Plummer at QB, I guess. Better matchup. Ward and Bennett at WR. Minny at Def -- I like the Minny D this year.

Very nice job on your RB's BTW.

I would say Deuce, but it's tough. Portis torched the Bears on the ground last year, but didn't score. I just hate the Skins offense, and the Bears defense is healthy and very good. The Panthers are good on defense also, but IMO the Saints are better on O than the Skins.

I think mcnair is a better matchup because they are likely to be losing.

Re: ***The OFFICIAL who should I start FF WEEK 1 thread ***
 

Miami's defense is terrrrrrible (Ranked 30th on rotowire.com). Pitts defense is ranked #4. I would definitely start Plummer here. I'm starting Lelie and Smith on the anticipation of a big day in the air against that weak defense.

I understand the theory, that Pittsburgh will drop to a prevent defense and McNair will be throwing often to catch up. I have difficulty applying that though, as in many cases once a team goes away from running the ball and throws it all day, they play into the defense's hand. I think that spells trouble against an opportunistic defense like the Steelers. And also in that scenario, with the Steelers ball control offense, McNair probably won't even see the field very often in the second half. I see a lot of 3-and-outs followed by 7 minute drives by the Steelers.

Let's not get crazy -- it's still Plummer.

6 pt TD rush/rec, 4pt passing TD, 1 pt rec, 1pt 5 comp,1 pt 10 yards rush rec, 1pt 25 yards passing

QB Drew Brees vs. Dallas
David Carr @ Buffalo

RB Priest Holmes vs. NYJ
<font color="red">Steven Jackson </font> vs. SF
<font color="red">Dom Davis </font> @ Buf

WR Reggie Wayne @ Bal
L Coles @ KC
<font color="red">K Colbert </font> vs. NO
K McCardell vs. DAL

TE LJ Smith @ ATL

Pretty sure I'm going with Jackson at RB just seeing if anyone can talk me out of it.
