    I can't believe I'm saying this but:

    Roddy White Vs. Jets or Joshua Cribbs vs. KC

    It's a 16 team league that starts 3 wideouts so there is nothing on the wire. If Revis shuts down White and Cribbs gets more looks at RB, I think Cribbs could actually be the better option. Am I insane?

    I have a doozie for ya:

    PPR format.

    3 starters out of:

    Wayne
    R. White
    Driver
    Meachem
    Crabtree

    Right now I am looking at:
    Wayne
    Driver
    Meachem

    Really it comes to benching R. White because of Revis and then Meachem or Crabtree?

    I think Wayne, Driver, and Meachem are your best bets.

    Ok, here is mine:

    Thomas Jones RB JETS
    DeAngelo Williams RB Car
    Justin Forsett RB Sea
    Arian Foster RB Hou

    Randy Moss WR
    Brandon Marshall WR
    Hakeem Nicks WR

    In a PPR league I need to start two RBS, two WRs, and 1 FLEX.

    Jones, Moss, and Mashall are all obvious locks. Who else should I start?

    Thanks!

    White should be good for 4-5 points. Start Cribbs.

    Take the POV of the Jet fan in these scenarios-

    We've all witnessed first hand what Revis will do, and Matt Ryan might not even be throwing the ball.

    Megatron vs. ARI with Culpepper at QB

    or

    Britt vs. Miami with VY a gametime decision

    and

    Winslow vs. Seattle

    or

    Scaife vs. Miami


    Young's status will probably be the deciding factor. Thanks.

    Agreed though you need to keep an eye on Wayne's status.

    For all of us unfortunate Roddy White owners, one guy who might still be on waiver wires is Devin Thomas. He's going against a poor Giants secondary and is now returning kickoffs (if that helps you). He might not even have to deal with Corey Webster (injured).

    I have a dilemma coming up because I have Peyton Manning.

    Our leagues playoffs already started, we try to avoid teams resting their players but when a team goes undefeated it's hard to protect against that.


    I'm not sure which weeks if any to start Peyton, being the homer that I am my backup is Mark Sanchez.

    I had a first week bye, Peyton has carried me through many games this year now it looks like having Peyton could blowup in my face.

    If I start Nicks as my FLEX and Thomas Jones as one of my RBs, which of these guys should I start as my other RB (or do I bench Nicks and start two of these guys)?

    DeAngelo Williams RB Car
    Justin Forsett RB Sea
    Arian Foster RB Hou

    With Sanchez coming off of injury you might want to start Peyton this week. I wouldn't start Peyton after this week unless he plays until the third quarter of this weeks game (or if Sanchez looks gimpy).

    Vikings D is pretty tough, but the other options are great.

    I think you'd have to go with Williams.

    Must be a deep league-

    Carolina just lost Otah, it's second starting OT, and it's Minny, so DW is out.
    I wouldn't take a chance on any of Houston's RB's.

    So your choice is Forsett or Nicks.

    Washington has the 18th ranked pass D, but 23rd against WR2s.
    TB has the 28th ranked run D.

    If you think Mora will come to his senses and use Forsett over JJ, then him.
    Nicks is a safer bet, but less chance for ridiculousness in either direction.

    Very deep.

    So you would start Nicks and Williams while leaving Forsett and Foster on the bench?

    I need to start two guys. Williams has a brutal matchup against the Vikings. Foster has the Rams this week. Forsett isn't getting a lot of love from his coach even though the guy has talent.

    My opponent has the # 1 seed so i need every point I can get out of these guys.

    I'd say yes, just on touches alone.

    Depending how the games go Forsett and Foster might not got more then 5 touches.

    In 3 games Foster has 13 touches and 4 catches, no TD's.

    Forsett has more productivity and he's playing TB this week.

    The Texans head coach said that Foster will start this week but coaches have not always been straigtforward with these things.

    If that's the case start him, they're playing the Rams-
