We invite yo= u to send your own scouting reports and comments on players to: gridguru@co= mmissioner.com . You'll get the chance to be heard by thousands of Fantasy = players just like yourself! =09 Question - Matt Biggins, Los Angeles, CA Which two receivers should I= start this weekend, out of Todd Pinkston, Bill Schroeder, Chris Carter, Te= rry Glenn and James McKnight? Who would you recommend starting out of Duce = Staley, Stephen Davis, Ron Dayne, Kevan Barlow and Jason Brookins? Answe= r - GG As long as Schroeder (ankle) is healthy, he's a must- start agai= nst a Minnesota defense that allowed Charlie Batch to throw for 345 yards a= nd three touchdowns last weekend. Miami has a bye, so McKnight is obviously= not an option. Pinkston and Glenn both have good matchups, but we'd have t= o go with Carter in this case. This season has been very unpredictable, so = going with your most established player in this case is the best move. To a= nswer your second question, we'd recommend Davis against a vulnerable Carol= ina defense and Dayne against Philadelphia. It's tough to choose Davis, but= Barlow has a bye and both Staley and Brookins will be splitting carries at= best, so our hands are tied. =09 Question - Jeff Smith, Tampa, FL I have Jeff Garcia, who has a bye th= is week. I have the option of starting Jim Miller or picking up Chris Weink= e. What do you recommend? Answer - GG Miller has been very inconsist= ent from a Fantasy perspective, so we'd have to side with Weinke. He'll be = facing a Washington defense decimated by injuries and vulnerable to players= like Muhsin Muhammad, Donald Hayes and Wesley Walls. Weinke could have a b= ig game. =09 Question - Scott Buzby, Newark, DE Who should I start this week: Shan= non Sharpe or Bubba Franks? Also, is it time to drop James Thrash? Kevin J= ohnson, Laveranues Coles, Todd Pinkston and Joe Jurevicius are all still av= ailable. Answer - GG Franks has been Brett Favre's favorite target i= n the red zone, but Sharpe is one of the best tight ends in the league. Sha= rpe will always give you good production from the tight end spot, and we hi= ghly doubt that Franks will be able to continue to score touchdowns at his = current pace of one per game. As far as Thrash goes, we feel he's just not = good enough to be facing No.1 cornerbacks on a weekly basis, so his numbers= will be inconsistent at best. Your best bet is to drop him and go after an= other No. 1-caliber wideout like Johnson, who could emerge as a reliable Fa= ntasy player. =09 Tip of the Week Phil Brown, St. Louis, MO: When will people start = giving Priest Holmes the credit he deserves? He is the best offensive optio= n the Chiefs have, and he even has more rushing yards than Marshall Faulk a= fter five weeks. With Dick Vermeil calling the shots in Kansas City, Holmes= will continue to be a productive player all season. =09 This message has been provided free of charge and free of obligation.
