    I have both Shonn Greene and Ronnie Brown on my fantasy team, and I'm starting Shonn Greene.

    I just can't force myself to start Ronnie Brown even though he's the obviously better choice, I would just feel horrible about it, because somewhere deep inside I would be hoping he does well...

    What are some stories you guys have of not starting players who are going against the Jets only to have it bite you on the ass?

    My story is that you're an idiot for playing Greene...or you're not in a cash league.

    Yeah I'm not in a cash league, so it doesn't mean much. Plus i'm undefeated anyway.

    I'll be laughing when Greene gets 150 yards and 3 TD's tomorrow! haha

    I make it easy by just not drafting players from the other AFC East teams all together. Actually my teams are usually NFC-heavy. Been working fine, I'm dominating my league right now.

    Haha, I know how you feel though - a few weeks ago in one of my leagues (I don't do pay in any of them) I had Ronnie Brown pull out a last-second win for me with his great performance against the Jets, while simeltaneously in another league Braylon Edwards' great game torpedoed me.
