I have been thinking about who I should statrt at QB in my CBSsportsline league.I have Ben Roethlisberger and J.T. O'sullivan.Ben has a bad shoulder but still can put up nice numbers,J.T. had a big game last week and is playing against a horrible Lions defense.I would hate to put Ben on the bench,but am leaning towards J.T. because of the team he is facing.

Who do you guys think I should start?

I would start J.T. Philly will harass Ben and target that shoulder. Detroit is horrible.

For this week most definitely JT, as you stated the lack of defense in Detroit, home field, and I'm hoping that Issac Bruce has he first notable game. Also Gore is expected to be a beast. In our league I have no choice but to play Big Ben. Good luck.

Normally, I'd tell you not to go with a rookie QB on a shaky team (O'Sullivan and the 49ers) but since Ben is hurt and playing a tough Eagles team on the road, you might not get much from him this week. Give JT a shot.

I'd go with Big Ben. You can't trust O'Sullivan yet. The Cowboys proved the Eagles D isn't that great, plus they're aggresive and can give up the big play (Santonio Holmes, anyone?).

Im glad I decided to go with J.T. O'Sullivan instead of Big Ben in my cbs sportsline league.JT got me 22 pts while Big Ben had -1.

good call!

[Kelli013]

That was the worst game I've ever watched. If thats any indication of the rest of my season with Big Ben I'm toast. He probably can't even move after being pounded into the ground a hundred times, and there his hand to add insult to injury and his hip, what a disappointment. Any word on Westbrook or McNabb? Then you see Griese with over 400 yds. And then there's TO - 2 rec for the night. Wish I could write what I'm really thinking. Only thing good for me yesterday was Housh... its about time.

the o-line is sucking, ben will have a 10 year career at this rate

Yeah, I know Philly usually has a very good pass rush, but that was ridiculous. Even when he wasn't sacked, he was still under tremendous pressure.

-1? Good Lord. That'll kill your team.

Looks like a winner to me, I agree to trade Rice if possible. There's a lot of 3rd string rb's in 10 to 12 team leagues that are better!

I would look for in improvement over Roddy White. I don't trust the Falcons to score much and pass well with a rookie QB
