Washington is available in most. I'm not adding them in the league where I have San Diego. I don't think the Jets will be as generous this week, but all it takes a pick-six or fumble return.

Made the finals even though my 3 starting WRs put up a combined 7 receptions for 53 yards in the semis...anyway...

Pick 3 (.5 ppr)

Danario Alexander
Larry Fitz
James Jones
Hakeem Nicks
Dem Thomas

I had a similar output w/Thomas and Wayne. Thank the lawdy for the Sanchize!

Thomas / Nicks / Jones

At least that way your not playing guys that have nothing to play for. I still am not sure what to expect when the Chargers and Jets take the field. Two teams that could very well see their entire organiztion blown up in two weeks.

FlyingElvis · 12-19-2012, 09:17 AM

I'm already torturing myself with a start for the Championship game. I currently have Leshoure and Ballard in (RB / FL) but that leaves Amendola on my bench against the worst pass defense in the league.

It is 0.5ppr and Ballard's matchup is too good (as is his production over the last few weeks) but Leshoure is a TD machine. Do I sit Leshoure and move Ballard to the RB spot w/Amendola in the flex?

Thoughts?

Really they all sound like solid options. I think you are right though, you have to keep Ballard in. In a PPR I would go with Amendola. That is just my opinion.

16 team playoff league fun!

- ppr, bonuses for long tds, bonuses for high yardarge totals
-- qb 40 yard td's = 2, 50 yard td's = 3 / rb+wr 40 yard td = 1, 50 yard td = 2
-- 300 yards passing = 3, 400 yards = 5 / 200 yards rushing or receiving = 3

all of that in mind, knowing that none of the bonuses will likely be relevant, pick one

Rod Streater vs CAR
Greg McElroy vs SD

It has to be tough to bench a QB for a WR, but the Jets are a terrible team offensively. Sanchez sucks, but it's not like he had any help and he was the sole reason their offense is weak. The Chargers DST has done decent against better competition recently, too. I'd play Streater.

how is it your league awards bonus for 300 yards passing equivalent to 200 yards rushing/receiving??? bit lopsided. anyway id go streater too.

Personally I'm not a fan of WR in the flex.

SuperMcGee · 12-19-2012, 12:23 PM

I have tough decisions again, but for slightly better reasons! I feel like 3 RB could be the way to go, but would have to choose between Graham and Witten against each other. 0.5 ppr.

And please don't just put names, if you do take the time to reply. I have my own ideas, just looking for some discussion.

Starting Romo.

2 RB

D. Martin vs. STL
M. Forte @ ARZ
D. McFadden @ CAR
D. Murray vs. NO

2 WR

Welker @ JAX
Blackmon vs. NE
Amendola vs. TB

TE

Witten vs. NO
Graham @ DAL

W/R/T

One of the above.

These would be my picks and enjoy the victory.

It's so hard to bench Kaepernick coming off a 4TD performance for Flacco.

He's going against a top 5 defense. A rookie QB AT Seattle? Nah. And flacco is always at worst decent at home and he can be great. If flacco was on the road if say roll with Kap.

Me either, but the Lions have the look of a team that's thrown in the towel and the Falcons are one win away from the top seed. The drubbing by Carolina and the subsequent talk about them not being as good as people thought seem to have them ready to squash the Lions and Bucs.

One of the above.

Forte is a must start with no Bush and a great matchup. Martin is too good to sit despite a down week. Murray has been solid since his return and gets fed. I still have McFadden on my bench (behind Forte and Spiller) and see no real reason to trust him.

No idea what's going on with Welker. I'd bench him (reluctantly) for Blackmon. Amendola is facing a terrible pass D and is the best option of the 3.

Graham certainly appears to be a bench choice lately. I'm even considering playing Pitta over him this week.

Benching Welker and Graham would, of course, cause serious heartburn from today right through Sunday.

HELP ME CHOOSE!

RB is the real headache. All 4 of those guys are great options. Rice doesn't get used right so I would never argue with someone that wanted to bench him. He does, however, have the best matchup. I could see Gore in his place, or even Stafford if you're feeling saucy. I know the QB is the smarter play but it's very tough to trust the Lions at this point.

I'd play the matchup with that group, which is clearly in Gibson's favor.

i was wrong, 200 rushing/receiving is 5 points. streeter it is, though

Malaka · 12-19-2012, 07:06 PM

NFLDC! You have have been an invaluable asset to me on my quest for the championship. We have made it! Please help me win it.

RBs and Flex are my main concern.

-Jamaal Charles scares me... Crennell is moronic and gives guy no carries and very little usage in the pass game. However, Charles can break a big run and boom I cry that he's on my bench.

-Colston has not been that great the last few weeks. Do I insist on starting him against a solid Dallas defense? Or should I start Lloyd over him and play Charles at flex.

-Not shown in the picture is Michael Turner vs. DET. I just saw him on the waiver wire, someone must have been frustrated with their loss haha. Anyway that seems like a solid start as well.
