Atlanta's defense is good, so don't start Hass. But then again, the Saint's magic might have been used up last week.

Flip a coin???

I'd start Brooks.

Brooks, no hasslesuck too many ints.

I never draft RB's my first 2-3 rounds because they get injured alot. I am a QB/WR guy. As for the RB, it depends on the league you are in. Yahoo and CBS both do 2.

Your team roster should tell you how many RB's you need.

As for the QB's, I'd say Hasselback.

Who are your RB's?

my RBs are Shaun Alexander, Corey Dillon, Kevin Jones, Duce Staley and Reuben Droughns.

how's this starting lineup?

QB- brooks @ giants
WRs-Joe Horn @ giants, A. Boldin @ StL, Joey Porter vs. KC (or should I start Santana Moss at Dallas?)
RBs- Kevin Jones vs. Chicago, Shaun Alexander vs. Atl (or should I go Corey Dillon vs Carolina? I'm kinda questioning the Panthers' ability to stop the run now that they lost Jenkins.."
TE- Randy McMichael @ NYJets

Kicker- J. Elam vs SD

Defense: Chicago vs Detroit :brokenheart:

You're solid in all areas but QB--you need to upgrade that spot. Trade Dillon or Jones for a stud QB.

Example of some QBs that would be a fair trade for Dillon or Jones?

Try Dillon and Aaron Brooks for Culpepper or McNabb. If you can get someone to trade, you'll be set.

I bet the Oak vs. KC game is very high scoring. I'd start Porter. Moss will have double coverage, opening up other recievers.
