First of all, thank you all, especially dred, for the help this past week!!! Much appreciated!!!

Now that you've helped me resolve what to do about S.McNair, I thought that I would ask you my weekly WDIS questions a little earlier this week.

QB (1): Right now I have T.Rattay @ Chi as my starter. If I adjust my roster, I could go with V.Testaverde vs Det instead, but would have to give up either B.Lloyd or J.Chatman to do so.

RB (2+Flex): I have E.James @KC, C.Dillon @Pit and M.Moore vs NYG as my starters. I can't see any reason to start either B.Westbrook or D.Levens vs Balt or J.Chatman vs Oak over any one of them, can you?

WR (3) and TE (1) plus WR/TE Flex (1): Here it gets stickier. With T.Holt on his bye D.Jackson vs Car and RodSmith vs Atl are my obvious starters at WR. But, even though it was announced that A.Boldin @Buf will play, I am reluctant to start him in his first game coming off of his injury against a tough Bills D, there are several combinations that I could use to fill the other positions:
Option # 1: K.Colbert @ Sea, E.Johnson @Chi, B.Lloyd @Chi
Option # 2: K.Colbert @Sea, D.Graham @, E.Johnson @Chi
Option # 3: K.Colbert @Sea, D.Graham @Pit, B.Lloyd @Chi
Option # 4: B.Lloyd @Chi, D.Graham @Pit, E.Johnson @Chi
Which grouping would you recommend that I go with? Or, would you recommend that I go with A.Boldin and some other combination of these receivers?

DEF (1): Both of my defenses got beat up pretty good last week, but I have to go with one of them. Right now, with J.Ogden out and T.Heap doubtful, I have Philadelphia vs Balt penciled in over Seattle vs Car--both should do well at home against weak offenses, but which one will generate more sacks and turnovers? Can you see any reason for me to change my selection here?

I would be most grateful for any advice or suggestions that you might offer. Thanks! And, good luck to everyone with your match-ups this week as well!!!

1. Stick with Rattay. The Dallas offense is awful right now, and the Lions D is playing well.

2. Your starters look good. No changes there.

3. Sit Boldin. He might get in on a few plays, but not enough to make a difference. Sit Colbert too. Panthers offense has been pretty bad, and the Seahawks will certainly rebound at home after being lit up over the last 2 weeks.

For your receivers, go with Option #4. Rattay will light up Chicago - meaning Lloyd and Johnson will get plenty of chances. Eric Johnson is almost like having a wide receiver anyway. Graham might not get a ton of yards vs. the Steelers, but he'll get a few catches and he usually gets a chance to score at least once a game.

4. And if you have the Seahawks D, you better play them. Don't forget Westbrook is out this week too - which means the Ravens offense might be on the field a little longer than you think.

1. I don't know about Rattay..I had him as my starter, but it's undecided as to whether he'll play this week.

2. Starters look good.

3. I'd go with either Option 2 or 4. I lean towards option two because I'm skeptical about having both Johnson and Lloyd starting. It'll be hard for both to have big days IMO.

4. I think i'd also lean towards starting the SEA defense.

Good Luck!!!
