Okay, I've had to do injury scrambling. Any advice on my championship lineup? It doesn't look like the most dominating group, I know.

Known starters in bold, 0.5 ppr

QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF

QB: Matt Ryan
WR: Calvin Johnson, Lance Moore, Jabar Gaffney, Mike Williams, Michael Crabtree
RB: Lesean McCoy, Felix Jones (?), Kevin Smith, Kahlil Bell, Ryan Grant, Mark Ingram
TE: Jimmy Graham
K: Jason Hanson
DEF: Baltimore

i will literally respond to every unanswered question on the last page if some of you help me out with a pretty brutal lineup choice this week... scoring is ppr, bonuses for long plays and high yardage totals. qb's tend to score the highest because their bonuses are the largest. that said, here are my cringeworthy options

qb kellen clemens vs pit
rb chris ivory vs atl
wr andre roberts vs cin
wr jerome simpson vs ari
te jermaine gresham vs ari

just pick the least bad one

themaninblack · 12-23-2011, 08:46 PM

Pick 2:
Jimmy Graham vs. ATL
Rob Gronkowski vs. MIA
Jermicheal Finley vs. CHI

Pick 3:
AD vs. WAS
Cedric Benson vs. AZ
Stephen Jackson vs. PIT
DeAngelo Williams vs. TB
AJ Green vs. AZ

Wow. I'd probably go Gresham.

hernandez, imo. finley has been all over the place since that bears game while hernandez seems a safe bet for at least 50-70 yards, and a touchdown if you're lucky.

And then at WR, need to pick three:

Bryant vs. PHI, Cruz @ NYJ, Nicks @ NYJ, Maclin @ DAL or Heyward-Bey @ KC?

those rb options are all very hit or miss. i'd avoid the packers, though

i think mike williams. dhb is inconsistent and kc's defense has been solid 3 of the past 4 weeks.

i just grabbed charlie batch over clemens. i think i might roll with him because a td of 50+ yards (a very good possibility with pit against stl's secondary) would guarantee him a 10+ point day.

A Perfect Score · 12-23-2011, 11:41 PM

GAH! I still dont know whether to play Lynch or Turner. Might wait to see if Willis is still out.

i'm rolling with lynch for lack of another option, but i can't see him getting shut out of the endzone. he's got the best percentage in the nfl as far as turning carries inside the 5 into touchdowns and he's on fire right now. it might be an ugly 40 yards and a td (say, on 20 carries), but it's still 10 points

I could technically play CJ Spiller instead as well, and some are projecting him for a huge week. Spiller also has WR eligibility, but Im stacked there. It really comes down to Turner, Lynch, Spiller and Stevie Johnson. I've gotta pick 2.

i think spiller gets shut down, honestly. the bills suck and denver's d is on fire. i'd also avoid playing a wr like johnson where you can play a rb. i'd probably roll lynch and turner. if you can't risk lynch, then i'd go with spiller

Mr. Goosemahn · 12-24-2011, 09:34 AM

Choose 2:
Antonio Brown without Roethlisberger
Vincent Jackson with a dinged up groin
Percy Harvin with the Vikings

Choose 1:
Kevin Smith
Mike Tolbert
Legarrette Blount
Jonathan Stewart

Choose one (flex):
Any of the previous plus Jermichael Finley

I've also got the Ravens D and Mason Crosby.

Last minute opinions?

spot start question: evan royster or charlie batch

I am so sketched out for my championship. So much cash riding on the outcome.

My team (right now):

Stafford, Flacco, Turner, Rice, Austin, Colston, Green, Hernandez, Spiller (Lynch, S. Johnson), Ravens, Crosby

His team:

Sanchez, A. Smith, Sproles, MJD, C. Johnson, R. White, Cruz, Witten, Gore, Packers, Novak

I have a 2 point lead after last week. It's going to be so damn close. My biggest advantage is that I'm the only team in our league who can cancel out Calvin Johnson, as he's catching his passes from Stafford.

NotRickJames · 12-24-2011, 03:53 PM

I hate Blount.

NotRickJames · 12-24-2011, 04:19 PM

Welp, playing Tebow over Romo won't come back to hurt me. Done for the game.

A Perfect Score · 12-24-2011, 08:50 PM

I'm pretty sure AJ Green cost me my fantasy championship today. I'm up 23 with Mason Crosby and Marques Colston left, but he has Packers D/ST, Roddy White and Darren Sproles. It's going to be insanely close.

Mr. Goosemahn · 12-24-2011, 09:03 PM

I'm down 22 with Rodgers, Jermichael, and Sproles left.

He still has Roddy White, Pierre Thomas, and John Kasay. I'm ******, aren't I?

Well at least we'll both be rooting against Roddy White!

Mr. Goosemahn · 12-24-2011, 09:10 PM

**** Jairus Byrd and London Fletcher. 30 points between both guys.
