Week 2 Matchup Options

eamjr10 · 2010-09-16T09:15:30-07:00

OK so I have a few matchups that I am back and forth on, I'm getting to the point where I feel like I'm overthinking them. I have a few different options this week, Im pretty set where I am but I wouldn't mind a few helpful suggestions. First off I am in a Standard Scoring League, No PPR, Points Only I am currently in 4th place with 80.2 points. BOLD is who I have starting as of Today QB Tom Brady @ NJY or QB Michael Vick @ Det RB Steven Jackson @ OAK or Jamaal Charles @ CLE Matt Forte @ DAL WR Calvin Johnson vs PHI WR Steve Smith NYG @ IND WR Anquan Boldin @ CIN or WR Michael Crabtree vs NO WR Legadu Naanee vs. JAC D/ST New England @ NYJ or Carolina @ TB San Diego vs. Jac[/b]

I definitely like Jamaal Charles starting against Cleveland, I would have my two starting RB's be Jackson and Charles

Your QB matchups are actually very interesting... but I'd stick with Brady. I have found the best answer to a tricky fantasy question is to go with the proven players. Last week I played J. Knox over Ochocinco because of their matchups

Thanks for the reply, I know what you mean about thinking too much about matchups, I feel more comfortable with Brady but its hard to ignore all they Vick Hype.

As far as my RBs go, I didn't list Chris Johnson who is my number 1, I'm trying to find the best option for 2. Charles against that Cleveland D does sound intriguing and promising, but is it enough to bench Jackson against Oakland?

lol thanks, now if I can only get the right starters in on the right weeks. It was hard watching Forte get 30 points on my bench.
