So who is starting Ware this weekend?

[Vikes_Fan 8]

I'm kicking it around as I have a few options. Hou wasn't so good against the pass last week, but pretty decent against the run. Given his monster game, I've got to think he's going to see more reps, especially with Charles not ready. Thoughts?

[cavern 70]

assuming he plays (toe) and charles is out, i most definitely will put him in

[Frozenbeernuts 1,653]

Unless your lineup is unbelievably stacked it's silly to sit him. Although I do have some decent options in a few leagues over him. Still can't sit him. Would you sit Charles on a rough matchup? Plus Ware is the GL back

[rsmnutt 8]

Would you start him over Gurly, Lacy or McCoy?

[Frozenbeernuts 1,653]

Yes

[TennisMenace 156]

I have to start him in my number one league because everyone else I have are back ups in time shares or injured (Charles).

[rallo 132]

People need to get over the name on the back of the jersey. If you have the KC starting RB or the Pitt RB you start them...

Exactly... have to start him in Langford against my own defense which is Philly. I hate doing that

 

Have to bench matt jones, crowell and cmike. Too much timeshare

[Vikes_Fan 8]

well, Yahoo says I'm wrong, but I put Ware in over Freeman... Really hoping that the high pick on Freeman doesn't burn me.

Yahoo stat projections, remarkably, are fairly accurate towards the end of the season (not perfect, of course). But early on, before they get a ton of data for the current season, they are terrible. As bad as their Draft Grades, which are downright laughable. Ware over Freeman is absolutely the right call to make.

[BobSanders_33 127]

I have Ware in both my leagues. The toe issue and Houston defense concerns me. Toe issues can't be taken lightly. I'll sit him in a legue where I have DJ, CJ, and DWill. If he plays I will flex him in my other league.

[weepaws 2,516]

Yea Ware is going to be a game day decision for me , I think that toe injury is not a lite issue.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Until Charles is back he's a no-brainer. Probably still has value even when a slow-healing soon to be 30 Charles returns.

[gitrdun 16]

I have him, D WILLIAMS and Zeke. Planning on sitting Ware. Tough call.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

If Ware starts and Charles sits, I will start him again over Latavius.

[IGotWorms 3,440]

Silly question

[ROCKFORD 134]

good question

[kilroy69 1,027]

I am rolling him till the wheels fall off. If he blows up again it could be a full blown time share or even ware taking over. Charles could be shopped.

Remember, Ware had only 70 yards rushing, but 129 yards receiving. So if the Texans aren't good against the pass..........

[phillygrrl08 139]

So if the toe turns into something serious, is anyone playing West?

[thePRO 78]

Thinking about starting him over DeMarco Murray again, but I like Murray this week! So maybe not!

[DrG 94]

Grabbed West

We will see who starts

[bjsteel 34]

S. Ware, D.Bryant or A. Robinson at the flex? PPR

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,661]

If Charles is out the only guy I don't 100% start him over is David Johnson

[weepaws 2,516]

Like Robinson in ppr this week.

[joeshushu 51]

I think I am rolling with D. Murray over Ware. The toe thingy scares me(especially if it is turf toe) into thinking West gets more playing time besides Texans good against the run? I know the majority of Ware's points came with the pass but...

[weepaws 2,516]

I agree with the above post , I do think Reid will take a look at what he as in West this week.

[IGotWorms 3,440]

Silly. Ware is a damned stud and you start him until he proves otherwise. It's really that simple.

 

Unless he actually doesn't play of course. But short of that he'd best be in your lineup.

[kilroy69 1,027]

Why? If you are trying to win games you go with your best healthy players. West is not better than ware.

[brotherbock 349]

Ware was full go in practice today.

[FeelingMN 273]

Looking at his gamelogs with KC....every time he's received 10+ carries, he's averaged like 6ypc. Throw in the fact that he's proven to be a very good receiver and there's no reason for Reid to go away from him. Now, it's Andy Reid....so anything is possible. But I don't think his huge game was a fluke. Dude has produced when given the chance.

 

Some higher profile guys are in prove it mode for me....Dez, DT, Gurley.....guys who have iffy situations and aren't producing. For me, I need to see them do something before I feel confident in starting them. Ware is just the opposite. You start him until he gives you a reason not to.

[joeshushu 51]

I may have to throw him in there now with Murray. I was going to sub Diggs in full PPR but with Minny QB issues only the fantasy gods no for sure.

If it were me, I'd want to give Bradford and his receivers a week on my bench with Sam making his first start, if I had good alternatives. I like Diggs, but does he have chemistry with Bradford?

[thePRO 78]

Someone said it best.

 

He's no Charles, but in fantasy, he's starting to put up Charles-like numbers and his YPC are high like Charles too. Would you sit Charles?

This would probably be smart. I love Diggs this year, he's by far the best WR Bradford has ever had. Got him super late because everybody was scared off by the Minnesota offense (understandable).

 

But Diggs is a special talent.

[thePRO 78]

In the playoffs last year he went 16 for 67 and 1 TD. Sounds about right for this week. Hopefully throw in 4 catches.

[BobSanders_33 127]

I'm starting to lean to Blount as my flex play. The toe concern is an issue. UT adding that both starting KC guards have been ruled out is even more worrying.

The guards being out is a big issue. I probably still roll Ware because Miami defense looked pretty good.

[weepaws 2,516]

Darn it I'm going to bench him this week. .

 

Tough matchup and now two OG are out no thanks.

[Mr Neil 63]

The loss of both guards is huge. But remember he did a LOT of his damage through the air which they may use a lot of screens and dump offs to mask that weak OLine
