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

[McGahee]

I'm not saying Barlow is great, but I wouldn't bench any bona fide starter out of spite just because he sucked last year in favor of some Parker guy I've never heard of.

[scott8]

Start Parker and its not close.

[Sluss]

Parker will have 20 carries

Barlow will be lucky to get 10

Start Parker

[Matt Williams]

How about this one?
Griese VS Minnesota or Collins VS New England? If it were Oct. or Nov., I would go w/ Griese but I am thinking New England may not be as sharp now as they will later on in the season.

I'm guessing you're not real thrilled with your RB's?

Manning at QB, of course. Brown and Green at RB, Ward, Harrison, and D. Bennett at WR.

Yep, I'm hurting at RB. It's a 12-team keeper league, and since I had a good year last year, and traded away my first round pick, my first pick this year was #21, and we are pulling just from rookies and other players not on rosters. So I didn't have much to work with. I've been trying to swing a Lamont Jordan trade for awhile--hopefully the Pats shut him down tonight and I can get him.

I like Kennison over Bennett this week--I don't like Bennett versus Pittsburgh.

Standard scoring. Simple question so I am ignoring the bold/red thing.

Who do I start as my 3rd receiver: Lee Evans, Donte Stallworth, or Justin McCareins?

I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. New England has had a lot of turnover on defense this offseason, and while I think they'll eventually adjust and overcome it, it may take some time.

McCareins against the Chiefs defense. I would wait for Evans and the Bills offense to get an identity under Losman.

Collins. I don't care who's on Moss, he's going to beat them and I think he'll be looking to have a big first game.
