BlueCrue Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I almost always subscribe to the ASYS theory (last week went w/ Boldin despite his matchup against the Bears, etc), but am I overthinking it by considering starting Tatum @ Cleveland this weekend over LJ vs. San Diego? thoughts?

Rockerbraves Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 had I started Tatum over LJ last week i would have won Both have good matchups but LJ should have a bigger game this weekend at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stand10 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 LJ no doubt. Chiefs are at home which means they will play with a little more umph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrocks Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 ASYS! I sat Tiki last week against the #2 rushing defense (Atlanta). It nearly cost me the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdre13 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 C'mon dude you don't sit LT if the other team has Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White Ray Lewis, Urlacher AND Ronnie Lott, LT is a beast and you NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER sit him!

acesfull Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 i would sit LJ in a heartbeat he is up against the #1 rush def. and will most likely be down 20points in the first half,besides whats LJ done this here about 40 yards a game if that and 1yard td if he gets lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkpack4 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 start Tatum, much better match-up Cleveland run D is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'd go with Bell this week. That SD D is pretty damn good and LJ isnt putting up even close to the numbers owners expected from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecd2233 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I like LJ this week, I have the same isssue in one league and am goind Bell looks ng with LJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Rugby Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I hope bell has a better week. I've got him and my opponent is running LJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'd be starting Tatum Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The Chargers D is a monster this year... I think I would start Tatum given that choice this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is LJ = Larry Johnson not LT=Ladainian Tomlinson... just for clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman34698 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 hard to sit LJ but some might consider T bell(Den starting rb) as a stud also. Denver is definately a run first pass second if at all team this year. Tough choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzarvell Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I guess the real question is why you aren't starting them both... who is your other RB that is making one of these guys sit this week? R Brown at home against the Packers? Rhodes against Washington who has been easy to run on this year? Caddy vs Philly who has also given up a TON of yards to RBs? You've got some good matchups this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got some good matchups this week. right now, I'm more inclined to start Ronnie as one of my RBs. I'm an Indy homer and until either Rhodes or Addai is handed the starting job full-time they're just bench and bye week fodder. Not quite ready to trust Caddy yet. I've got a guy in my league interested in him so that I may be able to Coles for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makavelli005 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Tough call, but I will go with Larry Johnson. He has scored three weeks in a row, and even though the Chargers run D is stout, this is LJ. He is involved in the passing game also, so there are more then ample opportunites for him to do decent against a good team d. Also last week was the only game out his last four that he has not produced 100+ total yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I almost always subscribe to the ASYS theory (last week went w/ Boldin despite his matchup against the Bears, etc), but am I overthinking it by considering starting Tatum @ Cleveland this weekend over LJ vs. San Diego? thoughts? Of course you start Boldin last week...over Cotchery? You didn't have much else due to byes. Boldin is a stud compared to Cotchery. LJ is a stud but Bell is no reach here. Throw in the matchups and you even them right out. Cleveland is not poor but average and the Chargers are pretty stout. Now, take into the matchup effect of LJ going against LT and the fact that it's a division game and I think you should stick with LJ. Beware of teams coming off a bye like Cleveland. They should be prepared well. I think your real decision should be between Brown and Bell..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 If you're thinking about sitting LJ, you ought to put him on the trading block for an upgrade at qb or wr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloody squirrel Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 LJ willbe fine and in fact has been improving each week in regards to fantasy points (with the exception to last week). Last weeks game was over by half-time and really that limited the opportunities for LJ. First, always start your studs. Second, power to you if can trust that a Shannahan RB won't screw you. If you can, then your are a better man than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShiznit Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I would start LJ only for the simple fact that big time players show up for big time games. I think LJ may struggle some...but should out point Tatum. I have Tatum in another league...and will be starting him this week...but only because I have Droughns!!!! Stick with you #1 draft pick. You would hate to lose going....doh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
