    Who should I start as my utility W/R/T player? Malcom Floyd from the Chargers (playing @ Kansas City), or Nate Burleson from Detroit (playing at home vs the Vikings)?

    I think so. Mendenhall moving forward has similar value to Turner. Jennings will be an every week starter for you with Britt/Maclin has decent 3rd options.

    By the way, if you own Shonn Greene, NOW is the time to cut bait as fast as you can. Lots of speculation lately that he could be losing his starting job altogether, and now the Jets have used their Darrell Revis roster spot to sign Jonathan Grimes instead of getting a replacement CB. That's very bad news for Greene's job security if you ask me.

    Alright friends, I need help with my RBs.

    Ben Tate v Titans

    Or

    Cedric Benson v Saints

    I'm leaning Benson because the Saints run D sucks

    Titans D sucks too, but I'd go with Benson.

    Benson. The Texans will no doubt run roughshod all over the Titans on Sunday, but Ben Tate got in the doghouse last week for fumbling and we don't know how soon Kubiak will trust him enough to give him lots of touches again. And given what Jamaal Charles did to the Saints last week and the Packers' newfound love for the run game, Benson is simply the safer play here.

    Of course, Tate could go out and punch in two touchdowns, but he could also give you 3 points.

    Benson is the safer bet, because he is the no.1 RB in green bay, and they are using him more.
    But Tate could get 1 or 2 TDs, but its a risky call

    So you pick, want to go with the safe option (definitely more yards, but not sure about TDs) or gamble a bit and hope for Tate getting in the endzone or wait for a blowout game and tate gets some garbage playing time.

    Tate is a tough call. i'm in the same position with him or Ryan Williams. Williams is the #1 but tate can go off...plus, miami is fairly solid against the run.

    That being said, i'm still going Williams.

    Thanks man, that's what I was leaning toward!

    Also, in my other league, I have Reggie Bush and Fred Jackson possibly coming back from injury. Should I take a chance on one of them or start Willis McGahee instead?

    Once Tebow takes over the starting job, you're going to want Greene. Can't say I agree.

    I don't think the Texans will wear out Foster just to send Tate a message. I'm starting Tate right now and leaving Ridley/Leshoure on my bench (unless Spiller plays and Fred sits).

    I thought Tebow was a RB killer. Example Willis McGahee this past season.
