Desean Jackson or Erick Decker
Which 3 RB Starters? Bradshaw, Mendenhall and Addai, Mcgahee, and Green Ellis 
Steelers or 49rs?

If Maclin is questionable this week, I gotta go with Jackson, even though there is a rumor circulating about Jackson not wanting to get for fear of losing out on a big contract. SF is ranked 19th (FP/PG) vs the pass, while Decker has a juicy match up against the 31st ranked Packers.
At RB I start Bradshaw @ ARI (24th), Addai @ TBB (20th) and I gotta stick with Mendy another week @ HOU (17th). (##) are vs the rush.
Since Vick has been knocked out of 2 games I would chance it and play the 49ers defense.

Agreed on all picks.  However, I think it's too early to start using FP/G.  After just 3 weeks one game can really skew results.

Agreed Cody, but I won't completely igrnore them either. This year has been whacky to start and we not seeing what we expected to see. Big named players are not playing up to their expectations, while other players who were not slated to perform as well are playing well beyond where we expected them to.

I believe Russ mentioned in the eBook that week 3 was the soonest to start using FPPG. Obviously as the season rolls on the more "accurate" (for lack of a better term) the use of FP/PG will get.

Do you consider BGE and/or McGahee over any of the other 3 RBs? How about at WR, Cody? Not calling you out, just geting your opinion...

Yeah for FP/G I can't put everything in to it just yet, but its still a decent tiebreaker when you have considered everything else.

It's a formula that gives you fantasy points per game or FP/PG. It's a better way to rank defenses when look at vs rush and vs pass numbers. If you compare the rankings on NFL.com to what Russ compute on FFS.com they will vary, sometimes greatly based on the information used to generate the figures. You can find the FPPG rankings here. If you bought the Champioship package, Russ has a portion of the book dedicated to calculating FP/PG in the eBook.

No, don't disagree, w/ the picks, that's why I said I agreed on them all. 
 
My rationale just doens't include FP/G yet.  For example I've been seeing a lot of sites pumping up Gresham this week cuz the Bills have given up so many points to TEs, when in fact they gave up a lot of points to Gronkowski(everyone has).  Outside of Gronk the Bills have given up 3 and 1.  Same idea with the Dolphins.  Looking at FP/G, the Dolphins are the best possible match up for TEs right now, but 30 of the 45 points the've given up were to Gronk.
