Sit/Start Week 16
 

Finals baby! Very tough match ups:

Pick 1:

Kaepernick @ Seattle
Rivers @ Jets
Flacco Vs Giants


Pick 2:

Bryce Brown Vs Washington
Lynch Vs San Fran
Morris @ Phil.
Foster Vs. Minn.

Rivers

Morris
Foster

I just think Morris will have a big game against a Philly defense that gives up the 10th most points to opposing RBs. Does your team have a flex?

Fill in the gaps please

QB: ???
RB1: ???
RB2: ???
Flex: ???
WR1: Marshall
WR2: Julio
TE: ???
D/ST: Broncos
K: Bryant

Options

QB: Kaepernick or Rivers
RB: Rice, Martin, Ridley, BJGE, Moreno
Flex: Those backs + Jennings or Blackmon
TE: Rudolph, Finley or Scheffler

Luck @ KC or Stafford vs. ATL?

Pick 3:
Vincent Jackson vs. STL
Amendola @TB
Gibson @TB
Wright @GB
Avant vs. WAS
Hixon @BAL

W/R/T :
Everyone up there ^ and Gresham @PIT


Pick 2:
Spiller @MIA
Peterson @HOU
Morris @PHI

QB is tough...but I'd probably go with Kaepernick since he also has the ability to get points with his legs.
Rice and Martin are no brainers. Stick Moreno in the flex.
TE...go with Scheffler

I like Luck better, but Stafford might throw more especially if Atlanta gets out to a lead.

VJax, Amendola, and...err...is there no better option available? I suppose Avant or Hixon...definitely Gresham in the flex.

Peterson/Morris at RB. Being a Bills fan I still don't trust Gailey's use of Spiller, and even though AP has a tough matchup, you can't sit him.

Got in the finals thanks to a solid kick from Gostkowski lol... Need help with basically setting up my whole team, playing my buddy who thinks he is hot **** and I rrreeally want to beat him

QB: (pick one)
Newton vs. Oakland
Manning vs Cleveland

RB: (pick two)
Spiller vs. Miami
Richardson vs. Denver
Morris vs. Philly
D. Williams vs Oakland

WR: (pick two)
D. Thomas vs Cleveland
Cobb vs Titans
Wayne vs Chiefs
Austin vs Saints

Flex:
(Any of the ones up top)

TE: (pick one)
Olsen vs Oakland
Daniels vs Minny

Defense: (Pick one)
San Fran vs Seatle
(this is the defense I got on my team right now, the others are waiver wire pickups I can pick up)
Falcons vs Lions
Indy vs Cheifs

Bolded are my picks, although leaving Cobb on the bench is really tough. Richardson has a bad matchup, but he's getting TDs from goal line carries even if he doesn't pick up the yards. I like the idea of going for broke and double dipping with Manning/Thomas (Manning is a no brainer IMO, you gotta stick with the stud).

Seattle's D is really good but I think you go Kaepernick. Foster and Morris at RB.

Kaepernick, Rice, Martin, Moreno, Rudolph.

Luck, VJax, Amendola, Avant (can you add Cooper?), Gresham.

Peterson and Morris.

Regular starting QB is Big Ben but do I go to Bradford against the worst pass D in the championship? Normally, I'm a "go with your guys" players, but...

I still say Roethlisberger. Bradford hasn't been productive enough, even a great game for him due to the opponent is likely going to be similar to an average game from Ben this week. And Roethlisberger has more big game potential.

Pick 3 (2 RB spots and the Flex)

Trent Richardson vs. DEN
Darren McFadden vs. CAR
Bryce Brown vs. WASH
BenJarvus Green-Ellis vs. PITT

EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw that Brown will be splitting carries with the returning LeSean McCoy. Makes this decision easier.

Pick 2 : Matt Forte @ ARI , K.Moreno vs. CLE , S.Jackson @ TB , R.Bush vs. BUF
Pick 2 : Marques Colston @ DAL , Lance Moore @ DAL , Brandon Marshall @ ARI , Mike Williams vs. STL , D.Bess vs. BUF

Pick 1 of the above that wasn't used for W/R .

NE Def vs. JAC or STL Def vs. TB.

PPR with points for return yards as well

Need 1 WR spot to be filled and 1 RB spot to be filled with these choices


WR: Amendola @TB
Wallace VS.CIN
Jennings VS.TEN

RB: Sproles @Dallas (My opponent has Brees)
Murray VS. NO

For TE I have Gresham (vs PIT) should I stick with him or pick up Olsen (OAK). I also have Newton and Smith so I'd be putting all my eggs in Carolina's basket, but they have been playing really good lately and have a great matchup this week against Oakland.

B. Roethlisberger has been my guy but lately Wilson has been killing it. Seattle is playing SF this week. is it worth starting Wilson over Big Ben for championship game?

Thanks for the response, but I wanted some more insight on your thoughts on picking Manning over Newton. Manning has gone 4 or 5 games were he has gotten 12, 14 or 17 points (all against teams that suck). He has yet to bust out for a huge fantasy game, whereas Newton has in the last couple of starts. I really want to be sure to start the right guy, cause I have been screwed in a position like this before.

So I should pick up Cooper and start him over Avant?

also,

Amendola @TB or Hilton @KC

Rough week for me last week, hopefully people didn't take much of my advice. ;)
Not a good matchup but I think you gotta go Kaep here. Rivers is unstartable, and Flacco's just been too bad lately for me to trust him, even at home with the good matchup.

Brown's out with McCoy back. I like Morris against the Eagles (especially if RG3's out). That's a game they should win, thus Morris should stay busy. The Vikings have been very mediocre against the run the last 8 weeks, so I'd go Foster. Tough to sit Lynch but that Niners run D is legit.

Gotta go Kaepernick. Rivers has just been too bad this year for me to start him. Your RB options are fantastic. That being said, I think you gotta go with three of them. Rice and Martin are locks, then I'd go Moreno. Ridley's been a little too inconsistent and while BJGE gets a lot of touches, his upside is always limited. I'd rank your TEs Rudolph, Scheffler, Finley.

I was way off on Stafford last week so my instinct is to sit him. But beyond that, the Falcons have made some real good QBs look real bad this year. KC is terrible. I'd go Luck.

VJax is always kinda hit or miss, but you still gotta roll with him. Looks like Amendola's healthy so I'd definitely start him as well. Gibson's seen a lot of targets the past 2 weeks, and that Tampa pass D is terrible. I'd go Gibson.

I don't have much confidence in your remaining receivers. Gresham's actually been real consistent over the past 7 weeks. I'd go with him.

Great options there. Sucks you have to sit one. It's gotta be Morris.

Peyton's cooled lately, and Newton's really picked it up. Cleveland's D has been better of late as well. I think you gotta go Newton, especially against a bad Raiders team. This isn't even terribly close to me. Cam's scored WAY more points than Peyton over the past month (roughly 120 to 65 in my league).

Spiller for sure. Morris and Richardson is real close. I'd lean Morris just because it's a better offense and there's a better chance they'll be winning. TRich gets the majority of his points from TDs, so it's riskier.

D Thomas for sure (even with Haden on him. AJ Green torched him.). Wayne's cooled a bit of late, and Austin's been the worst of the 4 (even though his matchup's great). I'd go Cobb.

Nice. Sucked having to sit both of those receivers. Wayne's been more consistent/productive this year, so I think you gotta go with him.

Daniels hasn't had a good game in 6 weeks. I'd go Olsen.

My first thought is the Colts, but their D just doesn't score anything. But with that in mind, the Chiefs have given up big points to Ds in all but two weeks. That is amazing. Comes down to a very good D with a below average matchup, or a below average D with a great matchup. I'd go with the Colts.

I'm from the "go with your guys" school as well. Look at it like this, if you go with Ben and he disappoints you can live with it. But if you start Bradford in your championship and he sucks it up you'll say what the hell was I thinking. Ben's been good (fantasy wise) since the injury, so I think you gotta go with him.

:nod:
Tampa's rush D is very good, so I'd sit SJax. Thomas is out of the picture in Miami, so that helps Bush's stock considerably. I still think you gotta go Forte and Moreno though. Despite last week's performance the Cards are still pretty bad, and Moreno's just been too good for me to sit.
Colston's been very mediocre aside from week 4/5, but you still gotta give him the nod over Moore. Start Marshall for sure. If you're worried about Peterson, Calvin caught 10 for 121 against him and missed a TD by about a foot. Peterson is a phenomenal talent, but he just isn't a shutdown corner (yet).

I always like going RB over WR when I can, and with a good matchup and Daniel Thomas completely phased out I'd go Bush.

Definitely the Pats. Their D has scored a ton this year, and Jacksonville gives up way more to Ds than Tampa.

As tough as it is to sit those two guys I think in a PPR league (and with Tampa's pass D being atrocious) I'd go Amendola.

Murray's projected for big points this week, but PPR and return yards gives Sproles the edge here.

Having Newton, Smith, and Olsen would concern me, but it is Oakland. I normally don't look at this, but since this one's close I did. Pitt is 3rd in the league at limiting TEs, Oakland is 28th. Ride that Carolina train my friend.

Very tough call here. Wilson's been real good 6 of the last 7 weeks (the 1 being the blowout against AZ where he didn't need to be), but obviously it's a bad matchup. Everyone knows SF has a great D, but they're 6th at limiting QBs, and Cinci is 7th. I'm more confident in Wilson at home (particularly in this matchup) so I'd go with him.

Gotta go Amendola. Better player and better matchup.

I think I would. Neither is especially enticing, but Cooper seems to be more likely to score. PPR league I might stay with Avant. Not much help...

2QB league (#1 QB Romo)
Locker @GB
or
Weeden @DEN
or
Wilson (waiver) vsSF
or
Kaepernick (waiver) @SEA

WR3
Shorts vsNE
or
Amendola @TB

DEF
MIA vsBUF
or
ATL @DET
or
NYG @BAL

QB: Kaepernick, then Wilson. Weeden is horrible + horrible matchup, shouldn't be on the radar. Locker...slightly better matchup, but he's horrible. A below average game from Kaepernick or Wilson (as can be expected by their matchups) is still going to better than what Locker/Weeden will get you.

WR: Amendola. TB is a great matchup.

Def: Miami. Bills are easily the worst of those three offenses.

Definitely comes down to Wilson or Kaepernick for me. Both Ds are obviously good (Seattle's been better at limiting QBs), so I'll take the guy who's been better for longer who is also at home.

Shorts has been great this year but Amendola seems healthy and it's a great matchup so I'd lean with him.

The Ravens don't give up much to defenses, so I'd pass on the Giants (and they've cooled off of late). Bills and Detroit both give up a lot. Miami's D hasn't really had a good fantasy week in two months though so I'd go with the Falcons.

Thanks for the responses fellas.

Thanks as always! Lets go Panthers!
