Palmer out week 2. Start Fitz or Floyd? (1 Viewer)

[Tchula]

With Palmer out week two is it safe to start Fitz or Floyd? Stanton is the QB.

is this stanton any good? i have floyd in both leagues... although not much at backup

 

[SameSongNDance]

I think this hurts Floyd more than Fitz and likely hurts both in general. I don't know much about Stanton's arm but Palmer has become good at hitting Floyd deep. Fitz can act like more of a safety valve in the slot.

 

[cayronut]

good question. i'm thinking of sitting Floyd for cooks in ppr.

####. Debating sitting Floyd. Although I am a big believer in Arians having his qb prepared.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Have both Floyd and Fitz and I think I may just roll with them. Giants got lit up last week.

My other options would be Marshall (Q at 830), Cruz, or Hunter.

May sit Floyd for Cruz.

I just switched cooks in for Floyd. If it makes you feel any better.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I would do Cooks over Floyd. Cooks is in my lineup.

Same here.

stanton hasn't thrown a pass in an nfl game since 2010.

i think this bumps up ellington but hurts fitz and floyd.

sitting fitz for watkins in ppr.

I swapped in Benjamin for Floyd.

The only positives are Stanton's been in this offense for 3 years now (Indyx1,AZx2) & practiced with the 1's all week (Palmer sat)

Negatives: He's Drew Stanton, hasn't started in nearly 4 years, only once in 4 starts has he surpassed 175 yards (3 TD 5 INT)

Ive got decent options (Wayne, Crabtree, T. Williams)...just like Floyd better in this matchup with the Giants...but no Palmer has me worried.

That's my decision. Just not sure what to do yet.

 

[Tchula]

NFL network just said the coach wanted Stanton as his starter before they landed Palmer. I'm not confident in the AZ running game. My gut is telling to to start Fitz or Floyd

 

[dgr81]

Stanton's career stats: 55.6%, 5 TD, 9 INT. 2 lost fumbles.

i decided to do the exact same in one league.. although gore at the flex in this PPR league had me think about it.

in my other league my only other viable choice was keenan allen and I think i'm just gonna stick with floyd

 

[doubletrouble]

Fitz in for me...Staton should be btr than noodle arm Palmer

 

[32 Counter Pass]

Stanton's career stats: 55.6%, 5 TD, 9 INT. 2 lost fumbles.

Very uninspiring stats, and he hasn't thrown a pass in a regular season game since 2010. Maybe the Cards come out out and throw a lot of short passes to the WRs (including Fitz) to build up Stanton's confidence early(?) We got nowhere to go but up from 1-22yds, right?

 

[Mighty Mice]

Benched Floyd for Hawkins. Feel with Cameron out, Hawkins gets 10+ targets. It's hard to see Floyd or the passing game in total doing very well with Stanton.

I could go with DJax over Floyd in another league but not sure there...

 

[Interseptopus]

My backup option is Pierre Thomas in a ppr... Debating.

Floyd is against the giants #1 cb today per reports

 

[JFS171]

How is this a bump for Ellington? Seems like the Giants D can just focus on stopping him and dare Stanton to beat them...

in ppr he will catch a lot of short passes.

stanton has a very weak arm.

Agree with this.

If I owned Ellington and I had a decent option as backup, I'd go for it.

As a Floyd owner with boom/bust backing up (asiata and P. Thomas) I'm going to go with Floyd and hope he gets like 5/75 and be happy with that

Ok - I have Ellington in a standard though… so that's likely the difference. Hadn't thought about the short passes from Stanton.

Honestly, I hope Ellington doesn't break in this game.

 

[knickstorm]

think i'm going Hurns over Fitz.

 

[Interseptopus]

think i'm going Hurns over Fitz.

Hurns is a FA still in my league. Seriously considering starting him over Floyd... Hmmmm

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Expect a ton of short passes with Stanton today. He played with and connected with John Brown in the preseason. He may see more targets/PT than usual. Still wouldn't start.

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

I thought Stanton had a decent arm from what I read. In any case, I'm keeping Floyd in over Benjamin in one league and over Cooks in another. Week 2 too early to start screwing with my lineups.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I swapped in Benjamin for Floyd.

That's my decision. Just not sure what to do yet.

I just made this call in one league. Thinking about Bowe over Floyd in the other league.

Also put in K Benjamin for Floyd. Read that as you like...last minute swap outs always seem to come back and bite me in the rear.

 

[Interseptopus]

Ok f it, I'm going with Floyd. I dont have better options.

 

[mrbigg]

OFC Floyd immediately makes me regret my decision to bench him on the first snap. I'm sorry baby

 

[Bucky86]

Benched Floyd.
