    10 team. My team in a 12 team league is better. I just lost my first game this past week.

    Combined im 15-3. (7-2) & (8-1)

    This week I'm starting
    Aaron Rodgers
    A. Peterson
    R. Rice
    Ochocinco
    Sidney Rice
    Miles Austin
    TE - Fred Davis
    Steelers
    Elam

    Bench
    Greg Jennings
    Donald Brown
    Chester Taylor
    Kyle Orton
    Tony Scheffler
    Michael Jenkins
    Dolpins
    Ryan Moats
    IR - Owen Daniels

    I got lucky with the #1 overall pick in both leagues and used the same draft strategy. That's why there are similarities between the two teams. It seems my draft strategy works.

    I did the same last year in my main pay league and won the championship.

    I hate my team in this league. My paper tiger RBs are killing me.

    I'm without Shaub this week, and just dropped Orton to pick up Cassell vs the Raiders for a bye week fill-in.

    The league is weighted towards touches (.75 per reception & .25 per carry) & starts 2 RBs, 3 WRs & one RB/WR/TE flex.

    My definite starts seem to be Pierre Thomas @ StL, Wes Welker @ IND, & Derrick Mason @ CLE.

    Beyond that I need 1 more RB, 1 WR & 1 flex. What I have available are:
    LT vs Philly
    Westbrook @ SD (if healthy)
    Julius Jones @ Arizona
    Jamaal Charles @ Oak
    Shonn Greene vs JAC
    Roy E Williams @ GB
    Steve Breaston vs SEA
    Jericho Cotchery vs JAC

    I'm leaning towards Breaston & Cotchery as WR3 & flex, but WRs tend to be higher risk/reward than RBs. The Sportsline writers are talking up Greene as a good play, but it's hard to play a backup RB with one good game over guys that start for their teams.

    Definitely Orton vs Washington

    Here we go......as a flex

    Mike Wallace vs Cincy
    Marshawn Lynch vs Carolina
    Greene vs Jax

    I allready have Hines Ward as a receiver and was planning on starting Wallace with him. Cincy has one of the worst secondaries in football and think Ben will be throwing all day....Let me get some opinions please

    Here's my team: (pay league)
    QB Jay Cutler (trying to upgrade)
    RB Adrian Peterson
    RB Rashard Mendenhall
    WR Roddy White
    WR Wes Welker
    WR Pierre Garcon (BYE; big week?)
    TE Tony Gonzalez
    K Nate Kaeding
    DST Titans (BYE)

    Bench
    QB Kyle Orton (platoon)
    RB Clinton Portis (injured)
    WR Kevin Walter (BYE)
    TE Greg Olsen (trade bait)
    DST Giants (BYE)

    Who should I start at QB and TE? I'm thinking Cutler and Gonzo.

    I would definitely be starting gonzo if I had him, guess it's too late for the QB slot. My turn:

    Pick two:
    Lynch @Ten
    Benson @Pit
    Maroney @ Indy

    Let me know whats up, I'm finding it really hard to bench Benson, but Pitts d is usually pretty stout. Feeling Maroney and Lynch this week.

    Yeah I'd say you are correct Pitt has the best rush defense in the league.

    Guys, whick 4 do I start:

    Grant vs Dall
    Lynch vs Tenn
    H. Ward vs Cin
    M. Wallace vs Cin
    P. Harvin vs Det
    S. Greene vs Jax
    R. Williams vs GB

    Personally, I wanted to go with both Wallace and Ward...is this bad? Also, Sanchez vs Jax or Ryan vs Carolina?

    Bump.

    Can anybody help here? I think I've narrowed it down to Westbrook or Charles for RB2.
