I will make this a regular thread this year.

Week 2:

I have Reggie Bush (vs. Packers) and Dominic Rhodes (vs. Texans). Whom should I start tomorrow along with Tatum Bell (vs. KC)? I think Reggie Bush based on his performance last week, and this week versus the Packers. Rhodes shares too many carries with Addai, even though the Colts will probably run a lot.

I am also starting Ben Roethlisberger (vs. Jac) over Chad Pennington (vs. NE) because I think last week was a fluke with Pennington and the Pats are still good in the secondary.

Thanks.
 
Bush vs. Rhodes is a tough call, but I'd go with Bush. He did very well in his first game vs a relatively tough D, so I think we'll really see him show his stuff vs the Packer's very weak D. I'm a big Bush fan and think he'll be the next Sayers.

I think Pennington is really back in top form, but that's a tough matchup vs NE, but I'd still go with him over Ben in his season debut.
 
I am going to go with Bush and Bell. Rhodes looked pathetic last week, even if it was against the League's BEST Defense! ;)

Will decide on QBs tomorrow morning. Don't trust Pennington...
 
I had the same QB problem last weekend and I am glad that I started Pennington over Rothlesberger.

Whom did you start and how did you make out?
 
I started Rhodes and Bell.

I lost, because my RBs suck.

Here is my team:

QB-Brett Favre GB
QB-Chad Pennington Jets
QB-Ben Rothlisberger Steelers

RB-Reggie Bush Saints
RB-Dominic Rhodes Colts
RB-Tatum Bell Broncos
RB-Brandon Jacobs The mighty Giants

WR-Steve Smith Panthers
WR-Darrell Jackson Seattle
WR-Larry Fitzgerald Cardinals
WR-Terry Glenn Cowgirls

TE-Dallas Clark Colts

K-Matt Stover Ravens

DEF-Indianapolis

I am screwed when the Colts have their bye week. My other problem is that my Running Backs all share their carries with other good backs.

My starting lineup this week will be:

QB-Favre vs. Detroit :thumbup:
RB-Dominic Rhodes vs. Jacksonville :confused:
RB-Tatum Bell vs. New England :confused:
WR-Fitzgerald vs. St. Louis :thumbup:
WR-Steve Smith vs. Buccaneers :thumbup: if he plays
TE-Dallas Clark vs. Jacksonville :thumbup:
K-Matt Stover :thumbup:
DEF-Indianapolis :thumbup:

Please let me know if you have a better idea!

I ended up starting Reggie Bush and Brandon Jacobs. Thank God Favre kicked ass for me this week. I can't believe he was an undrafted free agent in week two this year! I won this week and will start Tatum Bell and Reggie Bush from now on.
 
Well, I am 2-1 this year and second in my league in points overall.

This week I will be starting:

QB Brett Favre vs. Eagles :confused:
WR Steve Smith vs. Saints :thumbup:
WR Terry Glenn vs. Titans :confused:
RB Reggie Bush vs. Panthers
RB Dominic Rhodes vs. Jets
TE Dallas Clark vs. Jets
K Matt Stover vs. Chargers

My two other RBs are on Bye this week.

My two dilemmas are whether to start Larry Fitzgerald over Terry Glenn. I like Terry Glenn against the Titans instead of Fitzgerald vs. the Rams.

Also, Pennington could be great against the Colts' secondary.

What do ya'll think?
 
Now I'm 3-1!

This week I am starting:

QB Brett Favre vs. Rams
WR Steve Smith vs. Browns
WR Larry Fitzgerald vs. Chiefs
RB Reggie Bush vs. Tampa Bay
RB Tatum Bell vs. Baltimore :thumbdn:
TE Dallas Clark vs. Titans
K Matt Stover vs. Broncos
DEF Indianapolis vs. Titans

Anyone think I should start another player?
