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.

that, and i would go with the home team.

Here's my lineup:

QB M. Bulger, STL
And my bench:

QB S. McNair, TEN

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?


I've had McNair as a backup as long as I've had Bulger (and Warner before him. I love keeper leagues :) ). Normally I would start McNair here, but with all the changes to the Titan's offense this year, I need to see that last week wasn't a fluke. I know this game is going to result in tons of throws by both QBs though, so I'm going by the talent around him. Bulger gets my start.

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 am considering starting Henry over Perry, but from what I hear, Perry may be a RB/WR in this week's game:

Bengals: Chris Perry as third receiver? The News: The Bengals sent Peter Warrick packing just prior to the start of the season and have been filling his position a variety of ways. Third-year player Kelley Washington was first to play that role, but he was deactivated last week and rookie Chris Henry moved into the No. 3 spot. "I don't know if we necessarily have a No. 3 receiver right now," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "We use the other receivers depending on the personnel grouping and who's up in a lot of different ways." Lewis added that right now he considers running back Chris Perry the team's third receiver. Our View: Perry has nine catches for 70 yards, and that doesn't include an 86-yard touchdown catch against the Vikings that was negated by a penalty. Any uptick in looks he sees likely detracts from the potential value of Washington and Henry as well as that of Kevin Walter or Tab Perry, the other wideouts on Cincy's roster.

martz won't ever let jackson run wild.. he's a passing man and he's really not that great of a coach, so he won't ever utilize jackson to his full potential.. however jackson is good, and can bust one out whenever he gets a chance
