I understand the whole 'you play your #1' draft pick...but some of these comments are ridiculous....haha :)
Is FF not about best matchups? Last weekend, I did the unthinkable....I benched the Saints Defense and I picked up......the Chiefs Defense. :D Wish I would have posted a thread asking if this would be a good move....the responses would have been golden. FWIW....Chiefs D > Saint D in regards to FF points last week....thank you Mr. Flowers :)
Can't wait to hear all the back-pedaling comments some of you FF "gurus" will have if...if...McNabb throws for 400+ yards and some TDs while AR has an 'Okay' game against a divisional opponent in their house on a Monday night game. :)
I am going to start McNabb....because I give FF a bad name. :clap:

Uhhh...have you played FF before? No really? Have you played before? You make the implication that there is a a Defense that you would start week in and week out. The reality is that's almost never the best strategy. Unless you have a large number of teams/andor people are squating on multiple defenses. The most point optimizing strategy is not to play the best defense. Afterall the best defense is going to play against good offenses and get raped from time to time. What is consistent is that certain offenses suck and the best defense to play is often the D playing the worst offense, NOT the best defense overall. Streaming D's is one of the great D strategies if there are enough Ds available on the wire and you don't have enough moves that can be made each week.
In short there is no such thing as a must start D, skills players are a different story. You may ask well why isn't a skill player against a crappy D a must start. If you're on the fence on who to start it's definitely a plus but it is no certainty. A good team against a bad team will most likely pummel them. But you don't know which aspect of the good team will pummel them. Is it going to be the passing game, the running, game, the D, or some combination of the three. Consistency can be harder to predict. Generally what makes elite players elite is that they are consistent regardless of the matchups.
McNabb *might* be a good start this week, but then again he might not if Portis runs all over them instead or if the Wash D/ST scores a couple TDs not requiring him to throw that much.
You know Rodgers is going to be THE focus of the offense, especially now that grant is out. You drafted him to start him, and if McNabb is playing well that's a bonus, if he plays great then you don't think about starting him. You think about trading him for a skill player that can help you week in and week out.
