    If this goes in the "should I" thread, please merge.

    Wondering the play this week at QB for your fantasy team if you have Schaub and Kolb? Usually you go with the Texans' QB but Schaub simply has not done well in week 1. Would it be wise to sit him and start Kolb who is playing the lowly Panthers? Both QBs are playing at home.

    I think Kolb is a sexy play this week, but I'm only starting him because my other options were Romo vs Jets or Flacco vs Pittsburgh.

    You KNOW Kolb is going to throw at least 2 TD's to Fitz.

    You KNOW Kolb is going to throw for at least 200 yards.

    Start him and hope he throws another td to someone and hope he doesn't have more than 1 pick if any.

    Well, he didnt hit Fitz but had a pretty solid game. Schaub didn't make me regret sitting him down, that's for sure.

    So which sleeper back to sit(or neither) this week: Hightower vs AZ or Wells vs WAS??

    I'm a bigger wells fan than a Hightower fan. Hightower got a score which made his totals respectable. I would almost rate Hightower a goal line back rather than a featured back, but that being said, I could easily see Hightower getting 80 total yards, 2 scores and 4 receptions.

    I do believe that Bennie is a feature back, yet I don't see Bennie as a guy that has the same touchdown potential that Hightower has. I think that going forward Hightower has a strong opportunity to score a touchdown in every game. But Bennie is going to have more yards that Hightower on a consistent basis. Hightower just didn't look that good at finding holes to exploit when he was given the carries. Bennie is hitting the seams a lot more regular.

    Im stuck in a dilema. Out of Mike Tolbert Benjarvis Green-Ellis Reggie Wayne and Sindney Rice which 2 should I start? It's for RB and WR/RB spots.

    I'm thinking Tolbert and Wayne because Ind is playing KC and I think he will have a big game and SD has no receivers this week so they'll be throwing to him but I'm not sure.

    Any advice?

    Tolbert is a sure start. After that it gets kind of muddy. Green-Ellis has a good matchup by the numbers (and is the starter) but you have to worry about him losing touches to Ridley. Sidney Rice has actually been playing well and the Giants secondary is beat up, but they're on the road...and it's hard to rely on Tavaris Jackson on the road. All three guys there are not separated by much. I think the safest pick is Green-Ellis to get some yards on the ground, even if he doesn't score, but I'd go Wayne for upside.

    Who would have known Green-Ellis would have had the game of his life rotting on my bench.

    I could have called that, since I was going against him. Just like Pierre Garcon. Even Pierre Thomas decided to score this week, since he was playing me. It's automatic.
