Who to start Week 4?

Ok, so I've got either Deuce McAllister vs. Carolina or Kevin Jones vs. St. Louis. I'm leaning towards Deuce, but Jones had a very nice game on Sunday. Any advice?

Even Edge had a good day with a bad OL vs the Rams. Start Jones, he's the best option.

Depends on your league scoring. If you get points for receptions, start Jones. Otherwise, its a toss up. If it were me in a league that doesn't award rec points, I'd probaby still go with Jones. Bush will continue to eat into Deuce's numbers...

Should I start:

Edge vs. Atlanta or
Julius Jones vs. Tennessee

I know Jones has the better matchup, but I like Edge. Thoughts?

Edit: Also, should I start:
Grossman vs. Sea
Pennington vs. Ind
Bledsoe vs. Tenn (if I did that, I would sit Julius Jones)

It's not a big deal anyway, it happens in nearly every thread in the Team Discussions forum..

I'de start Pennington, actually, I am starting Pennington over Hasselback vs the Chicago D.

The other 2 Jones's besides Thomas are a good start this week.

Deuce is up against a pretty good D, and he's sharing carries. Jones is up against a terrible D....Jones is an easy call here, in-fact he should be starting over Deuce every week.

Jones is the obvious choice over Edge, like I said in my previous post, it should be like that every week...let alone a week where Jones is going up against a bad D and Edge is playing a good D. I don' tknow why people still consider Edge to be a good fantasy back...he'll be lucky to break 100 yards at all this season behind that OL.

As for the QB's...call me a homer, but I wouldn't start anyone against Seattle. Pennington however is facing a D that let David Carr throw for 219 and 3 TDs, completing 84% of his passes. Bledsoe is out of the question, not just because you are (or should) start Jones, but also because he's terrible.

How is it a new topic? The title of the thread is "Who to start week 4." Instead of starting my own thread and further cluttering the board, I figured I would just post my own question here since it is the same topic but for a different team. We don't need 100 fantasy threads a week, we can share threads.

However, I do thank you and everyone else who answered my question. I am going with Jones and Pennington. And XTrent, I still think Edge is a good fantasy back because he's averaging 12.7 points a week in my league, better than Jones so far. He may not get the yards, but he gets the TDs. That may change with time, but for now he's still a good fantasy back.

Fair enough SS. I'll lighten up.

And Jones is averging 12.5....the difference is Jones will get better. Edge isn't going to get 94 yards a TD every week, he has 2, maybe 3 more games like that left (SF, Stl, Oak).

It's sad when a 94 yard 1 TD game is inflating a RB's numbers.

One of the reasons I like Edge for fantasy football is because of the weak divission he's in. That's 4 big games a year at least. And even against tougher opponents, he's still good for some points. And he was my second round pick.

Well, he's already had 2 of those 4 "big" games, and they weren't that big. If that's all he can muster against the 49'ers and Rams, he's in trouble against real defenses.

Probably, but I selected him with the 19th pick of the draft pre-season, and at that spot, I couldn't pass on the guy. And if he doesn't keep up the good work, Julius Jones can step into his spot on the roster and do just fine.

[SimeonSack]

I'm happy I went with Jones, he got more than double the points that Edge got. However, Pennington did the worst of my 3 QBs. Grossman and Bledsoe both would've been better starts. I think I'm going to make Grossman my official starter unless Pennington faces a really good matchup. I still don't trust Bledsoe.
