    What’re the odds my 2 QBs this year were Watson and Wentz smh. Now going into the playoffs against Big Ben who’s on fire with Keenum vs. CIN and Flacco vs. CLE, any suggestions???

    I haven’t sat cook all year but strongly considering it with his play the last 2 weeks, also along with Gronk and Hogan being back

    OK peoples... Please help me pick a lineup. Because I am downright torn. I have lost Wentz also. These are my options.

    QB:

    Cousins
    Matt Ryan (against the Bucs that give up the most passing yards in the league.
    Blake Bortles
    Flacco

    RB:

    Melvin Gordon***
    Jonathan Stewart
    Jaamal Williams
    Jay Ajayi

    WR:

    Adam Thielen***
    Crabtree
    DeDe Westbrook
    Chris Hogan

    TE:

    Zach Ertz
    Delanie Walker

    D Telvin Smith Jax***
    DEF Jax***
    K Greg Zuerlein***

    *** = obvious must starts

    I'm torn and don't know who the hell to play.

    It looks like the person I am playing against will be using Keenum this week. He dropped Matt Ryan (who I picked up) to get Foles. But if I were to start Flacco it would be next week against the Colts, probably not this week though.

    QB: Cousins slightly over Bortles. But check WAS OL injuries... may be tempted to go Bortles (btw, I have same decision)
    RB: Gordon, WIlliams
    WR: Theilen, Westbrook
    TE: Ertz

    I've landed in a Losers, er, Consolation bracket.

    QB: Cousins vs ARI or Bortles vs HOU?
    Flex: Mike Davis vs LAR, Westbrook vs HOU, Jordy vs CAR?
    TE: Clay vs MIA, Watson vs CLE, or Lewis vs HOU?

    Picked up Aaron Rodgers more as a defensive move against the guy remaining in the playoffs who just lost Wentz. Now I have Brees and Rodgers and am not sure who to start. Of course Rodgers is better, but I'm leaning Brees due to easier match up and I'm scared of the Rodgers 1st quarter re-injury risk. What do you think?

    i'd start Brees at home against a decent Jets defense versus a healthy Rodgers at CAR... so I'd certainly start Brees over a just back from months off Rodgers. While Brees isn't passing as much with Ingram and Kamara... I also suspect GB will try to run the ball a lot with Rodgers first game back.

    Hate Thursday nights, but Doyle versus DEN which is a usually a good defense to go against with TEs.

    I have Brandin cooks, Jarvis Landry, Golden Tate, and Demaryus Thomas. I can only start 3, who should I leave out?

    i'll try again, but focus on just the Flex position:

    Standard flex, start Jordy Nelson vs CAR, Mike Davis vs LAR, or Dede Westbrook vs HOU? All three have positives (Rodgers return, lots of carries vs a defense that gives up rushing yardage, and lots of targets against a defense and CB that gives up long receptions). help me decide which one?

    I'd go Jordy. Looks like Aaron Rodgers is going to try to make it a point to throw it to him from some of the comments he's been making.

    I get a text from my buddy that I thought I beat last weekend by 0.8 and realized ESPN corrected Rudolphs total and I lost by 0.2

    The change was made on Thursday. Ugh

    Rudolph made a tackle after an interception.

    I would go with Nelson, Rodgers is huge upside, and I dont trust much seahawks RBs.
