Some tough Playoff Roster Decisioins to make- WHIR

[scott1360]

Need some help on some first round of playoffs lineup setting. Standard scoring but PPR as well.

QB- Schaub or Freeman
RB- starting Mendy but then 1 of Fred Jackson, Bradshaw or Tolbert
WR- Starting TO and Boldin but then Blair White or Earl Bennett (I would go Bennett for sure if it wasn’t supposed to storm/snow/wind here in Chicago)

I think Freeman is a safer - and in this case, better - option as he's a lock for double digits and faces a D in the Redskins that's 7th-worst in terms of most fantasy ppg allowed to QBs. Schaub has been decent lately, but has struggled vs. tough pass defenses this season and Houston will continue to ride Foster in an attempt to control the clock, etc.

All the RBs have pretty brutal matchups - all face Ds in the top half as far as fantasy ppg allowed to opposing RBs - so I think I'd roll with Bradshaw since it's PPR and he's getting more than enough touches to justify the start. Jackson is a decent second option though if you're sqeamish about the Vikes D with Ahmad...

At WR, it has to be Bennett. He's been getting more and more involved and has seemingly taken over from Devin Hester as the Bears' WR2/slot guy who will get a lot of looks in that offense. White is still probably a fourth-best option in that Colts offense without Collie, and that's not worth a playoff start for me (only way he'd have a push as far as upside is a TD-only league, because he's been targeted down in the red zone quite a bit lately).

Hope this helps

Some help with mine, please?

I like everything the last poster said but I respectfully disagree...

I like Schaub at home against BAL (no weather concerns) and Foster wont' be able to run as easily as he has in previous weeks. Baltimore's secondary is not that amazing. Freeman has good matchup but he won't have to throw much. It will be Blount/Caddy all the way. I'm a skins fan that watched first quarter of Giants game before throwing up in my mouth.

PPR - I love FJax against CLE. Bradshaw is solid but MIN tough to run against regardless.

Bennett is definitely better, but not a huge difference between the two. I might go with White since Peyton has been throwing so much.

I like Schaub over Freeman too. He seems to be pulling it together just in time for the playoffs and I'm not sure the Ravens bounce back after the loss to PIT.

I definitely like Bennett over White, but would probably play Bradshaw/FJax over either of them if you have the option.

If not, I'd probably go with FJax over Bradshaw.


Help please?!
