MattFancy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Really tough choice. I have Garcon as well and am 50/50. I think the team will go to shorter routes/throws and more running. On the other hand, Garcon may just be his security blanket and catch 10 balls (last season vs Cle, he was targeted 12 times - top on team, and had 6 catches/65 yards - tops on team). I'm trying to decide between Garcon, White, or Woodhead at flex. Garcon has been really quiet lately, but Atlanta has a bad secondary. White has a nice matchup against our terrible secondary, and Woodhead averages 6 catches/game on the road and figure to be in a shootout. Decisions, decisions...

CrypticVillain Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I am really having a tough time between Big Ben and McCown. Last week it was a no brainer to me to go with Luke, but he is playing at Cleveland this week. I think Big Ben will be good, but he is playing the Bengals and he rarely does anything good against them. I don't know which way to lean...

Old Bay Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 RBs: Alfred Morris, Ryan Matthews, Zac Stacey WR: Victor Cruz, Harry Douglas, Julian Edelman, Keenan Allen I've got 4 positions open. I can start up to 2 RBs and up to 3 WRs. What do you guys think?Right now I've got Morris, Matthews, Cruz and Edelman. Cruz has been completely disappointing so I'm thinking about replacing him with Allen. Hmm, I think I've just answered my own question by thinking 'aloud'. I am really having a tough time between Big Ben and McCown. Last week it was a no brainer to me to go with Luke, but he is playing at Cleveland this week. I think Big Ben will be good, but he is playing the Bengals and he rarely does anything good against them. I don't know which way to lean... McCown may not even start. If he does then I'd go with him over Big Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 My opinion, I think Decker is the guy that I'd leave out. San Diego is going to have to throw the ball a lot and I think Keenan Allen will benefit from that. Good point. Keep in mind my TE is Antonio Gates. Not sure if that changes it, but then I'd be relying on two SD targets in "catchup" v. 2 Denver targets in the scoring team haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 About to roll into championship week 1 with this lineup: QB- Romo sits to pee vs GB RB- Stacy vs NO RB- Vereen vs Miami WR- Josh ****ing Gordon vs Chi WR- Garcon vs Atl TE- Julius Thomas vs SD Flex- Roddy White vs Wash D/ST- Bills vs Jags K- Haushka vs NYG Bench: Spiller vs Jags, Tate vs Indy, Andre Brown vs Sea, Kendall Wright vs Ari, Joique Bell vs Bal, Charles Clay vs NE, Kirk Cousins vs Atl Everyone agree with my starters? 0.5 PPR. Also, worth noting is that out of all of those, Spiller and Garcon are my only two draft picks remaining on my team. I am naming my team next year Waiver Wire. 45 acquisitions on the year.

Looks pretty good to me. Here's what I think is my best lineup going into this week's semi-finals matchup: QB - Rivers RB - Charles RB - Vereen WR - Dez WR - Allen TE- Cameron Flex - White (still trying to decide) K - Gostkowski DEF - Titans Bench: Rodgers, Gore, Woodhead, Hunter, KDavis, Garcon, LGreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 White vs Garcon vs Woodhead is tough for me. Think I would first cross Woodhead off the list, both the other guys have too much upside this week but both are risky. Gotta go big or go home though. White- if you look at his production the last two week you are saying "MUST START" vs the Redskins. Been 4 weeks since he's gotten in the endzone and you know he's due. Potential 100+ yard, multiple TD game here. But maybe the last two weeks were fluky and he gets shut out? DHall has played great against bigger WRs this year. Garcon- underperforming as the Redskins offense stalls. But wildcard: Cousins starting, think the gameplan will revolve around quick passes, mainly his way. I see him breaking 100 yards on 8 or more catches this week. Maybe a TD thrown in there. Downside is huge though. What if the offense comes out flat and more out of rhythm with Cousins? Impossible to predict. I'm glad I don't have to pick. Rolling with both of them and hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally though, I think I'd still run with Allen. I've definitely been wrong before though so..... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're good to go. Spiller vs. White might have had me second guessing myself. I know Spiller has had a down year but the ability is still there and he is playing the Jags. I'd probably end up going with Roddy against us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybrant Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 yeah man, you know how it goes. whoever you end up benching will beast out LOL It definitely seems that way. I learned the hard way not to bench Josh Gordon, no matter what his matchup is. I benched him against Cincy and I lost my game because of it. Had I won that game I would have been 2nd place and had a bye. BUT I learned a valuable lesson and cruised through the first week of the playoffs so I can't complain too much lol.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thursday Night Football will be critical in this round of the playoffs. Two big QBs, some great pass-catchers, and a couple good RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guy that I have to worry about in tonight's game is..... Prater. My opponent is starting him so I'm hoping for a bunch of Denver TD's (I know they're going to move the ball) and a bunch of 1 pt attempts from him.

The projections have us dead even, but I believe my good friend GHH's fantasy squad is going to take a big steaming dump on me this weekend LOL. Oh well, I'll still take 3rd or 4th place, especially after yahoo gave my draft a grade of "D" and projected me to finish dead last in the league. I'll also pat myself on the back for picking up Alshon Jeffery. I didn't think he was going to beast out, I KNEW he would. The rest of you fantasy peasants only picked him up in your leagues after a few weeks of solid production. I kid, I kid. Took him in the 12th round and he's 4th in the NFL in receiving yards and 6th in receptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I claim the same in drafting both Gordon and Blackmon, who was in absolute beast mode for the few weeks he managed to keep his dumb ass sober. After losing him, Jones and Wayne, Gordon has been a Godsend along with Megatron. Oh how they mocked when I stocked up on receivers back on draft day. They 'aint laughing no more. *Evil laugh. Hail.

People told me I was silly for not going RB/WR first. I finished the season in 1st place. Ah hum. I took Megatron in the first. 4th or 5th pick overall. I forget. In fact three of my first 4 picks where wideouts (Megatron/ Julio/ Welker; with the other being Sproles who for once has been a MAJOR PPR let down.). And yeah, Brees REALLY worries me in our match-up. Hopefully my inspired pickup of Foles will off-set that. Foles starting over Stafford in a semi. Who'd of thought that back on draft day? Hail.
