So, I have no other defenses to go with this week and I'm doing a roster makeover...

I have Bradshaw and Nicks and Eagles defense...Eagles defense is great against the pass, and below average against the run. I am thinking of benching Nicks, and starting bradshaw and eagles defense. In place of Nicks, I'm putting Malcom Floyd. Am I a moron?

Who are your other WRs? And sorry I wouldn't bench Nicks he will be good for at least 80 yards and 1 TD. But I also think Floyd should have a good game as well so it wouldn't make you a moron I just hate the idea of benching an offensive player because you have the opposing team as your defense. Even tho the Eagles pass defense is great I just don't see them stopping Nicks.

That's a nice core of WRs pretty much any of them could have a big day but after thinking about it I'd probably go with Johnson, Colston, and Floyd as well. I just think Nicks and Manningham will have good days and I think the Giants will bounce back and beat the Eagles this week.

If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.

How can you not start Nicks? If would be like benching CJ2500 because they are playing a good run defense. Maybe not that extent, but Nicks is a must start and if he has a bad game you live with the consequences.

Ask yourself this..would you be more upset if you started Nicks and he has 4 catches for 50 yards, still not knowing what your other receivers will do..or if you don't start Nicks and he goes for 130 and 2 TDs? Nicks has been so good all season, IMO you just plug him in out there every week.

I never said to not start colston... I just said I didn't agree with you not starting Nicks because you have the Eagles D as well. I actually said to start Colston :).
