I'm awash in decent options and it's making picking my flex tough, but if I win I'm in.

Standard Flex:

Kelvin Benjamin @ NO
Isaiah Crowell v Ind
Kenny Stills v Car (I'm already starting Brees, Ingram, and Graham. Too many Saints?)
Andre Ellington (if healthy) v KC

Leaning toward Benjamin but Crowell seems to be ranked higher by pretty much everyone. I do worry that Indy will run up the score and Crowell won't get a ton of touches. Thoughts?

Definitely Benji. Especially if it's PPR.

I'm in the second week of a 2-week playoff and up ~40 points. Looking for the highest floor. Pick 3 RB's, Standard scoring:

Lacy vs Atl
J Bell vs TB
Mason @ Wsh

Crowell vs ind
Ellington vs KC
Murray vs SF

Given injuries and my decent point lead I think the selected are the safest, but Crowell's matchup with Indy is tempting.

Lacy and Bell for sure. Mason/Crowell could go either way, but I'd lean towards Mason based purely on volume.

Cuz life sucks, kids. Get it while you can.

Standard Yahoo league

Romo @ Chicago
Rivers vs. New England

Leaning towards Romo just because it's Chicago, but I said the same thing about Philly last week.

Also the available defenses for streaming are a dumpster fire:

Tampa Bay, Dallas, Tennessee, Washington, Chicago, and New Orleans are the top 6 available based on projections. Anyone care to pick the least bad?

And don't start Decker over Maclin.

I think you have the right lineup given what you have. I don't trust Matthews against Seattle, even at home.

Can't believe I'm about to ask this, but in standard, would you go with Marshall or Bennett vs Dallas on Thursday night? Gotta pick one of them :(

Also if I'm hoarding QBs to keep them away from the #1 seed, would it be worthwhile to drop Eli for JStew?

Edit: he's currently starting the Tannethrill

That's what I'm thinking too. Plus he gets Washington again who he went ape poo poo on last time if I recall correctly. I'm a Redskins fan so I can't remember if it was him or the running game, but I think that was Larry Donnell night if I'm not mistaken.

0.5 PPR, small bonuses for big games (e.g., +1 point for 100+ yards receiving), this is week two of a two-week playoff match and I'm behind by 2.5 points.

Pick a tight end:
Jordan Reed vs. St. Louis
Dwayne Allen @ Cleveland
Heath Miller @ Cincinnati

Allen and Miller are both listed as "probable." Yahoo is giving a huge edge to Jordan Reed, who I just waivered so I haven't been watching him play, but can you really trust Washington players to produce? And isn't St. Louis' defense doing pretty well right now?

I see Miller as a safe floor of maybe 5 points, but if I'm going to come from behind to win this playoff match I've got to go for whoever has the higher ceiling.

Which DF/ST (I get PR yards in this league) do you like best?

NYG (@ TEN)
DAL (@ CHI)
DET (v TB)

I'm looking for turnovers, sacks and DEF TD potential, so I'm leaning DET.

If you're looking for turnovers and sacks more than points and yards allowed, I'd consider Dallas. Chicago has been dogshit at home all year, and Jay Cutler is good for a couple interceptions and a bunch of forced Cutler throws in the second half.

Are you looking to just win, or do you need a big win? I'd say Dallas has the higher ceiling, but Detroit has the higher floor.

Because the jets are bad and have given up the most TE touchdowns. However is also have,

Jason Witten @ Chicago

Chicago is also bad and have given up the most points to tight ends in fantasy. Who should I start?

Next best available on the waiver wire are Den vs. Buf, Washington vs StL, and...um...New Orleans vs Car?

Maybe it doesn't really matter anymore.
WR (pick 3 since I'll probably flex one, 1PPR league, star are my current picks):

M Sanu @ Pit*
B Marshall @ Dal*
J Matthews @ Sea
J Maclin @ Sea
K Stills @ Car*

This is the first week having a ton of Eagles players is working against me; even worse than their bye since this is the playoffs. Right now I'm leaning towards sitting both Matthews and Maclin, but I could see switching Maclin in for Sanu. Thoughts?

Well I stumbled my way into the playoffs and now i'm having a lot of trouble with my lineup. This is 1.5 PPR for TE's and 1.0 PPR for WR, RB.



Anyone have any changes they would make? I'm hosed no matter what I imagine. Reggie Wayne, Andre Ellington, and Vernon Davis are all bench options, but i'm not sure anyone else is really playable other than maybe Cam Newton.

Interesting. Starting Marshall fulfills DSYS but I am admittedly waffling between Marshall and Bailey. Bailey is a reception soak, so I think his floor in this 1ppr league is going to be higher than Marshall's floor.

Yeah but I think this will be a high scoring game as bad as the Bears are. As for the rational on Keenan, Rivers kills it in December and I think he'll be a big part of that.

100% no on that. He ran really well against them last time and it's a big game for the saints. I think he gets 100 and a TD but I could be incorrect. \

Double Edit: FWIW Cbs has Ingram as their start of the week. Not worth much to me, but I still stand behind the fact that I think he'll get a lot of carries and have a big game.

I have two quandaries. My initial choices in bold.

QB (6ppt, -2 per INT):
Sanchez vs. SEA
Dalton vs. PIT

FLEX (.5PPR):
A. Morris vs STL
A. Johnson @ JAX


My remaining lineup
RB: Ingram
WR: J. Jones, J. Nelson
TE: L. Donnell
2nd Flex: K. Stills
DEF: Lions
K: whatev

Remaining Bench: K. Rudolph, B. Sankey, J. Brown, C. Sims, B. Brown, TEN D (for next week)

So yeah, it's hard to pass up any WR playing Jacksonville but I'd be playing 4 WR in a must win game. And PIT is a okay matchup but then I'd be trusting Dalton. Is this all just a coin flip?

Edit: Not that it hurts, my opponent's lineup:

QB: Stafford
RB: L. Bell
WR: TY Hilton, B. Marshall
Flex: J. Hill, F. Jackson
TE: C. Fleener
Def: Miami
K: ok

Bench: P. Rivers, T. Rich, A. Boldin, James Jones, G. Olsen, A. Gates, GB Def
