Fantasy Question

[patsfan579]

Hey guys, could use some help here. I have both Westbrook and Mcgahee.


Who would you start today?


Westbrook vs. pats.

Mcgahee vs. Chargers.


Thanks

I'd take westbrook because he's guaranteed to get the ball a number of times. Even though he's going up against the Pats, I think the best philosophy is to with proven point-getters and Westbrook is a much better fantasy back than McGahee in my opinion... but who knows maybe the league in which your playing has weird point schemes


(In one of my leagues a player is rewarded 1 point for every reception, so I start Westbrook regardless of what team philly plays because receivers get substantially more points than RB's based on how this league is setup)

i have a question.

How can i be 3rd in my league in overall points (maybe 2nd after tonight) scored yet have the 2nd worst record (including my loss this week)?

Westbrook. He is the best RB.
Even if he doesn't get 100 yards, he'll get 50 rushing and 50 receiving.
Westbrook is the type of back that gives our defense difficulties.
Remember Addai's performance against this D?
Yeah expect something like that, though hopefully to a lesser extent.

You had bad matchups. In a matchup league you'll get the loss if you get beat head to head, regardless of overall points.
Your scoring might also be inconsistent.
Consistent scoring is more important to fantasy success than total points.
Hard to tell for sure without seeing your roster.
