Need some help - managed to win the Ward sweepstakes today, now have a decision for RB2. PPR, huge TD yardage bonuses (all TD's 5 pts, + for length, up to 9 pts for 50+). So is it Ward home vs. GB, or Portis @ PHI on Monday night? Thanks.

Portis and it's really not close unless something about Portis's health comes up. Phili fans confirm their run D is not good, and they're going to hand off over 35 times against them. That GB D is probably considerably better vs the run, and Ward is not nearly proven yet.

[Russ M.]

Yeah nobody should be starting Ward until he's proven himself in a full game or two.

tough spot here. romo and roethlisberger both had big games last week.

this week romo is away at miami (5th rated passing defense last year) while ben is at home against buffalo. if it's a blowout, ben won't throw much.

this that in mind, who do you like better?

[Triumph36]

Romo is severely overrated. Throwing to wide open receivers facing no pressure isn't all that difficult.

[Russ M.]

BB is one of the most overrated fantasy QBs though. He got 4 TDs thanks to Cleveland sucking so many nuts. He only completed 12 passes for like 150 yards.

8 team league, Willie is already slotted in against Buffalo. Have Portis in right now, looking for a little input. Can't see putting Maroney in against a solid D even though I drafted him pretty high

How is he overrated when he went in like the 919th round in a lot of leagues? I think he has a pretty solid shot at finishing in the top 8 QBs fantasy-wise... yet he was being drafted outside of the top 10.

Some help please, as this is just my first time playing in a league I need to start 1 RB out of: (standard rules, +2 @100 yrds)

LJ @ Chi
Maroney v SD
M.Barber @ Miami

Prob with LJ of course is @ Chi, but most other sites have him top 12 in rb points for the week because he will get a lot of touches.

Maroney against a tough SD def plus he splits time with 2 other backs.

Barber splits time w/ Jones and I don't think he will have the number of td's he had last year. New coach could mean more touches around the endzone for Jones.

My other starter is Addai.

Thanks for any input
