okay, are you kidding?

first off, play bettis instead of rudi johnson. When Bettis isn't running a short yardage touchdown, he's throwing one... and Rudi Johnson is up against the buffalo bills, the bills have the 4th ranked defense in the NFL... not to say he won't score, but I like bettis' chances better. The bills allowed 17 yards of total offense to the browns last week... think about that before you play rudi johnson, and while you're thinking about that, think about Carson Palmer as well... and we're even assuming that Palmer is going to be healthy next week.

I Like Leftwich @ Packers or Delhomme @ falcons it's rather arbitrary.

yeah i wasnt really thinking about palmer, but i listed him as a QB

the reason I play Rudi instead of Bettis is there are weeks, like against the jaguars when he gets almost no carries and therefore 0 points...rudi is gauranteed to get the ball and have a chance to score...bettis is always a gamble i feel

Leftwich

The Packers have given up some HUGE yardage passing lately.
And this is coming from a Packers fan.

Before you start Leftwich, realize that his favorite target (Smith) is hurt, and they're playing in bad conditions that weekend. As for your other choices, Kitna is starting instead of Palmer, and he might be a better start than the rest of those jokers. Hasselbeck is horrible, don't start him. Delhomme is probably your best start, but he's facing a VERY solid defense, so I'd be careful about that.

Just be careful.

And I agree that Bettis is a good start instead of Johnson. He's been good lately, but Bettis is too good an option to pass on.

i face manning this week too. :(

but i have either McNabb or Brees. i've stuck with McNabb the whole season but the last 6 weeks, they've gone back and forth.

Leftwich is the best bet, but the weather in GB is going to SUCK this weekend. He won't get huge numbers, but he will be facing the worst passing D of your choices.

Forcast:
High in the mid-teens and 40% chance of snow. I'll be freezing my butt off, and hoping that Leftwich has a horrible game. :)
