BIG GAME... Who to Start/Sit?

[thebledsoe]

WOW- Colston for a Defense? Well done. I, too, would go Colston over Crabtree. If you get Roddy that would be huge, and he replaces Mason.

Good luck!

Haha. Thanks. I hope it goes through. I really need this win.

Trying to beat my boyfriend. He's played fantasy football before, but this is my FIRST time and I'm doing good, if I may say so myself... but I won't brag until I beat him!

[TIGERTOWN]

Agreed, Colston for Crabtree would be the substitution to make

[DCFan17]

Phew, yay.

It went through and I now officially have Colston.

I've put in another trade with someone else in case the owner of Roddy White doesn't accept in time. This time it's the same situation, but with Miles Austin.


Do you all really think Bradshaw will get more points than Derek Mason?

I cant tell you for sure, but I can tell you what I know...

bradshaws bad games are 8-10 pts (done 3x in 12 weeks), his good games are 15-20 (5x in 12 games), and he averages around 20 touches/game. and hes coming off his best performance of the season.
opposed to mason
whos bad games are 2-4 (6x in 12 games) and a good game is 10-14 (4x in 12 games) and hes a not even the #1 option in baltimore, averaging ~5 receptions...

mason has score more than 10 pts 3 times this season
bradshaw has scored less than 10 pts 3 times this season

The historical data points pretty clearly to bradshaw in this case regardless of matchup, even if bradshaw has a bad game against min, he could still score more pts than mason even if derrick has a good game...

Thanks. I agree, I do see that, and that's what's making this difficult. I just have this sneaking suspicion that Mason will have a great day considering I figure the Texans will focus on Rice and Boldin. I guess I can't base my line up on question marks with playoffs on the line here.

So not to be... nagging... but what 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 RB/WR would you start from my lineup?

[BabyArm]

keep it as it is now blount/bradshaw/charles + williams/colston, consider starting brees... regardless of matchup, if you get roddy, bench williams

Thanks again. IDK what it is, but I just have this weird feeling that Ivory may be a better option over either Bradshaw or Blount... but I can't be sure. I'm worried about the uncertainty.

Thanks for the help with mine. Good for you on the Colston trade, getting a WR for a DST is a fantastic deal. Not to mention the ATL matchup with CAR is a great spot start. So plugging Colston in at one WR, and imo you should be moving Bradshaw into your flex, you've upgraded twice. If your deal for White goes through, then you're set there too. Good luck!

Thank you very much. I guess if my toughest decision is what RB's to start (when they're all double digit guys), then I can't complain. That's a good problem to have.

I'm still nervous about it... I need to get as many points as possible... so do I go for a guy who can break off a run and get a TD - possibly... or do I go for the certain goal line points, with no extra yards gained points added?
