Week 1 is looming folks. I'm giddy - like a schoolgirl. Anyway, I figured I would create a thread where people from the planet can post their rosters, and or tentative weekly starting rosters if they needed help.
I'm stuck @ #2 RB and #3 WR. Here is who I have starting in week one.
QB - Garrard @ Tenn
RB - Barber @ Cleveland Portis @ NYG, TJones @ Miami, Selvin Young @ Oakland
WR - Colston v. TB
WR - Cotchery @ Miami Bryant Johnson v. Zona, Hackett @ SD, Porter @ Tenn, Galloway @ NO
TE - Lee v. Minny
K - Jeff Reed v. Houston
JAX D @ Tenn.
Any help/guidance for my second RB and third WR would be appreciated.
Our information has yet to be posted on Yahoo! But, when it is I will be able to let you guys know some of the better FA WRs. [Reply]
Alright....so Week 12 is a confusing week. I have no idea who to start because of my matchups. So therefore.....choose 1 QB, 2 RBs and either 3 WRs or 2 WRs and a TE.
QBs:
McNabb vs. Ravens
Quinn vs. Texans
Flacco vs. Eagles
RBs:
Portis vs. Seahawks
Forte vs. Rams
Lynch vs. Chiefs
J. Jones vs. Redskins
WRs:
A. Johnson vs. Browns
M. Colston vs. Packers
D. Bowe vs. Bills
R. Brown vs. Ravens
V. Jackson vs. Colts
E. Royal vs. Raiders
K. Winslow vs. Texans [Reply]
Scoring: .1 point for every 2 yards, 6 pts per TD pass, no yardage bonus points, -1 per INT
I'm leaning towards Thigpen, but want opinions.
Thanks
That's a tough one. The Giants like to run the ball alot and Miami's secondary is actually performing better now than they were earlier in the year. I think you have to go with Thiggy for one reason. It's almost a guarantee that we're going to be down during the game at some point in time....and Thiggy is going to have to throw the ball.

Roddy White @ San Diego
Terrell Owens @ Seattle
D. Bowe @ Oakland
Which two do I start? White's sorta banged up, but should play. TO has been a bit of a let down all season, but exploded last week and now he's playing in a Thanksgiving game... of course DBowe is playing in a division game... which two should I go with?
and...
Jones-Drew @ Hou
Forte @ Min
normally Forte is a no brainer for me. But Min is 2nd against the run and Hou is like 22nd or something like that against the run. Plus Jacsonville uses Jones-Drew as a reciever a lot. What do you think? [Reply]
I think you might have to go with White and Owens. I thought Marshall and Royal we're going to blow up on the Raiders last week....but the Raider secondary actually held their own.
Your RB situation is a tough one. This was Forte's stat line against the Vikings in Week 7:
20 attempts for 56 yards and 1 TD. 2.8 ypc average
2 receptions for 17 yards
This was Jones-Drew's stat line against the Texans in Week 4:
7 attempts for 32 yards and 0 TDs. 4.6 ypc average
2 receptions for 17 yards
I think at this point that it's pretty much a toss up. Forte is a work horse who is something like 3rd in the league with percentage of the team's workload. Jones-Drew still splits carries with Taylor but does have the chance to break it for a big gain. So considering that Jones-Drew just played Minnesota and only ran 3 times for 4 yards. I'd say go with Jones-Drew against Houston. [Reply]
So pick my starting lineup. Basically I need to win this week and I need the guy in 1st place to lose...so that I can get the 1st round bye in the playoffs.
Pick 1: McNabb vs. Cardinals, Flacco vs. Bengals
Pick 2: Lynch vs. 49ers, Forte vs. Vikings, Portis vs. Giants, J. Jones vs. Cowboys
Pick 3: A. Johnson vs. Jaguars, Colston vs. Bucs, Bowe vs. Raiders, Royal vs. Jets, Reggie Brown vs. Cardinals, V. Jackson vs. Falcons, K. Winslow vs. Colts.
Pick 1: John Carney vs. Eagles or Joe Nedney vs. Bills
I'm leaning towards this lineup.
Flacco
Lynch
Portis
A. Johnson
M. Colston
D. Bowe
Carney [Reply]

that looks about right.
although... are we sure Carney is playing this week? And why are you leaning away from J. Jones against the C-boys? I'm just thinking that if Portis is banged up a bit (and the Giants D has been pretty solid) he might be an option instead of Portis. Lynch I'd start for sure. [Reply]
