What player should I start?
« on: Sep 4th, 2003, 4:57pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
A little background about the league. 14 person, 1 player keeper league. 6pts for every touchdown, 1 pt for every yard receiving or rushing.
 
I am starting the following:
QB - Matt Hasselbeck
RB - Travis Henry
RB - William Green
WR - Hines Ward
WR - Isaac Bruce
K - David Akers
Def & Sp. teams - Carolina
 
I need one more starter and it can be a rb, wr, or te. The players I have left are Robert Ferguson, Tai Streets, Bobby Shaw WR's, and TJ Duckett RB. Who should I start?

T. J. Duckett -
Bobby Shaw -

I agree, Streets (especially vs. Chicago) is the safe call, but Ferguson has more upside.  The problem with Ferguson is that he needs to show he can play consistently, but he is the new #2 in Green Bay.

I would start Streets, but barely over Ferguson. I really like Fergie to produce this year,and the VIkes seconday isn't their strong point on defense. Kepp an eye on his production in the first few weeks.

I agree that Streets is probably the SAFE bet.
 
But it is opening day and favre wants to quiet the critics so he will pass often.  Take a chance he is your extra use Ferguson.

I'd go with Ferguson.  After watching Favre for many years, I'd never discount his #2.
 
If you like to break it down as to importance to the team, Streets is probably the #4.5 option on the team behind Owens, Barlow, hearst, and Garcia running.  For the Packers, Ferguson is probably the #3 or #4 behind Green, Driver, and maybe the TE of the moment.
 
I think they're close and I'd lean towards Ferguson, but Streets isn't bad either.  He should be good for 60 yards.

Duckett's in an RBBC (committee position).  And by the way, the Falcons have the toughest schedule against the run this year.  Maybe he'll get the ball, maybe he won't.  Shaw is number three behind Moulds and Reed & not much value short of big changes.  If it were my team, I'd drop him and pick up a good sleeper to play around with in that slot.  Maybe Thomas Jones if he's available, or someone else who may show up after injuries.  Streets plays Chicago, but he has a groin injury.   He is playing, but he's certainly not the go-to guy.  The Bears have weak corners and not much of a pass rush.  They are talking about the vertical game in SF this year, and Owens may be covered.  They could even sit Owens if the game looks like it's in the bag.  Why risk Owens for no reason.
Ferguson is playing a not-so-hot Minnesota D with banged up corners.  If Driver is covered, Ferguson gets more.  
If I were you, I'd play Ferguson.
It's your call.  Ferguson or Streets.

Walls' hammy problem looks like he has problems tomorrow.  More reason to go with Ferguson.

Also, Darren Sharper (S) is gametime decision.  If he's not up to it, that helps Moss.  GB has to play for points.  More reason to go with Ferguson.

I have Harrison and Owens across the board this week.  Week One can be like that.  Sorry to tubuku, I'd have done it.
