Who do I start for week 6? Hillis, Megatron? Thanks!

Hey all and thank you in advance for checking out this post. So who should I start for week 6? I have Peyton Hillis and Calvin Johnson on my squad and debating whether or not to play them considering their current injuries. If they play, do I risk having them out for the game if they are pulled after the first quarter or something? I also have Steelers D against the Browns, and they might just shut out the Browns and thus HIllis. Who should I substitute for them? So my lineup is as follows:


QB: Shaub
RB: Hillis, Ladanian Tomlinson, Ronnie Brown
TE: Moeki
D/ST: Steelers
K: Nick Folk

BN: Shonne Green, Davone Bess, Steve Smith (car), Vicanthe Shiancoe, Chad Henne

Assuming Steve Smith is healthy, do I start him or Bess given Carolina's terrible QB situation? Do I not play Hillis and put in Torrain or maybe even Shonne Green? Moeki or Shiancoe? Shiancoe was great the first two games of the season but now Farve has Moss as his go to guy and Shiancoe is coming off of an injury. Moeki isn't lighting it up but is clearly a favorite target for Matt Cassel. There are a lot of possibilities for my lineup this week, so thank you very much for your input! I will post a reply for any questions you have if you post to mine. Thanks again.

In order for this to make sense, you're going to have to list your current starting WRs.

In general I would be skeptical of starting Megatron and would go with Bess instead.

Hillis' status should be checked until closer to gameday. If he doesn't go, it looks like Green is your only option. If I were you, I might get more RB depth off the WW. Especially fort this week.
