I have a few selection choices I'm still scratching my head over. I'd appreciate any advice you guys have. Give me a link and I'll help as best as I can. RBs first, I need to start 2.
SJax @ SF - Not the greatest matchup and the worst performer of my RBs this year. He's been improving each week though and has to get a TD or 2 sometime. Sproles @ PIT - Ugly matchup. Top scorer on my team (even more than my QB Rivers). Probably can't run against PIT but will be a threat in the receiving game on screens. I also get 1pt/20 return yards, so you can basically write in 4-5 pts for that even if he doesn't break one. Going to hurt to sit him if I do, but right now I'm thinking I have to sit him or Jackson. Benson @ CLE - This is why. What a beautiful, soft and squishy defense for Benson to annihilate. He's been averaging 14+ pts a game on my bench and proved himself against PIT last week. I have to start him I think. Julius @ IND - Pretty good matchup here too. Was used more last week with Wallace at QB. He's quietly got as many points as Benson this year. Wish someone would bite on a trade.
And the WRs. I'm starting R. Moss, even with his lower than expected performances so far. He's been getting open, just needs Brady to hit him. Need 3 more starters.
S. Holmes vs. SD - Outside of last week, he's been solid. Think he's a starter. D. Mason @ NE - Just picked him up off waivers. E. Bennett vs. DET - Gotta start him vs. the Lions right? N. Burleson @ IND - Solid weeks in 1 and 3. SEA could end up having to pass a lot if they get behind. P. Crayton @ DEN - Too inconsistent I think. T. Holt @ vs. TEN - Hasn't done much this year. Closest to being dropped from my team.
IMO, Benson is a must start this week. Behind him, I'd start Sproles. SD has to run the ball and he's going to get touches. Jones and SJAX are unreliable and inconsistent. It's a gamble starting either one (a gamble that doesn't really have much of a reward side either, if you ask me).
Definitely start Derrick Mason. I'm shocked he was on waivers in your league. His been playing rather consistently, which is always a plus. Behind him, I'd start Holmes. The only toss up I'd have would be between Bennett and Burleson but Im pretty sure I'd go with Nasty Nate. Bennett still needs to prove he can make big plays, Burleson got a lot of action from Seneca last week. So, I'd roll like this:

Good points on all players and their matchups. Right off the top of the melon I would definitely put Benson in this week, alongside Sproles. Sproles plays a important role against tough defenses. @ WR, I like Holmes for sure, Mason, and Burleson. Hope this helped. and thanks for hitting up mine.
This response, IMO, nailed it....Gotta go w this lineup.

bolded in my choices for you. It'll hurt to bench sproles, but LT might be playing and taking away touches from him. SJAX is bound for a breakout game and Benson has to be a starter as of now. Bennett has to start against DET, Holmes will be solid, and Burleson should be able to break a big one against INDY.
