Debating who to start at WR:

Emmanuel Sanders @ Seattle

or

Steve Smith @ Cleveland

Thinking Emmanuel Sanders since he is a speed WR and the speedy WRs from SD exposed Seattle's secondary last weekend?

Also in this league, we play 3 defensive players.  I drafted mostly LBs thinking they get most of the tackles?  Is this the right strategy?  A tackle is worth 1 point.  2 for INT and Sacks.  Sack and INT are hard to come by, so I would rather have 8 tackles in a game than luck out on a sack or INT?

I'd go with Steve Smith.

Think I'd go with Smith as well. I think Seattle is gonna be pissed off on defense.

I have Peyton as my QB but I'm considering starting Matt Ryan (vs. TB) after what Seattle did to the Broncos in the SB. Also, they play in Seattle so it could be more of the same.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Alright, will start Steve Smith.

Cleveland has one of the best secondaries in the NFL, so thats a tough call, Seattle's shut down corners will be focusing in Demarius Thomas,and Seattle will also focus on Julius Thomas at TE, with that said I think that opens up Sanders at the slot. He is going to get a lot of looks by Peyton. In the Cleveland game, bc Smith is Baltimore's number one reciever, youre going to see Joe Haden with him at all phases of the game, I think he'll get limited action, IMO

Now you have me second guessing my TE.  I have Julius Thomas starting and Coby Fleener on bench.

I'm not so sure Steve Smith is the #1 receiving option for the Ravens.  I think Torrey Smith is the #1 option which should allow Smith more room to operate.  Julius Thomas is such a beast that he can't be stopped and Manning will always get him the ball IMHO.

I had Fleener on the bench as well. Just dropped him this morning. I dropped him and picked up Niles Paul from Washington.

What about my Defensive player strategy?  LBs over DEs and CBs?

I have Patrick Willis, CJ Mosley, Chandler Jones, and Donte Winter.

Not my fantasy team but managing it for my friend's work league.

Not familiar with a 3 player defensive league like that. Would seem to make sense to me to drop a LB and try and pick up a CB or ball hawking safety for the int's and a possible pick 6 from time to time.

Thanks!  This league requires too much analysis!  

 

[Lukus Alderman]

With Welker now reinstated, I think that makes your decision that much easier.

OK, ya'll gotta help me now. Should I play Matt Ryan tonight at home against Tampa Bay or play Peyton Sunday at Seattle???????

Peyton won me 2 or 3 FFL titles over the years. . .

Ryan. TB secondary is terrible. Only the Raiders secondary's worse.

 

[UTK66]

Ryan. TB secondary is terrible. Only the Raiders secondary's worse.

That's kind of where I'm leaning. Ryan outscored Peyton in week 1 at home but sucked last week on the road. They play at home tonight.

Normally, I'd never use anyone but Peyton but with the Broncos playing IN Seattle Sunday, that just makes me nervous.

Since the ATL d-line sucks, I'm playing Bobby Rainy tonight over Chris Johnson.  My other RB is CJ Spiller. Funny, how I am into this, but it's not even my team.  LOL.  Just helping out my friend.

Shit, just saw that Roddy White probably won't play tonight. That's a big target for Ryan.

Matty Ice is good at home!  They have other weapons!
