I have a quandry between who to start at my QB position this week...

Matt Cassel vs Dolphins
or
JT O'Sullivan vs Lions

Also at my WR spots...I need to start 4 of the following...

Lee Evans vs Raiders
Patrick Crayton vs Packers
Devery Henderson vs Broncos
Koren Robinson vs Rams
Steve Breaston vs Redskins
Bernard Berrian vs Panthers

The loss of Colston has killed me thus far...help me pick 4 of those


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Uhhhh....Cassell

I benched Peyton Manning and am startin Cassell, hes going against the Dolphins, Bill wants to see what he can do throwing 35 times....he has Moss, and Welker...

I'd say Minimum of 250 yds and 2td's...

O'sullivan is a bum...JMHO!

Personally, I'd start O'Sullivan. The Lions have a worse D than Miami and Mike Martz is going to want revenge after being run out of Detroit.

As for the WRs, blah. I'd go:
Evans (no brainer)
Berrian (I think the Vikings coaches have more confidence in Frerotte than Jackson to throw the ball.)
Henderson (Since Saints-Broncos will probably be a shootout.)

As for the last spot, is Bryant Johnson available on the waiver wire? I'd pick him up. If the WRs you listed are your only options, I would go with Breaston, mainly because I hate Patrick Crayton and he will have a tough matchup against GB's secondary.

How about this one.....

Jamal Lewis or Earnest Graham? I went with Graham 2 in a row, and it's been the better move.

This week I am torn with who to start at QB and RB.

RB, I am unsure whether I want a banged-up LT, Julius Jones playing the Rams after coming off a big week at SF, or Darren Sproles who may get a lot of work if LT is slowed by the toe issue.

Right now I am leaning towards Jones---though its tough to bench LT, even after last weeks poor performance.

At QB I can't decide between Big Ben or Phillip Rivers.

Big Ben has been putting up some pedestrian numbers the last couple weeks, and this week he faces a defense that loves to get after the QB. With that said, Ben is hurting, and that Pittsburgh OL has not shown they can consistently protect the passer. Personally, I feel that the Eagles will OWN in this game.

Rivers on the other hand has been extremely productive through two weeks, and this week the Jets secondary is hardly what he faced in Denver last week. I feel like he will put up some gaudy numbers with LT nursing a toe injury. Rivers has been ON with his WR's so far this year, and I believe that this trend will continue on Monday night.

Currently I am leaning towards Rivers.

The rest of the positions are pretty good. I got Brandon Jacobs, Calvin Johnson, Desean Jackson or Andre Johnson(prolly will start Jackson), Jason Witten, Bills D/ST, and Nate Kaeding.

But who do you cats think I should start as my QB and second RB?

Thats tough, both guys have injury concerns, plus McFadden has a tough match-up this week against the Buffalo Bills From Buffalo. JD on the other hand plays Indy, but he has a a banged up OL.

I would search the waiver wire.

How about my situation above?

Tough call - the homer in me says Jamal Lewis, since Kelly Gregg is out and he should be motivated against his former team. But he has a tough matchup against a still-good Baltimore run D.

Earnest Graham has a tough matchup against the Bears this week as well. I'd probably take Graham because of his track record this year.

Tyler, I agree with your assessment of Rivers over Big Ben.

I am in the same situation as you with LT - I have Chris Johnson on my bench, and LT has been hurt and unproductive so far this season. I'm giving LT another chance this week - he's my #1 guy, and I certainly don't want to bench him on a week he has a big game.

Tyler....

Play LT... The rams are going to put 8 in the box w/ the Seahawks injured WR's..

And go with Rivers...

The Chargers are going to get their first win this week, and I think it will be a big one...

With Willie Parker on the sidelines I would definitely go with Mendenhall.

Why is Harrison even on a team?

Harrison is a deep deep sleeper.

He is comatose.

I would love to see Harrison be the big sleeper Tyler....Id start him, maybe thats the good luck charm we need so the Browns get him on the field!

.......start Rasheed!

I'm starting BE and KW2 again this week, and Trent Edwards b/c I've got Peyton and Calvin Johnson on byes. Some think O'sullivan is a better bet...???
