Who should I start or sit?

Ok, I barely slipped into the playoffs in one of my league's and after a couple of hot weeks from a roster that only went 7-7 during the regular season, I'm vying for the championship this week. I'm still not sold that this is a great roster but somehow I've managed to get this far. So here are my dilemnas at each position (the league is a 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB league w/ no flex position):

QB: Tony Romo vs. Jay Cutler - On a normal week, I'd just plug Romo in and forget about it but Romo's back worries me and he's playing Baltimore. Cutler on the other hand is playing the Bills and they're 11th ranked passing defense.

RB: Frank Gore vs. Thomas Jones vs. Micheal Turner - Again this would be really easy with Jones and Turner geting the nod but Turner is facing the Vikings this week. Gore on the other hand is facing the Rams and they're 29th ranked rushing defense.

WR: Hines Ward vs. Santonio Holmes vs. Marques Colston vs. Antonio Bryant vs. Kevin Walter - Ok, Bryant and Colston are locks in the starting lineup but I'm not sure who to pick for the final spot. Holmes, Ward and Walter are all so hit or miss that I can't make up my mind on who to start.

Let me know what you think.........

Just like tests

My first answers were Cutler, Turner and Walter. What do you think?

Agree w/ faketeams

Cutler. Matchup is muchhh better.
T. Jones, you simply cannot bench him. Turner as well, can’t bench him and one link of the Williams wall is out, if that makes you feel better. Gore has been hurt and is iffy so that should also give you some consolation.
In terms of WR, Colston and Bryant for sure. I think the last spot is between H. Ward and Walter, because Holmes has been really inconsistent (so has Roethlisberger). I like Walter this week. Going against Oakland, has Schaub (who is on fire) and Asomugha is definitely going to be covering Andre Johnson, leaving Walter a bigger load of looks.

Good luck.

Sweet, I got a consensus and was pretty much what I was thinking

Thanks guys.

Also, has there been a better midseason pickup than Bryant this season? I’m sure he wasn’t drafted in any leagues but he’s been awful good for the past month or so. Is he the breakout/comeback player of the year by a mile?
