starting Calvin Johnson, who starts with him?

Britt @ Jacksonville and a horrible pass d
Wayne @ Houston (without Peyton)

Funny I've got almost the exact same decision. I also have Welker in the mix. I'm leaning Britt but who knows, I could see Kerry Collins firing away to Wayne given that he hasn't really had time to figure out how to do anything else in that offense. Wayne is too much of a gamble for me this week; we'll know a lot more after game 1.

Q: Who was the QB at Tennessee when Kenny Brit had his biggest games.
A: Kerry Collins.

I think you go with Wayne. Yeah, there's some uncertainty with Peyton not playing, but there's also some uncertainty with Hasselbeck throwing to Britt. HOU was the 2nd worst D against WRs last season, although this we shouldn't read TOO much into the state of NFL defenses from the previous seasons, so the matchups seem similar on paper too.

I don't worry that Collins can't play, but that Collins has had about 12 minutes to get used to the offense up there... and the offense to get used to him. I do think it's a close call tho. Britt is plugged in right now but I wouldn't be shocked if I end up second, third, and fourth guessing myself and changing it.
