Let's try to keep Fantasy Football talk consolidated here, so people don't complain.

My team is going to get murdered unless McNabb, Larry Johnson, and Chris Brown all bounce back.

I'd probably go with Cadillac. St. Louis has a slightly worse rush defense than Washington, and Cadillac seems to actually be getting TD carries this year.

For my second RB slot I have: Cedric Benson or DeShawn Wynn. Any suggestions on who to play?

My lineup looks like this:

Carson Palmer
LT
Travis Henry
Javon Walker
Calvin Johnson
Adrian Peterson (flex)
Jason Witten
Jason Hanson
Steelers D

I was thinking about starting A Boldin over Calvin Johnson, but Philly's secondary is in bad shape with Sheppard and Dawkins out. Plus Boldin is up against the Ravens.

Going for a 3-0 start. Wish me luck!

Which 3 WRs.

Javon Walker
Chad Johnson
Bernard Berrian
Lee Evans
Shaun McDonald
Jacoby Jones

Javon and Chad are in, the next one I dunno. Chicago vs. dallas's weak secondary. Lee, hasn't done sh1t this year, when will he start playing. Probably not against the pats. Shaun, well he's got a throwing quarterback. Jacoby, filling in for Andre, should get some touches, but the colts seem to have a improved secondary. Thinking Berrian overall.

RB got Shaun Alexander in, second slot. Got Steven Jackson, once again, hasn't done much this season. Warrick Dunn, Kevin Jones, and Reggie Bush, I dunno. Leaning toward Jackson since they're going against TB.

both are questionable, but i'd definitely pick burress since jones may be the packers #3 today.

benson. the dallas d has 3 key components out which should open the passing game, allowing him a little more freedom running the ball.

i think it's a tossup between berrian and jacoby jones, but i'm partial to jones being a houston guy. keep jackson as your 2nd RB.

I'd start Berrian. The Cowboys D is not good.

You also have to start Jackson.

Benson over Wynn. No one knows what Wynn is and they have to play a good Chargers run D.

did you really need anything to happen to figure that out? There is a reason ESPN is a household name in sports.

Maybe because I don't like ESPN's fantasy program? I'd still take CBS or Yahoo over ESPN for FF.

Yeah, he has 42 points so far. That might just be enough to win it for me. Too bad LJ can't go more than 2 yards without being tackled.

I wish I had Brian Westbrook on my Team. 14 carries for 110 yards and 2 TDs, then 5 catches for 111 yards and a TD :Q. Or even Kevin Curtis with 221 receiving yards and 3 TD's.

If they both are injured, this is a big blow to my team. Hopefully these injuries arent too bad
