2. Note your league's scoring: PPR? 4 or 6 pt TDs? ESPN vs. Yahoo? etc.
3. Keep it short.
4. Try to answer other people's questions. That way everyone gets some feedback.

If it matters, I am not in the playoffs yet (week 17 championship), but this week is still a must-win if I want to get in. Yahoo 12 team standard scoring.

Would I be insane to bench Palmer vs the Vikings on Thursday for the Bort vs the Colts?

After seeing the Colts get torched so bad by the Steelers it is pretty tempting. I hate to sit Palmer though, even on a Thursday.

The Chiefs might be a little fool's gold with their winning streak, but they sure as hell look a lot better than Indy. I think I would rather hitch my wagon to Maclin than Hilton.

As for RB, I like Draughn better than Allen. Seattle's D just destroyed the Vikes and made Peterson completely irrelevant. Draughn is not only facing a terrible rush D, but also his former team in Cleveland(on the CLE roster earlier this year even). Seems like coaches love to give players the chance for revenge against teams that let them go(see: Andre Johnson week 5, Steve Smith week 4 2014).

I wouldn't call it crazy. I'm not going to bother looking up standard scoring, but in my league with almost standard scoring I only have Palmer about 20 points ahead of Bortles for the year. Minnesota is actually a little better against the pass than against the run if that matters. Go with your gut I'd say.

My running backs have been a weak point thanks to Denver's ground game being a season-long wet fart. My 1st round playoff opponent swept me in two extremely close games, so I'm extra paranoid about my lineup this week.

Here's my RB2 and flex choices (RB1 is Jonathan Stewart)

1PPR league. All TDs are 6 pts. Everything else is normal.

Pick a QB

Tyrod @ Phi
Winston vs. NO

I'm leaning Tyrod because I've benched him these past two weeks and he's gone off. Eagles defense does give up a lot of points too. Although Winston does have a great matchup with the dumpster fire that is the Saints defense

Pick 2 RB

DeAngelo @ Cin
David Johnson vs. Min

Ivory vs. Ten
DeMarco Murray vs. Buf (lmao)

Current choices are in bold. DeAngelo sees a good amount of dump off passes. While David Johnson is playing on TNF, he's going up against a Minnesota defense that is missing some key pieces. I'm reluctant to start Ivory because Powell stole a lot of work this past week.

Thoughts?

I think I'm going all-in on the Jacksonville passing game this week with Bort, Robinson and Hurns, but would anyone swap Hurns out vs the Colts for any of the following (standard no ppr):

Lafell @ Houston
D. Jackson @ Chicago?

and for RBs, Deangelo is obviously starting for me, but I have to decide for the second slot between:

Hill vs Pittsburgh
West or Ware vs SD
Hightower @ TB

Right now I have West in but I keep flipflopping between him and Hill. West's performance in the committee was pretty underwhelming last week, but he does have a good matchup, while Hill has been playing like he actually belongs on fantasy rosters the past couple weeks, yet has a not-so-great matchup.

I just got Hightower for the hell of it in case he pans out but I don't think he's an option over those other guys - am I wrong?

Ugh I'd hate to not start Allen Robinson, but Hurns is coming back so you may see a drop off in production from his last couple of games. Julio Jones, I don't think you can bench him, but ugh, Carolina, ugh. I think Robinson has the higher floor (much higher) but Julio could do Julio things and have a slightly higher ceiling. Sorry, this is probably no help. If it makes you feel better I think you have it 100% correct at RB, and QB I don't think you could go wrong, so pick the people in the games you get to watch due to your local broadcast heh.

Sorry to say, but

quote:

Brandin Cooks has been added to the Saints' injury report with a concussion, and missed Thursday's practice.
It's unclear if Cooks was concussed on Wednesday or Thursday, but either way, he's now all but certain to miss Sunday's game against the Bucs. It further downgrades Drew Brees on the road, and leaves fantasy owners in a lurch for the first week of the playoffs. Barring a surprise Cooks clearance, Brandon Coleman and Marques Colston will fight for scraps behind Willie Snead. Ben Watson receives an upgrade.
