How about these options? Philip Rivers VS KC or Jay Cutler VS Detroit. I am leaning towards Rivers, because even without Vincent Jackson (who happens to be on my FF team but I think I may have dropped him) he is the better option then Cutler IMO.

Whadda' yall say?

Rivers for sure.

Don't sit your studs. Cutler is a good backup in case your guy goes down but you don't really want to rely on him not throwing interceptions in that Martz offense over a whole season.

What they said.

[Hardcore Texan]

I got RB and my flex position that I need to decide between:

Need one RB and one RB/WR:
L. McCoy
Hightower
CJ Spiller
Lee Evans

Not really considering the rest of my bench, which is:
Slaton
Sproles
Dez Bryant

The rest of the starters are locked down:
P. Rivers
AP
Colston
Calvin Johnson
T. Gonzales
D/ST Cowboys
and some kicker.

I am leaning toward Hightower and McCoy, but I hate McCoy's match up against GB. That's a tough row to hoe. So I am actually considering playing the rookie Spiller in his place. Thoughts?

For the bold, start Spiller if possible. The Bills passing game is suspect so I expect them to give CJ a lot of carries as they will probably depend on him for offensive points. He had a decent preseason campaign and I expect him to get a TD or two in his first regular season game.

Thanks fellas - I started Nicks, and it paid off.

I shoulda sat Sims-Walker, who did not even catch one ball against Champ Bailey...

[The1ApplePie]

I got stuck with DeSean Jackson and Maclin. I see Maclin as the true No. 1, especially with Vick. Should I sub one of them out?

[MannyFresh]

So what about Shonn Green now? Think LT is the starter now?

[Tailgate]

Vick vs. the 28th ranked jax defense or Rogers vs. Chicago where he only had 1 td and less than 400 yards combined in 2 games last year.

Do I HAVE to go with my #1 because he is my unquestioned #1?

That's a tough one. I typically never bench my studs but this might just call for it.

[Cush]

J. Best vs MIN
or
C. Benson vs. CAR

(Other RB is A. Peterson...)

(BTW, I'm feeling pretty lucky to have nabbed JBest in the friggin 9th round in our draft!!)

I'd just like to know if you guys think I should keep starting Jamaal Charles. My RBs are Benson, Foster, Charles, Spiller, Fred Taylor, and Mike Tolbert (SD).

My WRs are AJ, Welker, Mark Clayton, and Mike Wallace.

I need to start two RBs, two WRs, and a flex.

Right now I have Foster, Benson, Charles, AJ, and Welker starting. I am considering starting Clayton as he has been Bradford's favorite target and moving Welker to the flex and sitting Charles this week. What do you guys think I should do?

I'd start Benson. I am predicting a big week for him.

Toughy. But I am gonna stick to the rules and go with Rogers. Homo did throw for almost 400 against Chicago last week. Well see...

Foster since he is the clear #1, and Benson faces a stingy Car run D this week. Benson will have to get a ton of carries to get near 100 and he has a shoulder nick right now. I would keep starting Charles simply due to his homerun threat potential. 49ers do have a solid run D tho.

This week:

Foster, Charles, AJ, Welker, and either Benson or Clayton. I typically go w RB in the flex when confronted with this scenario.

Awesome thanks! That is exactly what I am planning on doing then. You convinced me.

Other question I have is who to start at TE. I have Brent Celek and Kellen Winslow. I'd start Celek but with Vick being the starter in Philadelphia, I am unsure on what to do. Winslow is having knee issues but looks pretty damn good last week but was no good in week 1. Can't make up my mind.

I think with Vick starting, Celek will not get many opportunities. I would start Winslow.

I would also go with Winslow, Celek is a bad performance or 2 from getting cut from my squad.

Thanks to both of you for the advice, and I concur. If Celek has anymore bad weeks, I may drop him for John Carlson.
