Ok Ladies Ive gotta find a fill in for my Week 1 WR since Brandon Marshall is suspended, Now Ive got 3 WR's on my radar Tell me who you would choose if you were in my predicament.

1) Sidney Rice - cause im a homer and it would even be sweeter to see my fantasy squad score points will stomping the pack at the same time.

2) Ted Ginn Jr. - seems to be the only receiver on miami and with pennington behind the helm against him old team it may make for a score and decent yards.

3) Courtney Taylor - Engram Hurt, Branch Hurt, Good Matchup

Oh yea ive got Javon Walker on the bench to but ive got no confidence in him yet....

[Scott M]

Ginn for sure, especially if you get points on special teams. Sid as a backup, and good call on Courtney Taylor. Seattle has had like 2 or 3 receivers go down.

Or within the Broncos, Ed Royal. There's a lot of talk about Meachem or Hester as sleepers. If Ronald Curry is available he could fill in nicely in this and future weeks.

[TKO_PUNCH]

Ginn as he is the only receiver on that team.

I have K Smith or Edg. James to pick for my 2nd RB. What do you guys think?

Smith against Atl

James against SF

Both teams are supposed to have decent D, but are they really that good.

[Craigums]

Edge......

Wait and see how kevin smith performs escpecially with the addition of rudi johnson before commiting him to your line-up

[zamboni]

I am starting Smith. Rudi Johnsons signing doesn't scare me, this Smith guy is for real.

[Craigums]

I've got this crazy idea that makes me want to start Ray Rice if McGahee doesn't play against the bengals over MJD against the Titans....

Please convince me this is just crazyness and it will cost me the game

[ozzie]

Might not be that crazy since MaGahee hasn't even ran other than in a pool last I heard and the Bengals d isn't that great.

MJD is playing a tougher defense in the titans and with him and Taylor as the featured backs it is always a toss-up as to who will score.....

but that is what I love about fantasy you might be a smart man by starting Rice or you might just kick yourself with MJD getting a couple TD's.......Good Luck on your decision

well i started off the week ok with Buress as one of my wide out for the one league that im in. Should be a great start.

[TKO_PUNCH]

Buress is due for another two or three weeks of high fantasy points. Trade him after week 4 while his value is high

[bassNspear]

trade him, what for?

[TKO_PUNCH]

He always has a down turn in the middle of the year. Pending any injuries, there is a chance for a 2 for 1 trade. Like I said, it would be an injury pending trade if I had him.

[north red river]

Ok I can start 3 RB's

1. Steven Jackson

2. Marshawn Lynch

Spot 3 can be filled with either.....Kevin Smith,Earnest Graham or Selvin Young?? I need some opinions from others because i'm tired of busting my brain!

[Scott M]

Kevin Smith first choice, Selvin Young, second, Earnie Graham third.

[LMITOUT]

Kevin Smith might be short term, so get what you can out of him now. Rudi is waiting in the wings.

I like Selvin too, but with Atlanta vs. Detroit, I'd try Smith.

[zamboni]

Rudi is waiting in the wings of a rocking chair at a rest home. Only problem is he put his deposit in his luggage and Tatum Bell stole it. Kevin Smith will be the starter all season, trust me.

[TKO_PUNCH]

Kevin Smith against Atlanta

[WittleWaldo]

Appartently they are to share the workload for week one. According to mlive.com

[bassNspear]

Turner Turned it up.

[north red river]

Well I started Smith and got 13 points out of him....i'll take it! Wish I woulda had turner in that game....WOW!

[BID2]

Tom Brady was my QB. I think Im gonna get jackson, just for the heck of it.

[Flaco651]

Looks like I got a good pick in Michael Turner. Started him today too.

[zamboni]

Smith would have had a better game against Atlanta, had they not been down 21-0 5 minutes into the game. Detroits "D" is HORRID.
