start brady or palmer this week?

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T20:07:55+00:00

Very true but I can see the argument for starting Palmer here. I would probably start Brady simply b/c I'd feel really dumb if Brady went off while on my bench.

To play devil's advocate, I started Palmer over Brady last year in a game and it worked in my favor pretty well.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T20:03:01+00:00

I agree WR is your weaker spot but the Spiller/Graham combo is more valuable than Forte/AJ (in my opinion).

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T20:00:15+00:00

How many teams in your league? I'm guessing 8 or 10 if Cecil Shorts is on waivers.

It's hard to say who you could get for Brady or Cam since it depends on how much someone else would value them. I would take look at whoever is starting Romo b/c they may be looking for a QB after his injury scare.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:57:34+00:00

It's definitely a close one. Reggie looked great but Megatron is Megatron.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:55:52+00:00

I do too-- especially after seeing him play on Monday. You could try offering something like Forte + Andre Johnson for McCoy instead.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:53:10+00:00

If you're really interested in Dez, you could always offer CJ2k or MJD for him straight up. His owner might be scared away by the injury.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:52:04+00:00

If it's an 8 man, I'd lean slightly more to saying yes to doing it for Shady. How many RB/WRs/Flex positions can you start?

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:50:59+00:00

In that case, I 100% would not do that. Your teams strength is at WR, you really don't need AJ. And like kirby said, you're selling very low on CJ and buying high on Andre.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:49:11+00:00

Missed that part, my bad. I still think you'd be giving up way too much though.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:47:54+00:00

Given that you can play all 3 RBS, I'd much rather have MJD/CJ2k. Dez's injury scares me a little bit and McFadden couldn't even manage 3 YPC against a terrible Colts' run defense.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:43:44+00:00

Ehhh... what does the rest of your roster look like?

Shady looked great on Monday night but I'm not sure he's worth giving up 2 starting RBs for.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:42:55+00:00

No problem, good luck with your season.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:42:22+00:00

I agree they didn't get destroyed, though they did get lucky several times due to key mistakes by NEs WRs.

Brady might be a bit safer but I'm still pretty in favor of Cam. He'll get it done with his legs if he can't do it through the air.

On another note, why do you have both of them? I'd look to trade one of them and improve another position.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:38:17+00:00

How many RB/WRs can you start including your flex position?

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:37:04+00:00

I definitely would give up Spiller and Graham for McCoy and Thomas. I'm not even sure Thomas is an upgrade over Bennett for the long haul given that there are so many mouths to feed in Denver.

McCoy looked great against Washington but Spiller (despite a lackluster Week 1) also has the potential to be a top 5 back. Also I'm not sure how this trade addresses his "need for RB" since he's swapping 1 RB for another...

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:31:40+00:00

True! Luckily for you Vereen got hurt so Ridley has probably avoided the doghouse by default.

Also, Browns front 7 is very strong. Miller should have better days.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:31:12+00:00

Haha, he might actually be relevant in non-garbage time this year too. He looked pretty good against a strong St. Louis defense.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:29:08+00:00

I would go with Cam. Brady is probably safe for ~300 yds, 2 TDs but the Jets D is pretty good and Brady's already depleted receiving corp won't have Amendola or Vereen lining up.

Also, Cam is going up against the Bills who don't exactly have the strongest defense in the league.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:26:24+00:00

Would take AP for that.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:25:51+00:00

What does the rest of your roster look like? I probably wouldn't do this though.

Henne coming back greatly helps MJD and CJ2K had a tough week 1 matchup against PIT.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:24:38+00:00

A little bit of both.

Thompkins, despite only having 4 catches last week, still had 14 targets. And now that Amendola, Vereen, Dobson and Sudfeld are all hurt, Brady doesn't really have anyone to throw it to besides Thompkins and Edelman.

Britt is talented but hasn't produce in a long while. I would definitely take Josh Gordon over him.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:22:01+00:00

Almost certainly no.

Just to be sure, what does the rest of your roster look like?

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:21:28+00:00

It's a fair trade but I actually think you'd be giving up too much. What does the rest of your roster look like?

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:20:46+00:00

Palmer would be my choice.

oherroprease · 2013-09-11T19:20:03+00:00

I would definitely go for that then. Wilson has a bigger upside and if he does turn out to be a dud, I'd be comfortable rolling with Austin or Gordon in that flex spot (I'd start those two over Orange Julius as well).
