Week 2: Selection Headache!!! Which RB/WR to start?
My biggest headache is that I took a risk with Bell and Hightower last week, and both racked me some excellent excellent points! Who do I start this week, keeping in mind how well these two performed?It seems like a given that I should start Bernard Berrian against Detroit, but do I play Vincent Jackson in the flex spot? Is it risky to have 3 WRs instead of putting a RB in my flex?
I have been leaning on using Jackson as my WR2, Berrian as my flex and Hightower or Bush as my RB2. I feel like I should wait another week to see how the NO running game plays out.

1. Bush (best RB match up), Jackson (oakland believe it or not has one of the best passing Defenses in the league (top ten) and Jackson did well against them). If you still have hightower I would play him, and if not I would play Berrian since any starter against Detroit is a good play. The reason I would not pick White is because White is a tough play since he splits carries and the Houston played well against the Jets running game except for allowing a few big plays which were against RB's similar to Chris Johnson's style, but for the most part shut down the running attack.
