Hung up on who to start here and it's killing me. Your opinions are appreciated.
ETA: Or Eddie Royal

This is a tough one, but I'd probably go with Royal. I doubt any have a huge game though

This is a tough spot to be in in week 1. Looks like your didn't do too hot in the draft. I might cross my fingers on Nelson hoping it's a shoot out and he catches a few passes, but it's really a roll of the dice with any of these 3.

very tough decision there. you must play in a deep league.
i would go with royal as well. he is playing the slot role heavy as usual and i feel they will depend on him moreso than decker, also, its primetime game. whenever i have a tough decision, that is one of the ways i help settle it if applicable.

spiller - maybe sees 8-10 touches at best(40 total yards)
nelson - hit or miss. i like his value this year, but would like to see how (and how often) they utilize him.
i also would start whichever player i feel will get the most snaps, and in this case it is def royal. good luck bro and thanks for answering mine.

12 person league. This is what my team looks like:
QB: Rodgers
RB: DeAngelo
RB: Ryan Matthews
RB/WR: Hightower
RB/WR: Nelson (leaning towards him because Jones and Driver are hurt)
WR: Roddy
WR: Mike Williams (TB)
TE: Finley
D: Ravens
K: Kasay

Bench
Spiller
Ridley
Zach Miller
Orton
Cadillac
Titus Young
Berrian

HATE your RBs, but that's why I never take a QB first. Though I do like Hightower the other two are wildly unpredictable.

Upon more thought I agree with the previous guy who said take that guy you think will get the most snaps, but I'd still lean to Nelson with Driver banged up and he has a much better offense and QB.

As do I. I had no better option with picking them or Rodgers. Hopefully Matthews picks up right where he left off last season and D-low can get back to his old ways. I don't think he got that contract for no reason. And I have high hopes for Hightower. No pun intended.
