Who to start?

SlabHurta · 12-06-2006, 04:15 PM

Couple of "who to start" questions for Week 14.

Last game before the playoffs and it is a must-win if I wanna make it.

At 2nd rb should I start:
Tiki Barber vs. Carolina or Ladell Betts vs. Philadelphia?

At 3rd wr should I start:
Antonio Bryant vs. GB or Mike Furrey vs. Minnesota?

At kicker should I start:
Martin Gramatica vs. NO or Lawrence Tynes vs. Baltimore

At Defense should I start:
Minnesota vs. Detroit or Philly vs. Washington?

Thanks for all the input.

As for RB it really depends who your first guy is. If you got LT or another big name back then you might want to take a chance with Betts. Otherwise go with the proven guy, Tiki.

my 1st rb is Westbrook.

RB 1 & 2: Westbrook is banged up and Buckhalter may spell him, I'd actually start Barber and Betts.

WR3: Furrey. Detroit is at home where Kitna does VERY well and they'll be playing from behind so they'll be throwing a ton...like they always do. Bryant can get ejected or benched at any time.

Kicker: Gotta go Gramatica. KC won't score much against BAL.

D: The Skins offense is improving every week with Campbell and Betts is going to run all over PHI. Minnesota is a great D this year for fantasy, they score a lot of TDs. Use the Vikes.

is westbrook's injury really that serious that he will lose carries to buckhalter? Westbrook has never been that great against the skins but I thought his toe injury was minor. Although I have heard Jacobs is injured so maybe Barber will get some goal line work. Betts is a definite for me that is for sure, but I still debate whether to start Barber or Westbrook now.

Kinda late for this, but Always start Westbrook. He's good for at least 100 yards combined and maybe a TD. He was the top rated Fantasy RB for most of the season, well until Marty started force feeding LT the ball.

Results:

Westbrook:
RUSHING: 17 carries for 88 yds, 0 Tds
REC: 3 for 38 yds, 0 Tds
TOTAL YDS: 126

Betts:
RUSHING: 33 carries for 171 yds, 0 Tds
REC: 2 for 14 yds, 0 Tds
TOTAL YDS: 185

Barber:
RUSHING: 20 carries for 112 yds, 0 Tds
REC: 1 for 6 yds, 0 Tds
TOTAL YDS: 118

Well, I was right about putting Betts in...but Westbrook and Barber were pretty even.
