I need to start one: Ryan Grant vs. Atl, Julius Jones vs. NYG, or Deangelo vs. KC

I'm leaning toward Grant though he has been a huge disappointment but the matchup is good, Jones has been my second starter and has done very well but has a horrible matchup, I like Deangelo b/c he is playing KC, any help would be appreciated.

Cassell is the way I'm leaning, but every time I try and make these decisions I make the wrong one, but Ben hasn't been 100% healthy lately.

Grant would be a solid choice since they will probably try to protect Rodgers and throw a bunch of quick routes, screens and run the ball. This would mean that will probably get 20 touches vs a bad rushing defense.

Julius Jones had his two good games vs SF and StL (two of the worst rushing defenses in the league) and they are playing against a well-rested NYG 7th ranked rush defense) defense. but he will get a lot of carries.

Deangelo will get carries vs KC's putrid rushing defense. But I have a feeling Delhomme will be throwing the ball a pretty good bit plus how many carries will Stewart get from him?

With all of this said, I would lean toward Grant (simply a gut feeling on my part). Good Luck!

3 ...

thanks for the insight, all along it was grant or williams, i think williams could have a good day too, but grant should get over 20 touches

VooDoo/ TigerFan/ Anyone Else!

Here is my last minute desperation post since you are around giving advice:)

1) Eddie Royal starting over Bobby Engram?
2) Carson Palmer sound good as starter over Jon Kitna?

I have a quick two questions while I try to help answer all of yours before kickoff.

2 different leagues:

1. Palmer vs Dallas or Orton vs Detroit (can't find anything conclusive on how bad Palmer's elbow is.

2. Rodgers vs Atl or Orton vs Detroit (same thing with Rodgers)

can anyone do a little research so I can give my opinion on the other questions? Thanks

Starting Palmer since it is past the deadline to change the roster. Kitna probably will light it up

VooDoo,
Here is a Bengals message board where they kind of throw some sources (about extent of Palmer's injury) around...

Starting Rodgers is safe bet after the ESPN ticker stated he would start as of a few minutes ago.

Roy Williams (if Kitna starts he should see some action)
Josh Reed (gut feeling vs AZ)
Andre Johnson (you drafted him for a reason and who knows when he will break out with 130yds and 2 TD's)

Kevin Walter - he is too inconsistent for me thus far but could be good.
Bobby Engram - i would like to see him play a complete game before tossing bouquets just yet, but the possibility is there.

Now I am torn between Engram and Williams, I guess I like Williams vs CHI, but not by much.

I'd go with Rodgers here. He did terrible after the injury last week, but that was vs. the Bucs defense. After a week of therapy and a pre-game cortisone shot, he should be good to go.

Chicago likes to run, so Orton is guaranteed to have 170 yards and 1 TD, with possibly 1 turnover.

I'd say Rodgers' upside this week is greater than that, even if he throws 2 picks.

Kitna probably (from what I am hearing)
I would stay with Royal. Just my opinion.

Palmer has been killing me with this feel good/oh now it hurts shite. I am benching his arse

I am sure he will lose sleep over my decision.
