Who Does Philly Start?

Hey guys... I need some opinions for my money league. Here's the set-up:
12 teams, 3 divisions, H2H, division winners +1 wild card (by record, then total points) make playoffs.
Start: QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1 DST
Standard performance scoring: 1/10 rush/rec yards, 1/25 pass yards, 6 pts for all TDs, -2 FL/Int...
My team:
QB: Carson Palmer, Drew Bledsoe, Brad Johnson
RB: Rudi Johnson, Frank Gore, Reuben Droughns
WR: Lav Coles, Lee Evans, Matt Jones, Troy Williamson, Antonio Bryant
TE: Dallas Clark
K: John Kasay
DST: Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks
Despite starting Droughns over Gore in week one (and getting nothing substantial from Evans or Jones or Panthers D), I managed to eke out a win.
This week, I need some help with choosing my starting 3 WRs because of some matchup issues.
Coles v. NE
Evans @ MIA
Jones v. PIT
Bryant v. STL
Williamson v. CAR
Who are my top three this week? Thanks in advance!

I would go with Evans, Jones and Bryant.
Evans has a good matchup against the Dolphins. Hey if Batch can almost throw for 300 yds, than even J.P. Losman will have a chance against them.
The Jags will have to find a way to pass the ball against PIT because as they proved last year, and last week, no one will be running the ball on Pittsburgh.
Bryant is the only option 10 yds past the line of scrimmage for the niners. And as they proved last week. When the Niners are down, they will air it out to Bryant.
Hope this helps,
O4L

Coles is @NE, not DAL. As such, I think I'd start him. The NE D is not what it was, and Losman put up some offense on them last week. I'd start him.
I agree with O4L on Bryant.
I totally disagree on Jones. Avoid starting anything against PIT right now. If they get up and force JAX into a passing situation (likely), they'll be blitzing 80% of the time and pressuring Lefty bigtime.
I'd probably go with Williamson as the last starter. I don't like Evans @ MIA as much as O4L. Williamson had a very nice Monday night....at least he would have, were it not for 3 drops. You also get the possibility of a KR with TWill.
Good luck!

Hey, Jeffy...  I would go with Coles and Bryant for sure. After that, it's a bit of a coin flip... I have a hunch about,... get this,... Matt Jones (who you StegsList.com-ies know I'm not all too high on) this week. Pittsburgh's D is the REAL DEAL. I had them ranked #1 (over "there") all preseason. I love 'em, and I don't love Matt Jones. That said, visions of HUMUNGOUS Jimmy Smith efforts against Pittsburgh are dancing in my head. It just seems like the Steelers secondary, which can tend to "overplay"/be over-agrressive, can get burnt by a fast guy, and Jones, from what I gather is the fastest of the three, Wilford and Williams being the other two. While I like Wilford more qua receiver (in the long run), it just seems like Jones has the right set of tools to poise him for a big day against Pittsburgh. It's a risk, though... Make no mistakes! But, Evans's and Williamson's matchups are rough (too), but without the (what I perceive to be) upswing (both Carolina and Miami, two teams who many have slated to make the Super Bowl, are pissed and are going to be looking to shut down their, respectively, intra-conference and intra-DIVISION, opponents). Good luck whatever you decide, man!

OK... another WR question for you.
I currently have:
Laveranues Coles, Lee Evans, Antonio Bryant, Matt Jones, and Troy Williamson. (Start 3 each week)
Currently on waivers:
Joey Galloway, Michael Clayton, Mike Furrey, Chad Jackson, Eric Moulds, Josh Reed, Peerless Price, Wes Welker, and Greg Lewis.
I'm definitely keeping Coles and Bryant, and Evans seems to be coming on of late. Williamson has played some tough secondaries recently, but gets a bit of a break in the future. Matt Jones is part of a fairly even WRBC in Jax.
Do you see any moves that should be made? I'm contemplating dropping Jones for either Galloway (not sure about his QB sitch) or Furrey (has been getting a LOT of looks, but he's not proven). I could also drop Michael Robinson as a RB and add another WR too.
Thoughts? I appreciate it.

hmmmm, not sure I see a time when you'd start Jones over your other 4 WRs. Detroit is airing it out big and (as you said), Furrey is getting a lot of looks with BMW in the doghouse.
I'd take a chance on Furrey. Moulds isn't really a step up from Jones; the TB QB sitch means avoid all TB WRs; no other WW candidates will be consistent enough to warrant a roster spot, IMO.
So really, it's Furrey or nothing (no move). Keep Jones? Is Furrey an early aberration? That's the call isn't it....I think Leftwich has proven he'll never be a truly elite QB, and Furrey has a hot streak going. I'd give him a shot.

I would start Coles, Bryant and Williamson this week. In your lineup, Coles and Bryant are pretty much your standard start each week. I personally think that Williamson is going to come out of Detroit big this Sunday. I actually picked up Williamson in my other league just for the fact the I can "feel" it. Especially if they move the game to Monday night. (Go Twins!!)
As far as your possible WW acquisitions, Im with cptpurple, Furrey is pretty much your best bet if you really want to acquire another WR. But I would say that Jones is on the same level as Furrey is as far as looks and capability.
Good Luck

No, I wouldn't pick any of those scabs up, and week in and week out, until "further notice", so to speak, I would go with Coles, Evans and then Bryant or Williams based on matchup and such. My take is not to overthink this one. Good luck!

i don't know if you can consider Furrey bottom of the barrel though. Travis Taylor...now THERE'S bottom of the barrel!
How many owners ran out to get Colston after week 2, when he was avg. 4 for 54 and 1 TD? Not too many believers, but if you took the "on a hot streak" approach, you were handsomely rewarded.
Such is the case with Furrey, IMO. He's familiar with Martz system, and is getting a ton of looks. In two weeks, we could be saying  "Why did/didn't I grab him!"
WRs are notorious for being flaky in FF. There's always a handful of guys that step up out of nowhere and have terrific seasons. Galloway and McCardell in the last couple years alone.
I think he's worth a roster spot over a guy like Jones right now.

Alright... got a bye-week issue to deal with. My only TE (Dallas Clark) is off this week. I need to head to the WW for a one-week replacement and there's not too much to get excited about.
Here are the guys who are already on a roster:
K Winslow, T Heap, LJ Smith, A Gates, H Miller, D Clark, D Clark2, Gonzo, Ben Watson, Randy McMichael, Jeremy Shockey, Eric Johnson, Alge Crumpler, Alex Smith, Chris Cooley, Jason Witten, Bubba Franks
Does anyone have a gut feeling for a TE who could get a few catches or a TD grab? Any chance Jeremy Shockey sits out this week and Visanthe Shiancoe gets a few looks? Anyone else worth mentioning?

...wr is always flavor o' the week - but the week seems to be lining up that way....good luck mate, 
Both options are ultimately... 
Maybe, rolling your dice on Stevens is your best bet, but that's more a function of the slim pickings available to you this week than his being a good pick-up this week. Good luck!
