Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Now that the Packer's perfect season is gone, you think they'll bench Rodgers? It's looking like my first playoff game will be against the guy who as him, if he's benched it would be huge for me.
 
Would anyone take Joe Flacco (vs. SD) over Rivers (vs Bal)? I'm losing by 0.8 points right now and those are the only two left. I have Flacco. :(

I got to play him next week in the semi finals. They still haven't clinched home field throughout. They will if the 49ers lose...I think.
 
It's going to be tricky for Rodgers owners (myself included). The 49ers play Saturday, along with many others teams. If they lose, the Packers clinch the NFC. The Packers play Sunday, so they could rest Rodgers that game...but what I think it more likely is he plays the first half and maybe gets you 20 points TOPS. I'm going up against Brees in the finals....so that may not be good enough. I'm probably going to pick up Flynn just in case.....although it still may be wise to look elsewhere if Rodgers doesn't play a full game.
 
My Rooseters are in the Super Bowl for the second straight year! I won by less than 1 point to get me there...

I don't see Rogers getting benched until possibly week 17. The concern should be if he gets just a little dinged up, he probably would head for the sidelines rather than play through the pain. I'd still start him for at least one more week.

I keep thinking this Eagles vs. Cowboys game is going to be exciting, what with traditional hated rivals and Dallas barely hanging onto a division lead. On the flip side, I wonder about Big Ben's health. Will he get rested against the lowly Rams? That will drop Antonio Brown's value.

Seriously? Those are your running backs? How are you in the Super Bowl? You might want to think about picking up that Kahlil Bell kid in Chicago who had a big week last week.


...My big question is which defense: Seattle against the 49ers, who don't turn the ball over, or slumping Dallas against Philly? Picking up Washington against Shitasota is also an option.

Alright, number 1 seed in the playoffs, of course in week 1 I get to face Brees and Ray Rice vs. the Browns.

Starting lineup as of right now looks like this

QB: Stafford
RB: MJD
RB: Michael Turner
WR/RB: Ben Tate
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Victor Cruz
TE: Gronk
DEF: Texans
K: Bailey

Bench:
Andre Johnson
Dwayne Bowe
LeGarrette Blount
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Bengals
Gates
Kevin Smith

I think my lineup looks solid though I do have a couple questions. Tate is facing a shitty Colts team, you think he will get enough carries to make a difference or should I go with Blount against the Panthers? Cruz is facing the Jets and he hasn't been great as of late. Should I go with a different WR here? If Andre is healthy this week would you start him even though he hasn't played much lately?
 
I had Akers last night. He kicked that 4th quarter FG to give me a 2pt lead. Then the FG got taken off the board due to a bullshit call and i vomited on my television. Fortunately they scored and the extra point moved me at least into a tie....a fricking tie! Wasn't sure of the rules, but tie breaker goes to higher seed, which is me. Back in the finals again! :thumbup:
 
Looks like Andre Johnson is out for his game, so you guys can forget about him.

Right now, my QB's are Fitzpatrick (vs Den), Flacco (vs Cle), and Locker (vs Jac). I can pick up Matt Moore (vs NE). I'm not liking my main guys right now. Flacco probably won't get to do much with Ray Rice running all over us. Fitzpatrick has been shitting the bed weekly. Locker would be a good play if Ten goes with him. My question is, would you guys play Moore over Locker (if he plays) or one of Fitzpatrick or Flacco?

Keys, you haven't steered me wrong yet, but I really don't like the SJax play this week vs Pitt. They haven't given up a rushing TD yet. I don't see Pitt pulling away too badly, so maybe he still gets a good amount of points between rushing and receiving, but it's still tough. I think I'm going with Kevin Smith if he's full go this week or possibly Kahlil Bell if I pick him up.

WR's are tough this week too. Maclin should be back. That gives me two spots for Laurent Robinson (vs Phi), Jabar Gaffney (vs Min), Santonio Holmes (vs NYG), and Donald Driver (vs Chi). I'm leaning towards Maclin, Robinson, and Gaffney right now, but I might swap out Robinson for Holmes later in the week.
 
I'd go with Flacco, pick up Kahlil Bell, and I'm all in on Gaffney this week. We agree on S-Jax. Keep an eye on K. Smith and Maclin's health. I still don't trust Maclin and I will be benching him. Robinson is a fine replacement if need be.

Good luck!

Thanks, but I'm curious why you'd go with Flacco. Granted, Fitz is always a shaky play, and Locker might not play. But Flacco over Moore vs NE? Not that I want the Browns to lose, but Baltimore will probably run the ball 50+ times on us for 200 yards this week. Plus, it's not like he had a great outing vs us the first time (4.22 points in my league).
