Who to start/sit

Ok I have addai / J. Lewis at my #1 AND #2 but at my flex w/r i need some help....

Ryan Grant - Didnt play much pre-season and now he's going up against Min. defense.

my other options are Ray rice and Selvin Young. who do you guys think i should start at #3?

How about Favre or Eli?

I'm leaning favre in that one..

Favre at QB over Eli.

Selvin and Rice (I am assuming he will start) are pretty even in my mind--in which case I say go with Selvin and not a rook. Plus it gives you that late Monday night player that keeps you alive.

no, he'll be fine. It was pre-season, missing a game doesn't mean much. Young will be losing 40-50% of his carries to Andre Hall starting week 1

Not so sure of that. If he runs wild on the lousy run defense of Oakland, Hall will not be coming in for him. Shanny rides the hot hand. Plus, with Marshall out, I expect Denver to run more this week.

I like Ray Rice. Don't get me wrong. But he is making his first ever start with a QB making his first ever start (Flacco). There will be 8 men in the box. ALOT.

And like I said before, where it is close, I always like to have the Monday night guy going for me.

In one of my drafts I took Grant with my seconfd pick. I think he has a bigger year without Favre and challenges for NFC rushing title. Time will tell

i really hope you're right about him jack... I'm just really skeptical that he's a one year wonder.

those are really good points you bring up keith.

good luck man. If Willis is active on Sunday, then for sure Young. If Willis is not active, I personally would still go with Young, but I could see you going with Rice under those circumstances.
