Week 1 Playoffs. RB and QB starting questions

[Axeman33]

Who to start between:

Matt Ryan @ Carolina
or
Eli Manning @ Miami

As far as my RB situation goes:

I own:

Matt Forte vs Washington
TJ Yeldon vs Indianapolis
Jeremy Hill vs Pittsburgh
Shaun Draughn @ Cleveland
Matt Jones @ Chicago

I have normally started Matt Ryan but he's be so damn hot and cold. Eli has the better matchup this week so do I go with him? Carolina is 7the leauge against the pass while Miami is 22nd against the pass. Miami is also 3rd against the run so that probably means Eli will be throwing more. Does this reasoning make sense to start Eli over Matt Ryan?

For RBs, I considered sitting Hill in favor of Shaun Draughn. Again, am I over-thinking this? I am confident in Yeldon and Forte as my two starters. The third RB is for my flex.

Manning and draughn for sure. I wouldn't start Ryan in either matchup against the panthers

jeremy hill is only useful when the bengals are up big and I don't see that happening against Pittsburgh

Manning over Ryan is an easy pick. Doesn't matter to me how many points NO put up on Sunday, that's a daunting Carolina defense I don't want to mess with.

For RBs, I would rank them Yeldon, Forte, Draughn, Hill, Jones...I would be tempted to give Forte and edge over Yeldon but I haven't followed CHI closely the last two weeks and Yeldon we know is the workhorse back.

I more or less second this post.

Don't start Matt Ryan, but I rank the RBs Forte Yeldon Hill Draughn Jones.

Manning and Draughn for me.

[Zorro]

E.Manning over Ryan..

Draughn for your flex is the play I would make..

[FinnishFlash]

Manning and Draughn.

Well Draughn did little to help me this week, but Hill did even less.

In hindsight, Matt Jones was the right choice but it's always easier looking after it's all said and done. I am going to lose this week due to a team full of disappointments.

My WRs: Evans, Amendola and Cooks all sucked ass.

My TE: Travis Kelce did SFA all as well.

In fact, other than the Carolina D I had in there, the only other player I had in double digits for me was Matt Forte, and he only got me 11.55 points.

I need Eli Manning to get me 37 points tonight to overtake my opponent, who's team is done for the week.

Have I mentioned how much I hate fantasy football. Ugh!!
