NavinRJohnson Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Driver is my #2 WR. Normally, I'd play matchups with WR2. With all the man love around the huddle for Driver, it seems he's an automatic start every week?! First question, would you play matchups with Driver or put him in your lineup and forget about it. No brainer plug in stud WRs: S. Smith, Holt, Owens, ARZ WRs, IND WRs, Chad, Moss, Chambers, Roy...is that it? Is Driver part of that group? Second question. If Driver is not part of that group, would you sit him this week vs. CHI and start Rod Smith @ STL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Although a lot of us are in fact expecting a strong season from Driver, obviously it remains to be seen if he truly belongs in the "always start" group. Although Smith should have a decent game in wk1 vs. STL, I'd be inclined to start Driver despite his matchup ... even if GBP fall behind early, garbage yards still count in FF.

Wolv Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Don't know the rest of your lineup, but I'd be quite comfy with Driver as my #2. The GB running game sux, and GB will play from behind most games, so Driver gets the benefit of all the gunslinging Farve will have to do.

MrTed46 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I would be happy with Driver as my #2 or #3, not my #1 (who is always a plugin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Driver is not part of that group, would you sit him this week vs. CHI and start Rod Smith @ STL? 1. I'm using Driver as my automatic "plug-in" until he prove's otherwise. Not sure if he belong's in the first tier but again, until he show's that he's not going to perform he'll be in my lineup as my number two. 2.

MistaWrite Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Driver is my #2 receiver 2 (or tied for my #1 w/Plaxico) and I too think that, under the circumstances, he's a must start every week until further notice. Who else is Favre (beans and a nice Chianti) going to throw the ball to in pressure situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks guys. I palnned to play Driver every week. However, CHI really scares me. Like I said, the CHI matchups are probably the only time I'd consider sitting him. I'll keep him in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDude Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Driver will play every week in my lineup as long as he's healthy. Driver will be my #2/#3 WR WR1 - S. Smith WR2 - Roy Williams WR3 - Donald Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 If Driver is not an automatic plug in ... he's damn near. Either way I would not bench him for Rod Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerBacker Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The Favre will be throwing a lot, even vs. tough defenses, and Driver's his favorite receiver by far. I'd start Driver every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
