Who to Start Week 1?

Figured I would come to the Huddle fantasy gurus with this predicament:

In one yahoo league we start 2 RBs, 1TE, and 1 W/RB/TE and I would like your opinions on who I should start week one of the players below at those 4 spots:

DeMarco Murray @NYG

David Wilson DAL

Jermaine Gresham @BAL

Titus Young STL

Trent Richardson PHI

Greg Olsen @TB

DeAngelo WIlliams @TB

Santonio Holmes BUF

Mark Ingram WAS

Personally, I think Gresham and Richardson will struggle against those defenses come week 1 and both are nursing injuries and may be eased into the mix so Olsen may be a better option than Gresham.

Titus Young intriques me at the W/RB/TE spot and he should be able to create space against a St. Louis secondary that has to deal with Megatron, as does DeAngelo and Holmes. I'm thinking Holmes being out for a little while and having to catch balls from Sanchez/The Golden Calf of Bristol may hurt him.

The Saints** just have so many backs and I doubt Ingram gets a big workload but he has goal line scoring ability.

David Wilson I think is going to produce this season as he is thus far in pre-season.

What do you all think?

Any other opinions on this matter out there? Right now I'm starting Murray, Richardson, Olsen (should have a big game against TB), and Titus Young.

I would go with that except for I would play Holmes over Young. Jets have no real receiver other than him, and a rookie. I wouldn't expect much goal line work but he should get plenty targets one would assume especially if Keller is out. Richardson IF healthy should be somewhere Stevan Jackson of the Rams level. Lowish ceiling, but high floor because he is really the only good skill player on offense that they have.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
