Not sure about this one. I guarantee one of them will outscore Vick.

Thinking superstud McFadden over Arian Foster. Going up against Schaub/AJ though.

I'm considering starting Brandon Jackson vs. the Bills over Mendy & Bradshaw. I'm still waivering though, plus I have him on the block and want the league to see what his projections are for this week. 
Wrigley

But what about always playing your studs?
Kuz

I wouldn't do this. I think the Vikes will lean heavily on AP this weekend. Romo should have a better game..

Johnson has not had under 100yds rushing since week 5 of last year. When he gets 20+ carries, he has only failed to break 100yds 2 times out of 12. I don't care if PIT hasn't allowed a 100 yd rusher since the days of Jesus, I'll put my money on the Light Blue Jesus.
YOUR KIDDING RIGHT?????

Really considering starting BMW over S. Smith North this weekend. Prolly switch back because of Nicks ankle though...
I KNOW NOTHING.....but think Manning bowl II will be a shootout.

Benching the 2nd all time TD reception leader (Randy Moss) for the 3rd all time TD reception leader (Terrell Owens).
You guys scared me with all this Revis Island crap.

Right now I Naanee and Breston in over Harvin in one league and Cotch in over PH in another. I want to see some PH produce before I put him back in.

49er defense is a mess, and you would bench a stud on a Monday Night game? Never bench your stud, and always get as many Sunday Night and Monday Night guys as possible.

Colts can be run on and Houston laid a blueprint. Not sayin NYG can follow the layout but they should try. It keeps P Man off the field.

Not saying I wouldn't but I think D Will blows up this week
kutta

I'm hearing that a lot. I sure hope he does, but I am really torn who to start.My WRs are very weak so I'm hosed if I make the wrong choice.

Peeps Inc.

My thoughts exactly, it's week two boys just run the studs out there.

No offense, but how is this going against the grain? Every fantasy site I can see has Mike Vick ranked ahead of Brady this week and some very signficantly.You have Tom Brady going up against the Jets and Mike Vick against the Lions. I'm sorry to say but if you were to go with Tom Brady over Mike Vick, that is going against the grain because just about EVERYBODY has Vick over Brady and Vick over a lot of QB's this week because of who he is playing and how he looked at the end of the GB game.Winky the tunnel ferret said:I'm benching Tom Brady for Michael Vick.

Thinking and doing are 2 different things. How do you bench Foster after how he looked last week, sounds like you're trying to get too cute to me.

That's a tough one, but McCoy should be solid. Forte stinks and he lit up Detroit in the receiving part of the game, McCoy should post solid numbers, it's hard not to imagine him having a "good game" agains the Detroit Lions.Gore should bounce back but to what degree. Again a tough call but I have a rule and that's I don't bench my starters when they face the Detroit Lions D and it works out more than not. If Gore does out produce McCoy, it shoudln't be by much. If Gore and SF stink as bad as they did last week, it could cost you a close loss with the point differential that McCoy may put up.Romofan said:

sounds weird but that is going with the grain.I'm benching Vince Young and Jason Campbell for Vick. not exactly earth shattering. Vick's a good start this week.I am benching DeSean Jackson for Roddy White and Hakeem Nicks, and going with Brandon Jackson over Felix Jones.Winky the tunnel ferret said:I'm benching Tom Brady for Michael Vick.

Santana Moss or Pierre Garcon over Randy Moss.
Revis, Moss complaining, @ New Meadowlands Stadium...just not getting a good vibe playing Stud Randy Moss this week.

No way Vick outscores Brady this week. "Everybody" might have Vick ranked higher this week, but there's no way the majority of Brady/Vick owners are actually going to start Vick instead.No offense, but how is this going against the grain?

I have Santana in over Randy also. Debating McFadden v. STL over Mendenhall @Ten.Santana Moss or Pierre Garcon over Randy Moss.Revis, Moss complaining, @ New Meadowlands Stadium...just not getting a good vibe playing Stud Randy Moss this week.

I just grabbed Tenn DST (dropped MIA), thinking Tenn will stack box against Mendy and force Dixon to throw (plus 1st home game for Tenn)......IMO I'd go McFadden (M. Bush will be limited or not play at all).I have Santana in over Randy also. Debating McFadden v. STL over Mendenhall @Ten.Santana Moss or Pierre Garcon over Randy Moss.Revis, Moss complaining, @ New Meadowlands Stadium...just not getting a good vibe playing Stud Randy Moss this week.

Well the majority of Brady/Vick owners had better start Vick. You do realize Jay Cutler outscored Brady last week? Vick will have 100+ rushing this week easy.

Talk about crazy media hype. Vick hasn't started a game sine before he went to prison, and you think he's going to outscore Brady? He won't come close to 100 yards rushing, and he doesn't have the weapons and isn't accurate enough to out pass Brady.Everyone is all over Vick's jock because he came in last week against a team that game planned all week for Kolb. Detroit may still be a bottom feeder in this league, but they had a week to prepare for Vick and you know they will make him beat them with his arm.No way Vick outscores Brady this week.
