weekly who to start thread

Just won my first football playoff game on the strength of New York Giant wunderkinds Eli Manning and Hakeem Nicks. Went into the Sunday night game down 38pts and came out a 1.5pt winner. I didn't shit-talk until the game was over though, because God knows Eli can lose you two points in a hurry every once in a while.

It was perfect that the guy I beat was the most vehement shit-talker every time the Cavs lost in the playoffs. AND he's a Cowboys fan. I've been railing him harder than Eli railed that Cowboys defense all game and choking him harder than Tony Romo.

Seattle's D, has to score 1.84 points! Please....

I can't think of too many defenses that can't put up at least 2 pts. Shit...even if they give up 30pts, as long as they get a sack or an INT, you're good.

I'd bet $30,000 they put up 2pts or more.

I need four points from Seattle's defense to bump off CCF in the RCF league. I don't even need the win because I have first place and a bye lined up for next week, but I'm not going to pull any punches.

I'm debating whether or not to throw a game next week for matchup reasons. I clinched the division tonight so I'm in the playoffs for sure.

The only thing stopping me from doing it is that there are still a couple of battles going on to make the playoffs. If the guy I'm playing next week beats me, he's in. If he loses, somebody else is in. I don't know if it's fair to play god like that or if I should just throw out my best lineup and see what happens. Thoughts?

Do what's in your best interest.

I see seatle getting 4 plus points easily , for my sake i hope they don't get over 10 points because im up 11 points and 1 win away from the $200 championship game. Im really sweatin it , Arian foster and cj spiller dropped the ball for me this week.

The other tough thing is I really want to beat the guy I'm playing. If I win I keep him out of the playoffs, get to win a bet I made, and shit talk the guy to death. It's a tough choice, I can try and knock this guy out of the playoffs and rub it in his face (I'm confident I'll win), or I can throw the game for a better matchup in the postseason.

man i thought i was done last night. i was down by 2 and had dez bryant, my opponet had murray and he got hurt. didnt realiz bryant had a 50 yard td catch and that put me out in front. advance to the next round.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, by Felix Jones is on the Waivers, who would be a great replacement for my recently lost Demarco Murray. My season might be salvagable. Losing Jennings is going to hurt bad though.

I need Marshawn Lynch to get less then 4 points...of course i started stafford over romo

I already have McFadden out. So I right now have Bradshaw and Toby Gerhart... Peterson comes back so I have to quit riding that one... I am faced with Bradshaw and Ryan Grant on waivers or Donald Brown... Yikes...

I hope the Packers pull Rodgers early against the Chiefs, my only hope. That and Grant gets 30 carries...

X - Donald Driver could be a good replacement of Jennings if he is available... That is what I am planning on doing...

Fucking robbed by stat correction. Bullshit. My playoffs are over.

Alright Keys, need your help brother. (And anyone else who wants to give advice.)

I'm in the playoffs as the #1 seed, but, despite my attempts to avoid this matchup, I'm going up against a guy who has Foster going against Carolina and Felix Jones against Tampa Bay (or Ben Tate against Carolina, too.. because they're going to run all over them).

Flacco vs. SD
or
Fitzpatrick vs. Mia

(Waiver wire guys: Locker vs Indy (really looking at this matchup if Locker starts) and Ponder vs NO)

RB's: Really need AP to play. The other-
SJax vs Cincy
or
Kevin Smith (if healthy) vs Oakland

(Smith has a better matchup if healthy, but SJax has been pretty consistent on getting his points.)

WR's: Starting Laurent Robinson (vs TB), Holmes (vs Phi), and Maclin (vs NYJ)

Not a fan of my latter two matchups, but would you start Gaffney (NYG) or Damian Williams (vs Indy) over either?
(Waiver wire: Donald Driver (vs KC), Andre Roberts (vs Cle), Early Doucet (vs Cle))

TE is Gronk

Def is either Pittsburgh vs SF or Tenn vs Indy (currently starting).

Sit 1 from the following:

Hakeem Nicks vs. WAS
Kevin Smith @ OAK
Michael Bush vs. DET
Julio Jones vs. JAC (I'm planning on playing Matt Ryan so I think I'd like to start JJ)
