who do i start??

[AldoWeldon]

I have a tough decision this week. ppr league

1. do i start Brandon Lafell over Steve Smith? Smith was obviously hurting last game, and Lafell was targeted a lot more.

2. if Bradshaw doesn't play, do i start Andre Brown over Stevan Ridley?

3. whoever is left out between Smith/Lafell/Brown/Ridley can be started in my flex spot. BUT, I like having Decker in my flex spot.

so: who would you play this week?? I also have Hakeem Nicks, so I'm a little worried about having a Giants WR, RB, and 2 Carolina WRs in my lineup. although it could very likely be a shootout.

ideally, i want to start one of the Carolina WRs, and then the main choice will be picking 2 out of Decker, Ridley, Brown.

Thoughts?

Whatever I say... do the opposite.
Actually, might be better if I just keep my nose out of these threads.
Oh... I can't help it...

1. I like Lafell for the targets. With younger QBs, they probably don't read a full defense at the line like a Peyton Manning. There's a little more pre-programming in their head "I'm looking at this guy first, then this guy, then I'm running." (That's just my own assumption, maybe a bad one...)

2. I like Andre Brown if Bradshaw doesn't play. New England is AT Baltimore. Yuck.

3. Flex: Steve Smith. Mostly by reasoning that I don't like Ridley against BAL.

If it was me, I would start:

Lafell at WR(PPR)

Brown over Ridley(if Bradshaw is out)

Start Nicks if his foot isn't an issue come Thursday..

1. Start Smith.

2. Brown over Ridley

3. LeFell is your best option. Car will be THROWING. Having both WRs is a good thing this week and a better alternative than your other players.

Thanks. This was my thinking too. Going with that. On Sunday, I will be deciding between Decker/Ridley in my flex. Since Nicks went down, Lafell is no longer a flex play and him and Smith are my WR1/WR2.

What do you think? Ridley over Decker? I am leaning towards Ridley... Houston is so stingy against the pass, and Decker has been eh so far.

Weird to say this, but Baltimore has struggled against the run (averaging 100yds and a TD allowed each game) and Brady has been bad against them the last few times they played. I have a feeling Ridley could get some decent action. But, knowing Brady, he could easily take the team on his shoulders and pass for 400 yards.
