    I think I'm going with Fat Rob over Rawls this week. Rawls hasn't had a productive game yet and Seattle seems quick to abandon the run. Rob has a better chance to vulture a TD or two at least.

    RB: Murray and Kelley. Both are likely to get the most touches in that group despite terrible matchups
    WR: Tyrell (think he's hurt) and Hilton. Never play WRs against Denver and Watkins is still hurt.
    TE: Reed
    Flex: Tough one. I dunno. I lean towards Lewis but his workload has been a ???? to me.

    Shouldn't have dropped ARI DST. Your most droppable guy is probably Starks or Sproles.

    @BigMaloe

    San Diego is a popular pick this week. As is Tampa Bay after dicking Seattle last week. Miami and GB are some other picks too.

    Sproles has been fine in PPR. ARI DST has trash matchups for a while. Starks might be the guy to drop, but the receptions seem to be there. You like Dion Lewis over Bennett?

    I totally overlooked the PPR part. My bad. I'd replace Kelley with Sproles. I still don't think Starks is a good idea against us. Apparently we can play defense against RBs. I'd like Lewis over Bennett. Bennett has been used as a blocking TE recently. Still a risky play but he's (Lewis) getting more work recently.

    GB is a good streaming option this week. If not list some options available if you can

    Glad I ignored my own advice. Plugged in Rawls on a hunch yesterday morning and also yanked D.Adams for Marshall due to the weather. And that has basically sealed a playoff birth for me.

    Looks good. Only possible changes are Williams or maybe Moncrief for Britt, but I understand the idea of putting a WR vs ATL. Just think its better to have a better QB throwing the passes. The only other one to consider is Dez versus the Giants. I know the "play your studs" but NYG tough to pass against.

    I got the 2nd seed in playoffs. The bad news is I face the team I traded Ajayi and Pryor to. Which wouldn't be as bad except the guy I got (Julio Jones) now has turf toe.

    Some start or sit questions:

    For QB: Wilson vs GB in snow or Winston vs NO?
    For RBs: Ware in freezing cold Thursday night vs OAK, Rawls in snow vs GB, Gordon vs CAR's tough running defense, or Miller and all his dings vs IND? Need two.

    I won't even worry about WR... hopefully hear good news about Julio to start alongside TY and maybe Fitzgerald or Moncrief.

    PPR. Thoughts? That shiny emerging NE WR is available. So is Lions, Bengals defense.

    My only hope at this point for any title shot is that I somehow sneak into the title game with the likes of Tyrell Williams at WR and AJ Green makes a miraculous return in Week 16. Le Sigh.

    That's what I'm hoping for, now answer the question above @moestavern19.
