Week 2 Case Study

Got a pretty easy win last week, led by the decision to go with Big Ben - of course, Delhomme had a nice week as well.

Tougher match up this week as I'll face some great WRs in Terrell Owens and Roy Williams along with Ronald Curry plus Steven Jackson at RB so I've got my work cut out for me this week.

So here's a look at my lineup decisions for NFL Week 2:

QB

Roethlisberger, Ben PIT or Delhomme, Jake CAR

Big Ben was great last week, but against a questionable defense. However the Buffalo D look surprisingly solid last week. Delhomme gets the Texans D which we just don't know about because they played KC. Both look to have good days and it's a toss up. I went with Jake against the Titans.


2 RB's

Henry, Travis RB DEN

Johnson, Rudi RB CIN

Dunn, Warrick RB ATL

Lynch, Marshawn RB BUF


Did leave some points on the bench with Lynch last week and certainly believe he can repeat as we've been high on him all along as a breakout rookie. Dunn just has no support around him right now. Travis Henry and Rudi Johnson (could have a monster game against the Browns!) are pretty obvious starts though it's good to have depth at RB and I feel good about RB at this point.

3 WR's

Colston, Marques WR NO

Edwards, Braylon WR CLE

Jackson, Darrell WR SF

Bennett, Drew WR STL

Hackett, D.J. WR SEA

Jarrett, Dwayne WR


Need better play this week from my WRs for sure. Must go with Colston, he's got big game ability. Edwards has no QB to throw him the ball still. Jackson looks to have a better game, as does the entire SF offense and the potential is there against the Rams D so I start DJ. Bennett still not 100% but likely to play, still just not certain how big a part of the offense he's going to be. Hackett is hurt so obviously out and Jarrett has some quality in front of him. That leaves Edwards with all that potential as my third WR.

And we play a thin bench, so no decision to finish out the lineup:

Mare, Olindo K NO

Panthers, DST CAR
