Best no question. Jennings is dicey even when he's not playing the Jets.

As for me again, Big Ben or P. Rivers? (leaning with Ben), Owen Daniels or Tony Moeaki?


Big Ben. Way more weapons than Rivers right now and Pitt is really throwing in the red zone. Depends on the settings as well. Ben will probably throw more TDs but Rivers will have him in yards.

I'd go Moeaki. Bills suck against TEs, Indy is great and Houston might just run Foster all night like they did in week 1.

I'd go New England -- bigger turnover opportunity, since they're either getting a hobbled Favre or a Tavaris Jackson. San Diego always finds a way to pick it up in the second half of the season, and while their run D is excellent their pass D could well be picked apart by Rivers.

I would go Austin, he has been hit and miss lately but Kitna is a vet so I wouldnt worry about a terrible offensive effort from the Cowboys. GB is playing the Jets D

tough, I think Dallas will run more plus Kitna loves Roy Williams but Austins big play ability is better than Jennings, especially against the Jets. I'd go Austin.


Seahawks d vs. Oakland or Patriots d vs. Minnesota?

Austin, no contest. Jags are BRUTAL defending WRs.

Jake Steed wrote:Seahawks d vs. Oakland or Patriots d vs. Minnesota?


Hmm... I've been debating that Seahawks D myself (I have KC at home against Buffalo). I feel like Oakland will play conservatively, whereas Minny is going to have to take some chances on the road. Really feel like NE has a chance to have a ton of turnovers, and maybe a pick 6. Gut call is Pats, even though Seattle is a top 5 DST so far this year. A large portion of that came in Leon's 2 return TD afternoon, but he is a threat on any given day, so I'm not feeling 100% about it, but I think it's how I'd go. However, I like DST's who have a chance to win me my week rather than DST's who give you 4 or 5 points each week consistently, but that's just me.

RB - Lynch (@OAK), Wells (v. TB), Best (v. WAS), Greene (v. GB), Stewart (@ STL)
WR - Welker (v. MIN), S. Smith (@STL), Colston (v. PIT)

Need 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 flex. Leaning Lynch, Wells, Best, Colston, Smith.


RBs:
Best (agree with your earlier point about check downs)
Lynch (volume play)

Toughy on the WRs. I'm not crazy about any of them.
Smith feels the safest. Moore likes him.
I'd lean towards Colston for the second spot. Welker has to show something post-Moss before I'd start him and I've got a feeling that the Sunday nighter is going to be higher scoring then expected.

Flex:
Depends on how you feel. I know Carolina is a mess but J Stew has more upside than Beanie. Beanie is definitely safer though.


Sat Beanie and his 12 points. Lynch, Stewart, Best, and Smith combined for a whopping 16 points. Colston is TBD. Faaaaack.

Roethlisburger over Rivers...sigh. Also, Moeaki over Daniels may kill me, as might Wayne over Lloyd.
