    I hear people call in all the time on 610 and 790 asking "Who would I start, I got so and so...

    I thought we could have one here.

    Week 1
    I got Lee Evans against Broncos and Colston against Indy

    I am leaning towards Colston vs the newly assembled Cb's of Indy orval Champ Baily being on Evans.

    I would start Colston, no question.

    I'm wondering if I should start Tom Brady (concerned that the Jets defense might throttle him - you know how that Mangini/Belichick rivalry goes) instead of Matt Leinart, who has strong offensive weapons around him and is going against a relatively weaker San Francisco defense.

    I'm also pondering starting Donald Driver over Hines Ward ... he's supposed to be ready to go for the season opener.

    I personally would start Brady every week if I had him. Also I would start Driver as well.

    Driver and Brady.

    Please help me -

    Mark Clayton @ Cincy or Santonio Holmes @ Cleveland.

    One thing that has me nervous is that I also have McGahee starting as well as the Ravens' kicker. That's a lot riding on Baltimore, who isn't exactly known for lighting it up.

    Definitely Portis vs Miami...

    Peterson/Taylor should split carries right down the middle for Minnesota, at least to start the season. Portis plays against the tougher defense but he should have more carries than Peterson tomorrow.

    Until I see AD get the majority of the carries or they say he is the clear cut starter I would go with Portis.

    I would start anyone vs. CLE. Also I am still mad at Clayton for having such a sorry year last year.

    Dunn. Jacksonville gave up 250+ rushing yards against the Titans last week.

    Travis Henry or Jones-Drew?

    Man that's close. Denver may have a hard time throwing the ball if Oak's defense is anything like last year. Didn't the Texans run all over Oak last year? But MJD will probably bounce back. Good luck on that one!

    McGahee vs. NYJ or Adrian Peterson @ Detroit? :eek:

    Tough. I'd probably go Peterson. The Detroit defense is terrible.

    Henry for sure.


    I'd definitely go with McGahee.
