-Semi-Finals -PPR League -The rest of the scoring is standard. -I'm comfortable with the rest of my lineup, but I'm questioning these 3 spots. -Opponent is the #1 seed...he racks up a lot of points. -I hate him and want to beat him.
Deion Branch vs Packers- He's been money for me recently, and Brady is on fire. I don't know if I can sit him...but in the back of mind, I'm always thinking that there's no way this guy is for real. If Rodgers plays, I expect a high scoring game between the Pats-Packers, so I can see him racking up the points. He's almost a definite.
Brandon Lloyd vs Raiders- I love this guy, I picked him up early in the year, and he saved my season. But we all know Mcdaniels was an offensive genius, and with him gone, Orton has gone back to being crap and subsequently so has Lloyd. I think I stick through this though and play my money guy in the big game. I feel like Orton and Lloyd must have some kind of connection that still lingers. But still...he only caught 1 ball for 46 yds and has to lineup across from Nnamdi Asomugha...and that makes me feel uncomfortable.
Vincent Jackson vs 49ers- The guy burned me week 12. I didn't play him last week, but I was encouraged to see he played a full game. He just has way too much talent to not perform. I spent a draft pick on him thinking he'd come back early. I'm seriously thinking of letting the dice roll here.
Brandon Jacobs vs Eagles- Guy has been running amazing lately. But even though he's labeled the starter...Bradshaw is the lead back and will get the receptions. Keeping in mind that this is a PPR league, my only value with Jacobs is if he gets 15 carries and hopefully scores a TD. But then again, this Eagles D isn't that good anymore.
Brandon Pettigrew vs Bucs- He's not flashy, but in a PPR league he's been getting the job done week in and week out. But now with Drew Stanton at QB, he dropped off last week. He only got 3 targets and made 2 recs. This makes me a little hesitant to start the man. He's been a rock solid 9-12pts for me, and I even opted to start him over Vernon Davis for a week. But this might be the week where I need a little extra out of that position. So it might be worth rolling the dice on someone like Vjax or Jacobs.

Branch is automatic I think you have to roll with Jackson and Lloyd as your other 2. They have the highest upside, Jacobs has never been a PPR star and Pettigrew has Stanton who showed his true colors last week. The Lions have also shown more of a committment to the run the last few weeks.

Right now I'm leaning: Vjax Branch LLoyd
Thanks.
Keep an eye on Bradshaw's injury status. He hurt his hand late in last night's game. If he is out, Jacobs looks like a must start. But even with Bradshaw their, I'd lean towards Jacobs over Lloyd. I hate to say it, but Denver's offense looks bad, and Namdi is going to be all over Lloyd. So I'd say VJax, Branch and Jacobs.
Patriots will not relent, so Branch should continue to be productive. Tom Brady is playing at a crazy high level and he is bringing everyone along for the ride.
If Bradshaw is out, Jacobs is a must start IMO. I see 100yrds 1TD min for him.
Leaves LLoyd and VJAX in my book. Flip a coin Both come with huge risk. I guess I lean VJAX because of the QB
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm pretty sure Bradshaw is playing though. Here's the latest report:
Mike Garafolo of the Newark-Star Ledger confirms that Ahmad Bradshaw's Week 14 wrist injury is not believed to be serious. Bradshaw was "singing" following the game after sitting out a chunk of the fourth quarter. It was a blowout win for the G-Men, so there was no reason to put Bradshaw back in. He may miss some practice time as he did with the wrist injury last week, but should be good to go against Philadelphia.
So I have to figure 12-15 carries for Jacobs and I'm basically hoping he gets a td cause the yards alone wont be enough in our ppr league.
Latest report on Vjax looks good...he's not even listed on the Injury Report for the week.
Im starting to lean Branch, Jacobs and Vjax now...but can I really sit LLoyd? He's been a beast all year for me.
I like the way you are thinking in Branch, Vjax, and Jacobs. All solid plays in my book.
If you're concerend with sitting Lloyd on your bench, I don't have any issues with starting him over VJax. He's easily the highest Risk/reward guys of the three....and if your gut says Lloyd I say go for it.
I wouldn't get cute on the V.Jax play now . . . upside could be big . . . but there is too much risk in my mind. What did he do so far? Get hurt in his first game back . . . miss a game . . . and then 2 catches for 29 yards. Not enough evidence for me that he will have a good game . . . but you never know.
I like Branch, Lloyd, and BJacobs as your best risk options.
