I can pick 6 of the following to start:
John Abraham vs. Lions
Andre Carter vs. NYG
Aaron Schobel vs. SEA
Jason Taylor vs. NYG
Justin Tuck vs. WAS
Keith Bulluck vs. JAG
Karlos Dansby vs. SF
James Farrior vs. HOU
Shawne Merriman vs. CAR
Shaun Phillips vs. CAR
Adailius Thomas vs. KC
Wow, that's a helluva lineup there. Well done.
I think you have to pencil Merriman in the lineup every week until he shows he's too limited to help. I'd hold on Taylor and Bulluck until the health and recent history declare themselves one way or the other. Abraham, Schobel, Dansby and Thomas are all likely to get good opportunity against shaky protection. I'm a little leery of Dansby, but I think the other three have to start.
Andre Carter had two very good games against the Giants last season, as did Tuck.
So, I think it's Merriman, Schobel, Thomas, Carter, Tuck and Abraham. Dansby would be my seventh choice narrowly over Farrior and Phillips.
Thanks for the help Jene. We had an auction for the first time and I did well by nominating IDP's early while everyone was holding onto their money for offensive players.
