Medal of Honor Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Team is in my signature. All TDs are 6 points. A lot of my flex guys have good matchups this week, so it's tough to make a call. Start RB RB RB/WR WR WR T. Jones vs. underrated ARI C. Johnson vs. the very impressive MIN run defense T. Hightower @ the LOL Jets defense P. Thomas vs. SF which is pretty favorable S. Smith vs. a weak ATL pass defense H. Ward vs. an outstanding all-around BAL defense J. Reed @ TERRIBLE STL and starting as a #2 with his buddy Parish out for 4-6 weeks I. Hilliard vs. GB, a game that TB traditionally wins, plus GB's number 1 defensive back Harris is out Tough call, at least with my receivers. I've actually got Hines benched right now, because the other three guys are so favorable. Who do I start in these 5 spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medal of Honor Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 You don't think Ward is going to get raped by Baltimore like every other receiver does? Plus the fact that PIT has no offensive line to speak of, I wonder if any balls will even get to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I don't see PIT running all day, which leaves passing as their only choice for moving the ball ... how much success they have remains to be seen, but Ward will be involved one way or another. Hilliard is not a BAD play in a PPR league (yours is not, right?) but I don't expect him to do much better than say, 6 / 55 / 0 which leaves Ward as an alternative that should be as good if not better.

Medal of Honor Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) Thanks. That makes sense. I actually wasn't starting Hilliard. I had Pierre Thomas in my flex against SF. Is this a mistake? Ward a better choice? Also, Ward's not scored on Baltimore since 2004. Also, Big Ben is going to be pressured so much with his lack of an offensive line and the big pass rushers from Balt. I know you always start guys like Ward.... but I'm afraid and feel like almost every other guy I have has a more favorable matchup.

ts Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 IMO, Pierre has to score to be worth a start ... not saying that he won't, but my crystal ball is often fuzzy on predicting which part time role player will find the EZ each week.
