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

I love your RB's. I go with Jackson and don't change anything else. I project Davis and Jackson as fairly equal overall. That said, the matchups scream Jackson. Bills = good defense. 49ers = no so good.

1 point for every 50 passing yards, 20 rushing/receiving yards, all TDs are 6.

Why is Clayton not penciled into your starting lineup on a weekly basis, especially when you're starting Kennison over him.

Also, I don't think Westbrook should be in red for Week 1, Priest and Barber have the more favorable matchups AND theyre both better RBs.

Atlanta's D &gt; NYJ's D?

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

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't get this thinking. Plummer was 6th in attempts and 4th in yards last season. Lelie and Watts (3rd wideout) are both improved I don't see Shanahan/Kubiak throwing less. They kept like 5 wideouts and 5 tight ends on the roster. As a fantasy QB Plummer has questions but as a QB/team for your fantasy wideouts don't u love Plummer and the Broncos?

As a fantasy owner, I'm not a real big Plummer fan. He always seems to end up with passable numbers, but he has way too many below average and several awful weeks every year. I wouldn't mind having him on my roster as a #2, but I'd hate to have him as a #1, especially in a league that gives decent value to QB's. Is he going to have some absolutely terrific weeks every year? Yes. Is he going to look completely bush-league several times a year? Most definitely. I don't want to be the guy that has to predict when he's going to have a great week and when he's going to suck. This is still a guy that has thrown more INT's than TD's for his career.

I think the way you've got it is about right. I'm in the same boat as you -- hoping R. Brown establishes himself early. He'll have every opportunity in the first four weeks. Bettis has been ruled out, so that's not a consideration. Too many question marks/matchup probs with the WR flex options.

Leave the QB -- Griese is your play this week. I love both Williams and Coles this week. GB is going to give up a ton of points this year, and until KC proves they can stop anybody I refuse to believe it. However, I may lean toward Coles because he's got a better QB, and Detroit has more options. Coles should see more balls come his way.

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

if priest goes down lj is my favorite back. stephen davis will likely put up huge numbers early before he gets injured. i guess you are stuck with tiki for now as well.

for recievers hines is a starter and the rest pretty close.
