    Who should I start today at WR? I'm deciding between these guys for my last WR slot:

    Donte Stallworth vs. Dallas
    Ted Ginn vs. NYJ
    Jabar Gaffney vs. KC
    Brandon Stokley vs. Oakland

    Stallworth is the best WR of the bunch, but Dallas has the best D of the choices. KC and Oakland have horrific defenses, but Gaffney and Stokley are 3rd or 4th options. And I don't know what to make of Ginn's matchup with the Jets. What do you think?

    With Ginn, you are at least getting a teams main option, although it remains to be seen how productive an option that will be....Gaffney is the 2nd most likley to have a good day in my opinion, because the Patriots should blow the Chiefs out early and he will get a lot of time....

    This is a hard decision Thrilla.

    ~The Browns could also get easily carved up by the Cowboys, meaning Anderson will have to throw the ball most of the game. Although Anderson will be a bit rusty coming off the injury and he hasn't had time to develop chemistry with Stallworth.

    ~You're right about Ginn being a first option. His resume is pretty thin though so he's the second riskiest guy for me. That's not to say I wouldn't take a look at him later on because last year I drafted Brandon Marshall based on very little info.

    ~Jabar definitely seems a tad too risky. He might catch a long pass and prove me wrong, but I wouldn't go through with him in this instance. The game should not be very competitive, limiting his looks to a degree as well.

    ~Brandon Marshall is also suspended for Stokley's first game, meaning Stokley could get more passes shown his way. Brandon is kind of injury prone though and didn't play in Denver's last two preseason games I believe. The Broncos will also look to establish the run first, of course...

    This is a very tough choice, but I'd go with Stallworth because he is a decent option after Edwards and Winslow in this shootout. He has somewhat of a proven record, and has a better matchup than Stokley or Jabar imo. You want some consistency the first few weeks while you feel out your potential sleepers.

    Might be too late but I'd probably go with Gaffney. The Pats like to spread the ball around so hes as much of a TD threat as anyone else on there and I don't see KC slowing them down. Belicek isn't gonna take his foot off the gas if they're blowing them out either. Re: stokely, keep in mind the Raiders rush defense sucked last year and their pass defense was among the best in the league. The Broncs are gonna run the ball a lot and if its successful why would they even want to challenge Asomogha, Hall, Routt, Huff, etc?

    Stallworth tweaked his groin in the pregame, Christ...
