Mathieu or McClain

Postby Arkived » Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:07 am

McClain (CB from ATL) or Tyrann Mathieu for RoS? I'm leaning toward Mathieu (I wouldn't get any credit for any punt return potential, so it's based strictly as expected defensive stats).

1 tackle
0.5 assists
3 for INT
1 for FF
2 for FR
1 for TFL

I like Mathieu's big-play ability so I might lean that way - I think they may put up similar stats, but I guess Mathieu could be a better TD threat?

I think you are at a coin flip from week to week and either could be better at any time. If I was in the situation, the guy I didn't choose would be the obvious correct choice in a month, but maybe you have better luck.

I agree with the above posters that it's a 50-50 proposition each week as to which of the two players will post better numbers. These are the same odds I get when it's time to plug in a USB and I usually get that choice wrong.

I would have to agree with you guys. However, Mathieu is going to be claimed by someone with a higher priority than myself, so the decision is moot. I also agree with any random guy I do NOT pick up, or random unproductive guy that I drop ending up being very productive.

Before week 1 I was offered Amendola, Rueben Randle (who I really wanted for a year or so down the road), and Fred Davis (who was of no interest to me) for Jordy Nelson, Quinton Patton, and Jordan Cameron. I was incredibly excited about getting Jordy so late and even more excited about the steal I figured I had gotten on Cameron. In the end I convinced myself that Nelson would end up being way too inconsistent and Cameron would be good, but not great.


We all know how that's panned out.
