Everybody that he said^^^ EXCEPT Manning: instead put gus

[rchurchward]

I dunno, I might stick with Peyton. Last time against the Ravens he threw for 250 yards and 4 TD's. Even though the Ravens are 1st in the league against the pass, Peyton has enough targets (Reggie, Marvin, Anthony, Addai, Clark) to light them up, hopefully. Frerotte against Detroit is a favorable match up, but who is he going to throw the ball to when Detroit is allowing nearly 200 yards rushing a game and the Vikings have that guy named Adrian Peterson, who put up 116 yards and 2 TD's last year.

ahh good point. I was afraid of matching Manning up against that Baltimore D but I didn't think of Detroits weak rush defense. If Gus could do what Orton did, I would stick with him but with AP who knows.

you guys still think I should start Jones even though he isn't the starter? If Buckhalter gets the start, I could have a favorable matchup against the San Fran D. Dwill is iffy going against the bucs so I know I won't be starting him.

You could be right with Buckhalter. It just depends really if Westbrook goes or not. Broken ribs won't feel good, especially for an RB. Buckhalter is a good pick against San Fran, who is not good against the rush this year (23rd). But they're equally as bad (21st) against the pass, and with Donovan looking to Jackson, Brown, Avant, etc, his carries could be split.

true, Westbrook was a target for McNabb, Buckhalter hasn't been when he has played. I haven't seen many dallas games so I don't know how they are splitting the carries there.

well I really need to establish solid WR and RB positions. Anyone you guys think I could add? The big names are gone of course but looking for some opinions on who else I could add. Jackson I added before the season and really saved me.

Hopefully you took my advice and went with Manning :)
