PPR, No TE position(WR/TE the same), Standard scoring otherwise, Must start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1 D
Rice, DWill, Foster, Megatron, and Gates are probably locks. Not sure who to start for my 3rd WR, QB, or D/ST.

RB
Ray Rice @ NYJ
DeAngelo Williams @ NYG
Arian Foster vs. IND

I think I would go with Eli since McNabb has hurt ankle. I think Maimi is the better pick on DEF since I think they can stop the run and Buffalo has no QB. On the 3rd WR, I think you are at a crap shoot but would lean with Hicks to go with Eli.

Thanks for your help on mine.

Eli at QB. Carolina is historically good against the pass, but I don't know if I'd rely on McNabb just yet.

Definitely the Miami D. Until they show otherwise, Buffalo might have one of the three worst offenses in the league, CJ Spiller notwithstanding.

I actually like Celek in the 3rd WR/TE. PPR makes the difference here, and I think he sees a bunch of intermediate stuff from Kolb against the Pack, who will have to make sure Maclin and DJax don't get downfield in single coverage. And again, Carolina is a good against the pass, I don't think I'd get all of my eggs into the same basket there with Eli starting at QB.

Thanks for the help with mine. Good luck!

At QB i would go with Eli. We're not really sure how McNabbs ankle is since it was first reported he may miss the opener. Plus the Cowboys will get lots of pressure on McNabb especially if his mobility isnt there causing him to make some mistakes

At WR its between Nicks and Aromashodu . Carolina had a good pass D last season but I think if the Giants can get the run game going which they should be able to then it will open up the passing game more. I think Forte will see a lot of action against Detroit but that game could also turn into a shootout late in the game so I could see the Bears airing it out a lot more giving Aromashodu a chance to have some big plays. I guess I would lean more towards Nicks though but I think they could end up with similar numbers this first week.

At D I would go with SD. Divisional game on Monday night and they handled KC last year fairly easily. I think they should be able to do the same this week. I think Buffalo may surprise the Dolphins this week.

Eli - McNabb's is too risky to start with his nagging injury
Rice - LOCK
Foster - matchup is too good
CJ - LOCK
Gates - LOCK
Nicks - Saw a bunch of targets this preseason
DeAngelo at flex
I don't see Buffalo / Spiller doing anything this week against Miami.

Thanks for the help with mine.
