Alright, I have a big match-up versus my brother-in-law this week and I can't decide which WRs to start.

Randy Moss - Q VS Atlanta
Percy Harvin - Q VS San Fran
Mario Manningham - P VS Tampa Bay
Patrick Crayton VS Carolina
Chad Ochocinco VS Pittsburgh

Currently, I have Moss, Harvin, and Manningham. I'm pretty confident with the Manningham and Harvin picks, but Moss sounds really questionable this week. Debating subbing in Crayton or Ocho.

Also.. running backs.. in my extra slot I have the choice between Felix Jones, who will be the main back Monday in Carolina or Ray Rice who is playing the pitiful Browns.

MUST WIN.

I'd prolly play Crayton over Moss.

And Jones at RB. Do you get points for kickoff/punt return yardage?

Drew Brees vs the so-far very stout Jets Defense
or
Matt Schaub vs Oakland and Nnamdi Asomugha covering Andre Johnson.

One other question: I'll most likely be starting Kellen Winslow and Cadillac Williams out of necessity. They play the Redskins defense who is expected to tee off on Tampa. Should I try to balance that out by playing the Skins as my defense in case those two drop a turd, or continue playing my regular starter D the Vikings.

I would personally avoid Schaub this week, as Asomugha is going to blanket AJ and I read a stat today about how god-awful #2 receivers were against the Raiders so far. Oakland has been a pleasant surprise defensively. They've got the potential to be legendary in their offensive ineptitude, but that's another story.

Brees has far more weapons than anyone else the Jets have seen this season, soooo.

Your situation here is totally desperate. I wouldn't mind Winslow this week, given the QB check-down situation in Tampa. I would feel really bad starting a defense playing against two of my starters on the suspicion that my offensive starters would be really bad and help my DEF points.

Now, if you think Josh Johnson isn't going to take care of the football, throw picks, cough it up when he gets sacked? Different story. He didn't show you that last week, though. Vikes D is solid, but I fear A-Rod on Monday night against the Old Gunslinger if I'm them.

I could start Marshawn Lynch over Cadillac but he'll be sharing the load against the Dolphins who shut down the run. I'm thinking Cadillac is the way to go.

Ward isn't playing for TB and last I knew Graham was a 3rd down back. Ride the Caddy.

Drew Brees puts up ridiculous numbers almost every week. He is a must start. Schaub is nice insurance to have but you shouldn't be starting him unless Bress is on a bye or injured.

Kellen Winslow and Cadillac Williams aren't going to be the ones getting sacked and throwing picks so everyone could have a decent game and it could work out for you. Obviously the situation is not ideal but its not like you are starting your QB vs. your defense, though having lots of eggs in one basket can drive you crazy sometimes.

Last week Brees put up like 170 yards and no touchdowns. Brees has thrown about 900 yds and 9 touchdowns. Schaub has thrown 800 and 7 TDs. They've both had one bad week. I don't think it's that cut and dried but I'd always start Brees first unless there was a good reason not to.
