I think all of them have a good shot at "bustin loose" this year.


agreed. I think Bowe is the best of the group, and I realy like Ginn's upside (I never thought I would say that).

If JR can do anything, Javon Walker could be great again. I guess that is a big if though. I have all these guys on my team along with Ocho Cinco and Larry Fitzgerald. I'm hoping I have some really attractive trade bait in the near future.

My starters for this week:

QB M. Bulger
RB M. Jones-Drew
RB L. Maroney
FL D. McFadden
WR T. Owens
WR D. Bowe
TE O. Daniels
K J. Brown
DF Chargers

I'm anxious to see what Bulger is going to do, but overall it's a solid lineup for a 14-team league.

You are going to need some luck with Bulger IMO. He is a shadow of his former self.

Starters this week:

Big Ben
MB3
Bush
Boldin
Roddy White
Witten
Josh Brown
Pittsburgh

It's a 12 team 2ppr league and Bush was actually number 4 on my board. Was ecstatic to get him at 20 overall.

yeah my league is also a ppr. i was weak at RB at the time so I traded Braylon Edwards for MJD. I've learned that while rb's aren't always going to be the highest scoring players, it's fricking hard to find one mid year. Right now I have 5, and Kenny Watson is my lowest ranked. I'm pretty solid at rb. I also have a good trio of receivers with TO, Bowe, and Chambers, with young guys like Eddie Royal and Ginn on the bench until they develope.

Question.

Should I start Michael Turner over Maroney this week? I have Addai as my other starter. Let me know what you think. Tanks.

I wouldn't hesitate to start Turner honestly. Maroney had 9 games...NINE GAMES last year in my league with single digit points. Only 7 games in double digits for a running back?


ETA: The Pats believed in Maroney so much that they went out and got Lamont Jordan in the offseason. I fully expect Jordan to be the starter at some point this season.

I have Bulger as well and I'm getting really cold feet. I actually picked up JT Osullivan to start this week since I have such little faith with Bulger going against the Eagles D.

Lynch is GTG. Put Roy Williams in for Ocho...he's ranked higher anyway. He's going against the Falcons who don't have Hall anymore.

Galloway is known as the Saint killer. The Saints D sucked last year, but added a lot this year. I'd still have to go with Graham against the Saints. Damn...Galloway could frick this D up too and the Saints are going to score a lot as well which could force Tampa to throw. Tough one...
