    Need validation on this one.

    I have Gore, LaMont Jordan, Kenny Watson and Kevin Jones this week and I'm starting three of them (2 RB and 1 at the flex).

    As of now, I'm starting Gore vs. Giants, Watson vs. Jets and Jordan vs. Chiefs.

    This a good call or should I sit Gore for Jones? I feel like it may be interchangeable, but who knows how well Gore will play today against the NY Def.

    I've got RB/WR and WR/TE flex spots to fill.
    Considering we get 0.5 points per reception and 1 pt. for every 60 return yards (3 at 150 yards)
    who should I start in those slots:
    - J. Jones (Dal.)
    - K. Walter (Hou)
    - L. Washington (Jets)
    - D. Northcutt (Jax)
    - L. Evans (Buff.)

    I'm leaning toward Jones and Walter, but am thinking with how tough the Vikes' run defense is maybe I should throw someone else in there. With how bad Cincy is, I'm almost tempted to go with Washington and see if he can break off a return for a TD or have a big day splitting time with T.Jones.

    Play Gore. He's better than Kevin Jones on every level, even against a good defense.

    TD-only league
    I need two of the following:

    S.Alexander v. STL
    W.Dunn at NO
    K.Faulk at Mia
    T.Jones at Cin

    Alexander and Jones. There's no defense in St. Louis or Cincinnati. Of course, New Orleans and Miami aren't too good, either.

    Sure Mike, go ahead and skip my question :D

    I'd go with your gut on that one. Northcutt's playing a tough team, as is Evans. I'd say it's a toss-up between Jones and Washington. However, Washington is playing against a hapless defense, while Jones isn't.

    Pardon me for doing some research, my friend. I got side-tracked checking my own teams -- which I nearly forgot to do.

    But I aim to please, sir.

    By process of elimination, I'd go with Walter and Washington. Jones is basically a backup now, plus he's going against a good defense. Northcutt's nothing special, although he is the Jags' best option right now. You could maybe slide him into Washington's spot. And Lee Evans just sucks. I hate Lee Evans.
    Walter probably won't do what he did last week, but with Johnson still out he'll get some looks. And Washington should at least get you a few points on returns yards against Cincy. The Bengals will score some points, which means a few kickoffs, which means 15-20yards a return pretty easily.

    No problem.... hence the smiley after my comment.
    Thankfully I've only got two teams
