Who’s your starters, Doc? Start 3: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Ray Rice or LenDale White.

— Jake

Well, Jake, I think you have to start Turner, who will be the bell cow for the Falcons against the Lions, and McFadden, who should get plenty of touches vs. the Broncos, for sure. The dilemma is who to play between the other two. This is one that I think you'll need to wait until Sunday morning to decide. Although he was listed as probable on Friday, Willis McGahee remains a less-than-certain starter for the Ravens, and if he's declared inactive early Sunday, I think Rice is the one to start. If McGahee plays against the Bengals, Rice might not see a lot of action, so White would be the smarter pick then. To find out McGahee's status, be sure to check out ProFootballWeekly.com before the games begin Sunday for all the latest updates on the inactives as we get them.

A guy in my league really wants Marques Colston to pair up with Drew Brees. My receivers are Colston, Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, Nate Burleson, Josh Morgan, Jerry Porter and Reggie Brown. We have a flex spot where we can start a QB, RB, WR or TE in a league where all TDs are six points apiece. Would you trade Kurt Warner and Colston for Ben Roethlisberger and Roy Williams? My other QB is Derek Anderson. Thanks for your insight.

— Kyle, Milwaukee

I'm not sure if you offered him this trade, Kyle, or if he offered it to you, but my answer is the same: Don't do it. If you're going to give up a top-notch WR in Colston, you'd better be getting equal value in return, and in this case, you're simply not. Colston is a fair amount better than Roy Williams, who is overrated for fantasy purposes, and while Big Ben may be a solid QB, you already have two good ones in Anderson and Warner. If this other guy wants Colston badly enough, make him give up a top-flight No. 1 WR or QB in return. Otherwise, stay put with the team you have, which looks pretty good at the positions in question.
