must win week already, have several issues selecting starter

[Fuqyu]

Ok, here is my team. I need to start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr. My TE QB and Def are entrenched. Any advice on what to do with my rushing and receiving corps would be GREATLY appreciated.

RB A. Peterson, Min vs Det; Shonn Greene, NYJ @ Mia; Michael Bush, Oak @ Ari; Laurence Maroney, Den vs Ind; Mike Tolbert, SD @ Sea

WR C. Johnson, Det @ Min; Steve Smith, NYG vs Ten; Legedu Naanee, SD @ Sea; Dwayne Bowe, KC vs SF; Bernard Berrian, Min vs Det; Devin Aromoshadu, Chi vs GB


Thanks in advance for any advice, I will happily offer my own, worthless as it is, in return!

[intrigued]

I think you'd be nuts not to start AP, against almost anyone. I think Greene is going to lose out more and more to LT, so I would avoid him. Tolbert might be the best pick of your other line, given that Mathews is likely to be limited this week and Tolbert did pretty well last week.

For WR, I like C. Johnson, S. Smith (especially with Nicks' ankle being sore and the Giants likely being forced to throw against a potent Titans team), and Naanee, though Berrian (who has been slightly disappointing) might be an option against a weak Detroit def. I dropped Aromashadu as I think he is going to fall behind other receivers on Chicago's list.

Good luck.

RB - Peterson, Tolbert

Peterson is a lock and it looks as though Mathews is going to be out Sunday which make Tolbert a very good play. If Mathews plays, then I'd have to go Greene based on the other options. I'd like to see both Maroney and Bush produce after coming back from their injuries before I think about playing them.

WR - Calvin, Bowe, S. Smith

Calvin is a lock. I like Bowe's matchup and I think that he and Cassel will finally start connecting. I flirted with the idea of Aromashodu for the 3rd and I think I'd still seriously think about it if this is a non-PPR league, but the safer bet is Steve Smith. He has a proven rapport with Eli and they will connect quite a few times. If this is a PPR league, you have to go with Smith.

Good luck
