Arizona just gave up 58, I'd rule them out. I'd go with the Rams.

Points given up don't matter. We get defensive points for sacks, INTs, Fum rec., safeties and shutouts. Whatever my defense earns, I get to take it off his offense. But yeah, I'm thinking the Cardinals would be my last option this week. Basically it's between the Rams and Redskins. I'm leaning towards the Redskins only because the weather might be bad.

Robert is working on becoming a better fantasy player but I don't think he is taking well to his new coach.

Well, my one team failed to reach .500 and finished 6-8 worth a 3rd place finish in the division. My other team won the division at 8-5-1 despite losing this week in the season finale. But for winning the division, I get a +3 (equivalent to a TD pass in our scoring) to go towards my score. We typically have final scores like the NFL 31-28, so the 3 points is huge.

I'm starting in our playoff:

Peyton Manning (Griffin is my backup and only started him once this year. Peyton vaulted me from 7 out of 10 to 1st in QB points this year).

Your front line is Peyton/Foster/Rice/Calvin/AJ Green? Did anyone else attend the draft? I would've said that leaving RG3 to rot on your bench was a huge mistake, and you should've traded him instead for an elite player, but there's not much room for improvement there.

IMO you don't bench Rice. Pats D has been playing well, and he's one of the best players in FF.

Kicker, who knows? Always a crapshoot.

None of those defenses are great. I guess I'd pick Wash, but I wouldn't feel good about it.

b. myers vs KC
t. gonzales vs giants

the giants have only given up 1 double digit score and it was to jason witten in week 8, 9th least overall i think. t gonzales is basically good for a great game every 3 or 4, but he averages like 4 pts a game.
KC has given up 3 double digit scores to TEs in the last 6 games, 15th most overall. but B. Myers blew it up with a .7 pt game last week!

i'm leaning away from myers to gonzo, but atl needs to win this week IMO. so not really sure who to go to...btw this is week 1 of my playoffs, i got the #3 seed going up against #2...i'm a 20 point dog

also i'm picking up the bengals defense, who plays philly. i have pittsburghs defense but i looked at the bengals d and they seem like a better option, especially with the matchup. i also have the option to pick up houston d vs indy, minnesota d vs STL, miami d vs jags, and tennessee d vs jets, detroit d vs arizona, which look like the best options out of those available. lot of choices, and defense is really the only position that has anyone available to pick up for an upgrade.

Might want to check that. He missed 3 games the previous 3 seasons. Wouldn't really say he's always hurt.

I was including his bouts with migraines. I think it was last year where he was a game time decision several times because of them. He's nothing but a tease.

Bears D (Plays GB) has carried me all season. I have started them every week and they have carried me to a 10-3 record. Now I'm starting Cincinnati (Plays PHI). I hate picking a random team based on their opponent. It never works out for me.

I wouldn't sweat it. Foles has been pretty good so far, but he's due for a stinker. And remember, the Bengals made Eli look pretty foolish this year.

We're a keeper league. So I had some of those guys on my roster already. I always suggest trades, but alot of guys in my league are afraid to trade for some reason. Maybe because I've burned them before. I kept Griffin because I wasn't sure Peyton would be at full strength. Our league emphasizes TD Passes and Passing Yardage, so Peyton has been killing Griffin all year (30-18) and (3800-2600). RG3 has been my safety net.

That was Rice first 100 yard game in a while, but like you said, I'm leaning towards Rice and Foster in my backfield.

Mason Crosby has been such a disappointment in the kicking department this year and my defenses have been garbage all year. I think "I" was missing during the part of the draft when defenses were going. I wanted Houston or Denver, but just before my picks, someone plucked both. I had Pittsburgh, but dropped them because they weren't getting turnovers or sacks. The team is stacked and I can put up points, but if the opposing defense is better than mine, I lose.

Which defense should I start between Patriots vs. San Fran or Rams vs. Minnesota?

[MattFancy]

Big Ben or Luck this week?

I'm leaning Ben. Steelers are facing a must win and he looked good last week. Plus Luck isn't so good on the road or against the AFC South and I feel like the Texans are going to look to make a statement after their debacle against NE.

[MLSKINS]

My first question for my 2nd RB- Rice against the Broncos or Gore against the Pats? I'm thinking Rice.


2nd question? Suisham against the Pukes or Mason Crosby against the Bears? I'm leaning towards Crosby in a FG type close game.

Now, my biggest question. I have 3 defenses. St Louis against Minnesota, Arizona against Detroit or Washington against Cleveland. My defense has been the worst in the league this year.

I would start Rice. Cam got fired, and it's a shame, but I think Rice will be seeing big touches for the rest of the season. He might average over 20 touches per game from here on out.

I think either Kicker is okay. But gun to my head, I would go with Crosby. We all know Suisham likes to choke on kicks sometimes.

I would start Arizona's defense. Especially since points doesn't matter. You know Stafford likes to force things. Patrick Peterson might get a pick or two.

Cobb or the Law Firm

I would start Green-Ellis. Eagles will probably focus too much on Green and forget about Green-Ellis. Plus he has been consistent.

b. myers vs KC
t. gonzales vs giants

also i'm picking up the bengals defense, who plays philly. i have pittsburghs defense but i looked at the bengals d and they seem like a better option, especially with the matchup.

Gonzales man. I have Meyers, dude is too hit and miss. take the safe points with Tony G.

I would go with the Bengals over Pitt too. You know Romo likes to give it up, but he will light you up too.

Big Ben or Luck this week?

I'm leaning Ben. Steelers are facing a must win and he looked good last week. Plus Luck isn't so good on the road or against the AFC South and I feel like the Texans are going to look to make a statement after their debacle against NE.

Big Ben. I can tell you right now, if the Colts do beat the Texans, it will be a typical Colts game where Luck looks like some doo-doo the first three quarters and finds a way to win in the end.

Big Ben should be able to get some points on the Cowboys D. I bet Heath Miller scores 2 touchdowns this week.

[skinsfan_1215]

Jets D @ Titans or Chargers D against a red hot Cam Newton? I'm up 17 going into week 2 fwiw.

[HoggLife]

Who do I start for my flex player between David Wilson, Amendola or Cecil Short?

[skinsfan_1215]

Who do I start for my flex player between David Wilson, Amendola or Cecil Short?

Probably Short unless you have a real good feeling about Amendola. Haven't been paying that close of attention to Wilson this week. Is Bradshaw good to go this week?
