    for my flex position this weekend. In this league there are no points for return yards or touchdowns. Parker Vs. Tennessee Breaston vs. SF

    I would go with Parker since he is the goal line back and Mendenhall is expected to get fewer carries this year compared to last.

    Plus Breaston is still not 100% healthy and has to battle Fitz and Boldin for catches.

    actually i traded parker and pierre thomas away for tony romo and darren sproles, which was accepted, and will go through today. i still have felix jones, jonathan stewart, and brian westbrook for running backs.

    Good move because you were not going to get much from Parker this year and maybe Breaston either. Breaston could be a flex guy in certain games this year but no more than a low 3rd WR.

    Breaston might do well...Boldin still has not practiced and probably will not start this week...so he would be the No.2 WR

    He has been practicing but limited practices. Could be a game time decision.

    I was talking season wise, however. Breston is a decent #3 WR/Flex this year. I rarely use WR in the Flex and go with a RB, mine is Hightower this week.

    my 2 leagues:

    Week 1 Starters:
    League 1. No individual kick or punt return points for yards or touchdowns, only for the defense/special teams.
    QB - Tony Romo
    RB - Felix Jones
    RB - Brian Westbrook
    WR - Andre Johnson
    WR - Lee Evans
    FLEX - Darren Sproles
    TE - Antonio Gates
    K - Jason Elam
    D - Dallas
    Bench - Mark Sanchez, Jonathan Stewart, Chicago D, Steve Breaston.

    League 2. Points for individual kick return and punt return yards, plus 10 bonus points for return yards over 125, 10 bonus points for quarterback throwing over 400, 10 bonus points for receivers and running backs going over 125 yards.

    QB - Drew Brees
    RB - Brandon Jacobs
    RB - Joe Addai
    WR - Josh Cribbs (have him in for the return yards)
    WR - Steve Breaston (return yards)
    TE - Owen Daniels
    Flex - Steve Smith (carolina)
    K - Rob Bironas
    D - Houston
    Bench - Dwayne Bowe, Marques Colston, Brandon Marshall, Larry Johnson, Darren McFadden, Mark Sanchez, Ahmad Bradshaw

    i know team 1 is where i want to be with my starters but i have too much talent on team 1. I am thinking about proposing trades for someone to get a more solid defense. What would you do on team 2? Any changes, i am thinking about putting in Colston for Breaston, because of injury and because N.O. is playing Detroit.

    Well looks like Parker would have been the right pick if you had to start one of them.

    Breaston did not play and Parker had 1 point.

    Boldin started but did nothing either.
