    I know they're bad plays, but my other RBs are:

    LJ: suspended
    J. Chaarles (his backup): hurt

    Deangelo Williams: Bye
    Duece: Bye

    14 team league

    I currently have Bush in the lineup (McFadden injury), but who knows whats up with the Rayderrrs..... I'm playing my bro this week (who has McFadden) so I would like to beat him with Bush as I tried to trade Bush to him a few weeks ago and he declined. Although naturally I'd rather beat him with both JETS RBs, and make him have to cheer for my guys the whole time :smile:

    TO or Jericho?

    I cannot trust TO until Romo gets back. Witten is hurting, might play anyway, but who knows if he'll remain in the whole game. If he goes out, I'd think Johnson would have to go to TO and Roy E. The Giants Secondary isn't really good, but their Front 7 and pass-rush is excellent, so this is a tough call.

    And Cotchery is playing through injury, against a pretty good Buffalo Secondary.

    Any advice? Thanks.

    Cotchery's injury didn't really seem to slow him down too much last week. TO has really been miserable for the last month, even before Romo went out. You can give him a pass for having a shitty game against the excellent TB secondary but the 3 weeks weeks before that he had a combined 8 catches for 134 yards against the Bengals, Cardinals and Rams. Those are some miserable pass defenses.

    I don't think TO is a start at this point if you have a viable alternative, although it's probably going to hurt when or if he has a big game on the bench.

    Santana Moss didn´t practice all week with a Hamstring Injury and is listet as Questionable. The Problem is that the Skins are playing on Monday night. Moss isn´t exactly a tough guy, so I´m not sure if I´m willing to gamble. With McFadden and Morris two other opions are also unplayable. So who should is start at my Flex in a 0.5 PPR League?

    Santana Moss (Pit)
    Jamal Lewis (Bal)
    Eddie Royal (Mia)
    Ryan Torain (Mia)

    or should I drop Torain to pick up Green-Ellis (who has a great matchup against Indy) and plug him in?

    Cutler vs Miami or Edwards vs Jets

    Leaning towards Trent Edwards. See Tyler Thigpen.......

    tough call. Torrain is enticing, but there's no body of work to judge...... he's my gut, although Ellis (then Royal) wouldn't be bad

    Who are the two odd-men-out out of this group?

    C. Portis(Probable) vs Pitt
    R. Brown vs Den
    J. Addai(Questionable) vs NE
    D. Jackson(Probable) vs SEA
    J. Cotchery(Probable) vs Buff
    M. Pittman(Questionable) vs Mia


    Normally Portis is a must start but he has a terrible matchup against Pitt. Boldin is also starting at WR. Just need to decide how to fill my other spots. All these guys are projected on CBS sports to have 13-16 FFP.

    I would take out Pittman and Jackson, though I am biased for Cotchery.

    Garica @KC
    Rodgers vs. Tenn

    I am still leaning towards Rodgers. I think they will give Tenn their first loss

    Roy - he already has caught a td and the Giants' secondary is not spectacular. Most of their turnovers are created from that great pass rush.

    Farve, Rothlesburger or do I pickup Chad Pennington off waivers?

    My gut says Farve will have a big day today, but my head says go get Chad. I dont trust Big Ben against the NFC East teams.

    Which three do I start?

    T.O. @ Giants?
    Cotch @ Bills?
    Eddie Royal vs Dolphins?
    Reggie Wayne vs Patriots?
    Driver @ Titans?

    I'm leaning Cotch, Eddie Royal and Wayne.

    See bolded. TO hasnt been playing well even before Romo went out, and Driver is way inconsistant.

    uggh... I'm still torn on the Michael Bush or Leon Washington.

    My gut says Bush will finally get some carries, but last week he got the ball 5 times.

    Part of me thinks they try to get Leon more involved, but the Bills have a good D.

    I'd go with Wash. I thinking (and hoping) the CS saw what Washington can do with the ball when they give him enough touches. Like you said, Bush had 5 touches last week.

    I may have to sit Wayne out. He was back at practice on Friday and was limited with with a knee injury. He's considered a game time decision tonight. So, I'm gonna go with T.O. to play it safe.
