You know the drill by now. Post your Week 7 questions in the comments to this post and we’ll answer them as soon as we see them. Potential trades, who to start and who to bench, free agent pickups, bye week replacements, it’s all fair game.

Ok, I’m back with probably my toughest match-up yet, and I’m playing the guy that got me into this league, so I’d like to kick his ass :p
QB (1)
Brett Favre @ OAK
Ben Rothlisberger @ CIN
RB (2 + FLEX)
LT @ BUF
Frank Gore @ NYG
Brandon Jacobs vs SF
Reggie Bush @ CAR
Jonathan Stewart vs NO
WR (2+FLEX)
Greg Jennings vs IND
Santana Moss vs CLE
Bernard Berrian @ CHI
Torry Holt vs DAL
Eddie Royal @ NE
I’m leaning towards, Favre, Jacobs, Gore, LT, Jennings, and Moss. Really not sure on Moss, or LT though, but not sure who else to go with or if that’s even a good idea.

As much as I hate to marginalize myself, you’ve pretty much got it.
QB, easy, Favre. The Bengals are worse than the Raiders but Favre is having a better year than Big Ben.
For RB, anyone is a must-play against SF so Jacobs is in, Gore consistently defies the team’s overall performance and puts up good numbers and you can’t bench LT, especially now that he’s regaining his form.
As far as WR, Jennings is the easy call, he’s an every-week starter by far. The second is tougher since you can make a good case for three of the four (Holt…not so much). That said I’d actually lean toward Eddie Royal over Moss. Vincent Jackson torched the New England secondary last weekend and Royal is Denver’s deep threat, if they’re smart they’ll go deep early and often and Royal will get huge yardage.
