im creating this thread for people who need help deciding who to put in their starting line up in their fantasy leagues. heres my dilemma

i can only start one

blount vs the falcons

holmes vs the raiders

marshall vs the browns

im currently starting marshall because blount is inconsistent and holmes is not only battling injuries, but there could be jet lag

sheesh guys thanks for the advice. whatever i still won. i have another matchup i need help with

best vs cowboys

mathews vs dolphins

felix jones vs lions

blount vs colts

which three should i start

I would usually say Blount vs Colts, but seeing how our run D played last week, I'll pick Mathews vs Dolphins. The Fins defense has been nothing short of atrocious and Mathews gets more and more carries every week, and now even getting goal line touches.

i dont know about blount. the colts have done a good job stopping big backs in hillis and mendenhall and there definetly better then him.

You could take a risk on Felix, he does rack up a lot of yards from scrimmage from his receiving yards, but make sure you keep an eye on his injury. He practiced today so he should start as usual, but Murray should get a few more carries than usual.

Jay Culter

Carson Palmer (yuck)

Matt Hasselbeck

Curtis Painter

John Beck

Christian Ponder (yuck)

I'd go with Hasselback. Even in a blowout loss vs the Steelers, he had 262 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, if I am right. He has been solid throughout.

If the Bucs can pick off Brees, they can pick off Cutler too and the Titans' O-line, which being league low in rushing, is top notch in pass protection unlike the Bears' O-line. That is all the more reason to go with Hasselback coming off a bye week where he would have had more chances to practice with his wideouts and he spreads it around not keying in one or two wideouts, so Hasselback definitely, he will not lose it for you. The case with Painter's success vs the Bucs, one was entirely YAC for Garcon, not much Painter did on that TD, to be honest except get that short completion to him and let Garcon do the rest.

the bucs play the saints all the time. they know how to attack drew brees and the bucs defense doesnt travel well. if they couldnt handle going to the west coast how are they gonna handle going to another country.

Just based on the same logic, the Houston D had its worst outings on the road as well at Saints and at Ravens (except when they played a horrible Miami team). Besides, London is not the same as playing at Soldier Field. Cutler has not thrown a pick in back-to-back games for the second time in three years. So, that is how often you can rely on him to not throw picks. You can view that as either Cutler is hot or Cutler is due to throw a few picks in this game. The upside is greater with Cutler, I will agree on that. Hasselback is the safer option, IMO.

could also take a chance with tim tebow

I need a spark on my FF team, so I am starting him over Matt Ryan (crossing my fingers :)). I hope he minimizes his INTs and rushes for ample yards. 10 rushing yards from a rushing QB gives me the same 1 pt. that 25 passing yards does from a pocket passer.

If a team has speedy LBs, it will get Tebow down. If it has bigger but not speedy LBs, then Tebow has a chance to break a few good runs, IMO. We will see :).

I've got Romo at QB. Should I start Dez Bryant vs the Rams DEF, or Jordy Nelson (GB) vs the Vikings DEF?

Dez Bryant for sure. Aaron Rodgers likes to spread the ball a lot, so all Packers WR are boom or busts every week.

I´ve got one too (standard scoring, nfl.com)

QB: Schaub/Painter (I wanna start Painter, good Idea?)

If Andre Johnson cannot go, starting Painter is a good idea. Check pre-game reports, in all likelihood, AJ will miss one more game and that will affect Schaub's numbers, IMO.

Hey fellas, I have this diluted league with only 8 teams. I have 2 TEs on my roster - Jermichael Finley and Tony Gonzalez. I have Antonio Gates on waivers (goes back to just 8 teams), do I drop Gonzalez and pick up Gates now before he gets more healthy?

Thoughts???

      Report: 2024 Schedule drops May 15.

      I’m hoping we play the Vikings in October or November, so I can attend.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Both Flacco and Ehlinger are free agents.  Uncertain about the long list of upcoming QB FAs that we could target next season.  Remember AR is still very raw only played one full season much like Caleb Williams in college with very similar snap count and production.  I do see the Colts looking for potentially two backup replacements but also someone very early in Round 2 as a backup (with strong upside as a starter a must).  Jalen Milroe (Alabama) is my top front-runner and may see his draft stock rise to early Round 1, but right now if he is available to us in Round 2 then he becomes our next Flacco/Minshew.  Either Grayson McCall or KJ Jefferson could be potential draft replacements for Ehlinger.    Right now, can see us next year go Edge again in Round 1.  Both Ebukam and Lewis will be in their 30's and contracts up at the end of 2025.

      I don't know. There's some potential late games. Lions, Steelers, Bills, Dolphins, Packers. Texans for sure

      Agree, feels very late this year.    The NFL teams are preparing schedule release videos as we speak right now!

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      Simmons is someone the NFL and every referee unit continues to have their eye on during every play. The moment he does a big hit (he usually doesn't care about how and where he hits), the league is gonna serve him a 4 game ban. He would spend most of the year suspended, unless he plays by rules which he doesn't seem to want.    Do you think Ballard gets that type of player, with year long availability in question? There's a reason he's available in FA, not because he's waiting, but because only the teams that are okay with his style of play and its consequences will get him before the start of the season. Not sure Colts is that team.
