Sit/Start: Week One

PrintStandard scoring except for .5 PPR, .15 points per completion (for QB's), 3 bonus points for 100 yards rushing, receiving, or 250 yards passing, and 2 more bonus points for 150 yards rushing, receiving or 350 yards passing. I'm having trouble deciding on these 3 spots:
1 QB:
I've got Matt Schaub (vs. Jets) and Big Ben (vs. Titans).
I had originally thought Schaub was the easy choice but one site I read said to start Ben. Maybe I'm overrating the Titans D without Haynsworth and underrating the Jets D under Rex Ryan. Am I overthinking this?
1 RB and 1 RB/WR:
So this is two spots from this pool of players, but at least one must be a RB.
Knowshon Moreno (@ Bengals), Lendale White (@ Steelers), Leon Washington (@ Texans), Jamaal Charles (@ Ravens) Donald Driver (vs. Bears), Kevin Curtis (@ Panthers), Deion Branch (vs. Rams)
So Moreno would probably be a lock but I'm not sure how his injury will affect his playing time. Lendale White seems like he should be eliminated because of his matchup. Is Washington a better play than Moreno, or Driver as a flex? Branch is probably the worst receiver here but he also has the best matchup.
Anyone have any advice? If anyone else wants to post their sit/start questions here as well feel free, I'll try to give my advice.

me personally?
i would start matt schaub at QB. I would put leon washington at rb and donald driver in the wr/rb slot.
Mine
Or one of them. Matt Schaub v Jets or Donovan McNabb v Panthers. Leaning towards McNabb despite Schaub getting a Pace and Ellis-less Jets D at home.
I think McNabb
I don’t feel like either matchup is hugely in favor or against either QB so you should go with the better quarterback.

mcnabb is the call
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Washington should start
He was the Jets total yard leader and was offered a contract extension in the off season. Hence, Washington will be a focal point in the offense. Especially if your league counts punt return yards, put Washington in. He is money.
They don't count return yards as I wrote in the post
So you’d start him and Moreno, him and Driver, or some other combo?

PPR league right
do you get any points for rushings attempts? If not you said you get .5 for receptions and against Houston he will do some serious damage. Go with him.

Matt Shaub
Also go with Shaub he has better receiving options and NYJ DEF strength is run stopping not pass. Good Luck!

Go with Schaub at QB
the Titans had a very good pass D last year with 3 of their 4 secondary guys going to the pro bowl. I would go with Washington and Driver as your RB and flex.

Chicago was 30th in the league defending the pass last year. Look for Driver to see the endzone@home!

Chicago actually had a pretty good pass defense last year
Football Outsiders ranked them 10th in pass DVOA.

do what u want!
Im just giving my opinion you have to decxide for yurself. I wouldnt go with Lendale he wont catch a thing

that may be so...
but at .5 pts per catch, a touchdown is worth 12 receptions. I would still start Washington though, because he has a chance to do more.
Flex
Saints Rb Mike Bell vs Detroit Lions, Denver BRoncos WR Brandon Marshall vs Cincinnati Bengals or WR Eddie Royal.
PPR
Bush baby Bush!
Bush will have 10 rec against Detroit. They cant handle his speed to the outside. Bell is nothing but a 5 carry back unless you mean this week because of PT’s injury? Pay attention to that closely if u do go with Bell. Bush plays his best in the beginning of the season when he is healthy.
