I did end up playing ROmo and thankfully he did well. I also played Smith. I picked up Avery but couldn't get him in my lineup in time, so hopefully both Meacham and Colston pull some good numbers, cause those are the other WRs I have in my lineup besides Smith. I also used Seattle, so we'll see how that goes too. Thx No problem…I know you guys are busy…Thx for the response though. I did end up playing ROmo and thankfully he did well. I also played Smith.

I'd start Rock Cartwright over Matt Forte if that is an option. At receiver, go with Marques Colston and Donnie Avery if you can get him still (I'm assuming you already played Steve Smith? For your flex spot, go with Matt Forte and hope he has another 8 catch, 120 yard performance to compliment his 30 yards or so he gets on the ground. For your defense, go with Seattle against Kyle Boller and the Rams for sure. Sorry we didn’t get to this before the Thursday games Lindsay, but who did you end up playing?

The Jaguars defense is a heck of a lot worse than the Redskins at slowing down opposing quarterbacks and the last time McNabb faced Washington, he had one of his worst games of the season. I know the Eagles will throw a lot, but I'm thinking the 49ers will as well and Smith could be in for one of his three touchdown games.

I have Romo as my QB and he has been seriously lacking the past 2 weeks. My B/U is Orton, but I don't really want to play him either. I could pick up Hasselback or A. Smith? Also for receivers, I need 3, I have Colston, Smith (nyg), L. Evans, Collie, Meacham, Floyd, Bess...I can also get D. Avery of the FA list. For RBs I need 2...I have R. Williams(obvious), Forte, R. Cartwright...there isn't anything on waivers or the FA list except J. Lewis, C. Taylor, K. Faulk and Buckhalter. I also need a flex option from the above names. I am in a PPR league, so that is the only consolation for Forte since he catches passes more than he runs! And for defense I had Arizona, but am looking to pick up another one...Atlanta or Seattle? THX a bunch! SO I am concerned about all my positions this week. I have Romo as my QB and he has been seriously lacking the past 2 weeks. My B/U is Orton, but I don’t really want to play him either.

I just picked up Alex Smith. Should I start him over Mcnabb. All common sense tells me no, but the way that the skins held him down last time, I am not sure I am a little concerned with Mcnabb this week. I just picked up Alex Smith.

Yes, I did list Ricky Williams twice, maybe in hope that he will give me another double digit showing like last week. Can't beat 30 pts from one player! :) Thanks Brandon!

However, I'd definitely go with McCoy...if only so you don't have to sit and stare at a bad score from Smith all the way until Sunday.

Grab Snelling for sure if you have a chance and Henderson as well. You can drop Bennett and/or Washington for them. Did your waivers already clear?

Anyways, I'd go with Ricky Williams and Brandon Jacobs (with Ahmad Bradshaw out) for your running backs. At wide receiver, go with Devery Henderson, Donald Driver and Steve Breaston.
