Which four from this list should I start this week? Please list your choices in order of preference. THANK YOU!

Woodhead (@buf)

Rice (@cle)

Jones-Drew (was)

Green-Ellis (@buf)

Tolbert (@cin)

Torain (@jac)

[thatoneguy]

MJD and Green-Ellis are must start players, as they're great producers who are both playing gawdawful run defenses. Torain and Rice would be my other two, although Torain may not be all that much better than Woody or Tolbert. I lean toward Torain because Jax is also not good vs the run and the Skins will likely try to control the clock to keep the Jags' offense off the field.

It's nice to have some cake matchups like that in championship week!

I'm in my league's title game and have my Eagle trio (Vick, D. Jackson and Maclin) going up against a Vikings defense that has given up and Mendenhall against Carolina's awful run D.

Good luck to you.

[Wadinator]

WOW! With matchups like that this week, you should be lovin it!

I have another one for ya. This is the championship game in my other (much thinner) league. Pick 3.

Benson vs SD

Charles vs Ten

Torain @ Jac

Ricky William vs Det

Westbrook @ STL

Normally I wouldn't think twice about this one, going with Benson, Charles, and Torain. However, Benson versus the SD defense has me worried, and this is a big money league. In this league we also have one swing player that can be one more of those listed above as well as...

Javarris James @oak

Kevin Walter @ Den

Sims-Walker vs Was

Manningham @ GB

Tony Gonzalez vs NO

What do you think?

[thatoneguy]

SD's defense has been playing great, and Cincy will be without TO which (in theory) should make it easier to focus on stopping the run. I don't think Benson is a terrible play, but I would go with Charles and Torain for sure, and probably Westbrook. It's a coin flip between Westbrook and Benson IMO. Westbrook probably has more potential, but Benson is more of a sure thing to get at least some points.

For your flex I'd take Manningham. Green Bay's defense is very solid, but the NYG offense is pretty explosive and Manningham has been a good target. Sims-Walker has great potential with a friendly matchup, but it he has an annoying tendency to disappear for entire games. If you feel like taking the risk, he's definitely an option, but he could put up a zero for you just as easily as 120 and a TD.

Here's my matchup for the title...enough cash on the line to pay for a chunk of the Humminbird SI sonar I have my eye on

Purple Nurples (that's me)

13-2-0

QB - Vick

WR - DeSean Jackson

WR - Maclin

WR - Stevie Johnson

RB - Mendenhall

RB - Jamaal Charles

Flex - Tashard Choice (or Welker...I'm debating on that one)

TE - Winslow

Def - San Diego

K - Tynes

Quack Doctors

10-5-0

QB - P. Manning

WR - Wayne

WR - Colston

WR - Garcon

RB - MJD

RB - McFadden

Flex - V. Jackson

TE - Marcedes Lewis

Def - Jets

K - Bironas

We both have some great matchups, and are projected (by Yahoo, fwiw) for the exact same point total. Should be fun to watch!

[Wadinator]

Good luck! All things considered, those are some pretty good lineups and matchups.

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm going to go with all of your recommendations, except I think I'm going to start Westbrook over Manningham in the shift.

Dixon is rumored to have a sore ankle, and they're switching from Alex Smith back to Troy Smith. Might be enough to spark their offense against a division foe.

[Stcloudangler]

Hey just a thought but Kevin Walter has been getting around 10 looks per lately, Schaub has finally heated up, and Denver's been giving up alot of pts.... chew on it

[Nick Kuhn]

I'm playing this week to defend my league title. Here's the matchup (12 team league).

Me: (10-3-1, lead league in points (107 more than 2nd place, my opponent))

QB: Joe Flacco

RB: Michael Turner

RB: Darren McFadden

WR: Dwayne Bowe

WR: Mike Wallace

WR: Roddy White

TE: Brandon Pettigrew

K: David Akers

DS: Steelers Defense/Special Teams

Opponent: (13-1)

QB: Ben Roethlisberger

RB: LeGarrette Blount

RB: Jamaal Charles

WR: Larry Fitzgerald

WR: Andre Johnson

WR: Reggie Wayne

TE: Marcedes Lewis

K: Rob Bironas

DS: Ravens Defense/Special Teams

Should be a good matchup. I could potentially start Miles Austin at WR or Green-Ellis at RB. But the players I have in are capable of monster numbers. TE is a little weak, but hopefully he can snag a TD.

[zamboni]

I have McFadden on my team, he's like a box of chocolates- never know what you're gonna get. 3 tds on 50 yds? 0 tds on 120 yds? Never know

[drewbop]

i'm stuck on which 3 to pick:

jennings vs nyg

vjack @ cin

bowe vs ten

manningham @ gb

s moss @ jac

usually i would go qith jennings vjack and bowe but like everyone else, this is for the 'chip and would like to see what others think besides me. bowe has been AWEFUL the last 2 wks and i've debated slipping in manningham or moss

i feel i have to have jennings and vjack in for sure...

[drewbop]

and to pick 4 RB's:

Rice

MJD

Green-Ellis

Torain

[tunrevir]

So I'm trying to decide whom to play this week.

Nicks

Jennings

Steve Johnson

Maclin

Pick 2.

I am starting Green-Ellis and Tolbert.

I am starting Schaub at qb.

I am looking at starting Owen daniels at TE but have Tamme on the bench.

Kicker Nick Folk What do you think? Arizona Def(please keep the laughing to a minimum:)

Tunrevir~

[FISHINGURU]

MJD is doubtful.

I'd go with

Rice, Torain, Tolbert, Green-Ellis.

If you get points for receptions I'd replace Green Ellis with Woodhead.

[Nick Kuhn]

Looks like I should have benched Flacco for Josh Freeman. Oh well I have a 13 point edge with 3 players remaining, to my opponents 1 (McCoy in place of Blount).

[Wadinator]

And I should have started Manningham instead of Westbrook in the shift position.

Hindsight....20/20....blah blah blah.

Oh well.
