Great article and so very true. For Week 2 I over analyzed and started Fred Taylor instead of Westbrook. I was especially worried after reading on Sunday morning that Westy was a "gametime decision". Fearing a big ole ZERO I panicked and put Fragile in. I deserve what happened to me.

 

Always Start Your Studs. :D

 

Unless you don't have any, ie, Randy Moss, LaMont Jordan, etc. :D

I've almost written this article several times. You simply can't play the matchups in the first few weeks because you have no idea what the matchups really are! I have a hard and fast rule that I follow: set a lineup of my best players (the ones I drafted to start) and turn in that lineup for the first three weeks, excepting byes and injuries of course. I almost always start the season 3-0 (excepting Dynasty Wars where I took over a wretched franchise).

 

Peace

Agree to a point, but, you do have to still look at injuries to other teams. I started Amani Toomer in two leagues because Philly was without their starting CB. Other than that, I think you make a very good point here.

I think that's a good rule of thumb, but not an absolute by any means (just like Occam's razor). Edited by BeeR

in botnh league, i am starting stallworth and coles over my top picks moss and moss. i benched randy for donte last week and that worked out well. in my local league, i lost because i went against tomlinson and toomer for one thing, but i lost by 6 pts. the difference would have been made up if i had started L.J. Smith my backup ( :D ) over my starter gates. also might have made the points up switching kickers.....reed = big fat goose egg. anyway, always exceptions to the rule and i never try to outhink things. just looked like a trend had started as far as my wr's were concerned.
