Which WRs to start??
Which two WRs do I start Sun?
Chad Ochocinco vs Ravens
Miles Austin vs Philly
Vincent Jackson vs G-men
Hines Ward vs Denver (I'll probably be sitting him for sure)

Christ. Close your eyes and pick 2. It'll be OK, I promise.
I figure any of the 4 will be OK; Ochocinco seems to have his mojo (and his QB) back, and will be motivated to go up against the Ravens (I have him, and am starting him with no worries); Austin is just the hottest WR in the league, only concern being that Romo may be trying to pacify Roy by throwing to him more, and Philly sucks against the TE, so Witten may get some more targets; VJ is an every-week starter in my book, and the Giants' secondary is suspect; and Yahoo! predicts Hines will pick up something like his 7/78 line against Denver from the last set-to.
Biggest worry is probably Hines, as you indicate, given the possibility that Santonio Holmes will sit/rotate in and out (due to sickle cell trait), meaning Bailey will be covering Ward.
You call this a problem?

Actually, I consider it the opposite of a "problem"! Just wondering what people think my two best options would be?
I think I'm probably gonna start 85 and VJ.

Ya, Ocho and VJ are good bets, put the top 3 names in a hat, draw 2 and start them, all solid plays this week.

Ward: 7 catches for 44 yards and 2 TDs - that's 16 points in my league.

Yep, didn't work out too good for me.  Austin or Ward would have gotten me the win if I benched Ochocinco. I lost by 7 pts to a guy who was in last place, even though I would have beaten everyone else in the league this week. 
Dude had Kurt Warner and DeAngelo Williams.

Um, as a Warner and DWill owner, I'm really, really sorry.

That's funny, I'm in 2nd in a league, lost to a guy who is 2nd to last with both Warner and D Will, Lost by 8 pts, Calvin Johnson 2 for 27 and Desean Jackson 2 for 29 killed me.

Well, here we go again. Who to start in week 10?
Chad Ochocinco vs Steelers
Miles Austin vs Green Bay
Vincent Jackson vs Philly
Hines Ward vs Bengals
I'm thinking I should start VJ and Ochocinco. I would like to start Miles Austin vs Green Bay, but only one catch last week has me worried. VJ is pretty hot right now, so I think I'm gonna start him for sure. I kind of want to bench Ochocinco for Austin....but I have a feeling the PIT vs. CIN game is going to be a shootout with the way both teams can move the ball. With that logic though, I could even start Hines Ward.

That's my gut call - no argument.

Never bench VJ. Hell, if you're gonna bench him, trade him to me, and let me start him.
So VJ and whoever else -- I think either Ochocinco-$20K or Ward will do you fine. I agree that Austin is too up and down, although I like that matchup for him.

Well, I started VJ and Austin.....and both are scoreless at the half.
But, on the bright side, it's not much worse than 85 and Ward who ended up with only 2 points each.

It didn't matter one bit:
Ochocinco = 2 pts
Hines Ward = 2 pts
Vincent Jackson = 1 pt
Miles Austin = 2 pts
But, thanks to Tom Brady, I can still beat my opponent if Ray Rice can get me 24 pts against the lowly Browns tomorrow.
