I would go with Roethlisberger-the Pittsburgh offense is thriving VIA the air and Rivers has a tough matchup while Pittsburgh is gonna be a shoot out against Cincy
Steven Jackson is a no brainer, a true stud, 25 carries each week yadda yadda yadda. While for your 2nd RB I would go with Benson, he has been tearing it up and although the matchup is tough, Benson has had matchups just as tough and has thrived in them (see: Last time at PIT (76 yds, 1 TD), DEN (76 yds, 1 TD), BAL (120 YDS, 1 TD), BAL Again (127 Yds, 1 TD), CHI (189 yds, 1 TD)
For WR, I would pick Randy Moss no brainer and Steve Smith no brainer. I would also go with Burleson b/c ARI is weak against the pass and he is always the best deep threat in SEA, and I would lean away from Chambers until he can prove himself. I guess for the 4th I would go with Holmes just because I think he is more likely to score a touchdown in a sure shoot out instead of Mason getting one. But the last one is close to a toss up, only that Holmes has more upside IMO
Good luck bud
