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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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 > 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.

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.
