Who to start with Dallas going tonight (1 Viewer)

[BigRedNole]

It was an unplanned strategy at Draft Night, but it is paying off huge this year. This is the first week there is a question at who to start. QB and RB is where I have the toss up. This is a very old school league going back to the 80s where you had to get the Tuesday paper to manually do the scoring. This a TD league only. All TDs are 6 points, FGs 3, XPs 1, Safeties and Conversions 2. I took Zeke with my first pick and took a flyer on Dak late. 

QBs (start 1): Dak Prescott, Derek Carr, Carson Palmer

RBs (Start 2): Lagerette Blount, Lesean McCoy, Ezekiel Elliot

With Dallas in Minnesota tonight, it is a tough call. The Vikes D is good. However, they have not faced an offense that is as pounding as Dallas. This could limit points from Dak/Zeke/Bailey (I have Bailey as the PK too). If the Vikes is that good, this could wind up being a low scoring affair. On the other side, Raiders and Bills play with horrible D's. Carr is going to sling it all over the field. McCoy is going to go off on the Raiders D. This game could wind up being a high scoring game.

Right now, I am going with...

Carr, Blount, and McCoy.

What are your thoughts?

I would go with prescott,elliot and mccoy. vikings d somewhat banged up and I think mccoy should find running room against raiders d.

Id start Carr over Dak

 

[TheBottomLine]

Carr and Zeke for sure, then I'd probably go with Blount in TD-only league.  

 

[TheKillerBrees]

I would stick with Carr but you have to play Elliot. HAVE TO lol.

and yea, I would lean Blount for the other RB

Even with the TD only scoring, I'd still sit Blount. McCoy is on fire(when healthy) and Elliott can never be benched.

At QB, I'd go Carr.  Buffalo's defense isn't as good as its reputation, and I expect that to be a high scoring game in general.
