It's for a flex position (Rb/Wr/Te). Choices are:

-TJ Duckett (vsMin)
-Donald Driver (vsChi)
-Joe Jurevicious (vs Nor)
-David Givens (vs Jets)
I am leaning towards Jurevicious or Driver. My starting rb's are Rudi J, McGahee and Mike Bell. Harrison and T. Glenn are my Wr's.


Also, have a tough Choice at Tight End between Chris Cooley and Ben Watson. I am leaning towards Watson. Thanks in advance guys.

[esaboo_pa]

I don't trust GB Offensive right now from what I saw in the preseason.

I would go with Jurevicious and Givens.. just my 2 cents

[The General]

I wouldn't put much faith in Driver myself, but now I said that, fire away.

[MadCapper]

JURO!

[EagleFan5]

driver is the smart choice..he'll come up big this weekend

[Lawrence]

hmm, some mixed opinions here. Will wait to hear a few more, but leaning towards Jurevicious as of now. Thanks guys and keep em comin.

[Hache Man]

I am in your league Lawrence.......... No opinions here.........

[winkyduck]

when in doubt ALWAYS go with the RB

he is the only one assured of touching the ball the most this can score more points

[Lawrence]

haha, thanks guys, but I had the shit all wrong anyways. I can start 3 of EITHER rb, wr, and te. So I am starting the 3 rb's (Bell, Rudi, Willis) and 2 wr's (Marvin, Glenn) and Watson as my TE. Thanks for the feedback, and feel free to chime in.

[Btwizzy]

I know you have figured out your starting line up, but just to throw this out there driver is for real. He is the only target farve has, and most likely the Packers will be down in the game. Driver is an excellent fantasy reviever.

[Tamer]

who to start....

Gore vs Cardinals, Westbrooke vs Houston or T. Jones versus Greenbay?

ALready starting Rudi Johnson for sure, but need to start 2 rbs total.

Thanks, Tamer

[The_Man]

Gotta go with Watson over Cooley.

Watson to have a huge year especially with Branch out.

Watson and Brady have good chemistry now and watson knows the offense package well.

in multiple interviews favre has admitted to throwing the ball to a covered driver instead of throwing it to other guys that have been open. favre said it has to do with his deep trust in driver and the two of them knowing what the other is thinking. i like jennings a lot and think he will become a great option for favre in time (he already appears to be a favorite 3rd down option for him) but until that happens, driver is guaranteed the lion's share of receptions in GB (who will definitely be playing from behind all year long).

that said, this week's match up vs. the chi defense is not so great, but count on driver in many, many other weeks to come if glenn proves to be as streaky as he was last year (2-tds and 150 yards one week, then 30 yards the next!)

[sds23]

just a hunch tamer, but t jones could have a nice outing vs gb this week. gb's run game is much better than it has been in recent years, but this weekend calls for a very conservative game plan and will be a low scoring / grind out the clock affair for chi.

i like gore a lot this year, but sf could find themselves playing from behind early in this one if warner, boldin and fitz have their way. that means more antonio bryant and less gore this week.

as for westbrook, everyone is so high on this guy but his fragileness scares me. if he can stay healthy, phi has big plans to use him in the flats (just like wash was intending on using portis until he popped his shoulder).

t jone's stats may not come early or easy, but i think he has the best chance of seeing 100 yds and a td. meanwhile westbrook may be a higher risk / reward guy for you vs a much improved hou defense in what could be yet another low scoring affair.

just my 2 cents

[sds23]

agree 100% with The Man's analysis on Watson

awesome chemsitry

not to mention a 245 man who runs a 4.4 40!

Watson is a monster and will be brady's favorite target this season

NE may even line him up as a WR this season

[EagleFan5]

who do is start in week 1?

frank gore vs the cards or jamal lewis against the bucs

antonio bryant against the cards, mushin muhammed against the packers, braylon edwards againts the saints, or darrell jackson against the lions

[sds23]

eagle -

those three WRs are actually very, very close in value this week. normally d-jackson is a must start, but his knee injury is tough to gauge. here's the latest news out of Seattle:

Sat, 9 Sep 2006 12:07:08 -0700
Clare Farnsworth, of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, reports Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren is planning to have WR Darrell Jackson (knee) take part in roughly 25 plays Week 1. Jackson is listed as probable for the game.

Personally, I am a big fan on A-Bryant this season. He will get a lot of targets, especially with SF likely to be playing from behind a lot. He may be a nice play this week. But it's tough to sit someone of Jackson's caliber on the bench.

As for Gore vs. Lewis, again, they have a similar value this week, but just like D-Jackson, an injury needs watching. Here's the latest news:

Fri, 8 Sep 2006 19:22:15 -0700
Jamison Hensley, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens RB Jamal Lewis (hip) has been upgraded to probable for Week 1 and is expected to play.

I like Gore a lot, but can SF hang with ARI long enough to give him his carries? Will he be used in the flats if they are playing from behind? Tough questions. Plus keep in mind that Lewis plays an extremely solid defensive team this week.

I'd watch those injury reports early tomorrow morning and up until game time if you can afford to do so.

[EagleFan5]

yeah im gunna watcch the injurys but i want a secondary opinion...who would you start of my players?

[sds23]

I would start Bryant and Gore personally...but like I said, this week presents you with a unique situation where the guys you are asking about are in a dead-heat tie as far as potential value. Consult this list:

Driver would be my choice.

Favre loves him. He tries to force alot of balls his way.

Look for about 7-8 catches today. Maybe 100yds and 1TD.
