Who to start, week 2

My biggest dilemma is Marques Colston vs. Vernon Davis at TE. They had similar stats last week; Colston plays against awful Green Bay, while Davis plays a decent Rams team. The Saints have more alternative receiving options, but also have a better QB (at least until Alex Smith performs like that for multiple weeks). Plus the 49ers might be passing a lot late in the game to catch up. Right now I have Colston penciled in but I have no idea which is better.

Also any reason to go with Mike Bell over Thomas Jones?

I would start Colston based on the matchup alone. The Rams defense stepped up, the Favres defense hasnt changed much. Both teams don't relaly have many weapons (Bryant v. Horn, maybe an edge to o-line for the Saints, better QB for the Saints), but the Saints do have the better running backs, which leads to more red zone entrances, which may lead to either the back or the TE getting the score.

Stick with Thomas Jones.

Same question different week. Colston vs. Davis. For some reason I have a hunch to go with Davis; maybe because Colston has scored twice in a row and I have bad feelings about their MNF matchup. Davis will be playing the air it out Eagles, so the Niners will have to throw too.

Also, any thoughts on a trade for my team that would bring me Rex Grossman and Cedric Benson for JP Losman and Mike Bell? My current QBs are Brunell and Losman, while my RBs are Ronnie Brown, Thomas Jones, Bell & Maurice Drew. I'd get a potential new QB starter, and while my #3 RB value would be lower, between Benson & Jones one of them is going to get numbers eventually. My biggest concern is loading up on Bears, and that Jones & Benson will split for the entire season. (BTW my league is 20 teams which is why all my players suck)

If it helps, I'm starting Kitna over Bulger in one league and Warner in another. I think he's going to explode this week finally getting a td or three.

GB or Eagles? Has Davis done much this season with Gore and Bryant lighting it up?

Has Davis done much this season with Gore and Bryant lighting it up?
He had a TD in week 1 but was shut out week 2. I started him in week 1 but had him on the bench in week 2.
