    More than just about any other back in the league, I true MJD to deliver when he is in the game, period. The only other guy I'd trust more than Jones-drew is AP.

    Playing Jones-Drew if he starts is a no-brainer in my opinion, against any defense.

    Generally a defense as good as the Jets will still give up a touchdown or two, and MJD accounts for a large percentage of those TDs.

    One good rule to follow in fantasy is "always trust your studs" even if you have a favorable matchup with a not-as-studly player.

    Alright, I'll stick with MoJo. I was afraid I was overthinking it, since I'm pretty inexperienced in Fantasy football. And honestly, the Cowboys had some good runs against the Jets in week 1 anyway, but Romo was having so much success early that they didn't really stick to it.

    Thanks for the advice, guys.

    Now MJD is certain to run for 24 yards on 23 carries and make you question your entire existence.

    Such is the grip fantasy football holds on us.

    Another question...Brandon Lloyd versus Cinci or Jordie Nelson vs Carolina? I think perhaps Lloyd is the more talented, but he has injury concerns right now and Nelson has Aaron Rodgers throwing to him.

    I'd start Lloyd if he's healthy simply because Kyle Orton targets him an obscene amount of times per game.

    If it is too questionable I think Nelson is a decent play. I could see him putting up 1000 yards and 10 TDs this season.

    I like Starks here. I think he is the better RB over Grant.

    DeAngelo is valuable because he has such upside; however, vs. green bay i'm less confident in seeing that upside surface.

    Don't get cute, start MJD over Bush unless MJD is on a bye or out because of injury.

    Someone just dropped him for Carnell Williams, I dont understand that move.
    Steven Jackson will only be out one week.

    I have addai too, I dont know If Im going to start him.

    but Dez is questionable, and havent practiced the last few days.
    so he maybe out

    I would start cadillac williams, but addai vs browns could be good too.

    I've got one WR spot open and either Jeremy Maclin or Jordy Nelson available.

    Who should I pick up?

    Maclin is questionable as well. His head isn't on straight. Unfortunate for you the lesser of the two evils, assuming Bryant is cleared to play, is Bryant.

    Joseph Addai right now is terrible so for that reason alone cadi is the choice.

    These are plays that are scary no matter what you do. These choices aren't great.
