Title: Portis... Shaun or Wm Green
Post by DOLFAN on Oct 16^th, 2003, 3:15pm

I NEVER ask for advice, but am looking for feedback. I know the "ALWAYS START YOUR STUDS" theory, but
with Shaun's injury.
Portis is a no brainer, but what do ya think about Green(OAK)over Shaun(SF) this week?
I still am leaning towards Shaun. They say he will play, but for how long?

Any thoughts?

Welll...first helpful hint. Look at Week 7 Matchups!!!

William Green is playing San Diego, NOT Oakland. And Shaun Alexander is playing Chicago.

So with that being said, I would play Shaun Alexander unless you hear more abnout him not playing. Chicagos defense sucks!!! (not that San Diego has anything to be proud of)

You are correct DD, sorry. I was looking at weeks performances and meant to write this weeks competition.
I stand corrected.

On the other hand...Alexander is currently listed as questionable. The Hawks ain't talkin'. Watch the reports for the rest of the week. This season we've seen teams rest studs in easy win games a whole lot. I'd pick Alexander as a top one or two pick this week if healthy. But they may just let him heal instead of risking further injury for the rest of the season. Few fantasy points this week for mucho points down the road.

I echo this sentiment. William Green has had a hot hand as of late and could be in for a big game against San Diego. Arguably, he might be as good of a play as Alexander this week. So, why not go with the healthier of the two?

Ditto what Steg said. Green has been money the last two weeks and he is facing a weak SD defense. Alexander is a stud, but a questionable stud this week. He practiced lightly today, but he's still hurting.

Go with the safest play - William Green.
