    You should always try to post the opponents for each player.
    Makes it easier for the pros to pick.

    (As a side note: How cool would it be if the Fantasy Football Forum had a sidebar showing the upcoming week schedule?!!! Awesome idea, yes, thank you Pengwin, I agree. Patting self on back)

    Yep great idea on both points Pengwin. Now just lose in baseball and I won't hate you.....

    As for the question, I would start MJD and Turner. Greene would be tempting after their big win last week but they're up against the Steelers.

    Cross out Smith vs. 49ers and Greene vs. Steelers. Turner, as i've said elsewhere is being phased out in a pass happy offense. His backup, Rodgers is outplaying him. That means i'd take my chances with DeAngelo in what should be a scoring affair. At least he's apart of the teams offense and has a favorable matchup.

    MJD and Williams.

    I agree......DWill scares me but I blame his performance more on the gameplan than anything.

    I hear you. At least people know what to expect from his long-standing timeshare as opposed to Turner's newfound one. Timeshares suck for RBs. They REALLY suck in a pass happy offense for a RB. And then your backup outplays you = Boo for Turner! Dude is close to heing useless in fantasy. Oh, hiw the mighty have fallen. Smh.

    I'd go with MJD and Greene.

    Nooooo Kevin Smith against the Niners this week. (only 1 rushing TD given up by the Niners in the past year!!)

    Deangelo - last week confused the heck outta me. I'd rather not start him with a blindfold on.

    Turner not only was phased out of the Falcons offense but he was actually only on the field for 26 of the Falcons 56 offensive plays (46%). That steers me way clear away from him.

    Now for Greene - Steelers D might scare some people away but I really don't think their D is what it used to be in my opinion. If No-show Moreno can get a TD on them in week 1 I don't see why Shonne Greene can't get one on 'em in week 2. Also, McGahee averaged 4 yards per carry against them (16-64), which are respectable numbers, especially if Moreno didn't steal away his TD.

    Good luck with your decision.

    I agree with everything above. I would go with MJD and Greene. Williams and Turner will be on your waiver wire before long.

    Another thing to consider, Polamalu and Harrison probably won't play this game.
