Ahman Green, by far, over one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

Boston probably is NOT playing this week, so I think you're looking at Brown or Bolden.

I personally am skeptical about Bolden's Week 1 performance, so I'd stick with the more consistent FF performer in Brown. Brady will also be out to prove something this week, so Brown should be the beneficiary of that major stick up his arse.

You gotta' go with Ahman Green at running back. As for wide receiver, that's a REAL TOUGHIE. I would go with Troy Brown. The Eagles DB's and defense in general has taken some hits and Seattle's DB's and defense is coming together and very underrated. Also, law of averages, Bolden is likely to come down Week 2 while Brown (as well as Brady) is likely to rebound; it's not like the balls don't go in his direction.

Go with ahman and boldin.I know he is a rookie but he has done what no body could do for over 55 years.Not to mention the fact that the 3 starting wrs for arizona are either out or doubtful.I think by the end of the season everyone will know who boldin is.One other thing you need to remember is that arizona will be playing from behind all season.That means 40 or 50 passes a game,he is bound to catch a few of those ;)

Brown plays against the Philly D this week. Boldin plays the Seahawks' secondary. The question is just if Boldin is a one week wonder or for real. If he's for real, he has the better shot. I just don't know how much to trust it.

Ahman Green against a miserable Detroit defense.

If healthy, Boston. If not, Troy Brown will definently get 60-70 yards TD.

Ahman is a given.

Your WR decision is a little tougher. I would go with Brown - Brady has to have a better day this week. Bolden is too much of a gamble for me, I could be wrong, but I don't see defenses "overlooking" him from here on out. Boston scares me more and more every time I hear about him (steroid use/injury risk). I am really hoping he plays this week and has a decent performance so I can trade him (I have him in two leagues and am not playing him) with some value.

Green for sure.

As for WR, I'd lean towards Brown as well. Brady has to rebound, doesn't he? [smiley=shrug.gif]

Green will be counted on more this week with the GB receivers being banged up.

For WR, go with Brown. He gets plenty of looks and with Bobby Taylor and Brian Dawkins out, NE could get some decent chances.

RBs - unless the Packers rest Green and get Davenport more involved (like they say they want to do). The Pack has receiver problems this week, but a tough schedule ahead. And the Texans want to get the ball to Mack as much as possible this week (playing an injured DL).
