Thanks for the advice guys.

I didn't want to do it but down 1-3, I can't put my faith in Stewart anymore unless DeAngelo goes down or John Fox personally guarantees both guys will see 20+ carries each.

Pu, I couldn't agree more about Felix. It's so frustrating though because Barber has declined so noticeably and yet they continue to feed him the rock.

Yeah, man. I feel the same about Felix Jones. Picked him up, figuring he'd have at least a decent year with Barber's continued decline, and well, we both have seen how that's going.

It's sad. Maybe he'll go off late in the year.

by which time most people will have given up on him and he'll either be on the bench or dropped altogether.

i drafted both jones and shonn greene in one league seriously considering dropping one for marshawn lynch. good idea and if so which one?

I would drop Jones for Lynch and I wouldn't have a problem doing so.

If you're in a 10-12-team league yes but I don't think I can afford to drop him in ATD's league.

Lynch can't be on the waiver wire if he is in a 12+ league team. On 12 team leagues, Jones is ownable though. 10 teams I would say no.

I hope you took my advice and started Terrell Owens & Eddie Royal last week. Too bad DeSean was a bust.

You need to do something with your RBs. Jackson might be the only guy that plays. I did hear that Moreno practiced today. So because of that I take the last guys standing Jackson & Moreno. McCoy will miss some games and probably McFadden as well.

Stick with DeSean and hope he has a bounce back day. Eddie Royal should get catches in the middle since we will be dialing up the blitz against them. And Harvin. Moss just running deep routes will help Harvin get the short routes while the Jets blitz. Owens as the flex.

Tony Gonzalez against the Browns.

[b]To Recap:
F Jackson & Moreno
D Jackson, E Royal, P Harvin & T Owens (flex)

[Neal Could Block the SUN!!]

Need some advice on which D to start this week (5)

Ravens D is projected for 4 points.

With the Orton aerial attack I anticipate a few sacks from Ngata and Suggs. Also I believe this is the week that we get a couple of picks via Webb and co.

Other Choice

Saints D projected for 12 points.

Saints heading into the mess that is Arizona. Super Bowl defending D but they allowed a lot of points last season. Not sure they will have the 12 point field day that is forecast.


Who would you start?

Opposing player is 3-1 and we are neck and neck at approx 130 points projected each. All other factors considered one key start could make for a W.

i'd go saints, Max Hall is starting so you are likely to see a few rookie mistakes and i don't rate the cards running game either

Saints no doubt. Playing an Anemic offense who's trotting out a rookie QB. It's a no brainer. Saints should be the top rated D going into this week.

[PuRock]

In case you haven't heard. Jay Cutler was ruled out for this Sunday. By my surprise, thought he was ready to go. That left me in a hole.

Henne is on his bye so I picked up Todd Collins (@ CAR) and Max Hall (vs. NO). So that leaves me with this question. Who do I play Todd or Max? ****** you Cutler!

[Romo Ravens]

I'm in a two QB league with Romo as my primary. Who should I start this week in that other QB slot?

Josh Freeman vs. The Bengals

Or

Matt Cassell vs. The Colts?

Freeman's been my boy this year, never letting me down, but Cincy's D is stingy. Plus the Chiefs could just run all day.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Never thought I'd ask this... but..

Eli Manning Vs. the Texans
Or
Matt Schaub Vs. the Giants

It's a tough one. But I'll go with Cassell. Manning at home will be able to move the ball on KC. Enough with the facade. KC's pass defense is decent. But Manning at home in the turf. With that being said, Cassell will have to throw the football. I'm going Cassell.

You think that's bad? I'm asking Max Hall or Todd Collins?!?

But seriously, I would have to stick with Schaub at home. He is just the better QB right now. Situation would say that at home the Texans will establish the run and get a lead on the Giants forcing Manning to throw. But I'd stick with the better player in this one.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I'd probably go with Collins there. I think he has a winning record starting games in his 12 year career. He's not Cutler, but I figure the Carolina defense will be easier to go against than the New Orleans defense (and with a rookie quarterback at that).

[RayRiceFan27]

Kenny Britt or Pierre Garcon?

Britt will be the starter thisweek with Gage out, but is facing Dallas's D

Garcon practiced this week and looks like he will be a Go and is facing KC's D. (I plan to check Garcon before game time to see if he will start or not).

Who should I start?

Kenny Britt. Garcon will have to be eased back into game shape and Collie is ready to go. I'm going Britt and hopefully he continues with his TD streak.

David Garrard @ BUF

Mike Goodson vs CHI

Kevin Kolb. Trust in the checkdowns. Buffalo will rely heavily upon the running game. I mean a lot. Plus Buffalo's pass D ain't to bad at times. Kevin Kolb with a full week's practice might finally get going here.

Yuck! I think Goodson racked up zero stats last game (okay he had 1 carry for 0 yards). You can rely on Buckhalter catching a few flats out of the backfield.

[XxSizzleXx]

Yea I know the back situation is kind of rough, I have Mendy in a bye week. I have Chester Taylor as well but they've been using him much less than I expected.

I'm trying to get Chris Ivory off the waiver wire but I'm not sure if it will go through before Sunday's game.

Atlanta Defense Against Cleveland
or
Dallas Defense against Tennessee

Chester might not be half bad this week. Depending on how Collins performs early on, there might be more of the ground game against Carolina. I'm not saying a huge ground game, but more than usual perhaps.

tough one, both teams are going to stack against the run and force the QBs to win it. i'd probably start Atlanta because i see them jumping out to an early lead forcing cleveland to abandon the run.

also you avoid the risk of CJ busting off a couple of long TD runs and skewing the stats a bit

DeAngelo Williams was on waivers for some reason so i took him instead haha. Gore, Turner, Williams and Greene will do nicely

[Jamal]

Ivory or Betts? Thomas is out, and I have no clue which of the 2 will be more productive with the split carries.
