These QB’s all are horrible starts to try to squeak out a win with. Let’s start with your three you are currently debating.

1. Matthew Stafford. I do not like this play due to his health. Returning from injury, and being a rookie are two negatives, and the St. Louis Defense is not as bad as people would like to think. Their offense kills them.

2. Marc Bulger. He is as good, or as bad as his back up. He has no one to throw the ball to at the WR position, and dearly misses Torry Holt and Issac Bruce. I would not start him either.

3. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick has a ton of tools around him to use, other than an offensive line! Houston should take a lead causing the Bills to have to use the pass game to play catch up. In the old Rams offense, Fitzpatrick had a few huge games, and out of your three, would be my safest start.

Aside from your big three, Derek Anderson blows against anyone anymore. I like Alex Smith’s upside in a run supported offense, just not against Indi. If Jake Delhomme is not benched, he could end up with a nice game against Arizona, as their defense will concentrate on the two headed running attack of the Panthers. Plus the Panthers will be playing from behind as well. Chad Henne is consistent, but leaves the offense too much for the wildcat, plus Pat White will start to see some time. Not to mention, the Jets D will send the house at Henne. Vince Young has a chance to explode…. The question is, will he? I picked him up to hold on my bench in the event that he does have a big game this week.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other issues or questions.

You are right with the two Colts. My reasoning is this… Collie is stealing Gonzalez’s points, when Gonzalez comes back, he will be your starter in this group at the bottom of your list. It is unknown when exactly Gonzalez will return, so I would want you to hold the more valuable of the two. Hicks stock increases if Manningham does not play… Which is yet to be determined, but it looks like he will play this weekend. Let me know what else happens from here!

I am debating between getting Fitzpatrick, Stafford, or Bulger for this week as the only other options do not have a good match up.

Point system for our league is as follows:
0.1 point per rushing yard
0.1 point per recieving yard
0.05 point per passing yard
1 point per reception

6 points for each rushing TD
6 points for each receiving TD
4 points for each passing TD
-1 points for each INT

2 points for each rushing extra point
2 points for each receiving extra point
1 point for each passing extra point

Here are the available QB’s in the order I have them ranked:

Quarterback Team Opponent Total Points for the year
M. Stafford DET vs STL   61.7
M. Bulger STL at DET   49.5
R. Fitzpatrick BUF vs HOU   21.95
Vince Young TEN vs JAC -0.4
Alex Smith SFO at IND   22.9
J. Russell OAK at SDC   48.75
C. Henne MIA at NYJ   43.55
J. Delhomme CAR at ARI   65.7
D. Anderson CLE at CHI   37.95

Stats for in Stafford does not start:
Quarterback Team Opponent Total Points for the year
D. Culpepper DET vs STL   25.6

Any help would be apprecitated!!

Sorry, F. Jones was picked up. So, i suppose you’re only move would be to drop Hicks (and not Collie) for A. Gonzalez. i know collie on higher scoring team but if i get a. gonzalez, that would be two on colts instead of one on colts and one on giants.

thanks.

You’re prompt responses are greatly appreciated. I agreed with you comment about playing too many Dallas players, but, until I have another rb better than mario to start, i have no choice, and i cant bench witten or austin. i did just trade colston for ray rice, as i neeed a rb.

You already suggested dropping Hicks for A. Gonzalez. i’m surprised you wouldnt drop Collie before Hicks. Would you drop someone for Felix Jones (another Dallas player!). So, that’s two drops, if i get A. Gonzalez and Jones. Maybe drop Stewart and Hicks or Collie for Gonzalez and Jones? Please let me know.

QB Aaron Rodgers,
RB Marion Barber,
RB Ray Rice,
RB/WR Miles Austin,
WR Larry Fitzgerald,
TE Jason Witten,
D/ST Vikings D/ST,
Need a kicker, will worry about it later

Bench Percy Harvin,
Bench Rashard Mendenhall,
Bench Brian Westbrook,Sidney Rice,
Bench Hakeem Nicks,
Bench Jonathan Stewart,
Bench Jamaal Charles,

Thanks for writing in. Yes, I do like your team…

I would find a different defense this week if there is one out there. I expect Minne. to give up nearly 30 points.

I would drop Hakeem Nicks for Anthony Gonzalez. Nicks is a #3 on a team which commits to the run first. Gonzalez is a #2 on a pass heavy team.

There is so much offensive talent in Dallas, that it is unknown which of their three backs or three WR’s or TE will explode on any given week. I do like Barber’s match up against the Seahawks this week.

Greene will be hit or miss, but I do like his chances better than Stewart’s chances against Arizona’s #1 rush defense. I expect Arizona to take an early lead, causing the Panthers to have to pass. Greene’s touches will be limited as well, due to the time of possession that the Dolphins usually command.

My only other concern is that you are starting 3 Cowboys…. This is great if they score 45 points. This will be your downfall if the Cowboys offense does not show up. I would be super glued to my TV on the Dallas game if I were you with this line up!

Brian Westbrook may be a better start than Greene, but it all depends on Westbrook’s status leading into this weekend. Keep Greene in your line up, but if at the last minute, the Eagles release that Westbrook is fine and will play, get him in!

Hope this helps and check back in with us every week for your fantasy needs!
