Shaun Alexander and Vernon Davis are injured for me, with Javon Walker and the Steelers having byes. Yay. I have Addai starting in Alexander's place, but need help deciding how to replace to rest:

WR: Doug Gabriel or Marques Colston

TE: Bunch of scrubs, including: Chris Baker, Bo Scaife, Mark Bruener, Daniel Wilcox, John Gilmore, Dan Campbell... basically, is there any normally-crappy TE out there that you think can do well this week? Eric Johnson was just picked up (beat me in waiver order), and Jason Witten is on waivers until Sunday (otherwise he'd be my permanent replacement)...

D/ST: Dolphins, Saints, Bengals, Bills, Jets, Packers, Vikings... same thing as with TEs... is there any D/ST out there that can have a strong week?

Thanks in advance.

Colston definitely. Horn and Bush seem to be getting all the attention and Colston is getting the ball a ton.

Defense I would go with Bengals. They have been forcing turnovers and getting a good number of sacks so far.

Good luck with the Tight End situation.

Jason Witten is on waivers until .

Someone needs to be kicked out of your league.

Bo Scaife was good for me last weekend during the bye week of Antonio Gates and Jason Witten.

Yeah, to add the Chargers D... which I dropped last week to pick up someone, and I forget who now... I hope I can get him on Sunday, since he'll at least be able to start every week.

Troupe burned be the one week I tried to use him (and Vernon Davis had 7 points :p)... think Scaife is being used better with the Titans?

Marion Barber III or Maurice Jones-Drew?

Marion Barber III or Maurice Jones-Drew?

I'm thinking Barber is going up against the lesser defense in the Titans, and gets more regular carries too...

How about Deuce or M. Barber as my third runningback?

didn't Denny said that Leinert is starting?

He retracted that on Tuesday. Warner is starting.

I don't like either option rowech, Warner at Atlanta or Brees at Carolina?, but personally I would start Brees. Im concerned about how long Dennis Green lets Warner play.

ok i got some interesting situations

Frye or Culpepper - Gut says Frye vs terrible raiders.. but

flex spot - Droughns (with his shoulder issue) / Barlow (Vs the colts? Hell, all the jets rb's are availible on the wire) / Morris(Vs the bears? no way) / Branch (Vs the bears?) / S. Moss (Vs the jaguars?)

as you can see.. some real crappy issues this week

Trust me....neither do I. It really boils down to which one I think has a chance at a TD or two.

Gabriel instead of Colston. The Saints are coming off a short week and play in Carolina and will probably come off the sugar rush of playing in New Orleans for the first time since Katrina on Monday Night Football.

The Dolphins defense might be a good one since they're playing Houston.

Droughns or Maurice Morris for flex rb?

You must have forgot the Bengals were playing the Patriots.
