Need a little advice... Rice has a tuff outing against the Steelers. I also have Beanie Wells, Knowshon Moreno and Felix Jones who I was thinking about starting against their better matchups. Hard to sit my first round pick I know, but last year he only put up 2 points and 4 points in his 2 games vs the Steelers.

Also questioning starting Plaxico Burress over Marques Colston. Admittedly this is probably dumb, but I'm a Packers fan so I think Colston will get shut down.

Thoughts appreciated.

I would personally start Rice, Wells and Moreno as long as it's a standard scoring league with a flex position. I'd also definitely play Colston over Plax.

I expect the game tonight to be high scoring so definitely start Colston over Plaxabang.

I am never sitting Rice, regardless of the matchup.

Golden Rule of Fantasy: Always start your studs. Rice will get so many touches that he's bound to give you a decent score. Plus he gets the goaline duty. Knowshon will lose GL carries to McGahee, so he'll have to break a long one to the house. Felix's match up is just as bad as Rice. Beanie is a decent start but unproven.

Beanie
Felix
Knowshon

I did start Rice, thanks for the feedback. It all came down to the fact that I simply couldn't sit my first draft pick...and your advice. Thanks!
