Going to take a chance on Belichick this weekend

[Cobrabit]

I played Vincent Jackson as my WR2 and thank god I had Julio Jones as my WR1 (note to future self, VJAX will not start until he has a few weeks of production - read as a QB that is worth a damn).

Have Forte and L. Bell slotted for my RB 1&2, so now I'm looking for my flex spot in a half PPR. Choices boil down to Maclin, Garçon, Khiry Robinson and Stevan Ridley. While Belichick always screws over fantasy owners with his RB flavor of the week, I'm going to go with Ridley this week. With his performance last week and a matchup that he should thrive in with an expected huge lead in the 2nd half, I feel that Ridley will put up some good numbers.


Okay, time to talk me out of it......probably won't be hard!

 

[TKOSpikes]

I kind of agree with your thought process on Ridley, but I'm not starting him with those alternatives. One could argue Ridley and Robinson have identical attributes and roles. Garcon should be good in a half point ppr, but it hasn't been there yet. Luckily, you have Maclin here and that is who I'd roll with by a landslide.

Your screen name implies that you've played Patriots RBs before....

With Maclin or Garçon as options, I'd definitely go with one of the two. Probably Garçon if DeSean is out. Cousins has to throw to somebody.

I 2nd the vote for Maclin here - the top WR eats in Chip Kelly's offense, and Mac was pretty much to only WR Foles would throw deep balls to last week.

Also - Philly CBs bottled up Wayne/Hilton pretty well last week. Luck was dinking and dunking all night.

And it will probably be Paul or the 3rd and 4th string WR. I thought Garçon would have had plenty of touches last week when Jackson went down, but pretty much got nothing.

I can see Maclin as the flex and was my WR2 until I idiotically put in VJax on Thursday (at least he got the TD). I'll probably bounce between him and Ridley until game time.

My "problem" is that I've got some good options to pick between, but with my luck, I seem to leave the stud on the bench.

 

[TREFF]

Maclin easily for me. For all we know Brandin Boldin could get all the scores this week.. or James White, or he'll even James Develin. . Just piss everyone off

 

[SoShady]

Another vote for Maclin. If not Maclin Garcon would would be my second choice.

I'm starting Maclin at Flex. Probably even over Montee Ball.

Cousins likes going to his TE, so I don't see a lot of potential in Garcon.

In fact, Niles Paul has led the team in receptions both weeks so far.

I'm starting Niles without hesitation this week. Washington loves going to the TE.

I missed out on Niles still starting Witten with Reed out fail....

I get the logic behind it, but I'm sincerely hoping Ball makes you regret it

Well, I'm waiting to see if Charles is going to be out or limited this week to decide between Ball and Charles.

I've got quite a situation here actually. I have Ball, Charles, Ellington, and Maclin to spread out between 2 RB's and a Flex, and I need to decide who to sit. It's gonna be a tough one.

 

[The Foot]

Garcon if not then go with Maclin.

 

[Cobrabit]

Glad I did switch out Ridley for Maclin. Too bad I didn't have Garçon in for VJax. Regardless, I'm still winning this week and will most likely out up the highest point total with Forte, Le'Veon, Olsen, and the Bear defense still to play.

 

[SoShady]

Yup Garcon looks like he will be fine. Though the horrible Eagles defense sure does help. Maclin and Garcon should be playing over Ridley every week. Can't trust the hoodie when you got options like that.

 

[Cobrabit]

Ridley will probably only be used as a bye week fill in for Forte and Le'Veon from here on out. I know my WR1 will be Julio Jones and then Maclin, Garçon and VJax can battle it out for WR2 and W/R with Khiry, Justin Hunter and Jerick McKinnon stashed in case of injury.

Cousins is looking to be a nice add as well (at least an upgrade over RGIII even when healthy).
