Who to start in week 3?

Okay, love this time of year...

Playing best friend and rematch of the butt whopping I gave him in last year's Fantasy Super Bowl.

Good team, just trying to play right guys for the week. Need 2 WR's, 2RB's and one WR/RB as my Flex player. We get points for punt and kick returns also.

Brees at QB - sweet!

WR - Roddy White vs. NE

Hines Ward vs. Cin

DeShaun Jackson vs. KC

RB - Clinton Portis vs. Det - usually no brainer but he couldn't score of StL???

Mike Bell vs. Buf

Leon Washington vs. Ten

Thomas Jones vs. Ten

Michael Bush vs. Den

Clifton Smith vs. NYG - great return guy is all

Nedney is K

Minnesota is D

Update:

It's a PPR league. So points for every return yard and TDs

    I say start:

    R White

    H Wards

    Clinton Portis

    Leon Washington

    DShaun Jackson as your flex.

    Mike Bell is injuried and T Jones is losing carries to Washington, Mi Bush is also losing carries to D McFaddena and J Fargas. C Smith is a great return guy, but when you say you get points for punt/kick returns is that yardage? or TD only? If yardage then you can consider starting him as your flex.

    GOOD LUCK

    rough ..

    DeSean - groin injury, might not practice this week. i'd start him if he's active though

    Bell - sprained MCL .. won't practice, may not play .. he's probably a scratch. If he plays, he's #3 behind Pierre/Reggie.

    White - not getting the targets yet, too good to sit though

    Leon - automatic since you get return yards. he has ~40 touches through two games.

    Portis - sort of have to, given your options

    that leaves the last spot, assuming DeSean can play. I'd guess Ward was one, tossup Jones/Bush if needed.
