Colt McCoy sneaky week one start? (1 Viewer)

[Tchula]

McCoy plays against the Bengals week one. On paper this looks like a sneaky play. Will the Browns run the ball too much to make me wrong?

If you've got Manning as your 'starter', sure. Otherwise I've got a hard time imagining a real lineup where someone would use him week 1.

 

[Tecumseh]

I wouldn't have much problem starting him if you have 6 point TD's.

I wouldn't be surprised to see McCoy put up top 10 #'s week 1.

Better plays for week 1:

Grossman against a decimated secondary of the Giants and no Umeniyora either

Whoever starts for Colts against that horrible Texans secondary ... Collins?

Hasselbeck against that horrible Jax secondary

But who would you have drafted as a starter that you would actually bench for him? That's the key. High risk, low reward move in starting him if anyone else was your first QB. He might get you 1-2 points more than your actual starter, and he might get you 10-15 less...

I got Peyton Manning & McNabb in my dynasty. McCoy is starting

For two QB leagues (I'm in two), he is a viable week one start with upside. And trust me, worse QBs will be started in those leagues.Other very large leagues (20+ teams) would be another case where McCoy could present value.

 

[PewterFan]

While a home game versus the Bengals is appealing, I want to see what McCoy looks like in year #2 before I start puttting him in the starting lineup. Had this been a Week 3 game and he has proven that he's capable of posting up quality numbers I'd be all over it. Just not in Week 1, if I have safer options.

 

[Captain Blowhard]

I'm torn on this one. I too am leaning McCoy over Flacco this week (the latter has Pit).

And, yes, it's a very large league--that's how I ended up with those two.

 

[Darrinll40]

I am in a two QB league and I am starting him and Sanchez.

So... the exact QB I named. Thanks.

In redraft I cant see wanting to start Colt. Are we just talking dynasty?

What top12 QB would you want to start McCoy over?

If you asked what top 15, I could think of a few

I guess he beats all 3.Gmen love the rook, may be OK (not great, not better, not...but OK) without OsiOh yeah and you're a Bears fan that predicted good things for Grossman. I just wanted to point that out to you is all.

I'm more curious to see if the addition of Joseph makes the Houston secondary a tougher opponent. I think HOU defense will be a bit better than what others think.

I think Colt McCoy puts up more fantasy points that Tony Romo this week, call me crazy.

I agree. FTR, I'm starting Stafford over Romo. If I had McCoy, he would be my play.
