Brian Westbrook obviously did amazing things last week. My fantasy team (and many others) loved it. That being said, the Eagles travel to the Meadowlands to face a Giants team that looks unstoppable. I'm thinking about sitting him to play Peyton Hillis. The Broncos host my beloved Chiefs, whom I have seen get shredded on the ground week after week (of course they've been shredded through the air as well). It seems to me that Hillis is the play with more upside. Which is the better start?
 
Receiver advice would also be appreciated. Starting Boldin & Wayne. For my 3rd WR spot need to chose from Driver, S. Moss, & Breaston. This is not a PPR league.

Thanks guys

I would start Westbrook he is there offense and will get his numbers.  As for the WR I don't know what I would do, it seems like a toss up.  I would narrow it down to Driver or Breaston.

I stick with Westbrook no matter what  ... He is fantasy gold 
 
I shelf  S. Moss against the Ravens D
 
Tough call with Breaston or Driver.... Arizona should be able to score at will against a   Rick Venturi St. Louis D. Driver has had a very quiet year clearly Aaron prefers Jennings as a target.
 
I'm hoping both have a good week, gun to my head I play Breaston.

you would be absolutely crazy to start westbrook.  that entire team is in disarray.  the giants are going to limit the eagles to 200 yds of offense, and westbrooks numbers will be close to what he put up in a 5 quarter game in their tie to the bengals. 
 
i have westbrook on a couple of teams, and in both of them i would trade westbrook straight up for hillis if i could.  all of the playoff matchups for the eagles are sub-par, and i do not see westbrook getting 100 yds in a game for the rest of the year!

Thanks for the opinions guys.
Have another league where I'm in a win and in situation. 8 team league and we start 18 spots. Need some advice on some W/R positions. League scoring is:
.1 per yard
.25 rush attempt
.5 per reception
6 TD
 
Need to start 5 of the following:
Desean Jackson
Anthony Gonzalez
Vincent Jackson
Maurice Morris
Amani Toomer
Matt Jones
Jabar Gaffney
Davone Bess

In Canada do they play FF? Except do they use CFL players instead of NFL? These are questions I must have answers to....you are Canadian right?

Blstuart,

I'm in the same boat sort of. I have Addai and was thinking about benching him. What do you think?

My Sites has Driver across the board and the following for Wetbrook and Hillis. Who is your number 2 RB? 

Westbrook 14 Hillis 12

Westbrook 16 Hillis 3

Westbrook 9 Hillis 6

Thanks for your time!

one of the most important rules for the playoffs is....start your studs, start the guys you know will get you points....do not let you beat yourself....make the other guy beat you.
 
Hillis though on paper, he has a great matchup....but one early fumble and shanahan could pull him and he's done....his situation is a little more volatile. Westbrook will be in there, they will probably be down and have to throw, so he should rack up the PPR.
 
I'd start hillis if I had no one else but I'd don't think I'd start him over westbrook.
 
GL in your decision.

Who is your other RB besides Addai?

You ask who my number 2 back is. I'd don't really have one. I have Westbrook, Gore, & LT. I call them 1a, 1b, and 1c

I started Vincent Jackson the other night (thanks Homegrown, great call), and I currently have Morris, Toomer, Desean Jackson, & Matt Jones at those other 4 spots. I picked up Choice the other day and now I see Barber won't play. Steelers do have the best rush D, but I do get a quarter a point per carry. Is Choice a good start this week? If so, which of those 4 players do I sit to play him.

Thanks everyone

Not sure if they play fantasy football with Canadian players, I know I sure don't nor does anyone I know
to be totally honest I didnt even know the grey cup (Canadian superbowl) was on until I read the apper the next day saying Calgary won

I've never heard of any Canadian fantasy football, but who the hell knows. We are going to start a Big 12 fantasy football league next year. You can have one non Big 12 player and everyone else must be from the conference. Could be kinda interesting.

how would you play CFL fantasy football., there are only 8 teams??  i guess it would have to be one of those salary cap type leagues instead of a draft or whatever
