Barber and Johnson are no-brainers, but choosing between Cutler and Garrard has got me flipping a coin, and I’ve got a lot of mediocrity at my other WR/flex spots. I’m pretty sure I’ll also start Forte (rookie, but unquestioned starter), and I’m leaning towards Mendenhall (not starting, but should get goal-line carries) and Coles (on a crappy team, but a #1 WR is a #1 WR). Thoughts?  
\*My league has small bonuses for yardage, but only if you top 100 yards rushing/receiving or 300 yards passing. For example, 99 yards rushing = 0 points.

And **Really Not All That Bright**? I sure hope you’re wrong about Scobee…

I’d go with Cutler over Garrard just for the potential. Jacksonville has a great backfield tandem with MJD and Fragile Fred (who has been anything but over the past couple of years) and their receivers are a little banged up. Cutler will be missing Marshall but they’re playing the Raiders and (who, admittedly, have some pretty good corners) I think that, in general, the Broncos will have a greater commitment to the passing game.
