Yeah this is my first year playing FFB. That's why I'm so active on these boards with it I guess.

4 leagues and I'm 6-0, 5-1, 4-2, 4-2 so far.

This week's difficult choice is between Rashard Mendenhall and Glen Coffee. Which do I start in my WR/RB flex spot to compliment Deangelo Williams and Frank Gore? I also have Pierre Thomas on the bench.

Espn's projection blurbs...

Mendenhall vs. MIN: Even with Willie Parker back last week, Mendenhall still put up a solid 11-point performance, and got 17 carries in the process. Now that coach Mike Tomlin has reportedly admitted that Mendenhall will remain the lead guy, we like Rashard to put up the better numbers against the Williams Wall, though if he doesn't manage to score, it could be ugly for all the Pittsburgh backs.

Coffee vs. HOU: His fantasy value this week is closely tied to Frank Gore's health; if Gore is limited or worked in slowly during midweek practices, then it's possible Coffee might share carries with him to some degree. Considering they'll both be battling a sorry Texans run defense, there's flex-play appeal for Coffee if Gore appears limited heading into the week.

Thomas vs. MIA: All of the headaches a matchup with the Dolphins' run defense creates fall entirely upon Thomas' shoulders. This defense ranks third in terms of fewest yards per game allowed, and Thomas, of course, is more yardage than touchdown guy for the Saints at this point. Oh, those dreaded committees, how they can kill a back's fantasy potential in matchups like these.
