Fantasy Football Case Study - Week 1

I meant to get this up a little earlier but we've been exceptionally busy and FantasyDraftEdge.com

Here's a look at week 1 starting decisions....

Roethlisberger, Ben QB PIT @CLEV
or
Delhomme, Jake QB CAR @STL

Went with Big Ben based on a less than stellar Cleveland defense. Was tempted to go with Delhomme but want to see the Panthers at least once first. I'm not sold on the Rams D being better - but they might be, I don't think the Browns D is better.

Started
Henry, Travis RB DEN @BUF
Johnson, Rudi RB CIN BAL

Left on bench
Dunn, Warrick RB ATL @MIN
Lynch, Marshawn RB BUF DEN

Just too many question marks about the two guys who I kept on the bench. I'm very optimistic about Lynch but Denver is solid on D so I'll give Lynch some time to show me something. Dunn is coming off an injury and although he's expected to play I'll want to wait and see on him.
Henry and Johnson were my top 2 picks (11th and 14th overall) - it would be tough not to go with them to start the season.

Started
Colston, Marques WR NO @IND
Edwards, Braylon WR CLE PIT
Jackson, Darrell WR SF ARI

Kept on the bench
Bennett, Drew WR STL CAR
Hackett, D.J. WR SEA TB
Jarrett, Dwayne WR CAR

I've got some talent at WR but the three guys on the bench will need to prove their role in the offense before they break my starting lineup. The starters are all well established guys.

I only have one of each so it's real easy....
Mare, Olindo K NO @IND
Panthers, DST DST CAR @STL


I'll be back next week with - hopefully off a win!
