Resolved Question: Can you help me out with my fantasy football team (Need help at QB, RB, WR, DST positions)?

Here it goes. Right now, here is my set lineup for this week's matchup: QB Philip Rivers(San Diego) v Atlanta RB Warrick Dunn(Tampa Bay) v New Orleans RB Chris Johnson(Tennessee) @ Detroit - Already played, 24 points. WR Antonio Bryant(Tampa Bay) v New Orleans WR Vincent Jackson(San Diego) v Atlanta WR Greg Jennings(Green Bay) v Carolina TE Dustin Keller(NY Jets) v Denver K Rob Bironas(Tennessee) @ Detroit - Already played, 17 points. DST Dolphins @ St. Louis My reserves are: QB Drew Brees(New Orleans) @ Tampa Bay RB Tim Hightower(Arizona) @ Philadelphia - Already played, 3 points. RB Clinton Portis(Washington) v NY Giants WR Donnie Avery(St. Louis) v Miami DST Panthers @ Green Bay This is my reasoning. I'm starting Philip Rivers at home against a bad defense. He's projected to score 22. Drew Brees is at Tampa Bay (#1 pass defense) and projected for 21. For my 2nd RB spot, I am starting Warrick Dunn(NFL.com START OF THE WEEK) against the Saints who have a below-average D, OVER Clinton Portis at home against the Giants' great defense, though I have no clue if he will have a big game. The "experts" say he's a must-start however. My three wide receivers are all above-average guys who are 7-12 points every week. I don't know if I should stick with Antonio Bryant over Donnie Avery though. And no good free agent WRs left. I picked up the Dolphins D for this week at the Rams. The Panthers are my D pretty much every week, but I know that the Packers have been playing better and I think that would be a big risk to start them. And I know it's bad to play someone(Donnie Avery in this case) if you also have the defense that they're going against(Dolphins). Based off of all this, what should I change? Out of all these, WR is my least concern because I don't have many scenarios to look at. My equally biggest concerns are at QB and RB. I have NEVER started Philip Rivers before(and I've always owned him), but something tells me he will have a better game than Brees this week. And is Warrick Dunn safe to go with over Portis? ***NOTE: ALL PROJECTIONS ARE BY NFL.COM... Read More »
