Lineup Help - WHIR

Postby Abiding Dude » Tue Dec 14, 2010 12:11 pm

I am the number one seed in our two-week, four-team playoffs this week! Thank you all for your help getting there!

Over the course of the regular season, I've found that my team has a lot of upside, but also has a pretty low floor. I am playing the #4 seed, but he has been on fire the past few weeks - he had to be to earn a playoff berth at 7-7.

Any way, take a look at my lineup and let me know what you think! As always, leave a link, and I'll help in return!

QB - Michael Vick @ NYG - Auto start
WR - Reggie Wayne vs Jac - Auto start
WR - Larry Fitzgerald @ Car - He is the obvious number one target and the entire offense for the Cards and Carolina is awful
RB - Chris Johnson vs Hou - Auto start
RB - LeGarrette Blount vs Det - He seems to be the feature back for TB now and I like the matchup
TE - Kellen Winslow vs Det - (Gronkowski and Owen are available in FA, but I like this matchup)
W/T - Danny Woodhead vs GB - I like this kid and with no QB for GB, I think their defense will be on the field a lot
K - Garrett Hartley vs GB
DEF - Philadelphia vs Min
BN - Brian Westbrook @ SD - He had one good play, but not the majority of the carries or yards last week - not sold as a starter
BN - Anthony Dixon @ SD - Keeping him on bench until Westbrook is the feature back or gets hurt
BN - LaDainian Tomlinson @ Pit - I don't like this matchup. The Jets can't seem to open holes and since the NE game, I am scared to start him
BN - Sidney Rice vs Chi - I like my other two options better
BN - Percy Harvin vs Chi - I like my other two options better
BN - Vincent Jackson vs SF - Just picked him up and hoping he'll be ready to help Rivers get to the playoffs

I think it might be too early to start planning for week 16, what about your week 15 roster?

The players opponents are different, but the roster is the same. Thanks for the catch - it has been updated.

I think you are looking pretty good here. I hate to say it, but starting VJ against my Niners might be a better bet than Woodhead. But only just slightly.

I think you got it right. Only thing I would suggest is getting Fitz out of there. Put in Rice or Jackson. I just woudn't trust John Skelton too much, especially when you got studs like VJax and Rice on your bench. Hard to say which one is the better play. I think Rice is the better overall WR, but Vjax plays in the better offense. Take your pick, but I think both do better than Fitz.

looks pretty good, but dont be too hasty to start fitzy, whoever has been under center for arizona this year has not been very effective at getting him the ball, i doubt that john skelton?? is going to change that.. id go with rice or jackson instead, possibly go with rice AND jackson instead of woodhead and fitzy, although i love woodhead and am a pats fan and would never do that myself...

Call me crazy but I start Jackson. Now would you do it over Woodhead, who doesn't seem to fit Beliceks' "Snow Day Game Plan" or Fitz... Tough call, but I would sit Fitz I guess
