...and now I need to make a decision for my super FLEX position (WR / RB / TE)! FLEX sit-or-start: Eddie Lacy vs the 49ers? Jordan Cameron vs the Dolphins? Mark Ingram vs the Falcons? Sidney Rice vs the Panthers? Ryan Broyles vs the Vikings?
I'd go with Cameron. 49ers run D is good and GB goes with a stable of backs, Pierre Thomas and Sproles SHOULD get the majority of the touches out of the backfield for the Saints, Rice really isn't a big numbers guy by any means, and Broyles is a ? right now.
Those are some damn good running backs to choose from i'd go with Foster: The is a lot of rumors of a split workload for week one and part of the season but he will get the goal line work still and thats what matters with Foster MJD: MJD is back to to 2011 form and the Jaguars suck at anything having to do with throwing the ball. I expect MJD to get 25 carries at least.
I feel bad for anyone, who like me, had to play Manning last night. I played vs him in all three of my leagues and the lowest point total he put up was 47, going to start out 0-3 this year lol.
Foster and MJD are a solid bet...the Dolphins run D was surprisingly good last year and for the Browns, Norv Turner is at the helm so you can expect many pass attempts in the red zone.
...I forgot to add my defense dilemma -- which team is the best option to start at D/ST: Bengals vs Bears? Bucs vs Jets?

Pretty close, I give edge to Romo. Here is a write up of the two: Romo vs New York Giants (Good matchup) - NFC East divisional games are always hard-fought affairs, and the Giants/Cowboys rivalry is no exception to this general statement. This time around, the Cowboys will enjoy home field advantage, and Tony Romo comes into the contest with all his main targets healthy and ready to play - Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Jason Witten are set for prime-time on Sunday Night Football. In the third preseason game, Romo tore up the Bengals for 13/18 yielding 137 yards passing, two TDs an zero interceptions, hitting both Austin (six for 4/59/1 receiving, led the team) and Bryant (seven for 6/54/1) for TD passes on the way to a 24-18 win. The Cowboys' attack is in fine form as regular season kicks off. The Giants' pass D was ranked 28th in the NFL last year, averaging 254.2 net passing yards allowed per game, with 26 passing TDs offset by 21 interceptions (tied for third in the NFL) and 33 sacks (22nd in the league). They've lost their top safety, Stevie Brown, to IR already and S Tyler Sash is also on IR. During the third exhibition game, the Jets' rookie starter Geno Smith managed 16/30 for 199 yards passing, one TD and three interceptions vs. the Giants, and they gave up a total of 27/46 for 381 yards, two TDs and three interceptions during the game. Obviously, the Giants still have work to do in this phase of the game. Romo has all his weapons for this divisional showdown, and the Giants' pass D isn't among the league's best. Advantage, Dallas. * * * Wilson at Carolina Panthers (Neutral matchup) - Russell Wilson fizzled in the third preseason game vs. Green Bay, throwing 11/17 for 126 yards passing, zero TDs and two interceptions, while taking three sacks for -27 yards. He's going to be operating without top wide receiver Percy Harvin for much if not all of this year, and Sidney Rice has spent time during training camp getting exotic European treatments on his balky knee, leaving Golden Tate (45/688/7 receiving last year in his third NFL season) as the presumptive #1 wide receiver in the stable. TE Zach Miller is returning from a foot injury - aside from Tate, there aren't a lot of truly 100% healthy options for Wilson entering regular season. We'll see how effective this lineup can be starting this week. Footballguys.com's David Dodds has Wilson as the 13th-best fantasy quarterback for week one - just on the cusp of starting fantasy QB territory. The Panthers' pass D was very disruptive against Baltimore in the third preseason game, generating three interceptions of which two were returned for TDs (there was also a fumble returned for a score during the game) - Joe Flacco was limited to 18/24 for 169 yards, one TD and two interceptions while the starters were on the field. Last year, the Panthers were a mediocre pass D averaging 223 net passing yards allowed per game (13th in the NFL), with 11 interceptions and 39 sacks generated (tied for 23rd and ninth in the NFL, respectively). This unit has started off 2013 playing well. Wilson has a limited cast of characters around him entering regular season, and has to start the season on the road. On balance, this looks like a neutral matchup with neither squad holding an edge over the other.
Thanks ToB -- I will start Romo. Looks like the NYG Defense is pretty banged up. I also have DeMarco Murray so hopefully he throws some TD's his way.
I tried to trade Romo after the draft, but the trade was rejected (Romo/Steven Ridley for Bradford/Trent Richardson). The guy only has Cutler/Bradford and is stacked everywhere else. I kind of think I am going to be swapping these QBs week to week.
