Week 15 Semifinals baby! Flex / WR conundrum WHIR

[trojandrew]

Hey folks, fun to see all the other peeps in the playoffs, good luck to you all!

I'll give my lineup, their matchups, and the players who I think are locks. We start 2 QBs, 2 wr, 2 rb, 1 flex, 1 te, and 5 IDPs (but i won't go in to that, I'm pretty set there)

QB
Matt Schaub vs St.L - lock, no brainer)
Kurt Warner vs Det - lock, my back up is Chad Henne and I'm confident Kurt will bounce back

WR (this is where it gets sticky)
Randy Moss vs Buf - Brady and Moss lit up Buff last time, but is Moss getting angsty???
Larry Fitzgerald vs Det - I love the matchup, when Warner is on fire *usually* Fitz is too, but the knee, last week, dunno?
Vincent Jackson vs Cin - FINALLY came back to life last week (didn't matter I had a bye), can he do it again?
Sidney Rice vs Car - not sure what I think about this matchup or with how ordinary Rice has been lately
Donald Driver vs Pit - He's been Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde all year, he's been a good guy to come off the bench but not someone to count on

Usually Moss and Fitz are my locks but not sure this week...? Seems like everyone is being pretty cautious with Moss despite the fact he's not injured (just his pride / ego / whatever) and yet people like Fitz even with the whole knee thing. Hrrrm.

RB
Ray Rice vs Chi - *LOCK* Wow I wish I could snag his pts from last week and use them this week
Ricky Williams vs Ten - Lock, very consistent and even more the goto guy then ever before
Cedric Benson @ SD - Put up good numbers against the Minn wall last week
Laurence Maroney - Looks like the committee has elected its chairman, he's put up good numbers on my bench

:EDIT:
FOrgot to mention my TE's... Vernon Davis vs Phil or Antonia Gates vs Cin?

So whaddya guys think? I'm leaning towards 3 RBs: Rice, Williams, and Maroney? Then VJax and Fitz at WR?

Playoffs... do or die!

Definitely Warner and Schaub for QB's. I would go Fitz and Driver. The secondary for Pittsburgh is nothing without Polamalu and Fitz gets the Lions. Rice has a tough one against a good pass D of Carolina. Buffalo's pass D has been good as of late and Jackson to me could be a 2nd option as opposed to Driver. I am just going with the matchup based on recent trends.

For your RB's definitely Rice, Maroney and Benson. But I could see you starting Williams over Benson too.

At wr I would start Fitz and V-jax.. Moss just looked so disinterested last week, and Buffalo is tops in the league against the pass

At Rb/flex I would start Rice, Williams, and tough decison on the 3rd, but I'm leaning towards Benson over Maroney. I have that same delemma in one of my leagues -Benson or Maroney. I'm still not 100% who I'm starting between those two to be honest.

thx for helping me

Fitz and Moss as your WR's.

Benson, Rice, and Williams as your RB's.

AND VD as your TE. No Brainer.

thanks for the help guys! i agree with the suggestions to bench Moss, so right now I'm down to V.Jax vs D.Driver but leaning towards Jackson (I've got him and Fitz lined up right now).

For the RBs, I've got Rice, Williams, and Benson lined up but I'm also waffling between Benson and Maroney and I'll admit I too am leaning towards Maroney. Every time I bench Benson for matchup reasons he winds up scoring crazy points on my bench so I'm paranoid haha.
