This week? Cuz you need to switch every week if you want to win.
Brees already played so... Young at QB. Brees next week.
RB
Jackson
Johnson
James and Peterson can be spot starters. If you use 3 RBs, take James this week. Maybe Peterson moves up after a few weeks if he performs well and they limit the sharing with Chester.
WR
Driver
Johnson
Colston if you need a third this week. Cotchery is good spot.
TE
Heap
K
Kaeding
DEF
Probably exclusively Baltimore
If you have a WR/RB slot, make it a back. Probably James./

That team is awesome. How did you get rudi Johnson and Steven Jackson. You might want to look at trading Edge for a reciever.
You should start Brees over Young definately. Steven Jackson and Rudi Johnson should start the entire season.

Don't worry about Brady Quinn, rookie QB's never have good fantasy seasons. Drop LJ Smith, he's going to be hurt all year long. See if Bo Scaife or Eric Johnson are available as a backup. Both of those guys will be top 8 TE's this year, so if you're confident in my opinion and they're available, trade Heap for whatever you can get. Scaife played with Young in Texas and young QB's like their TE as a safety valve. Young is a better passer than Vick, but bad passers like to have that dump off TE, a la, Alge Crumpler. Eric Johnson was an awesome pass-catching TE on a bad San Fran team when healthy. Now that's on a high-powered offense in New Orleans, he'll be even better. Everyone thinks Colston is this huge stud, but I think he was more of a prodcut of teams trying to double team Horn, and worry about Bush and McAllister out of the backfield. I don't think Colston will perform as well as he did last year which means Brees will need a consistent receiving threat and that will be Johnson, after Bush of course. No matter what anyone says, New Orleans WR's are mediocre at best. Their backfield makes defenses stay true and Brees makes them look good. When you have no receivers, you need a TE, a la Gates in San Diego or Gonzalez in KC. Trade Heap, drop LJ, and pick up Scaife and Johnson.
Also, judging by your team, I assume you're in a pretty small league and Welker will be available to pickup at WR. I think Cotchery will have a decent year, but I love Welker's chances in New England. He did extremely well in crappy Miami without Brady throwing to him. He will be the best WR on N.E., I gaurantee it. Plus, if your league rewards return yards, Welker's value is huge.
WR's - Driver will have a bum ankle all year long. I've already said what I don't like about Colston. Calvin is a rookie and his coach says he hasn't earned the starting #2 WR spot on the Lions yet. He hasn't earned a starting spot on the Lions, the Lions, wow. I think that's more a product of Marinelli being a moron, but Calvin is still a rookie, so it's quesionable what he's going to do this year. If you can package Heap and Colston for a stud WR or 2 very good ones, I'd do it. Colston's value is way higher than it should be and if you can find someone who values him as highly as you obviously do, then hopefully they need a TE, and bam, you should be able to revamp your questionable receiving corps. T.O will be huge this year and you may be able to get a T.O. and maybe a Santonio Holmes, who will also breakout this year.
Listening to my advice, you new WR's would be T.O., Driver, Holmes, Calvin, and possibly Welker, and your TE's would be Scaife and Johnson. Believe me, that's better than what you have.

How did you get both Stephen Jackson and Rudi Johnson? QB, RB, TE and DEF are all exellent. You might want to trade Edge for a better reciever though.

great team, but i think you should trade someone like rudi johnson who wont play or your backup tight end for a better wide reciever core. Thats all your missing. Id give you a 9.5
