So in my league, we play 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, and 1 Flex that can be any position. I have Aaron Rodgers as my #1 QB, and at RB I can choose between Brandon Jacobs, Jones-Drew, and Fred Jackson. I also have Eli Manning that I like to play as a flex. My question for you all is, one of these players will have to ride "the bench". Who should I sit?

Aaron Rodgers @Rams
Eli Manning @Bucs
Brandon Jacobs @Bucs
Maurice Jones-Drew @Texans
Fred Jackson vs. Saints

Which of these players should sit? The only things I know for sure are, I'm definitely playing Aaron Rodgers and Jones-Drew. I could play Jacobs and Jackson, but Eli would have to sit. Or I can play Eli, and either Jacobs or Jackson. Fred Jackson has been great lately, Eli had a great game against Dallas, but Jacobs hasn't been doing much. I'm just worried if I sit Jacobs, he'll erupt for a 3 TD game. Your suggestions are appreciated.

Sit Jacobs.

I'm definitely thinkin about it. I'm just afraid he'll run wild over Tampa Bay, and what else concerns me is that the Bills will get behind to the Saints early and abandon Fred Jackson and the running game. But I'll probably just take your advice and sit Jacobs. Probably the best idea. Bradshaw is getting a lot of carries anyway.

Wow. That meaning is so different from the first time I heard that question. There was a time I would have replied Raquel Welch, Ann Margret and Jo Ann Worley. Times have sure changed.

THAT fantasy lineup I've already figured out. Let's start at the top.

You do realize after Drew Bree's goes off and the Bills are looking at a twenty plus deficit they will probably abandon the run game right?

Yeah I mentioned that. Definitely concerning. On the flip side of that, Jackson could get a lot of receiving yards on checkdowns and what not. I don't know. I'm torn. Anyone else got any suggestions? HG? Nathan? Warthog?

How's this for you?

Against the Cowboys the Bucs D gave up 118 yards on the ground. They also gave up a combine 462 yards all together. Against the Bills the bucs gave up 218 yards on the ground.

The bucs do not have a good defense and the Saints are probably going to score early and often shutting out the Bills running game. This should be a no brainer. Start Jacobs and bench Jackson.

Sounds like a good plan, the only thing that worries me is that Jacobs has been sharing half the carries with Ahmad Bradshaw so far this season.

I'm leaning towards taking the Bills to pull the upset.
