Help with this week's lineup?

What's up Huddle?

Would anyone like to help me set my lineup for this week? I’ll be honest, I have an uncanny ability to make the wrong choice when it comes to picking toss ups.

I am in a standard scoring 10 team league. Below is what I am leaning towards, but feel free to offer any suggestions.

QB – Ben Roethlisberger

WR – Julio Jones

WR – Allen Robinson

RB – Jordan Howard

RB – Carlos Hyde (Tough matchup against Buff, which happens to be my defense.)

Flex – Doug Baldwin or Crabtree or Jamaal Charles

TE – Zach Miller

K – Justin Tucker

Def - Buffalo

 

BN – Will Fuller (WR)

BN – Tyrell Williams (WR)

BN – Michael Crabtree (WR)

BN – Kyle Rudolph (TE) Bye Week

BN – Jamaal Charles

BN – Carson Wentz

You've got some really nice match-ups this week. Big Ben, Jordan Howard, and ARob are must starts. If it were me, I'm leaving Hyde in at RB and also taking a chance on Charles in the flex. Even though SF is projected for one of the lowest point totals of the week, you can pretty much guarantee Hyde gets 15-20 touches. They will be wanting to take the pressure off of Kaep in his first start of the year. Chiefs have been saying Charles is ready for a full workload all week long. I would not ignore that chatter against the Oakland D.

As hard as it is to bench your first round pick, I think it's a play you have to make this week. I would start Crabtree over Julio. While Julio may have a higher ceiling, Crabtree has a much higher floor. Falcons are projected as one of the lowest point totals of the week. Vegas knows how good that Seattle D is at home. When one of the highest scoring offenses in the league so far is projected almost at the bottom for the week... Something is not right. I'm staying away from Julio this week.

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
