Rileyrott Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) I'm starting Wayne and Engram over Edwards with Royal and Holmes (bye) on my bench. At this point, I don't trust Edwards/Anderson to deliver, especially against the Giants. But, I'm NOT dropping Edwards, nor trading him, as I too hope he can recover. I agree that he is too talented to tank the whole season, but I am worried about QB Anderson's ability to get it together.

JetFanMike Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) I'm another guy who was going to sit Braylon and start Engram ahead of him. But with Hasselbeck's health issues, I may go back to Braylon -- I jjust hate having receivers playing on MNF (I like QB's and RB's, because they get you points a little at a time; WR's sometimes go a long time with nothing happening). Of course, I also have Marques Colston, who's supposedly back this week, but I don't know if I want to gamble on him either just yet... And by the way, with Kellen Winslow possibly out or less than 100% Monday night, I figure that's gotta increase Braylon's value (since nothing could really decrease it at this point).

JetFanMike Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 With Hasselbeck now considered unlikely to play, I figure that devalues Engram enough that I probably WILL go with Braylon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Are you guys starting him against the G-Men? I am actually going to sit him for the 1st time this year (except his bye week). I have lost complete faith in him for this season I am starting Engram over him. He's actually become my WR5 Probably starting Bryant or Colston.

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 My Wr's are: AJ B. Edwards Boldin Vincent Jackson With bye weeks, Boldin's injuries and zip to be had on the waiver wire, I'll be starting him with confidence. I'm always shocked and laugh at the loaded line-ups owners have on these boards. Most of us must be either fantasy geniuses or play in lolli pop easy leagues. Here's hoping your confidence can overcome Jackson's monster nite...5/134/1 so far. Still feeling good about starting the bust of the year, Braylon Edwards?

evilkokonut Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 after spending a second round pick in braylon, i feel i have to start him every week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sitting him this week for the 1st time this year. Probably starting Berrian over him. nice call I'm starting him. I'm not too thrilled with my other prospects. I've got Harrison Vs Balt and Muhammad @ TB. ouch The moment I sit him will be his big week. My other options are S. Breaston and B. Johnson. I think I'll roll the dice and hope the bye week did some good. ouch again Well, for that matter, I have Berrian and Coles who I suppose are ahead of him until I see something as well. nice! Might start Vincent Jackson over him, not too thrilled with the matchup. hope you did indeed start Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still feeling good about starting the bust of the year, Braylon Edwards? Yeah genius, I started V. Jackson out of necessity but also gave Edwards the start as well. Thanks for being so concerned. I'm touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 tere is no way in hell I sit guys like LT, Moss and Sjax EVER. they all had monster weeks, eh? My Wr's are: AJ B. Edwards Boldin Vincent Jackson So who did you sit, or lemme guess, you started everyone but Boldn Yeah genius, I started V. Jackson out of necessity but also gave Edwards the start as well. Thanks for being so concerned. I'm touched. Sarcastic name calling....I get it....so you started AJ, Edwards AND Jackson BTW, justt how did you manage to get 3 pre-draft stud WRs on your roster?

Clearly you're part of the fantasy lineup police. Since you're watching me so closely, my team is loaded at WR but lacking at RB. My no. 1 RB is.....Earnest Graham. We're allowed to start 3 WR's or 3 RB's if necessary. I did the WR/WR pick in my draft and thought AJ and Braylon would be a nasty 1-2 punch. Luckily, Boldin has been blowing up until he got crushed by that hit. If that's all officer, can I go home now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSUChiefsTarheelFan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 IT doesn't matter if I start him at this point, because every other damn player on my team ain't doin shyt!!!!!

Your getting awfully defensive over some ribbibng. BTW, maybe you can start a thread asking LT/Moss/SJax owners if, after yet another dismal week by these former "studs", if they are must-starts every week. I think the argument to bench them for more favorable alternatives continues to grow stronger every week. There is no question that they are not givens every week.

myhousekey Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Sitting him this week for the 1st time this year. Probably starting Berrian over him. Well apparently I realized Friday that my team is so bad / injured / on bye that I have to start Braylon along with Berrian this week even though I had planned on sitting him....

twiley Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I started Walter over him. Got 11 points which has been way better than that Turd Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTed46 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Looks like you made the same mistake as me...got a goose egg from Engram! I got creamed this week and I made the right choices. I did not start Engram (once I found out Hass was out) and I sat Addai (another goose egg). I lost by 74 points and was one of the worst performances I can muster.

alexgaddis Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Crap, need him in one league, playing against him in another... I sat Harrison for him in one league, the other owner sat Harrison for him in the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I own him in two leagues, started him in both and can't lose tonight in either. I want him to give me some points though. I am 44 points behind for the final wildcard spot in one league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm hoping he at least has 7-10 catches and a TD tonight...I have a guy who is willing to give me Colston for him straight up in a 6 player keeper. I don't need him to produce to win, as I've already crushed my opponent by 30 going into tonight, but I'll take the Colston/Brees connection every day of the week.

I'm pretty much sure anyone hopes for at least 7-10 catches and a TD from their WR every week, regardless of who it is. Of course, if I was starting Braylon, I'd be pretty freaking fired up with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if he does well, he keeps some trade value for Colston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
