I have Eli Manning vs Seattle & Jason Campbell vs Philadelphia.

I have Maurice-Jones Drew vs Pittsburgh & Edgerrin James vs Buffalo.

Which QB and RB should I start and why???? I would like to start Campbell and James but need some input.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

personally i would start campbell despite phillys defence. Eli will be without his top receiver plaxico burress and the giants will look to pound the ball with their strong rush game.

As for your rbs i would also chose edgerin james. i dont have much explanation for this just pure gut. im not a big for mo-jo because of the split carries.

philly has really good run def their pass should be better but like renz said with plaxico out think i would start campbell also.

i like james also. think boldin is out so maybe a few more rushes?? james has a better chance of putting up bigger numbers than mjd does against the steelers

Sorry, just seeing this now.

IMO, Manning is a no-brainer this weekend. Campbell is not a top fantasy QB and facing a team that pressures the passer as good as anyone. I would expect Campbell to do next to nothing.

James and Jones-Drew is tough. I'd go James but Jones-Drew isn't a bad start with two main guys on the Steeler defensive line out including stud run-stopper Casey Hampton.

You think Manning will do well without Plaxico? I also have Toomer as my receiver too if that helps.

He'll do decent which is more than I can say for how I think Campbell will do.

Manning! He'll have Hixon, who I think will have a break out game, and Toomer. I got Hixon during draft and have just been waiting for this moment! I have Toomer as well. Manning and Hixon have a great relationship and he was the coaches fave during training camp. Did you see his preseason against Cleve? He'll be replacing Plax and look for Manning to favor him. Def Manning today.

Thank you soo much. I started Manning and James. Manning got me 25 points and James got me 17.

....Campbell only had 9 points and Drew-Jones had 17. Thanks again!
