Borat33 17 Posted September 13, 2007 Well he was mediocre last week against a tough JAX D and this week faces an improved Indy unit. When I drafted him I was looking forward to throwing him out there against the Colts but now...not so much. So are you guys featuring him or looking elsewhere? I am undecided as of yet/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssharpe12 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm actually sitting him for grossman. I like vince, but he may be forcing things playign to colts to keep up. Grossman wasnt a disaster vs SD, he will ahve an easier time vs. KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Mad_Cats 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm starting him this week over Hasslebeck. I like the fact that he will have to carry the team on his back to compete with Indy this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzly 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm probably starting him over Eli. I drafted him to be my #1 QB and things have not changed, I don't give up after one game. Jax has been a consistent good DEF, I'm not sold on Indy's DEF being that good yet. If Young is below average this week we will see from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texansfan 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm starting Colts DST this week! Vince managed all of 78 passing yards last week. The Colts shut down DREW BREES last week. You do the math... And their defense is super fast so Vince won't find much running room either... With a healthy Bob Sanders, Indy DST might be back to a top 5 unit this year like they were 2 seasons ago!

I got the same squad Grizzly at qb and i'm keeping my fingers crossed for Eli, I'm buying the indy d hype. they were good at the beginning of last year too. Vince won't have a bad game but i think Eli will have a better one, especially if he's already practicing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nautzerious 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm playing him over Boller/McNair I'm in the same situaiton. I just picked up Boller. I'm actually thinking of playing Boller this week. I don't know why i think Mark Clayton will be good. First it's a high ankle sprain, now it's a big toe. Reminds me of Deion Sanders before he retired. remember his toe issues?

DrGonzo 1 Posted September 13, 2007 it's either young or JP Losman for me this week and Losman doesn't look like much. It's sort of a no win situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,591 Posted September 13, 2007 I will start him when i know he can actually throw the ball not just run with it . cause not being able to throw the ball certainly hurt vick in FF...... oh wait he was #3 last year, and was always a top 10 fantasy QB when healthy, your theory sucks.

northernsong 0 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm going to start him this week in a league that scores 4 for passing TDs and 6 for rushing TDs. Colts are on the road and not likely to duplicate the domination they pulled off last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mec411 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Absolutely starting him. That has as much to do with my other QB being Alex Smith as it does with the fact that he should bounce back nicely this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merv 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Starting VY over Bulger... but my league has a payout for the team with the highest rushing totals from your starters, no matter what position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newjackwhitsy 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Debating Father Time Favre over VY this week, but I'm compelled to leave Vince in there so I don't miss the big week...he basically plays "Tackle the Man" every week, which looks ugly as hell, but so far he's the guy nobody can totally shut down. Lot to be said for that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point, although VY is not Brees and vice versa. Can't compare the two, because you have to use different defensive schemes to shut down an athlete like VY compared to a pocket passer in Brees. It'll be interesting to see how Indy does against VY, but I hope he burns them this Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vick was running for 80 - 100 and passing for at least 150 plus 1 -2 TD . Young cant pass over 100 and runs for 30 - 40 , Young is nt even the passer Vick was ( which was nt much but still ).

Trust me, I don't think Bob Sanders will have a big effect on VY. Maybe on Lendale/Brown, but if you saw the game in Nashville last year, Vince ran all over that team. He broke Bob Sanders ankles on multiple occasions. It seemed like every 3rd down Vince would scramble 8-9 yards for the first. Sanders may disrupt Vince in the passing game, but I don't see them shutting down his rushing yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aggiewildlife 0 Posted September 14, 2007 VY is nothing more than a QB2 to be used in favorable matchups only. This is NOT a favorable matchup. Indy's DEF is pretty good, but more importantly, their offense is going to put alot of points on the board, meaning TEN will be playing from behind the whole game. VYs strength is running, so he's going to have to pass the ball to keep up. He's not a very good passer, but if you disagree with that, he has no weapons to throw the ball to. He'll likely make mistakes. I expect little production and more INTs than TDs from him. I'd look elsewhere if you have other options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadpool 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Young's stats from last year games vs. Indy Game 1 - 10 of 21, 63 yds passing, 4 Rushes, 43 yds, 1TD In most systems that would have been about 12 points. Game 2 - 15 of 25, 163 yds passing, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, 9 rushes, 78 yds In most systems that would have been 19 points. I would start him over Grossman for the simple fact you never know what you are going to get from Grossman. Too much of a gamble. At least with Young you know you will get somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 points with his passing and running. AND YES, I think he will get that vs. the Indy defense.

Perennial Contender 18 Posted September 14, 2007 Young's stats from last year games vs. Indy Game 2 - 15 of 25, 163 yds passing, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, 9 rushes, 78 yds That's all I needed to see. In my league that 27 points. I am assuming that game was in Tennesee. I was actually consisdering starting Losman or Grossman over him. I am definitely on the VY bandwagon and think he will put up Monster #'s this season. Jax owns him. Last week was an abberation. Didn't TB and Car shut down Vick often in the past? Fok it - I am starting VY. I drafted him to be my #1 QB. Of course when your other options are Losman, Grossman, (who both actually maight be good plays this week) etc it makes the decision a lot easier. I am hoping for 60-80 yards rushing, 1 TD and 175-225 yards passing, 1TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
