thanks — for some reason I didn’t even consider benching hightower.. hoping my bye-week scrubs (kyle orton, jags def, jermichael finley) come through…

Thanks Brandon, I was leaning in that direction but I really needed a consultation. (Very close match-up this week…)

Considering your options, I’d stick with Brandon Jacobs. I’m not sure what kind of carries Parker will get with Mendenhall running so well these days and Washington still hasn’t proven to be a fantasy-worthy starter quite yet.

Hey guys, love the site, thanks for all the work!

I have B. Jacobs, L. Washington, W. Parker and MJD. I’m starting MJD for sure, but am torn about B. Jacobs (rough start to the season, tough match-up against the Saints). Who should I start as my RB2?
Many thanks!

Go with Steve Smith and Nate Burleson…although Driver has a great matchup as well.

I agree with Josh from RI…go with Garrard.

I agree with Josh from RI if Jacksonville is available, but to answer your question, I think they’re going to let up three or four touchdowns to a pretty high powered Giants offense.

I wouldn’t trade Sims-Walker for Santonio Holmes, as I think Sims-Walker will be more consistent (when he’s not missing curfew!) than Holmes for the rest of the year. As for your receivers, I’d grab Massaquoi if you have a roster spot to spare, but he’ll be a gamble (was two weeks ago the norm? Or last week?) For your running back, I’m almost leaning towards recommending you start Bradshaw over Jacobs, as he seems to do more with his carries. Keep Jacobs in there this week and hope he can find the endzone.
