Title: Who Should I Start (Fantasy Football)?
Post by: Dos Equis on September 18, 2008, 02:19:49 PM
Have the Titans D and they have been great the first two weeks.  They host the Texans on Sunday. 

I picked up the Pats D too.  They host Miami, which has a pretty bad offense. 

Should I stick with the Titans or start the Pats?

Start the pats D. Belichick cooked up every defensive scheme Parcels ever won anything with. Parcels is a HOF talent finder and coach, but Belichick was behind the x's and o's IMO.

Flip a coin.

The Titans offense is better than Miami's, and have a decent running game compared to the Pat's offense. But both D's should dominate.

Thanks for the feedback.  Some additional info:

Titans D is no. 1 overall through two games, scoring 46 points (NFL.com league).

Pats D is no. 10 overall, scoring 26 points. 

That's why I'm struggling a bit.  I know the Pats have a better match up, but it's hard to ignore what the Titans have done their first two games.

Pennington's a better QB then Schaub, but Schaub has more weapons (Johnson and Walters and Daniels). However, the running game isn't one of them. If it was cold weather, I would definitely go with the Pats at home.

Both front three for both D's are ferocious.

Pats D in a landslide. Their front seven is as good as any in the league. Secondary is a little suspect and they will be tested against a strong passing game. But not this week. Miami doesn't have a strong passing attack by any means.

I would take the pats D based on Porters comments alone.....they live for that type of shit.

O Rly?  The Titans scored 25 and 21 points the past two weeks.  They scored more points than all but 5 FF players through two games. 

Do you play?

It's a coin flip.  Which type of owner are you - play the hot hand or play the matchup?

I've been starting the Pats D in my CBS money league, but then again, I don't have the Titans D.

This is always the dilemma with Fantasy and Defense.  All draft boards suggest either drafting a D last, or even waiting until waivers, but, every week, the D play a huge factor in scoring.

I drafted a D a little higher than normal this year, since I didn't see anything special in the really late rounds.

To stay on topic, who should I start at QB:   Rogers against Dallas, or McNabb against Pittsburgh?

You can't pass up the Patriots' D.

I would go with Rodgers against the Dallas D. He played well against the Cowboys last year when Favre got hurt. Also, the Cowboys D gave up 37 points to the Eagles last week. I don't see Mcnabb lighting it up agains the Steelers D.

Rodgers looks to be on a roll so I would stick with him.

It's all about the matchups.

Post by: Grape Ape on September 19, 2008, 09:21:59 AM
Thanks, Guts.  That's where I was leaning.  It's just hard to not start McNabb with the way the Eagles offense looks so far.

I'm a pretty conservative owner.  I usually stick to the "start your studs" viewpoint.  Barring injury, I don't often make major lineup changes, don't trade very often, etc.  I did just pick up Harrison off waivers and dropped Cassell.   :) 

I drafted the Titans D and expect to start them for the rest of the season.  I'm only having this dilemma because I picked up NE specifically for this Miami game, but didn't expect the Titans to be so good through the first two weeks.

I never draft defenses early because they are such a crapshoot at the start of the season. 

Tough choice at QB.  I don't think you go wrong with either one, but I'd give the edge to Rodgers.  Hasn't thrown a pick the first two games.

Funny thing is, I also have Titans and New England.

I went with the Titans because you have to lose your starting job on my team.

Thank God I stuck with them.

I'm nervous about losing Westbrook though  :'(

lol.  :)  I could only find one person who recommended that I start the Titans, and I almost listened to him.  NE got me a big fat zero, while the Titans scored 21 on my bench.   :'(  Still, I'm only down by 5 with Rivers playing tomorrow, so I should be able to survive listening to all you guys (j/k) and get to 3-0.   :)

Seriously, though, I appreciate the input from everyone. 

BTW, Bush has earned a permanent starting spot in place of Grant.

Highest scoring D in FF through three weeks. 

Still won by 21 despite the NE goose egg.  They are so cut.

Better get Bulger out of your lineups.  Not that he should have been starting for you anyway.
