Speaking of Packers ...
Anyone who dropped James Jones because Greg Jennings is back in the starting lineup made a mistake. Jones managed to lead the Packers in targets against San Diego and was about six inches away from scoring a touchdown. Brett Favre's attention was nicely split between his top three options, with Jennings, Jones, and Donald Driver getting 7-to-9 targets.
With a matchup this week against the stout Minnesota rushing attack, look for the Packers to spread the Vikings out (like every other team) and throw at them. That makes Jennings and Jones reasonable WR3 plays.

Gregg,
Need your help. I'm trying to choose between Roddy White, Greg Jennings, or Dwayne Bowe as a WR4 in a PPR league. It's too close to call. Do you have a strong preference?
Thanks,
Kevin

g - Answer is no. You are basically trading Steven Jackson & his temp point producer and the flaky but still potentially potent Culpepper for Travis Henry. I say no deal especially with Henry's injury history and his lack of TD exposure. Tell him to throw out Bulger and Jones and come back with something stronger cause Jackson will be back strong by week 8.

Gregg,
Can you touch on the Chester Taylor dilemma in Minn? Chester just unexpectedly hit the wire in my league and now we hear that the Vikings want to run with him as the #1 (when he returns) because as expected Adrian has pass blocking issues.
How much should we be looking into this issue with Peterson and the seemingly lack of confidence from Brad Childress?

Gregg,
I'm torn between pizza and chinese for dinner tonight, what do u think? ASAP!
Also, my league requires me to set a lineup on Wednesday, so I can't wait for your weekly rankings. Jennings or Roddy White?
Also, can you touch on my toothpaste dilemma. Crest or Aquafresh? Thx!!

Kurt,
You'd be a fool to start either pizza or chinese against a stout delivery time. I'd go with mexican if it's still available in your league.
