Default Who do you bench? (Fantasy Football)

This doesn't belong in the other thread for reasons that will appear obvious as you read, so don't give me a hard time.

My league's rules, which you should be familiar with already, are odd. The important parts for this post are as follows:

* We have very deep rosters.
* We activate 20 players, and that activation lasts for weeks 1 through 3.
* Each week, our highest performing PK and QB and our two highest performing RBs and WRs score points for us.

I'm already starting the following 18 players.
PK (3): Vinatieri, Nugent, T. Peterson
QB (4): Vick, Brady, Collins, Pennington
RB (5): Tiki, Rudi, KJones, CBrown, WParker
WR (6): Bennett, Boldin, Branch, DJackson, MJenkins, McCardell, SSmith

The other 9 I'm dividing up into two categories -- clear bench riders and possible starters.

On the Bench
Lawrence Tynes (because he may get cut, and I don't need four PKs), Trent Dilfer, Frank Gore, Chester Taylor, Chris Perry, Mark Bradley

The Bubble
Charles Rogers and Donte Stallworth

So, who do you activate? Is there anyone I'm activating that should be benched? Assuming not:

The Case for Charles -- He's really freaking talented and is arguably the best WR on a team that is going to have a lot of shootouts, including a potential one week 1.

The Case for Stallworth -- Rogers is on bye week 3 (assuming he's not on IR by then), and Stallworth finished strong last year.

So, you be the judge.
