Bench:

I'm worried about week one and whether to sit Beanie Wells or Shonne Green. Green is going against Baltimore plus LT has been looking good in preseason. Wells is against the Rams... so I'm thinking Green should sit in favor of Bradshaw, but I'm not sure how the whole Bradshaw/Jacobs split is going to look. I probably need to trade for a better #1 RB.

If I had your team, I'd bench Wells and start Bradshaw for week #1. I really do not trust Beanie Wells or think he'll hold up. Tim Hightower will be a TD vulture there too, he seems more talented than Wells and they can't keep him on the bench too much.

You could also move CP from flex to RB and put Braylon Edwards at flex. Without Holmes active for a month into the season, he should get more looks earlier in the season.

I'm leery on Bradshaw until I see what the split is going to look like w/ Jacobs, especially considering the Cardinals will be playing the Rams week 1 and should be ahead early, pounding it to kill clock. I don't trust Beanie either though. Thought about that with Braylon... all in all, good suggestions. Definitely thinking about all of them. Hated going so heavy on the Jets seeing as how I think they're way overrated, but with both Holmes and Edwards in a contract year, one of them should emerge as a decent performer.
