And the real one I am not sure about....

Jordy nelson vs San Fran
or
Anquan Bolden vs Green bay.

I would go with Nelson.

Need to start two from this list:

Brandon Marshall
Greg Jennings (@ DET)
Sidney Rice (@CAR)
Kenbrell Thompkins (@BUFF)

Obviously I'm going to start B Marsh but can't decide between the other three.
At first I thought Rice, but he is coming off injury.
Right now I have Jennings set to start alongside B Marsh but he has Ponder throwing to him and has had a quiet preseason.
Kenbrell Thompkins intrigues me and I'm somehwat tempted to go with him instead.
Thoughts?

Rice had a full practice yesterday so that's good news. Until i see Ponder and Jennings get on the same page during games, i'd shy away from him for now. Same with Brady/Thompkins. But that's just me.

Rice against the Panthers defense seems to be a favorable match up for Rice IMO, but the Panthers defense has looked much improved during the preseason. Tough call between Rice and Marshall if i had to make one.

Lineup question for League with QB, 2 RB spots, 2 WR spots, 1 TE spot, 3 FLEX spots(TE, WR, RB)

I have:
RG3
Arian Foster
Ray Rice
Wes Welker
Torey Smith
Vernon Davis
Chris Johnson

But after that, pick 2:
Julius Thomas
Alshon Jeffrey
Daniel Thomas
Ryan Williams
Kenny Stills
Nate Washington
Coby Fleener

Leaning towards Alshon Jeffrey's new upside with the Bears revamped o-line. Torn between Julius, Nate Washington, and Kenny Stills for last spot.

Are you in a big league? That's tough to try and pick 2 of those guys to play. I'd probably go with Thomas and Fleener. Or Thomas and Jeffrey.

Go thompkins and don't look back. Jennings is going to suck, rice already sucks.....thompkins is going to get a lot of looks....the pats are going to run it a Tom this year but he has the best chance. It's still Tom Brady.

I like any of the first three u have listed. If you trust Julius Thomas go him and Alshon. If you don't go Alshon and Dan Thomas. I don't figure Dan Thomas to do much but he is a rb.....you know what....

Go Julius and Alshon, that's the best bet for this week. Broncos are going to have to score a bunch to win this game.

Lamar Miller or Reggie Bush this week?

Bush. Too early to get cute playing matchups. Trust your draft order for now.

Sometimes I need this reminder...always solid advice.

BUSH...Always and ever. I am really high on him this year. I can see him being like jahid best was before the old head thingy. They have said they see him catching 70 passes this year...I bet its more like 80. Thats top 5 wr number plus any additional rush yards he gets.

Really glad I went with Orange Julius, though I wonder if I could use him to pry a RB off someone next week.

You're welcome.

One of my teams had D. Thomas and Welker...and I'm losing because he had Peyton Manning.

Sort of in the same boat. I am in 3 leagues....my big big money league I had peyton and welker and was going against decker. So that is good. In my next big money league I had Orange Julius but was going against peyton and DT....In my other league I had OJ and the Broncos D, but went against peyton...

So I had to cheer for peyton and welker and all those guys, but in two leagues I had to root against them. Stupid Danny T for dropping the int in the endzone. I needed that defensive TD!!
