Sneaky,Tasty, Juicy, Salty week 1 starts (1 Viewer)

[rickyg]

this topic isn't to discuss the obvious starts (studs who you start regardless of matchup).

This is about the guys who make for an intriguing play based on matchup.

Id love to hear who you got!

Here's one:

Owen Daniels vs. Balt. Wasn't Baltimore horrible vs the TE last season? Have they fixed that problem?

Manning loves throwing to the TE, Kubal system favors the x wr and the TE. And Daniels represents that sure handed reliable receiver that manning likes to throw to.

50 yards and a td.

Who ya got?

 

[pecorino]

With half my team suspended or hurt, I am counting on Bryce Brown. If I had Jonas Gray I'd start him against a Steelers D who may give up 50 on Thursday. In fact, start every Patriot you own, I'd say.

 

[VikingFrog]

Woodhead versus Detroit.

Could see this being a higher scoring affair than predicted and hopeful that Woodhead gets a lot of touches.

4 for 40 rushing

8 for 65 receiving and a TD

 

[Jack White]

Woodhead versus Detroit.

Could see this being a higher scoring affair than predicted and hopeful that Woodhead gets a lot of touches.

4 for 40 rushing

8 for 65 receiving and a TD

You're predicting 25 points from Woody? That is a bold prediction.

I'll add that if you're thin at RB, Jonas could be your whale in Week 1.

 

[NajehHejan]

Eddie Royal vs Packers. Should be a shoutout. Alshon iffy to play or could be limited/gimpy.

I'm a bold dude, but not bold enough to play PPR, so I'm predicting 16.5 points.

 

[Jayded]

Ty Montgomery - GB - WR

With the Jordy injury, everyone ran to Jeff Janis as the third option, but it looks like Montgomery gets a chance to shoulder that role initially. I'm not totally buying Cobb as healed and think Montgomery is the sneaky play this week for GB.

 

[stuckinthemuck]

Rueben Randle and Terrance Williams as high upside WR2s facing off against each other in a high scoring game.

 

[kwille]

I was hoping the term 'sneaky' would have died in 2014. No suck luck.

How about DWill against a NE D that can't stop the run?

 

[Air Stich]

Is Marcus Wheaton a "sneaky" play? I've got him in one league and totally forgot about him until this morning. I'd love to get him in for the Thursday night circus against the Pats, but I'd have to bench Jarvis Landry...

I think I'm gonna do it.

 

[Sabertooth]

Eddie Royal vs. Green Bay.

 

[rickyg]

Agreed on Jonas gray. Playing to make a point too. Might be his only chance to shine this year and to redeem himself from his antics last season that relegated him to bench duty.

I think Landry is the better player. But Wheaton is on the more potent offense. And frankly, once Bryant comes off suspension Wheaton might become unstartable. Smoke if you got me I guess.

No. A starting WR on one of the best passing teams in the league is not sneaky. If you said Coates, I would have agreed. They cut everyone who was in front of him but DHB...

 

[Manster]

Not sure its sneaky, but I this guy is kind of underrated right now. Kendell wright vs. TB. He seems to be MM's favorite target. Should get plenty of targets.

 

[Fresh Prince of Bel Nor]

If Tre Mason can't go, I really like Benny Cunningham as a minimum salary back in DFS. He has a tough matchup vs. Seattle, but would get all the work he could handle, including passing downs.

 

[Rubi]

Don't WAIT for David Johnson to be the main RB in Zona. Against a very offensive Saints defense he'll SNEAK in 2 TD's this week and pick up some to a lot of fourth quarter touches as The Cards sit on a multiple TD lead late in the game.

 

[The Dude]

None of the above are "sneaky" - there's no such thing as being sneaky about WDIS

 

[shadyridr]

LMAO at calling Owen Daniels a sneaky play

I am going to vote a great big NO on this one.

Of course there is. Sneaky usually turns into stupid though.

 

[Pietaster2]

Woodhead versus Detroit.

4 for 40 rushing

Came in here to post the same thing. Woody should really shine this week because it'll be a high scoring game and there should be a lot of quick passes and draw plays featuring Woodhead on 3rd down.

I think your estimate is very possible.

I'm riding the Woodhead express while L. Bell and Spiller are in the shop.

Guess you read what I just read: Gray may be cut today. Who's carrying the ball for NE in week 1, Bolden?

Gray definitely cut. Probably Bolden for Week 1, but I think this may be a week where the Pats just air it out and use some dink and dunk routes to serve as their running game. Brady with a 400/4 first week.

 

[Darryl Talley]

DMC is a sneaky runner.

 

[jandyt]

If Tre Mason can't go, I really like Benny Cunningham as a minimum salary back in DFS. He has a tough matchup vs. Seattle, but would get all the work he could handle, including passing downs.

While Cunningham is a cheap play in DFS, I still don't see him as a value play as his ceiling still isn't very high and his floor is very low. Think there are better cheap plays out there.

 

[beef]

i think you mean shutout

packers dst will $$$

 

[matuski]

Ok now you guys seriously have me thinking about starting Gray in week 1

I am the only idiot in my league will to touch NE RB's so I drafted both Gray and Blount

Soooooooo I read down a bit further in the thread and see that Gray has been cut

Therefore I won't consider starting him this week I am however still an idiot

 

[RushHour]

Tyrod every week.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Eddie Royal vs. Green Bay.

Is he healthy enough to play?

 

[red]

Deangelo count?

 

[dschuler]

Deangelo Williams. Bell is suspended, Wilfork gone from NE. Should be a lot of scoring

Wheaton, WR PIT. Bryant is suspended, NE has some defensive holes.

Crockett Gillmore, TE Ravens. Only TE on team that's been practicing and Dens OLBs love to blitz, could get burnt.

Richard Rogers, TE GB. Playing the Bears and not many receiving options for Rodgers currently.

Alfred Blue. Foster is hurt.

Eddie Royal. Jeffery banged up and smith out against what might be a shootout.

Reuben Randle WR. Cowboys lost Scandrick and Randle looks to be the benefitiary.

U would lose

 

[seahawk 17]

Dion Lewis.

 

[cubbie5150]

Dion Lewis.

Ugh...getting punked by BB week 1 would hurt. I mean, Lewis "makes sense." I just don't trust it.

 

[Stealthycat]

TE Garret Graham HOU

RB Abdullah - PPR

QB Fitzpatrick

WR Wayne

 

[Fresh Prince of Bel Nor]

TE Garret Graham HOU

RB Abdullah - PPR

QB Fitzpatrick

WR Wayne

I have a bad feeling about Wayne this week.

 

[ponchsox]

TE Garret Graham HOU

RB Abdullah - PPR

QB Fitzpatrick

WR Wayne

You just sold me on Wayne.

 

[riggidy]

with gray cut, and blount suspended .... James white in a ppr

 

[Donnybrook]

Dion Lewis.

I have little choice but to get punked by BB.

 

[Athletic Supporter]

With a limited supply of healthy WRs in NE, gotta think Scott Chandler will also be heavily utilized along side Gronk.

 

[smoker]

WR - Steve Smith Sr. (all year)

WR - Stevie Johnson

Interesting to think that david Johnson is a good play this week, You like him better than Ellington this week?

 

[Anarchy99]

with gray cut, and blount suspended .... James white in a ppr

I believe White is third in line after Bolden and Lewis.

 

[riggidy]

yes ... but the topic implied "sneaky" and in a ppr James White is now relevant. especially with blount suspended.

 

[conlilnew]

How about Amendola. NE doesn't have any WR's to throw to.

 

[cubbie5150]

Steve Smith , Sr....I agree, should be very solid, at least until he pulls a second half of season disappearing act. Just not sure I'd use him week 1 vs. Talib, et al.

I think I'm gonna do it.

You'd be an idiot to bench Jarvis Landry vs. the Redskins secondary, I think. Or really most weeks unless you have 2-3 better options.

 

[bucksoh]

Aaron Dobson should go off against Steelers Dbs.
