Malcom floyd. He is going to have a big game.

 

Any rationale here, or just your gut?

I have seen everywhere else pretty much touting Titus as a sleeper in week 1

Any ideas between... Eric Decker(vs Pit) and Toby Gerhart(vs Jac) in my flex position?

Toby EZ, it made seem strange, but with AP out, Gerhart has the opportunity to put up way more fantasy points then AP could, for the simple fact that Toby is a 3rd down back as well

Well Mathews is out week 1 so their RB situation is not very good. They are going to have to throw the ball a lot to put up points in this game. The Raiders secondary is horrible as they lost 2 corners from last year. Plus when Floyd is healthy he doesn't seem to have much trouble putting up 100 and a td. There is definitely more than enough pass attempts to go around between him Gates and Meachem. Meachem on the other hand, I liked the move he made but he just hasn't developed any chemistry with Rivers. So I see the first game going on Floyd's favor.

I just picked up S. Davis. There is no way I bench him week 1. He has been a good luck charm over the years.

Robert Turbin, RB, SEA

 

News: With starter Marshawn Lynch still contending with back spasms, Seahawks backup running back Robert Turbin practiced with the first team Wednesday in anticipation of Week 1 at Arizona. According to the Everett Herald, the Seahawks won't make a decision on Lynch's status for the game until the end of the week.

 

Analysis: Turbin, a rookie, had a big preseason for the Seahawks, ranking eighth among rushers with 165 yards. If Lynch is out, he'll be the one carrying the load in Week 1, and his matchup couldn't be much better. The Cardinals ranked 21st against the run last year, allowing 124.1 yards per game. Whether you own Lynch or not, you'll want have Turbin on your roster for the increasingly likely event that Lynch misses the game. The rookie will be a sneaky starter in Fantasy if that's the case.

This is the time of year it gets interesting.. I have some sleepers picked out for tomorrow, but am very hesitant to post them. On the flip side, I have seen one person hyped over and over and over as the sleeper of the week for Sunday and I pray everyone listens and starts him as I think he's going to FAIL in a massive way. My question with the start 'em / sit 'em posts is this; Do you trust the person posting the info? lol Some of what I've read makes no sense, so why would you follow the advice? Example: Why would you sit Reggie Wayne tomorrow? The thread says you should, or one poster. I would not sit him. Chicago is great against the run, but very weak against the pass. Indy will be forced to air it out and Wayne should put up starter worthy numbers. Even if he only scores WR3 numbers, he's too good to be "sat" with no reason given as to why the poster believes this should be the case. Who is going to cover Wayne over the top? They will be using their safeties to guard against the run, or against Avery/Collie going deep. I see Wayne facing man coverage most of the day and them simply giving him what he gets. He isn't someone you are forced to game plan against like was the case 5 years ago. Any, just an observation.

 

I like Torrey Smith quite a bit tomorrow. He will be the beneficiary of the no huddle in Baltimore. I see many quick outs to him this season. Line up, throw to the right and hit him heading towards the sideline. He's fast enough to make this happen repeadetly, but watch and see if he doesn't turn upfield on a few of these plays and turn the sideline route into a deep pattern.

 

I like Ridley against TN tomorrow too. Marcs isn't playing at DT for TN, meaning they have even more inexperienced guys along the defensive front. If Vereen isn't playing, Ridley should be good for 100 and a TD.

 

I don't know if any of the 3 I listed will be great tomorrow, but I think all are being overlooked a bit.

I just don't get the hype around Joe Flacco and the no huddle stuff this year. Ray Rice is still the best player on the field and the WR's aren't all that special. Torrey is decent, but outside of that you got nuthin. You shutdown Torrey then who are the other options? :dunno:

We will see on Sunday. I give Cara credit for posting her picks with her reasons why

WW's

 

START 'EM

 

RGIII - especially in leagues that don't penalize turnovers. I believe he will be asked to throw a good amount on the road from behind and should add a little bit scrambling as well. It's nerve wracking starting a rookie on the road in week 1 but I believe the matchup allows it.

 

Pierre Garcon - i dont really like him in general but I believe he will be RGIII's preferred target this year so a come from behind game should make him a solid WR2 this week.

 

Jeremy Maclin - I believe Joe Haden is supposed to shadow D-Jax. Maclin should have room to work.

 

michael Bush - if you need a RB replacement for one of the many gimps. I tghink he should get enough production against a terrible Colts run D.

 

Deangelo Williams - even if J-Stew plays, he should have a solid game against Tampa and be a borderline RB2

 

DHB - With Moore a GTD, I like Heyward-Bey one way or the other.

 

 

SLEEPERS

 

Lance Kendricks - again in a catch up game. I think Amendola will be the WR to play but this guy should see his share of targets. He has to make good on them.

 

Braylon Edwards - I like Russell Wilson too but I won't list him here. Instead, I'll list who I expect to be his top WR. Maybe one long TD here.

 

Rod Streater - especially if Moore does not play.

 

SIT 'EM

Cedric Benson - nice to see a starting RB appear out of thin air this preseason but i'll be leaving him on my bench against Patrick Willis and company.

 

Mike Wallace - probably an easy call here but with all the time missed and Champ on him, I'll sit Wallace and play Antonio Brown.

 

Jacob Tamme - I think people have been a bit too high on him. They don't realize Joel Dreesen will be utilized. Even without Ryan Clark in the Pitt D, i don't like Tamme this week.

 

Reggie Bush - Texans defense should limit him. He may still be startable in PPR formats but I would temper expectations.

 

Donald Brown - I'm higher on vick Ballard at the moment. We need to see how things shake out. I do own Brown as a RB5 on one team but no way I want to start him this week against the Bears.

 

 

BUSTS

Chris Johnson - when will the Titans need to abandon the run in this one? They also have more weapons in the passing game than prior years. CJ didn't look great in the preseason either.

By the end of the year you will be changing your tune about torrey. Breakout time.
