Week 1 advice
Week 1 is finally here and most of you are scrambling to decide whom to start for the week. For the most part, go with your best players this week. The only reason you should look at the matchups is if you have two players of similar value.
For example, Joe Flacco has a tough matchup this week against a good Jets defense. Most people will be quick to bench him. It depends on your alternative. If you have Derek Anderson as a backup and think he’s the better choice because of a matchup against the Rams, I’d go with Flacco. I’d do the same thing even if Chad Henne were your backup. If Matthew Stafford is your other option, I’d go with Stafford, who I think could be a Top 10 quarterback by the end of the season.
Another piece of advice is to stay away from players hindered by injuries. I’m not playing Knowshon Moreno this week even though he practiced all week. It’s too risky. Same with Michael Bush, Fred Jackson, and Chris Wells. I’d start Wes Welker depending on your options. I am playing him in one league. He wasn’t on the injury report, but I would like to see him play a full game first.
