DISCLAIMER: One thing this thread isn't or should be, is a WDIS thread. This isn't supposed to be a call for help. This is supposed to be a thread for people to post the tough lineup decisions they've ALREADY MADE or are expecting to make. Joe has already gone on record to say this thread has value but will be on a short leash if a bunch of us turn this into WDIS questions. Please post your calls, not your questions.

Here's what I've got in the cooker this week:

Matt Jones over Deion Branch, Chris Henry - This one is especially tough because Jones burned me for a bagel in my lineup last week, while Henry went off on my bench. Fortunately it didn't cost me the 'W' but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that much of the preseason lustre on Matt Jones is starting to wear off. I'll give him another play this week, but if the results are pedestrian I'm going to demote him to my bench.

Chris Brown over Leon Washington - My Tiki replacements are a little weak. Leon's time is coming, but not against the Colts. Brown should start, and Henry will vulture TDs and I'll be darn happy to see Tiki back next week. Blech!

Dolphins over Bengals, Saints - Carr worries me, because he's showing signs of being a solid garbage time QB. Mind you, it's almost impossible to imagine the Dolphins blowing anybody out at this point. Patriots should be able to put some points on the board and move the ball against the Bengals. Slight edge to the Dolphins here.

Chad Pennington over Alex Smith, Rex Grossman - Sometimes it's really hard to have a trio of QBs that are so equal in value and production. You can make a case to start any of these guys this week. I'm leaning towards Chad just because the Colts are likely to keep them in pass mode for much of the game and their run game has been invisible.

So what are you stewing over this week?

 
Chris Henry over Jamal Lewis in a flex spot - 0.5pt per reception.

Henry should be open all day against the #3 corner for NE, Lewis is going up against a tough SD run defence and doesn't catch any passes

 
I am starting:

Vick over Kitna: This one is tough because of the way the Saints played Vick last week and Martz going home wanting to prove something to STL. Kitna has been pretty good all season so far.

Warrick Dunn over Clinton Portis. The Jags defense seems just too strong. I am a Skins homer, but the Jags run defense looks damn good. I am hoping Dunn at home will get him back on track again.

 
Michael Robinson over Jones-Drew as RB2 behind Portis :X

I screwed up my bye week coverage, so I'm missing Willie Parker and T. Bell this week. My team was already off to a bad start, and I don't see this helping.

 
12 team non-ppr league

vick over kitna

jennings over troy williamson

deuce mccallister over laurence maroney

eric johnson over alge crumpler - this one may change....

 
I have SA (hurt), FWP (bye), Dillon, Maroney & M. Drew.

I'm considering starting both Dillon & Maroney. Can you believe it? :confused:

 
Thomas Jones over Leon Washington and Jerius Norwood at RB#2 (Bell and Parker on Bye). Tempted to go with Washington as he will on the field a lot as the JETS fall behind and he catch dump off passes. TJ is still the guy though and has a better shot at seeing the end zone

Reggie Brown over Eddie Kennison at WR#4. Like the GB matchup on Monday night. RB just missed having a huge game last week and I'm assuming that Stallworth and Chad are still a bit banged up.

 
Frye over Brees

Chester Taylor over Gore and Ahman Green

Jennings over either Mason or Evans (not a PPR league)

I have changed my mind at least twice for each of those decisions above...

what does "WDIS" mean? Why Do I Suck? because i could really use a thread about that.favre over warner. i think kurt will come back strong, but favre is the hotter hand.

 
i cant freakin decide.....

chris henry, greg jennings or marion barber in a flex spot.

or i could trade jennings and barber for terry glenn and start him in the flex.

i cant make up my mind and its driving me crazy!

 
Greg Jennings over Derrick Mason in a PPR league (Eagles #2 CB is very suspect and Favre will be throwing a lot on MNF)

Deshaun Foster (vs NO) over Thomas Jones (vs Sea) and Jamal Lewis (vs SD)

Jax D (vs Brunell) over SD def (vs Balt) ..... though I keep changing my mind on this one :cry:

 
It's a weekly problem for me. Every week I must choose 2 RB between Gore, Dunn, JJones, Foster, and then I must choose 3 WR between Owens, RMoss, LColes, Stallworth, LEvans, & Mason :eek:

I guess it's a good problem to have. Nice to have depth. But damn and can drive you nuts!!

Especially when you start the wrong guys and bench the right ones!

 
I'm starting Drew Bennett over Deion Branch. I'm eager to start Branch with Alexander out, but I'm waiting to see him start picking up the offense.

 
Keyshawn over Matt Jones

A few people here have been going with Jones, but I'm still feeling the burn from the goose-egg last week. Plus, now that the Carolina offense has gotten the band back together, I'm looking forward to good things.

 
Here's mine:

Pennington over Hasselback & Frye: Pennington playing Indy and will need to throw all day long to keep up with the scoring, while Hasselback is playing the always tough Chicago Defense.

Eric Johnson over Chris Henry (Flex): This is totally just a hunch and with me already having Chad Johnson in the lineup, I hate playing multiple receivers from the same team.

Cleveland DT over Carolina: They are playing the worst team in the NFL, too good of a match-up to pass on.

 
Starting Vick (ARZ) over Bledsoe (TEN). Really this comes down to a "Vick had a bad Week 3. If I take him out this week, he'll blow up." So I'm sticking with Vick.

Starting CJ, Housh, and Driver over Greg Jennings. I keep telling myself this is a no-brainer, but Jennings is hot, playing a banged-up Philly secondary, and CJ's 1-11 last week really ticked me off. Regardless, I'm holding steady with my "starters."

 
Starting Deuce over Jamal at RB2

Starting Tony G over Winslow

Starting Eddie Kennison over WR-eligible Michael Robinson- this one's been giving me trouble.
