Week 5 fantasy sit or start

[SenorBeef]

I need to pick 1 RB out of Barber @KC, Moreno vs NE, Harrison @Buf. Half point ppr, otherwise standard scoring.

Barber seems the obvious, there'll be a lot of running against a weak KC defense, but his tweaked quad pulled him out of the second half last week. He's probably fine and has the highest upside, but a bit risky.

Moreno gets his first start vs NE (with Buckhalter out with injury, he'll get almost all the carries), and Harrison I actually expect pretty good things out of - he put up 17 or 18 points last week and the Bills have a much worse defense. I'm more concerned with them trying to work Lewis back into the offense for no good reason than what Harrison can do.

I'll try to help you guys with advice. Post your situations, including any non-standard scoring and who all your options are.

Tough call, obviously Barber if he plays, and I'd probably go with Harrison otherwise. The Pats defense is better against the run is my only reasoning.

Pick 1 WR, half point PPR:

Kevin Walter @ARI
Bernard Berrian @STL
Percy Harvin @STL

I'd go with Walter. That looks like a shoot-out game.

I need 2 RB from:

Moreno v. NE
Choice v. KC
Harrison v. Buff
Lynch v. Clev
Caddy v. Phi

I'm leaning towards Moreno and Lynch, but am tempted by Harrison who I just picked up this week. Caddy has actually been fairly productive but the Eagles are pretty tough.

I would go with Moreno and Harrison because Jamal Lewis is listed as questionable so even if he is back I think Harrison will get most of the carries where as the split between Fred Jackson and Lynch will probably be more even.

I'm having trouble deciding on the Receiver that I'm starting next to Andre Johnson. I need to choose between Santonio Holmes at Detroit or Mike Sims-Walker at Seattle. I'm leaning towards Walker but I'm not sure.

My concern here is like last week where he'll feel good enough to start the game, but not enough to finish it.

Walter, unless there are return yards, then maybe Harvin. But even then - the rams aren't going to be doing a lot of scoring and kicking off.

I would say Moreno and Harrison. Fred Jackson has been good and it's not clear how much of the workload Lynch will receive. Choice is tempting there because they may rest Barber somewhat, and they may not... Moreno is going to start and not share a workload, so he's the #1 choice. I wouldn't consider Caddy - not much running when the game is a blowout by the second quarter.

Tricky, because it's hard to sit anyone versus the Lions. But then again, with Rashard Mendenhall going crazy, there may not be many passing TDs to go around. Walker has been hot, and that game is more likely to be competitive. If I had to pick, I'd go with Walker knowing there's a good chance you will not only be wrong but embarassingly wrong.
