wes (Nashville, TN) Should I start Vince Young against a good Jags defense? Or should I start Matt Schaub against the Chiefs?
The Jungle Early in the season, I tend to start the best player I have and not worry too much about match-ups. We might think the Jags’ defense is going to be good and the Chiefs’ bad, but we don’t know for sure. At the present time, Vince Young is a better fantasy quarterback than Matt Schaub, so that’s who I’d start until we know more information about this NFL season.

Rick (Houston, TX) First of all I would like to thank you for your ongoing advice in the past few years. With your help, I have won 2 fantasy championships in the past 3 years and I hope to win #4 for 07-08. Quick question...My 2 fantasy defenses are the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys. Clearly, most would say Chicago is a definite start every week, but week 1 they face the San Diego Chargers and the Beast formally known as LT. Alternatively, Dallas plays the G-Men. I'm really leaning toward starting Dallas week 1 and I was just wondering what you think. Appreciate it and keep up the good work
The Jungle First, glad we could help! As to the question, I’m a big fan of Dallas’ defense this year. While I think Wade Phillips is questionable as a head coach, nobody can deny his ability to run a defense, and Dallas’ is filled with talent. Personally I don’t think they’re that far behind Chicago entering this season, and with the Bears against San Diego’s high-powered offense, I’d lean towards Dallas.

Matt (Savannah, GA) I recently completed my draft and want to trade one of my running backs for a receiver because my receivers are lacking in fantasy value. I have Joseph Addai & Travis Henry, who both have bye-weeks on Week 6. I also have Willis McGahee and Brandon Jacobs. My league starts 2 RB per week and I'm in a Head-to-Head league. I'd would like to know...Who will be the best RB to trade for Reggie Wayne? Thanks in advance!
The Jungle Those are 4 quality fantasy backs, and while I think it’s important to have depth at running back, I agree that you’d probably be best of trading one for a receiver. Since you specifically want Reggie Wayne, I’d look to move either McGahee or Jacobs (Henry and Addai have significantly higher fantasy value than Wayne, in most people’s opinion). Ideally you could trade Jacobs for him, but I’d be willing to give up McGahee.
