I have to start 2 WRs and 1 WR/TE.  I'm leaning towards the bolded names.
Eric Parker vs. STL
Troy Williamson vs. NE
Antonio Bryant @ CHI
Javon Walker IND
Hines Ward @ OAK
Todd Heap @ NO

Anyone see a good reason to go with Bryant instead of Heap?  I think Walker and Ward are must starts, and since I'm starting Gore (see below), I'm wary of putting an SF WR in the starting role...

at RB, I have to start two.  My options are:
Frank Gore @ CHI
Tiki Barber v. TB

Joseph Addai @ DEN
Dominic Rhodes @ DEN
Brandon Jacobs v. TB
Michael Robinson @ CHI
I wonder if Addai wouldn't be a better start than Gore, except Gore (and his O-line) just had a week off, he doesn't split carries as much as the IND RBs do, and as far as I'm concerned, both Ds are tough as hell.

I'd appreciate any comments.

I'd go with whom you're leaning toward with the WRs, but I'd almost start Jacobs instead of Gore or Addai just because both defenses are pretty much lights out and are at home. I realize starting Tiki and Jacobs sounds dangerously insane, but the Giants really should destroy the TB defense. Get the yards with Tiki and TDs with Jacobs. It may even be such a blowout, Jacobs will be getting all the carries in the fourth.

Diomedes

Put all my RB eggs in one basket?  Crazeee!!

If TB somehow jumps way ahead early--let's say they get lucky on a big run and then post a couple defensive TDs--then I'm farged.

Anyone else think this would be a wise move?

I'm going to start every Jaguar I can get my hands on this week.  It's good strategy.

Then I'd go with Gore over Addai, but I still think Jacobs has a better chance to score more points than either of those two.

I've lost the first 7 games of the CF Keeper League so far.....after winning the whole thing last year.  Pretty much every player on my team has been a fantasy no show.  :-\

Maroney vs. MIN
         -OR-
Barlow vs. CLE

I hate bye weeks.

Diomedes

ouch.  coin flip.  I'd go Maroney.

Barlow is going to see the bench more and more, because Leon Washington is the only rb on that team worth a damn.  He's got burst and speed and he's shown way more than the others.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Barlow with 5 or fewer rushes, especially if Washington is tearing CLE up...

MIN is a better D, so they may bottle up the run game.  But even so, I think Maroney more likely to see touches than Barlow.

coin toss.

Like I said, pretty much everyone on my roster has grossly underperformed and been a major fantasy dissappointment.

running backs:
tiki
ahman
maurice jd
l washington

pick 2. obviously tiks is one.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Flip a coin between Washington and Green.  Both had solid weeks last week and both are going up against crap teams and should see a bunch of carries in the 2nd half. 

Remember this fantasy rule of thumb:  When in doubt, choose the player who gets the ball from Gawd.

you jizzmoppers were wrong again. good think i used whats left of my brian and start ahman greeeeen
