Tough choices this week... WHIR

Postby chcbb » Sun Dec 06, 2009 11:40 am

Playing the #1 team in our league, a win locks me into the playoffs. It's a tough week for me to pick, her are the positions I'm having trouble with:

QB - both have good matchups, Det does have the worst pass D, and the Chargers might have a lot of success running it, but Rivers has been my starter all year, why switch now?
Rivers @ Cle
Palmer v. Det

WR - Pretty set on Welker and MSW, and probably Calvin since he's had the long rest. Redskins are a tough matchup for any receiver, and NO has a lot of options, Meachem might finally have a quiet game.
Welker @ Mia
MSW v. Hou
Megatron @ Cin
Meachem @ Was

RB - first instinct is AP and Benson, but w/ Benson coming off the injury I'm tempted to put in Mendenhall w/ the good matchup
Peterson @ Ari
Benson v. Det
Mendendall v. Oak

DEF - picked up the Panthers since they have the chance to put up some good numbers against TB... Ravens may get some picks and sacks against Rogers, but GB still has potential to put up a lot of points...
Carolina v. TB
Baltimore @ GB

I would say Rivers for your QB

Welker and MSW for sure. Meachem is a red zone threat at very least and honestly, the Skins haven't faced a pass attack like they will this week. I could make a case for either Megatron or Meachem.

I would go AP and Mendy. No disrespect to Benson, but I think Mendy has a stronger game today.

I would say Carolina for your D since the Ravens pass D has been a little suspect this year.

QB: Rivers. Both have great matchups, but Rivers has better weapons and the Browns made Stafford look like Joe Montana a couple weeks ago.

WR: You've on the right track. You've got three bonafide studs and a 3rd receiver that vultures TD's from guys like Colston and Shockey (bitter Colston owner here, ;)). Gotta go with Welker, MSW, and CJ.

RB: I like Benson and AP. Mendenhall has a great matchup, sure, but he's only gone over 100 a couple times this season and neither time was against his other three "great" matchups (KC, Cle, Det).

DEF: Panthers. Baltimore isn't who it once was defensively and is playing a high-powered offense, and Carolina has a great matchup.
