    Greenbay or Denver...two highest defensive explosive play potentials, and they're both still fighting for positioning. An argument can be made for the Jets, but their offense always puts them in bad field position, and they've in evaluation mode. I too have to choose amongst them (though I think someone has Denver locked up), so I'm open to changing my mind if there's a good argument out there.

    I would play DEN.

    The opponents are all a wash, DEN is the best defense of this foursome.

    And Von will be going after sack record, Peyton controls the clock, Weeden will have to throw to keep up and turn the ball over.

    Looking at purely as playing against inept offenses, Indy and SD look like good plays, but Any Given Sunday rules come into effect, so I too am leaning toward sticking with Green Bay, as I have done all year, or Denver which I think has the best chance to rack up sacks and turnovers and perhaps a score or return TD. Cleveland however has the best offense out of the bunch and Richardson gets a lot of tough yards and Weeden can throw.

    Haha, I did the same thing. Although I'm only playing for a consolation prize. :(

    I liked your chances until I saw Peterson. Look at it this way, if you lose, theres a chance you'll have sex again in the near future.

    I'm facing my wife in the title game. 8 team family league.

    Me: Rodgers/AJ/Julio/Cobb/Murray/DeAngelo/Gronk
    Her: Brees/Roddy/Welker/Colston/Martin/BJGE/J Graham

    I want to win. Grrrrr.

    Is Gronk gonna play this week? I wasn't sure.

    As for your matchup, it'll be close but she has you beat at running back

    Go with Denver, go with the best defense instead of the best matchup.

    Last week I started Detroit D (against Arizona) instead of Texans D, because I thought that nothing could go wrong going against Arizona, and that Luck would throw a lot.
    And I lost my matchup. :(

    For the championship, Peyton or Cam? All the experts say Cam, but Peyton is so consistent, for he only sucks fantasy-wise when the defensive and special teams is scoring.

    I go Cam.

    I started 3-7 in one league, and then won 6 straight to finish barely out of the playoffs.

    Thanks Cam.

    Matthew Stafford vs. Falcons
    Russell Wilson vs. 49ers
    Sam Bradford vs. Bucs

    -Pick one. I got to the championship game riding Stafford all year, but his performance last week has me worried.

    Cecil Shorts vs. Pats
    Brandon Lloyd @ Jags
    Hakeem Nicks @ Ravens
    Lance Moore @ Cowboys

    -Pick two. I've been shuffling Shorts, Moore, and Nicks the past couple of weeks. Iffy on Lloyd but he's had two monster back-to-back weeks so I have to consider.

    Remaining lineup:
    Arian Foster/Alfred Morris/Dennis Pitta/DeMarco Murray/Gostkowski/Texans D

    This was one of the more widespread fantasy weeks of BEASTS and BOMBS that I can remember, but more the bombs. So many "2's" and "20's" sprinkled in lineups.

    So many players laid incredibly bad duds. (D Alexander SHUT OUT? Freeman and Bucs getting SHUT OUT? Figured Eli was due, but still)

    I was gonna give advice to other posts, and I'da been BIG time wrong. (I said Spiller would have a bigger day than Morris, both did good, but still wrong). Kaepernick was one of the few I got right this week. Just hard to prevent and predict.

    Same browser crash (really outdated low RAM pc), kept me from yanking Freeman out and putting in Aaron Rogers when I saw the Packs-Bears game was gonna be in the mid 40s no snow. That stuff matters. I started Freeman in my SUCK TEAM league though just to mix things up, so it was consolation bracket anyway.
