Fantasy Question: Austin or Quick?

[Loyal]

Right now, I have Austin at WR, with Brian Quick on the Bench. I keep thinking about how good Quick looked, with Hill getting the ball to him over the middle.I really think Quick will have a good year

But then I remember those two games that Austin had last year, before he injured his ankle.He says(Austin) that the game has "slowed down" for him..But can Schotty work him into the offense?

Who would you start on Sunday, and why?

 

[stlramscar]

i have both on my fantasy team as well,i have Quick starting because he will sunday opposite Britt.

Austin is listed as the #2.... so i'd roll with that until after the first game, but thats me

Yes....but then Austin can make more yards and get a TD than man WR's do all game? will Britt get more love that Quick because he is the vet?

I am having a hard time with that one as well.

I have one spot for either Tavon, Quick, or C. Patterson.

lol....If you pick Patterson and he does well, how sucky would that be?

I would go BENCH until something gets proven or you need a bye week replacement. If you have no choice, then you have a pretty deep league, I'm guessing 20 players.

I had to make a choice beteeen C. Patterson and K. Britt this week and went with Patterson. However, I went all in on a Sportsbook bet that a Ram reciever would get over 55 yds recieving, which I believe Britt will do handily.

I've got a couple Rams in each of my leagues...but they are all on the bench until I know what they are going to be.

stacy owners may wanna pick up cunningham....

Rams GM Les Snead said this week that he expects the offense to go with the "hot hand" in a given week at running back.

Exactly what Zac Stacy owners feared. While Stacy is listed as the Rams' starting running back, Benny Cunningham started the third preseason game and has by all accounts looked like the better back this summer. Cunningham is going to have a role on offense on Sundays. Predicting how big of one is the problem. Stacy is currently our No. 11 running back for Week 1, while Cunningham is 62nd. The gap may turn out to be closer than that. Stacy is still start-able in a run-heavy Rams offense, but he may not be the RB1 we expect.

I tried to be less of a homer this year, but near the end of the Draft all the names were unrecognizable...Couldn't resist Brian Quick then..lol

I might do that for fantasy...I still think Stacy is more violent hitting the hole, than any of our other RB, and I like that

Agreed! That's what I usually end up doing.

I thought I had some good drafts but the "grade" came back about middle of the pack each time...the first draft grade made a point to point out that I drafted 3 Rams as backups and said I was destined for mediocrity...:jerkoff:

lol really? in both fantasy drafts i did this year i found value receivers late...

Cash league - Hilton in 6th, Floyd in the 7th, Reggie Wayne in the 10th, Golden Taint in the 12th (I think Taint is gonna have a monster year), Jared Cook in the 14th lol (15 rounds)

ROD league - wayne 9th round, 10th round cooper

I picked up Floyd with my 3rd to last pick in one league...couldn't believe it.

I also took Golden Taint with the same thought. Being paired next to MegaTron should work in his favor.

Yea i think they're both going to be studs - especially with all the talk of Floyd becoming 'the guy' in Arizona.... and I think Taint is gonna have a monster year; Detroit didn't pay him so handsomely for no reason...

I would start Austin. Quick is still an unknown.

With Austin you also get return and rush yards and tds. He's all around a player with much more potential. I have quick and may start him If Crabtree looks injured but very wary.

Doesn't mean quick can't have a great game though, Vikings coverage is very suspect.

That's the thing..I suspect that Quick will have a breakout game, at some point..Just don't know when, and most will miss that fantasy production because he will be on the bench!

Yep. It sucks when you miss out.

Realistically, I can't help but think a big game is more likely with triple threat Austin though.

I am having a hard time with that one as well.

I have one spot for either Tavon, Quick, or C. Patterson.

I would go with Patterson, he is going to be heavily featured in the Vikings offense and will run a combination of high and low percentage routes with the possibility of getting a few runs as well. I expect the Vikings to throw some screens or slants to Patterson with the pressure the rams' D line is going to put on the Vikings with their pass rush.

With Mr Interception at QB?
