On the official Seahawks depth chart, Morris is the #1. That, and the fact that i think Morris will the a majority of the goal line looks is why i will go with him, even though jones will get the better end of a 60-40 deal.

Selvin Young, because Rudi Johnson is going to take away carries from Kevin Smith.

The other one id go Hines Ward

Thanks...really on the fence about Young and Smith. Den always uses a committee and Rudi just arrived in Det.

Julius Jones or Mo Morris. I'm going with Morris as of today


Mo Morris is still available in my league as is Jerious Norwood. My RBs are my weakness. You think one of these guys is worth picking up? I've got Ray Rice, who I wouldn't mind seeing in a game or 2 before dropping, as my 3rd RB.

I heard that McGahee is a game-time decision. Problem is that Flacco could fumble the snap before he has time to hand it off. I think Smith will be back under center as soon as he recovers from all the weight he lost with tonsilitis (sp?). Bottom line, if you can wait until the last minute, Rice might end up doing something this week. I wouldn't want Flacco throwing too much if I had another option.

I have 3 solid RB, but I can only start 2:

Adrian Peterson
Frank Gore
Michael Turner

ESPN and Yahoo are projecting Gore and Turner to have better weeks than Peterson, but it is tough for me to sit my #2 overall draft pick. What should I do?

Tough choice. I think Rivers has no chance of having a great game, but I also think he has no chance of having a bad one. Favre could look great, but I could also see him throwing for 160 yards, 1 TD, and 3 INTs.

I'm going to pick Favre on this one.

This is my first year in FF so help a brother out.

We play 2 QBs each week which I guess is different from most.

I have Brees as one qb but have to choose between Vince Young and Matt Ryan; both suck.

Also who goes between Larry Johnson (against the Pats) or Jamal Lewis (against the cowboys). My other RB is Kevin Smith against the Falcons which I like.

Who do you like as my second WR behind Plaxico?
Chambers, Muhammed, or Stallworth.

Thanks. Little late to the party on this FF stuff but appears it could be fun.

Never sit your #1 pick. AP will be fine. If you play AP every week, you're going to end the season with more points than if you play the other two. If you try to guess match ups, you'll drive yourself crazy and AP will be on your bench the week he breaks the NFL singe-game rushing record.

I think Gore at ARI or Turner at DET is about six in one hand and half a dozen in the other. My gut says choose Gore for a bunch subtle reasons.

Chambers and it's not even close. Gates isn't healthy yet, so they will be throwing to Chambers a lot. I am starting Chambers next to Andre Johnson in front of Greg Jennings and Roy Williams.

Yeah, I just picked up Mo Maurice as well. I had to drop my back up Defense this week to do it. (Pittsburg). I hope Maurice becomes the feature back......I don't think much of Jones.

Sit Smith. Play Lewis and Johnson.
