J. Delhomme against Arizona — could post good numbers???

M. Bulger against Seattle — a good team but he’s been my better q-back.

What do you think?

Marshall Faulk against Seattle or Fred Taylor against New England?

Take Bulger and Faulk. They can combine for more points added to your total. The only downside is both of them having a bad day; it’s a small downside, though.

Delhomme and Taylor just don’t have as much motivation, either. No playoffs in the near future.

Uh, disregard that about Delhomme- but start Bulger anyway.

Those are the ones I was planning to start but then I started to second guess myself. It’s good to have a second opinion. 🙂

I’d go Bulger and Faulk too. NE’s on a roll, otherwise I’d take Taylor any other day.

How’d we do? Neither Taylor or Faulk had any TDs today, but Faulk had alot of yards, so if they score yardage (and you listened to us!) Faulk was the right call. With the safety, It’sa toss up between Bulger and Delhomme, it depends o how your league scores. Did we do well? Will you ever trust us again?
