need help

by scottishcoltsfan on Dec 5, 2008 2:22 PM EST

right, this is only colts related at a very long stretch of the imagination. Basically, I've got a winner takes all fantasy game this weekend and i need some advice. Should I start Anthony Gonzalez over Hines Ward as my third receiver this weekend. I just don't fancy ward against dallas. Also if you fancy commenting, i need to pick 2 of 3 out of chris johnson, brian westbrook and deangelo williams, this one is hurting my head a lot.

FO says

Dallas is giving up more yards and receptions to 2nd WRs than Cinci is to 3rd WRs so I’d go Ward

They dislike Westbrook and Williams’ matchups equally so I’d go Westbrook and Johnson

You’d be dumb to start Johnson, he’s having problems with his hamstring. So, if you want to actually win, you’d start Ward, Westbrook, and Williams.

Ok I was thinking of the wrong guy. For some reason I was thinking about Jonathan Stewart. I agree with shake, start Ward, Westbrook, and Johnson.

probably just blind homerism that wanted Gonzo to come up huge this week

you just never know which Colts WR/TE is going to blow up.

you just can't guess how teams will play them

are they going to respect Marvin? Double Wayne? Put a CB on Clark? You just don’t know and each answer to those effects how the Colts start 5 do in fantasy.

I guess you have your WR answer

Gonzo sat out practice today. He’ll probably play, but that’s just throwing even more risk on starting Gonzo.

yeah

that pretty much clears it up. good point about the colts starting 5, they really are a frustrating group when it comes to fantasy. Cheers.

Colts players are horrible fantasy players. There’s too many people for Manning to chose from.

There is one guy...

Peyton’s not a half bad fantasy player…

Clark’s pretty useful. Not a complete stud like Gates used to be or Witten was last year, but on any given week he’s a chance to stand up with a TD and 70 or so yards. I drafted him as the 11th TE off the board in my league this season and he’s performed top five. And if you expect consistent performance from a TE, you’re nuts.

Wayne’s a stud too, of course.

I’m gambling on our defense this week, so fingers crossed for Freeney and Mathis to have their sights in. Sacks, fumbles and if you guys want to run in another TD, it’s be appreciated.
