Alright so I am without BMarsh for week 1 and need to start Laveranues Coles or Nate Burleson in one league and Bryant Johnson or Anthony Gonzalez in another league. Right now I am leaning towards Burleson since he is like their only healthy WR right now and Gonzalez since I'm not sure what SF's WR depth chart looks like. What say you guys?

man, i almost hate to asnwer these questions, because i'm usually wrong and feel bad afterwards, but if you're just looking for another opinion. . . well, take it with a grain of salt!Originally Posted by honz
i'd start coles-- buffalo's DBs are average, while miami's are atrocious. . . farve isn't completely familiar with NY's system yet, but hasselbeck hasn't been playing and might be rusty. . . plus, coles has been much more consistent over his career, where burleson is kind of boom or bust. . .
and i'd probably reluctantly go with bryant johnson-- he's at least a second option in the passing game, while gonzalez is probably a distant fifth behind wayne, harrison, clarke and addai. . . JMO. . .
either way, good luck. . .
- John Elway“When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
That's MR. DEY to you!
I need to start 3 of the following:
Brian Westbrook
Fred Taylor
LenDale White
Chris Johnson
Ahman Green
Westbrook is obvious, but I'm a little concerned about my other two. help?
I win. ™

none of those other than westbrook is a matchup to be happy with, but i'd say fred and lendale, no question. . .

I'm hearing Chris Johnson might actually get more of the work, and I'm afraid if either of them are going to bust off a big run, it's going to be him. Ugh. I'm almost tempted to say "forget Fred, start both the Titans!"
But I think I'll heed your advice.

meh. . . i do think johnson's a legit talent, but i'm a long ways from ready to believe that he can handlle a heavy workload. . . until i see otherwise, i still think lendale will get the bulk of the carries-- including all the goal line work, which makes it an easy decision IMO. . . those are two tough, physical defenses squaring off, and the reality is that i wouldn't have high hopes for ANY back in that game-- sometimes that's just how it plays out. . . i say play the odds and take the guys who'll get the most chances, and hope one of them puts up a TD or two. . . after all, chris freaking brown put 175 on the jags week one last year. . . .

Ugh, no offense, but those are some pretty mediocre options!
I'd definitely go Fred and I'd say it is a toss up between Johnson and LenDale. I would start whichever Titan is supposed to be the man...I've heard Johnson has looked good, but Lendale will likely get that start so I don't really know what to make of that situation. I'd just find out who is getting the start and go with that guy.Not sure if that was helpful or not.

McFadden or Ricky Williams?
Right now I'm leaning towards the rook.

Ricky is still starting, right...if he is, I'd go with him in week one, just because you don't know about a rookie...though, obviously, the Denver run defense is questionable.
*The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.
Lets Go Broncos
but will McFadden get enough touches?
I say flip a coin for this one. R Williams could do well vs
an overrated Jets team IMO.
WTE - 2007 - 2020 - RIP
With Denver's D-Line, McFadden might only need one touch to break the bank.
So Nice, We did it Twice
Here's my line up for Week #1
QB - Cutler
RB - A. Peterson
RB - W. Parker
WR - Welker
WR - Moss, S. (only cause Marshall is suspended) (9 points Thursday night)
TE - Davis, V.
K - Elam
DF - Broncos ( only cause Cowboys are on the road in Cleveland)
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE

Pretty good lineup.
