*** Official Fantasy Football Start\'em/Sit\'em Thread: OCTOBER ***
 

Well, I had a question and we've needed to start a new thread on this, so I'm going to kick October off. I need to pick 2 RB's. I just grabbed Ward off of waivers.

Larry Johnson
Cedric Benson
Derrick Ward
Deangelo Williams
Ernest Graham

Yahoo recommends starting Ward over Benson. I wasn't originally going to, but now I'm contemplating it.

Need to sit one of these 4 WRs (pt = 20 yds, 6 for td)

Impossible to do right now. This heavily depends on who is healthy and playing, which is probably gonna be impossible to decide before tomorrow or Sat. If Jacobs is healthy and going to get 50% of the carries go with him, otherwise go with Ward. Maroney will probably be a gametime decision again

Wow, I'm getting Ernest Graham votes too...I think I'm against him due to A) Indy and B) not 100% sure how he and Pittman will share time.

Re: *** Official Fantasy Football Start\'em/Sit\'em Thread: OCTOBER ***
 

Maroney if he's healthy.

I think we should do 1 of these topics each week. It's makes alot more sense given how important matchups are in these decisions. Also, this way you can just skim the topic and it should answer alot of questions for you.

Would dropping Jeff Wilkins and picking up Gostkowski be premature? Wilkins has been really [censored] so far, and while Gostkowski doesn't get a lot of FGAs, he makes the ones he gets and gets a lot of PATs.

Gastkowski is averaging 2.5 more points per week in my league. So A) he's scoring more points but B) the difference really is neglible week to week. With that little a difference, pick the one you think has the better matchup.

I just looked at last season's Yahoo points total. The difference between kicker #1 an #12 last season was 2.06 points/game. #1 to #24 was 3.18 points. Pretty much shows you how little one kicker is worth over another during the year. Kicker is a great position to play matchups with FA's. If done right, you'll get more points out of multiple kickers than the #1 kicker will score all year.

Time to use one post to settle all my choices
