Seems like Lewis is a no-brainer.... but KC is desperate for a win... and Holmes.. is well... Holmes. What d'y'all think?

Lewis, Ravens D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KC D

What kind of league allows you to make changes this late in the game week?

Yahoo... you can make changes up to 5 minutes into the game... 5 minutes Real time... not game time

A) Many online leagues let you make changes up until the last second.

B) This should have YAFFT in the subject line.

C) This is the most ridiculous question ever. Sure, there's a POSSIBILITY that Priest will do well, but Jamal Lewis is just as productive as Priest in the right situation, and he's going up against the worst rushing defense in the NFL. How is this even in question? I'll bet you they just tell Ray Lewis to go after Priest every play tonight, while Chris McAlister or Buchanon go after Gonzalez. What will the Chiefs have left?

YAFFT is in the title....

The way this week has gone so far... you really never know... KC does still have one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL... Baltimore however... EXCEPT for Lewis have a pretty weak offense, especially with Heap out. KC could key almost 100% on Lewis... and if they shut him down early, and put up some good points... you're gonna see Boller trying to pass the ball, and Holmes running all game long.

It's not as much of a gimme as you might think.

I think the better question is..how the hell did you get Lewis and Priest? Are you in a league of 4? Did you pull off some uber trade?

Anyway, Lewis easily.

Max, if you can get tix to the game tonight, DEFINITELY GO. Have you ever been to a Raven's game? The atmosphere is absolutely hostile... it would give Philly (and I'm talking the old Vet) a run for its money, let me tell u, and it makes FedEx Field (Skins) look like Pee Wee's Playhouse. I went to last year's Raven's/Chiefs game, and this guy was wearing a KC Jersey in the bathroom taunting Ravens fans at the half. The man received some serious profanities from all directions, as well as 3 guys who threatened to kick his ass. He shut up really quick. Also, I'd like to add that B.More held Holmes to <100 yards rushing (90 yds if I recall correctly), and the deciding 7 pts was from a Dante Hall return. You can bet Ray and co. want revenge, and it's very tough for opposing teams to come in the M&amp;T and win, I'd strongly advise going if you can get tix. It's quite an experience...

Went to the Ravens/Falcons preseason game at M&amp;T... wish I could get tix... but I just can't justify spending the dough, after just going to fedex last monday... unless you got extras?;)

Sorry no tix, they're next to impossible to get... I'm waiting to see if someone can't make the game, usually my company will let me know (since I put in for this game) by noon if the people who won the tix pool can't go, but odds are slim to none. I've also asked all around the office and nobody has any extra tix... guaranteed it will be an incredible time.

I'd agree with the others to start Lewis, because Priest's health isn't 100% (rumored that he's banged up) and the Raven's O is 75% centered around running. But any given Sunday, so you never know.

-Max

10 team league, the first round goes like this:

1. Priest
2. LDT
3. Green
4-6. Lewis/Alexander/Portis, in any order

Priest and Lewis should both be gone in the first round. Someone dropped the ball. You can find a nice value QB around round 4 or 5 if you go big on RBs early.

I ended up with Pennington and Green....

Noone has mentioned that the Ravens are missing 2 of their better run blockers, Todd Heap and Mike Flynn...and the Chiefs defense only gave up a total of 76 yards last game. :)

Max, I just scored 2 tix from my boss! He couldn't go (his friend was too sick to go) so I got the tix... I called my dad and he said he would go, so sorry man, you were next on the list!! ;) GO RAVENS

Chiefs fan here.

I am pretty disappointed in them this year though. Not even Holmes can keep them from losing. They used to be nigh unbeatable at Arrowhead, but then they lost to the Texans. The Texans, at home.

I hate to say it, but I don't think they'll be able to come out on top with thier schedule.

Should be a good game, but the D will probably let Lewis run all over them and it'll fubar anything the offense can overcome (at least this year).

Actually, the question is, why aren't you able to start both?? Most leagues you should be able to start 2 rbs at least. Who's your 3rd rb that you had to decide between lewis and holmes??
