Week 1 - Very tough call

[nadal22]

I have a tough call to make for week 1. My league does 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 Flex. No PPR. Here's my dilemma:

RBs
Marion Barber
Chris Johnson
Ray Rice
Tim Hightower
Thomas Jones

WRs
Desean Jackson
Wes Welker
Ocho Cinco
Eddie Royal
Chris Henry

The questionables for me are Chris Johnson and Wes Welker since Wes is supposedly somewhat injured and CJ is up against the Pitts D. What would you do?

Thanks in advance for your help, suggestions.

Go with your studs: MBIII, CJ, and Rice at FLEX. WR: Ocho Cinco and Welker (although I don't know Welker's status)...I'd go with DeSean over Welker if Welker's injury status is up in the air.

Thanks... its tough to sit your top draft players... I wasn't sure if Thomas Jones was any good. Have not watched a game of his yet. Hopefully it'll be a good game tonight!

I'd go with CJ, Rice and Barber at RB, as they are heads above your other options for the week. Jones on the road against Houston doesn't seem like a good play to me as they're likely to get down and have to air it out.

At WR, I like Welker and DeSean, with OchoCinco taking Welker's spot if Welker can't go, but it looks like he should be ok. OchoCinco should be lined up across from Champ Bailey who is essentially the one strength that the Broncos have on defense.

Help me?
