DeSean Jackson, Santana Moss, Ted Ginn Jr.

Yeah, I reeaaaalllllllyyyy want to start Jackson, but I'm just not sure.

Ha same problem - almost - I have to start 3 of Jackson, TJ, Moss, or Driver.  I'm going with the first three. and right now I'd take Jackson over Moss is you have points for return yards.

cant see why its a problem. Its week 1--which is a complete crapshoot picking who to start

My flight was late last night, so I missed all but the last two rounds of a 14-team draft.

Thankfully, I grabbed Kurt Warner in the 15th round to handcuff Matt Leinart.  Not that it matters, because neither of them can crack the starting lineup with Jake Delhomme having a stranglehold on the spot.

At RB, I'm rocking Clinton "somehow my fantasy value never is as good as my numbers" Portis and OMGReggieBush, with solid backup coming from the ineffective and likely-to-be-cut Rudi Johnson.

Thankfully, things are better at WR, where I have Andre Johnson and Brandon Marshall being solidly buttressed by the likes of Dwayne Bowe, Isaac Bruce, Justin Gage, and Bryant Johnson.


Anyway, I just thought I'd point out that on some teams, it doesn't farging matter who you start.

That is whats making this tough, this league uses return yards for defense/special teams. If I was getting the return yards for Jackson, it would make it a lot easier.

The other thing is, I have to believe that Jackson will get into the game and that the Eagles will go to him pretty frequently even if he doesn't start, but a lot of that depends on the health of Reggie Brown.

I like the Jay Cutler pick. He has really looked good this pre-season since getting healthy.

I like Rickey Williams also. Could be a big sleeper if he stays healthy. He's got the insurance of a contract extension also. As long as he stays off the wacky weed..................

Thanks!

I posted the whole roster here because I didn't want to start another thread just to post my squad.
