Week 01 2023 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (2 Viewers)

[Chaka]

Giddy up!

This is where we ask questions and offer help.

Thank you to all the posters who come here to offer that help.

A couple notes:

I attempt to give well considered responses to all questions posted. I can't get to everything, but I'll try.

1) This only works if people participate. If you ask for help it is good form to offer help to someone else.

2) It helps if you post the matchup. e.g. Cousins vs Den or James Cook @ Mia

3) Please post important league scoring considerations (e.g. PPR, super-flex etc).

4) Please go easy on the nicknames, save that for other threads. We can't help if we don't know who you are talking about.

View this as an exercise to help focus your thoughts about teams in general. Players you own may not be involved in these WDIS questions but certainly you will own players on many of these teams. Analyzing other players will help you identify things you may have otherwise not considered.

Let's kick off Week 01!!

 

[Chaka]

I always post results of my head-2-head choices for the previous week and keep a season long tally. I compare those results to the results if I used a coin toss instead.

I don't keep a tally when asked to choose between more than two players because I'm not sure how to score it and don't want to get into fractions to keep the tally.

Last Week I went 0-0-0 so did the coin toss

Last season I was 476-406-47 & the coin toss went 419-463-47

 

[Chaka]

I'll start.

Already playing the matchup game in my 12 team, super-flex, PPR

QB2:
A.Richardson v Jacksonville
Sam Howell v Arizona

FLEX:
J.Dotson v Arizona
Swift @ New England
C.Sutton v Las Vegas

 

[LionOfGosforth]

Thanks so much for doing this again Chaka, best of luck for the season ahead!

Week 1, ordinarily wouldn't have any questions but I managed to draft Kupp earlier on the same day he had his setback. So I really only have 1 question at flex, assuming Kupp doesn't make it for week 1 which is looking likely. Standard scoring, need 1 from the following list:

Brandon Aiyuk @ Steelers
D.Swift @ Patriots
D.London vs Panthers
Jamaal Williams vs Titans
S.Perine vs Raiders

Thanks!

Not massively familiar with the format and with a couple of these players, it'd be nice to see them in a real game before making an assessment. I like Richardson to be decent and do a fair bit of running so i'd go with him over Howell. On the FLEX, I want to say Sutton but Wilson was horrible last year and I need to see him in action before trusting anything he does.

So with that said, I lean Dotson over Swift. The Philly offense is a bit of a mystery with how they will utilize the RBs. I have Swift and am reasonably excited for his prospects but I think Dotson has an established role already and big upside this year.

Fade the first start for a rookie QB and Dotson is the #1 target with McLaurin hobbled in a plum matchup.

I agree with others on Howell and Dotson. Dotson is a pretty easy choice with Terry out or at least hobbled. Richardson might be nice to unleash in his debut, but would be concerned that a strong Jags D will make life a bit difficult for the kid. While the rushing floor is there, Howell can also provide a decent rushing floor as well.

Thanks!

You are well aware that we know nothing about anything ATM. Week one is characteristically the week where the weird outcomes occur like New Orleans 38 - Green Bay 3.

So you really need to go with your gut in this one.

IMO I think London is probably most locked into his opportunities. No matter what happens he is going to see targets. I also think he is a better talent than the others with the possible exception of Swift.

I like Aiyuk somewhat but hate the matchup. I think this could be a hard hitting game and points may be difficult to come by. Throw in that Aiyuk is maybe fourth in the pecking order and I'll pass.

Jamaal is not a particularly good RB and he isn't in Detroit anymore. But he's at home and I'm not sure there is anyone else to handle working the backfield. He's a fine option but heavily TD dependent IMO.

Both the Denver & Philadelphia backfields seem to have a lot of questions marks. I am not really a fan of Perine's talent but he should still be in line for a minimum of 12 opportunities. For all we know Javonte really isn't ready and Perine will get 20+ but Javonte sure looked ready to be on the field even if he isn't his old self.

Swift-Swift-oh-what if. We all think this kid has talent and we all know he has very rarely put it together. The backfield is unclear but reports are he is the starter. Swift with 15 opportunities can do a lot of damage, particularly in this offense. He's at New England which probably isn't great but the Eagles are stacked and should be playing with the lead a lot.

London>Swift>Jamaal>Perine>Aiyuk

@LionOfGosforth ETA here is I am waffling on Swift. People in his thread are getting in my head a little bit. I think I would drop him below Perine now. It seems there may be enough uncertainty that I want to protect against a 7 touch game or something like that.

 

[efactor]

Full PPR. Taylor out:

Conner vs a tough Commanders D on the road with a crappy QB or McKinnon vs the Lions?

I'm taking McKinnon without hesitation ATM.

Connor is a much better player than I ever give him credit for but with the obvious tank job the front office is pulling I need to see if this Arizona team has any fight in it at all. No matter how big your motor is it's gotta be incredibly difficult to be fully committed when your F.O. is literally trying to make you lose.

McKinnon>>Conner

Agree with both you guys on this... my only hesitation for week 1 was due to Jacobs' holdout. Figured Mixon might be the safer play over Jacobs week 1. But I typically stick with the chalk play.

I added my QB's after you guys replied, sorry... no worries but figured while we are at it, I should get your on the QB decision as well.

Thanks

Thanks bros.

I like Purdy a lot but I hate opening at Pittsburgh. That defense looks strong and that team looked game ready all preseason. It's probably a mistake to discount Purdy at this point but...I am.

Wilson & Howell are unknowns at this point so you should probably start the one you drafted first. But I am not married to that logic.

The Raiders may be stronger on defense than we think and Arizona looks epically bad.

I don't like choosing such an unknown but I think I might go with Howell in the better matchup.

It shouldn't be this close but I think I want to see Wilson prove he's back before I roll him out.

Howell>Wilson>Purdy

 

[massraider]

I would stack Howell and Dotson vs Arizona.

me too.

This is going to be a tough call for you most weeks but I think I roll Tua comfortably in week 1. Great offense against a great offense with probably not much defense to be found.

Tua>Jones

For your flex...uh...Moore??? I don't see much coming from any of these guys so I'd go with the guy with Mahomes throwing the ball behind him.

Moore>LaPorta/Thielen

This is the same team, and I could go 2 RB/4WR, but you see what a pain in the nuts this roster is? (by the way, my QB decision all year long here is Lamar vs Jalen)

 

[Chaka]

12-team, 0.5 PPR, 6 pts for passing TD's

QB (start 1)
Daniel Jones (vs DAL)
Matthew Stafford (@ SEA)
Jordan Love (@ CHI)

I sit Stafford until I see if the Rams have any juice at all. With Kupp likely out doubly so.

I see why this is a problem as Love could turn out to be pretty good and it looks like a nice matchup on paper. He is probably your upside play this week but I am not sure what his floor is. I think it's safe but I can't be sure.

I don't think Jones has the ability to be the next Josh Allen but he could certainly be a poor man's version. Daboll seems like he is a legit QB whisperer and I think Jones skill set protects him from being a total flop any given week. I think Waller is going to be a big time addition and Jones' safety net. I don't see a big upside this week but I think he should have a safe floor.

It's very close for me but:
Jones>Love>>Stafford

 

[Largent]

Thanks Chaka!

Tiered PPR - flex spot need 2 of this list:

Flowers vs Texans - I have Lamar and Andrews already suited up
Skyy Moore vs Lions - top WR for KC?
Addison vs Tampa - is he the target machine that was Thielen?
Mims vs Raiders - he's the #2 for now, is it too early to play him though?

Need to decide between these two RB's OR play both and just 1 of the WR's listed above -

Swift @ Pats - what do we know at this point?
Javonte vs Raiders - is this Perrine backfield until we see otherwise?

Agree on all points. Love would have been my only consideration over Jones. But I need to see him DO IT first. And don't like the idea of him attempting to do so on the road.

Diggs, DJ, JK, Aaron Jones should be locks IMO. They are the most talented options and you drafted them as such.

I sit all Rams except Akers until I get a look at what this team is bringing to the table. I know Kupp is out, who cares?

Hopkins v Williams is a nice option IMO. Personally I think I go with Williams because he is healthy, he has the much better QB and this game could be a track meet. But nothing wrong with Hopkins who should be good as well particularly as he doesn't have much competition for targets.

M.Williams>Hopkins

Between Gibson and Javonte I think you have to go with Gibson in a game Washing should win handily. Week one is always crazy so, who knows the Cards could pull the upset. But I just don't see that happening and I think Gibson & Robinson will see a lot of opportunities. As the season goes on I think Javonte will be in your lineup but I think you can afford a wait & see approach this week.

Gibson>Javonte

All your WR options carry a lot on uncertainty. It's mostly a blind guess.

Since that is the reality I'll definitely take Mahomes guy.

For the second option I take Addison over Mims. Better QB and Addison is probably a much better talent.

The only reason not to go with Flowers is you're already pretty invested in that offense so taking a week to figure them out seems prudent.

Moore>Addison>Flowers>Mims

I'll take Swift over Javonte as I believe he is the starter and with Javonte carrying a lot of uncertainty, as do the Broncos ill bank on the better team until I see what Denver does.

Mike Williams is a consideration over Gibson for me depending on PPR or not... but if Gibson is the starting RB for the Commanders, I probably lean him.

I should have mentioned that going with 4 WRs in this situation may be the right play.

I'm with you on Robinson. And Kirk also has Ridley to deal with. Kirk will be fine on his year end numbers but I think it's going to be a game of whack-a-mole trying to decide which week Kirk, Zay & Engram will be startable.

Hearing great things about Howell
Watch ARich for at least a week and see what happens
I am not a fan of ARich...HOWEVER, the way you have him rostered and the way your rules work, I like it, he's competing for your QB2 and you have a realistic person for him to battle with for a spot on your roster, very well done.

DOTSON

Swift would be next but again would like to see what the game plan is for '23
Still not a bad option but like Dotson a lot, have him on many teams for '23

[BobbyLayne]

not a WSIS but rather a should I churn the bottom of my roster

18 x 12 full PPR league, start 3WR + Flex

my 17th round RB was Deuce Vaughn

wondering if I should drop him for Sean Tucker bc of better upside

thinking if White falters and Tucker gets a decent snap share I'll end up having to spend FAAB to get him

(our WW is barren, 69 RBs rostered - Fournette at 5% and Carter at 4% are the only two RBs with ownership above 3% on Yahoo)

OTOH maybe I should wait and see with Vaughn....it's just thinking about season long, I cannot see the little guy ever having a substantial role....whereas it's pretty easy to envision scenarios where Tucker either has a significant timeshare or even becomes the lead back

should I go for the upside or stop with the rosterbation?

I would and you laid out the exact argument for why in the Deuce Vaughn thread.

Tucker is built like an NFL RB, he is the clear #2 RB in TB and has a much clearer path to relevance.

Vaughn is fun to root for and, who knows maybe he actually is the next Sproles, but he'll have to live up to that to have any shot at relevance. Tucker doesn't.

Besides if Tucker is still on your wire, there is a good chance that no one is going to swoop in on Vaughn.

Tucker>Vaughn

 

[massraider]

I cannot see the little guy ever having a substantial role

Me neither, and Tucker is much more interesting than your average UDFA.

This is an easy call, IMO.

I’m rolling out Howell over ARich week 1 in SF at QB2. I roster both (2 different leagues) and will be starting both, respectively. But IMO Howell is a little easier to trust. I want to see ARich in game action before I start him.

I wish I had that luxury in one league.
