Superbowl Week: Fantasy Football Sit or Start Analysis

Just a reminder, I'll be around for any sit or start advice you're looking for in addition to our usual Fantasy Basketball discussions. Also, I should have the 2010 Fantasy Baseball Top Three Tiers of players ready in early January. If you have a 'sit or start' question for this weekends big football matchup, leave it in the comments.

  1. I am in a PPR league and QBs can be used as a flex. No brainer starts are Rodgers, Andre, and Benson. Now we have 2 flex positions and I must choose between Grant, DeSean jackson, Vince jackson and David Garrard. I'm leaning towards DeSean and Garrard, any advice?

  2. , if qb's can be flex, then garrard is a no brainer too. But there's no way I start desean v. The Denver secondary when Grant plays Seattle in a big game for them and Ryan has had a couple good weeks in a row. I say go garrard n grant.

  5. Iride, I think there's a typo, you said you were starting Alex smith over Vince young. Can't imagine you meant that. I understand the whole matchup idea, but you gotta figure a healthy dose of gore, and the tenn. game is home. I think Vince brings you home a trophy.

  6. Def like ATL defense over Houston. Houston wasn't very effective against lowly St Louis. And Buff is brutal. Swap in Atl.

  7. pick 2 to start:

    grant vs. seahawks
    beanie wells vs stl
    mendenhall vs baltimore
    steve smith ny vs carolina

  8. Grant and Wells.

    You know, when you all say PPR, I assume a reasonable PPR, like a half point or less per rec. If it's somethin stupid like a point or more per catch, my choices across the board are different. So I'm makin these calls assumin .50 points per catch, for both WR and RB.

  9. ppr in my league is 1 point per recpetion. still no steve smith start??

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ok then I'd go smith over wells, and I'll guess Brandon Marshall is the MVP of your league!

  13. I like your odds mamba, Moss n MJD should both be huge this week.

    ReplyDelete
  14. So you really have low expectations for smith this week against the detroit lion-esses?

    ReplyDelete
  15. What up Stodds, long time no hear. Yeah I don't see Alex really airing it out against D Town. I just don't think he'll need to. Sure the DET pass defense is the worst in the league, but their rush defense ain't much better. I haven't been impressed by Alex yet, and fully expect no more than one TD and at least one INT. Just my forecast though.

  16. In a standard ESPN league, which one of these waiver wire wonders would you roll with? Quinton ganther (he seems to find a last minute TD every week), Jason snelling (hopefully ATL is smart and shuts down the burner for the season), or Jerome Harrison (was that game last week a sign of things to come or just a fluke)
