Who Should I Start? - Fantasy Football

[A55VA6]

I have Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan. Manning plays Seattle, Ryan plays Tampa Bay tonight.

Who's the better start?

 

[RhodyRams]

quick, plug Ryan in

 

[Jorgeh0605]

I'd have to side with Ryan, though what a tough decision to make. How did you snag both of those two QBs?

If Manning wasn't in Seattle I'd say Manning, but since Ryans at home that's a safe bet. Their defense is still beat up too.

Is a gamble though. Expecially after the Chargers "cracked the code" on Seattle. But Ryan is hot. Play the hot player.

Ryan was terrible last week...

 

[A55VA6]

I'm going with Ryan. Hopefully he puts up good numbers tonight or I'll be kicking myself. haha.

Matty Ice Ryan...he's going to light them up for 340 3tds and 0 ints. Trade Manning for a lethal rb(s) or wr(s) of need. And then grab Austin Davis as your backup/bye week sub.

I just think Peyton wants revenge bad on Seattle. That said, Seattle just lost and they're playing at home. Ryan is the obvious choice, but if Peyton was at home it would make it a much harder decision imo.

Roddy White is inactive. Start Manning. Always bet the fivehead.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Manning is the safest bet on any fantasy team.

If you got Ryan, this might be the only week to start him over Manning.

That said, Manning will score fantasy points this week.

Ha you are right. I guess my brain thought he did well because I kicked ass last week and he is my QB. Guess not.

Ryan just got a TD and looked good so far, if you started him, you're off to a good start.

 

[mr.stlouis]

You can't start both, one in the flex?

Ryan, I guess.

 

[A55VA6]

Ryan, I guess.

Only 1 QB can start. Has to be a RB or WR at flex.

12.40 fantasy points so far in just the 1st qtr.

I hate that rule! You should be able to start whoever you want in the flex option.

QBs generally get more points than other positions, why would you put anybody other than a QB into the flex? You would be giving up points most of the time. So if they did that, they might as well just change it to another QB spot.

Nope, not neccessarily. If you go QB heavy then you neglect other positions. If you go QB and QB with your first two picks then rest assured your RB's and WR's will be average at very best.

But hey, I had a golden strategy. I went Rogers, Braynt, Murray, and banked on RG3 getting hurt. So I didn't worry about a second QB into very late in the draft. Risky? Kinda. But it worked!

If I had gone QB QB early then I would most certainly have had deficiencies in other areas. My team is stacked...

Rogers
Cousins
Murray
Stacy
Bryant
Wayne
Quick
Vinetari
STL D

That's just great stuff...

There's a substantial drop off from the top 4 QB's, most generally. Go for BPA.

If you have one QB have an off day and deficiencies elsewhere, due to not going BPA, you're screwed.

The top QB's rule most everything in your league.

Bump! Told ya @A55VA6
I was just wrong about over 300 yds by what 54 yards? Only because they sat him early.
