standard scoring.......I need a back to start this week and L.Gordon gives it to me. What is your opinion???

tough call!

The Jones for Gordon part is pretty good IMO. And I think I know The_Dog enough to know giving up Terrell for any Puker is gut-wrenching, but I'm gonna say do it.

Fargas is a throw away IMO. At best, stick him on the bench and hope something happens later. With Wheatley and Zack "TD Vulture" Crockett around, as well as a decent group of receivers for Gannon, I don't see Fargas getting much. As I said, I like the Jones4Gordon part. Terrell4Driver is probably a step back, considering the absence of weapons in ChiTown vs GB. Driver has to compete with 5-6 other people for his catches. Terrell competes with 2-3.

If you're deep enough at receiver, or desperate enough at RB, I'd do it.

GO VIKES!

I'd be hesitant to do that one. Are you sure that Lamar Gordon for Julius Jones is a wash? Sure, Lamar is a sure starter, but it's for a weak offensive team. Lamar looked good running the ball behind a solid Rams offensive line in the past, with Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce getting a lot of attention from the safeties. I think I'd take my chances with Jones. He was inactive in week one because of missing a meeting before the game (and the fact that he was recovering from a minor injury made that decision easier). I doubt he'll miss a meeting this week and Eddie George inspired no confidence in Parcells, so Jones could be THE man.

Fargas is a waiver-wire player in most leagues. Terrell has a better chance at numbers than Driver because of less competition at the position.
