I am sure you don't have to have your line up in any time soon. I'd wait a few days to make that decision.

IMO, Turner, Peterson, and Forte. Hard to sit Slaton against the Colts, but I wouldn't sit Manning just because Orton was playing the Lions.

I'm leaning towards Ronnie and Reggie b/c I feel the vikings will fall behind early and rely on their passing game to catch up. I also think Reggie will shine since its Prime Time. As far as Ronnie Brown, he's had two weeks rest and is playing the chargers, the team that Reggie had a field day against...anyone else agree?
I don't. The Saints are not that good on D, and the Chargers have been decent against the run. Besides, I have a strict rule against sitting my stud players based on match up issues.

Yeah, that is who I was going to start. I guess I needed some reassurance on the Slaton thing.

Start Graham or Grant?

Grant has what should be a good matchup with ATL but his O line sucks balls.

J. Campbell @ Philly or P. Manning @ Hou?

I've played Campbell the past 2 weeks (1 was a bye for Manning) and gotten more production. Maybe Peyton returns to his old self after the bye?

Also, need someone for my flex:

Cooley
McClain
Sammy
F Jones

I would go with Graham, BUT if Rodgers is not able to play, they will use Grant for everything possible, so I would keep an eye on that situation.

i have grant and gonna start him. i think if rogers starts they still wanna take it easy on the qb, so they will pound the rock and the o-line knows it has to. if they start flynn, they will stack the line

anthony gonzalez (Manning vs HOU D)

Haven't read any of this thread, but if you need WR help sprint to the waiver wire and pick up Chris Henry. Unless you play in a 5 man league, which most on here seem to looking at their teams, Henry should be the best option on the wire. He just came back from a 4 game suspension and knows the offense already. I don't think he'll do much this week, but should be gtg after that imo.

you dont think pats have schemed the whole week with cassell to get it cranked up? i was thinking rudi would be ok to start considering he usually played in cincey against ravens, pitt d's... so chicago would be nothing new for him, but i know this the lions

I don't blame you. Either way, I think Graham and/or Grant will be fine this week. I think Grant will see the ball a TON, but I am sure the ATL D will be keying on him all game (not sure if that really matters ). I do like Graham vs DEN D though as long as he doesn't keep splitting carries w/ Dunn.

Gonna try this again...
I have two college fantasy football questions:

QB
P White (WV) vs Rutgers or
J Freeman (Kansas St) vs TX Tech

&

RB
J(Quizz) Rodgers (Oregon St.) vs Utah or
M Thigpen (Indiana) vs MN

Not as astute at college fantasy as NFL, but I'd have to start White against Rutgers. Looking at the stats, it seems Thigpen is boom or bust. He seems to get 2-3 yards per carry unless he breaks a long one. 2 games he had 100 and 113, but he broke 67 and 78 yarders. In the other games he had less than 55 yards combined. Unless you think he's going to break a long run or two, I'd start Rodgers.
