Money league. I'm 7-2 playing the only 8-1 team this week.
I can start 2 RBs/3 WRs or 3 RBs/2 WRs.
(1) Do I go with Buck, Stephen Davis and Jamal Lewis AND Chad Johnson, David Boston; OR do I go Davis/Lewis AND Johnson, Boston, Calico?
(2) McNabb or Kitna? This one is bothering me. If I played McNabb last week, I'd also be 8-1 not 7-2. Kitna laid an egg at ARZ.
Will McNabb continue his improved play? Is his back going to prevent him from running?
Kitna will presumably light up Houston in CIN. Plus I'd have the Kitna to Johnson connnection working for me.
The QB question is bothering me.

Usually, I figure like this. If you are really undecided, go with the more talented of the two. I'm not saying it's a sure winning philsophy, but it's easier to rest with the decision.
Regarding the WR/RB. RBs run and catch. WRs only catch. If you get yardage, RBs will typically get you a safe 100 yards. WRs aren't always safe bets for 100 yards.
My two cents.

AE - but who is more talented - Kitna or McNabb?
The green in me is leaning towards McNabb.
But the wallet is telling me Kitna.
I always like having MNF guys also - it still gives you hope if you are losing after Sunday's games.

Who is more talented?
Are you serious?
I realize McNabb gives no FFL owner warm fuzzies. I have him on two teams. He's still an undeniable talent (in a slump, though we're not sure it's over). I think Kitna is safe points. I think McNabb can be a gamebreaker (FFL-wise), when he's on.
I don't want to steer you, because it ain't my money. Kitna is surprisingly good this year (again, FFL-wise, though he's actually shown to be a decent QB on the field for a couple years).

my two cents go with option 1 3 RB's and two WR's the QB is even scarier when you think about the fact that Cincy was starting to come together and then lost to the other hapless team Cards. If you go by stats McNabb should do well passing against the Packs DB's. But like you I feel the green in me and I think I'd stay away from McNabb.

Another thing to consider is that Houston is near the bottom of the league in pass defense and they are dead last in giving up receiving TDs (15)
Usually I hesitate to put all my eggs in one basket (in your case J. Kitna and C. Johnson) - but the match-up seems to be in your favor.

Kitna has gone nuts his last two home games against Seattle and Baltimore - very good defenses.
He has 5 or 6 TDs and 0 INTs in those two games.
Houston has never scored more than 20 points in any road game.
I'm leaning towards Kitna, but the green in me wants to play McNabb. He had a big game last week, can he do it again?
When it comes to cowbell - I have faith.
When it comes to my wallet and this league - I have little faith at this point. Last year - it'd be a no brainer. This year is a bit different.

I'm still trying to figure out the QB situation.
Kitna or McNabb.
And I hear Stephen Davis is not starting tomorrow. Anyone else hear this? Foster gets the call, which I have on my bench.
I guess I'll start Buck, Foster and Lewis. Play 2 WRs. But which damn QB? If McNabb could only have another game like last week ...
