Who should I start? Week 9 Fantasy Football. TE and RB?

Ok I am in what I think is a pretty good situation this week, but I can not decide who to start.

At TE it is between Antonio Gates and Dallas Clarke.... I am leaning towards Clarke because Harison may be out, and Clarke may have to pick up the slack.

RB its a lot tougher, I have Larry Johnson - who was struggling but can he come back with a 3rd good week. Marion Barber (I think he is a beast, the cowboys would be soooo much better if they just ran him), Kevin Jones (saved me last week), Brian Westbrooke (benched him twice and he has burnt me, everytime I play him he is ok or struggles. I can only start two of these guys.

Thanks

    Go with Gates he is averaging over 90 per game and Chambers should free him up for more not hurt him. I would start LJ because he is a good RB and will be recieving 95% of the carries and then I would say risk it and go Westrook because he is there redzone guy and with LJ Smith back he will get some better blocking. Barber is a great RB but doesn't recieve enough carries and Jones is too iffy.

    te - antonio gates because chargers are going against minnesota that has a very bad passing def but good rushing def. so they'll pass more. gates is either 1st or 2nd person that rivers passes to. he'll get around 100+ yds with 1 or 2 td's

    rb - brian westbrook (beast, top 5 rb's in the league), kevin jones (i like his matchup.)

    def .dallas clark just because marvin is out and thats there guy thats invisible to the opponents eye... Brain westbrook is sick man always very good every week and marion barber they'll be running it alot especially to him i think it will be a run game for dallas
