Since it's PPR, I like Slaton and MJD by far this week, with Rice a distant (but solid 3rd). Brown and Addai make for decent starts too, but considering the ridiculous depth you have at RB, I like the first two guys I pointed out.

As for WRs, I'd prolly sit Steve SMith and Lee Evans, unless Johnson doesn't play, in which case I'd probably start Evans along with Nicks and Jackson. You have a lot of boom or bust at WR, so it could be rough or it could be great. Have you considered dealing one of those backs for a major upgrade at WR2? Having Jackson/Nicks as your WR3 would be a lot nicer than having to start both and count on comparable WR2 numbers each week. Starting only 2 RBs and having 5 solid ones is always a great opportunity to upgrade your set of starters - hope I'm not overstepping here, but it's an observation worth throwing out there IMO. I hope I helped ;-D

Thanks for answering mine.

I'd go Slaton and MJD as well. I love Rice, but Denver has been playing great defense. Ronnie is awesome too, but Jets D is better than Slaton's and MJD's opponents.

As for WR's, you have to play Johnson if he's healthy. Steve Smith is a ppr machine, so I'd say start him as well. Desean has been explosive, I'd have him as your third. If Johnson doesn't play, then I'd put in Evans as my 3rd. Nicks has had some fluky TD's recently, and I don't see that continuing against the Eagles.
