Who are you starting?

right now, i am starting:

QB d.bledsoe @ sf
WR n.burleson @ no
WR d.bennett @ stl
WR b.edwards @ ind
RB l.tomlinson @ nyg
RB t.jones @ cin
TE j.putzier @ kc
K j.kasay@ mia
DEF jax @ nyj

my bench looks like this:
QB m.vick @ buf
RB c.portis (bye)
RB s.jackson @ ten
RB t.duckett @ buf
RB r.williams @ car
DEF ne @ pitt

yeah, i know i am loaded at RB and crazy thin at WR. i am trying to trade s.jackson for m.muhammed (sp?). if that does not work, i will probably drop duckett for b.engram (sea).

Where to begin, where to begin????

Jesus H Christ. DO NOT trade for Muhammad. What are you thinking? Kyle Orton is throwing him the ball. He will NOT put up great numbers. Jackson is a stud, and once Martz feels secure enough, he'll run him over and over and over. That's a terrible deal.

As for your defense, TELL US HOW YOU SCORE!!!! I'm in one league that scores only on points allowed, and another that scores on turnovers as well. Some even score based on return yardage. NOBODY can give you a good recommendation without you being more specific.

You have too many RBs...you need to drop Bennett. I played him 2 weeks in a row...fool got 4 points total in 2 weeks. 131 yards in 2 weeks :|

Bennett will look like a champion against STL. I'm a Rams fan, so I know what I'm talking about.

Last week I had to play against McNabb...fvcker put up 72 points by himself!

even tho it's early, orton and muhammed look pretty decent. i'm pretty desperate for a decent consistent WR right now, and have a surplus of RBs. i had high hopes for jackson, but martz is a stubborn retard. he's like forrest gump, but without the running. as for the DEF scoring:

Sack (1)
Interception (2)
Fumble Recovery (2)
Touchdown (6)
Safety (2)
Block Kick (2)
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

ironically, the guy in second place has the second fewest points. its all about matchups.... totally luck of the draw.

WR d.bennett @ stl
WR b.edwards @ ind
RB l.tomlinson @ nyg
RB t.jones @ cin
TE j.putzier @ kc
K j.kasay@ mia
DEF jax @ nyj

my bench looks like this:
QB m.vick @ buf
RB c.portis (bye)
RB s.jackson @ ten
RB t.duckett @ buf
RB r.williams @ car
DEF ne @ pitt

yeah, i know i am loaded at RB and crazy thin at WR. i am trying to trade s.jackson for m.muhammed (sp?). if that does not work, i will probably drop duckett for b.engram (sea).

You know Burleson is Doubtful right now for this week, right?

Here's my lineup:

QB M. Bulger, STL
RB C. Perry, CIN
RB L. Tomlinson, SD
WR A. Boldin, ARI
WR K. McCardell, SD
TE R. McMichael, MIA
PK N. Kaeding, SD
Def Steelers

And my bench:

QB S. McNair, TEN
QB B. Roethlisberger, PIT
RB J. Arrington, ARI
RB T. Henry, TEN
RB D. Sproles, SD
WR A. Randle El, PIT
WR N. Burleson, MIN
Def Cardinals

If Arrington is over his flu bug this week, I might give him the start over Perry. Boldin has been a good yardage play for me.

For the OP, Start JAX this week. They held P. Manning to -2 points for the week in my league.

yeah, i saw that nate is doubtful, that's why if the guy does not accept the trade soon, i will need to go with engram (as a last resort).

Why on earth would you start a change of pace back (perry)? You would be better off with Henry since it looks like Brown is suffering yet another injury. At least get a guy in there that will get more than 8 carries a game. You leave Perry in there and you are going to be kicking yourself Monday.

I have the same situation, and cannot decide which to start. I know stl defense is pretty soft, and I think that McNair is poised to have a big week. But then again, it is McNair...

Any thoughts?

Stay with Bulger as your QB. He is going to have a big day.

EDIT: ESPN is predicting both Bulger and McNair pass for 3 TD"S. They have Bulger with more yards though (300something to 250something).
ESPN hasn't exactly been predicting real well this year though (thought manning would have 350yds and 3 td's last week...).
For what it is worth, StL. is a pass first team.
