Should I go with Donovan McNabb at the Cowboys or Matt Hasselback at home against the 49ers? I luckily went with McNabb in Week 1, but a Monday night game at Dallas is intimidating. Then again, Hasselback has back issues and no one left to throw to against a weak 49ers D. Who would you start? Thanks.

Based on what I saw in Week One, Chris, I think you have to play McNabb, even though he's going against a tough Dallas defense. Playing without both of his starting WRs, McNabb dazzled last week, and I think he can have a very productive game Monday night. No, he probably won't throw for 361 yards and three TDs again, but he'll do enough to justify starting him in fantasy leagues. Hasselbeck, meanwhile, has practically no legitimate receiving options left, making it difficult to recommend using him against any opponent. Until he gets injured wideouts Deion Branch and Bobby Engram back, I'd keep Hasselbeck firmly on the bench.
Can you rank these 3 QBs for the rest of the season: David Garrard, Philip Rivers & Trent Edwards. I have Garrard but the Jags' offensive line and WRs look bad. Rivers & Edwards are available. Should I still keep Garrard or pick up one of the other 2. Thanks.

Going forward, this is the order I envision these three QBs finishing the season in terms of fantasy points: Rivers, Garrard, Edwards. I was high on Rivers going into the season, and his numbers in Week One (217 yards and three TDs) only solidify my faith in him. I think he was underrated going into fantasy drafts and that he'll have a big year with all the weapons he has in San Diego. Garrard isn't a bad option, but injuries to his receiving corps make me wary of his fantasy potential. Plus, the Jags are a run-first team that doesn't look to air it out all that much. If I were you, I'd pick up Rivers and make him my starter for the foreseeable future.
