Fri, 6 Nov 2009 14:47:34 +0000

We've been taking a look every week at rosters facing dilemmas, and this week is no different. Struggling over which running back, quarterback, or receiver to sit or start on your team? Look no further than this column, where we pick three matchups and fight to the death until one player is the clear-cut winner for the week. Matt Schaub, QB, HOU (@IND) vs. Kurt Warner, QB, AZ (@CHI) Schaub has been on an absolute tear and there's no way you should bench him, right? Uh, not exactly.
