Hey all.

This week I have 3 stumpers.

1. QB

Orton vs NE

Warner vs Hou

I am leaning Warner, but a lot of projections have Orton getting more F points.


Next .........

2. WR

T.O., Ward, R. Moss, or Crotchery? I will start 3 of them. Who sits?


Finally.......

3. Mike Bell


Should I keep Mike Bell? I do not need him until week 7 barring injury to J Jones or Brandon Jacobs. I was going to hold on to him since he was doing so well prior to his injury. Not a lot of great back available, but if a mid to low RB2 comes open, should I jump or hang on and see?

Thanks all, I appreciate your help and thoughts.

#1 is pretty easy. Warner all day. Houston doesn't have much in the way of defense and Boldin & Breaston are healthy. Warner could erupt

#2 Sit TO. Moss should never sit and Cotch and Ward have been lights out this season.

#3 Depends on who else is available. Bell is outstanding Thomas insurance but pretty worthless if you have to start him should Jones or Jacobs go down.

Warner in a walk, I sit Cotchery, and no need to carry Bell as there is likely a guy like Sammy morris on the wire right now who can give you more. (or Bernerd Scott)

TO (I hate him) goes off this week as the manufacture a game for he and Edwards to look on the same page and settle the troops.

I'm not believing TO can produce in Buffalo until it happens. With the weather up there his time to shine has come and gone and so far he's flopped. Cotch is 100% stud so far this season.

Yes, and I have no idea why Cotch's fantasy projection is so low this week. Against Miami, ESPN has him at 7 and TO at 11 against Cleveland. *shrug* It thought maybe you guys saw something I missed. I have been hosed pretty hard by TO this year and would love to sit him, but I would hate to miss some obvious points I am just not seeing. (like last week, I sat A. Gates for Ward. sigh.)

I'd sit him in favor of Cotch. Projected scores are horrible in general and worse in the early part of the season.

Thanks, Ram. Good point about projections and I have noticed that as well. I did not know it was a universal truth, but it sure looks like it is! :)

Thanks again, and to everyong as well. Good stuff here.

(Especially for a rookie year guy like me. I don't have to win, but I do have to do my best and it sure helps coming here)

I hate TO as well, but you have to start him against Clevelands garbage secondary. He will get the big day hes been crying for. After that, not sure, but start this week.

If that was done, who would I drop? Cotch? Ward? Moss? That is the dilema......

Clevelands garbage D almost won last week against Ochocinco and Cincy last week. They handled "85" and he's better than TO, last week.

Miami is a good D but Cotch is also banged up.

New York Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery missed his second consecutive practice on Saturday with a hamstring injury. Head coach Rex Ryan wasn't made available to the media on Saturday, but on Friday he that Cotchery is in real danger of missing Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. He is listed as questionable on the injury report.

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks much.
