bhawk91 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Really torn on who to start here. I'm lucky to be in the semifinals and obviously don't want to screw it up. Eli - best 2014 fantasy performance was against Washington in week 4 (4 TDs) Sanchez - seems to be the "safe" play Johnny - potential I'm playing the highest scoring team in the league this week and do not expect to win. Opponent is starting Josh Gordon... so if starting Johnny I could mitigate any of Gordon's production. Any advice is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhtonn Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have the exact same issue. Right now I have Sanchez starting. Feel that's a solid play vs Cowboys. If I play Eli I just always feel like he is hot or ice cold. Sunday is a day he should be solid but he could come in a throw 3 picks. As for Manziel well that's really tough. He could out score both because he can run. I think he scores twice and throws for 200 yds. I just can't pull the trigger cause he has only a few snaps in a regular season game. I really think he impresses Sunday though. For me Sanchez is the play but come Sunday I may get crazy and throw Manziel in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli seems poised for a huge day and I could see Manziel blowing up, at least for one or two weeks. But ever since Foles went down I've gone with Sanchez... and in a fantasy elimination matchup, I'd kick myself for not going with the 'safe' play. But since I feel like I'm the underdog in this matchup, part of me wants to gamble with Manziel. Tough decij... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripler66 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I also have the exact same three playing one seed. I had tre mason last night(no other starting rb available) since I'm at a huge disadvantage I'm rolling with johhny football hoping he blows up. I'm also playing Gordon so that's a plus.

Parlaying John F with JG could pay huge dividends. I wish you good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripler66 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yup my only chance is dumb luck. I don't need 20 points I need 40. Not that any of these bums could do it, I think Johnny has the best chsnce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhtonn Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Maybe we will get some other advice from the guys on here who do t have any of these guys. Anyone else have thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhtonn Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm really starting to lean Manziel. He could easily throw for 225 yards. Throw 2 yds. Rush for 60 or 70 yards and maybe even run one in. The math puts him at 29. So even with 2 interceptions he's at 25. Is Sanchez or Eli gonna get 25 easily? I dunno but looks easier for johnny. Maybe thinking to much but could put me in the championship game next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhtonn Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Meant throw 2 tds sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huthuthike Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Me personally I disagree lol not only did Eli have his best game if u look it up he always has good games against the skins and on top of how awful there secondary is I could c and unfortunately 4 me beckham having a monster day and skins r the worst in covering tes this was the game donnell had 3 tds...I truly think he has the highest point potential..I have the same problem except I don't have Eli as a choice so I have 2 roll w sanchez but the rest of my squad is nasty tho so I'm playing it safe w him but if I had Eli he would b in...gl hopefully were all talking on here next week lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripler66 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 No matter what where all going to be pissed on Monday or Tuesday... I hate Eli because he either has -2 or 150 points you just never know, with Jennings at 100%(they say) they might run all night? Dirty Sanchez has been solid around 20 (minus seatle). I think he's the safe play, but since I'm in a dark hole I've gotta gamble and go with johhny football. Can't wait to complain about how dumb I am latter good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekm803 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have Sanchez and just grabbed flacco against Jax but have access to manzell, eli and derek Anderson. Can't decide where to go either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles28 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have Cutler, Eli, Sanchez, and Manziel. I picked up Manziel as a potential play for next week. This week got to go with Eli. They all have downside but Eli had 4 TDs vs Skins on the road without ODB earlier this year and I think Skins may be giving up on the season.

derekm803 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Fantasy pros has Sanchez 13 eli 14 manzell16 and flacco 17. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2Nation21 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Eli or Johnny Football. I see both having big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekm803 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Since no one said Flacco that's who I'm taking. Last time I followed the advice on here it bit me in the a**. I still believe Anderson will put up like 25 on Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripler66 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wish I would have started Carson Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekm803 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Only 15 for flacco. 27 for eli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
