Who to Start Message Board

Ridley or Redman?

Washington or Rice?

Big Ben. Despite the offensive line and injury troubles, he's safer play than Dalton, who's a rookie and has been inconsistent all year.

Until Williams gets on track, it's probably a safer play to go with Maclin.

Schaub. Sanchez is just too inconsistent and the Texans will still throw plenty.

Got it.

I'd play Sproles in a PPR league, Addai in a non-PPR. Sproles gets limited carries and is a bigger threat in the passing and return game and Addai has a very favorable matchup against the Chiefs. I'd also play Jacoby Jones, he'll get increased opportunities this week (and next week, for that matter) with Andre Johnson out and the Raiders secondary isn't all that great.

I'm worried about Stevie Johnson being shut down by those corners the Eagles have... Is Isaac Redman going to do anything with the increased carries he should get?

Stevie Johnson at WR, as Buffalo's offense (except for last week against the #1 defense in the Bengals) has been stellar this year and he's Fitzpatrick's #1 option. For your flex, go with Steve Smith. Carolina's going to have to pass the ball a lot to keep up with Drew Brees and the Saints, which means another big game for Smith could be in store. Oh, and that guy throwing to him isn't half bad either.
