Pick-up Benson and ax Williams.

Then I would start Portis and Benson.

How on earth did Cedrick Benson not get drafted in your league? Drop Ricky and pick him up immediately. He's one of 7 RBs this year that isn't sharing carries and he has a great match up against Denver.

I'm having some trouble deciding between Chris Johnson @ Pitt, Grant vs Chi and Kevin Smith @ NO. I can start from 0 to 2 RBs and 3 to 5 WRs. Wideouts are Colston, Jennings, Mason, Moore, Tony Gonzalez and Witten.

Right now I have Grant, Smith, Colston, Jennings and Moore in the starting lineup.

Any suggestions?

Why not start Witten?

Traditionally the Bucs are good at defending TEs. We'll see how that plays out as the year progresses with a new defensive scheme.

And I'm expecting NO to throw 50 times vs Det. Even if Brees goes 30 for 50 that is a lot of completions and yards. This is especially true if Thomas is out.

I'm not sure I will have the opportunity to change my lineup before Sunday's games so I'll have to make my final decision by tomorrow night. I did not start Johnson though I'm glad he is looking good vs Pitt.

I dont have Santonio Holmes on my team, can I start him anyway? Hes doing good tonight.

RB help

So I play in an 8 team league with some guys I went to school with. I ended up with 4 stud running backs and need help with who to start.

DeAngelo Williams
Michael Turner
Reggie Bush
Ronnie Brown

Right now I have Williams and Bush starting...but I'm torn between having Willimas and Turner starting. Thanks for any insight :up:

Is it PPR? If not I wouldn't touch Bush.

I'd start Williams and Turner to start the season.

yes, we get points for return yardage. 1 per 20 I think. The thing that's killing me is Bush is playing Detroit, so I expect them to run a lot, and I'm not sold on Turner putting out big numbers against our D...

Reggie Bush = not a stud RB. Gotta start Turner. Can't play with you heart in fantasy football if you want to win. Just start him and hope he gets you 0 points. At least you're creating a win win situation for yourself. And if you're hellbent on not starting Turner, I'd start Ronnie over Reggie Bush. But that's just me.

thanks guys, Turner goes in. But if Bush goes off on Detroit I'm coming back in here :tantrum: :up:

Is it worth starting Brandon Marshall this week vs Cincinnati? I'm debating him vs Donald Driver against the bears. I mean Marshall has alot of talent but replacing Cutler with Orton I'm not so sure on the numbers that he'll put up.
Another person I could use is Julius Jones vs St Louis since its a flex spot. I think he'll get more touches than James will and St Louis didn't have the best run D last year.

Should I pick up any of these players?

Percy Harvin
Muhsin Muhammad
Leon Washington
Donald Brown
Michael Jenkins
Le'Ron McClain
Fred Jackson

I have Ray Rice, Kevin Walter, Matt Cassel, Pierre Thomas, and Domenik Hixon available to drop. (others are solid backups or starters)

I would drop Hixon for Donald Brown but this is without knowing who else you have.

wow, my backs had a sucky week. With the help from this thread I was able to put in Turner who sucked a little less that Bush. Thanks help thread! :up:

Alright, I'm looking for some insight and/or advice.
1. Patrick Crayton or TJ Houshmanzadah this week? Crayton did great this week. Next game is their home opener against NYG.
2. (Assuming McNabb plays) McNabb or Matt Schaub this week?
Thanks for asst.

Don't see how you could sit Housh.

McNabb is going to be beat up and any hit could end the game for him. Shaub, I have 0 faith in against the Titans. I own both of these guys too and I'm hoping to scoop Campbell off the wire to start against Det.

Here's a question... how much longer till Leinart gets the starting nod over Warner?

Here's what's got me stumped this week -

Cedrick Benson @ Green Bay

or

Lendale White vs. Houston

or

Ahmad Bradshaw @ Dallas.

Both Lendale and Ahmad have better matchups than Cedrick, but are splitting carries. Cedrick will probably get 25 touches as compared to the 12 or 13 Lendale or Ahmad will get, but will he be able to move the ball or score on Green Bay?

I like Bradshaw. Esp in PPR.

Benson goes as Palmer does and their OL looks pretty bad. GB should be able to shut them down.

Anytime you start Lendale your really just hoping for a TD. If not, your prob screwed.

Not a PPR league, but if it were I would probably stick with Benson as he would most likely have more catches. He had quite a few receptions last week, and I expect the Bengals to be down early this game and I'm thinking he'll get a few passes thrown his way this week as well.

But Bradshaw is still an intriguing option. Looks like it's going to be almost an even split between him and Jacobs and Cadillac and Ward both racked up over 50 yards and a score each last week against Dallas.

I think Bradshaw could have a nice game. I could see NY taking the lead fast and not looking back.

Pick a WR for this week:

Antonio Bryant
Devin Hester
Jerrico Cotchery

Cotchery
Hester

Bryant(might be out)
