    I have Forte and might start him as well but make sure you check the weather. If it's snowing I would shy away from him. Only reason is that he relies big time on speed. If he's not able to get his footing like this last game then he won't have the effectiveness that he normally has being able to use his speed to the outside.

    pick top 2 of 5 (WR)

    Greg Jennings- GB @NE
    Calvin Johnson- DET @TB
    Hakeem Nicks- NYG vs. PHI
    Sidney Rice- MIN vs. CHI
    Mike Williams- TB vs. DET

    It is a NON-PPR league.


    Also need to pickup a backup TE in case Gates sits Thursday night game, so which of the five WR's to drop?

    I would keep Gates as my starter if he does sit, Drop him and pick up your back up TE. I would not drop any of those wide outs you have. Drop a rb if needed.

    my opponent this past week for the first round of the playoffs in our league had 131 points and still lost by 20+ i pulled out my best week ever at 153

    sucks for my opponent if he faced anyone else he would have won comfortably

    Three of the other owners remaining in the semi-finals may get on waiver wire and pickup the top few remaining TE free agents (like Zach Miller or Owen Daniels).

    Since I only have 3 RB's, not able to drop any other position at all.
    I think the plan for now is to just use my #1 waiver wire/ priority position->DROP Rice or Williams and get O.D. since he looked healthy last night. agree?

    Nicks is the sure start.
    I'd go Calvin for sure if Rodgers is out.. if Rodgers plays, I'd still go Calvin but could see you going w Jennings

    cut Rice. Favre is the one who had the good year with him. My opinion on that at least. But I'm also a big Mike Williams fan

    Very competitive league on my part. I'm currently 2nd seed with 6 losses (thank you moss), but I feel very comfortable I will win out!!

    OD is not a bad choice at all. Who are your rb's?

    I just roll with Michael Turner + LeSean McCoy each week for last few months

    and have Blount as my backup for playoffs since he has decent WK 15 + WK 16 schedule.

    If you only have 3 rb's than drop Rice since Williams has a more favorable remaining schedule.

    Handcuffs are needed as well, Jerome Harrisson.

    not sure why it's a question. i'd drop the defense

    and i would prefer not to use matt ryan vs. NO if you have better options--big ben is one

    Knowshon if you only have 1

    really tough call on the 2nd. Given the weather differences...maybe the Dolphins? With Johnson I'd be banking on him just being the only target. I do think Jennings will still be solid with Flynn at the helm.

    My choice was Johnson, but in case you couldn't tell..it was a close one

    Schaub vs Tennessee
    Big Ben vs NYJets


    Mike Williams(TB) vs Detroit
    Hines Ward vs NYJets
    Jeremy Maclin vs NYGiants
    Dwayne Bowe vs STL(may have Croyle at QB)


    One QB and two WR.

    AJ80 is other WR, he plays vs Tennessee


    And Kal: TO vs Cleveland. VJax is just not there.

    Schaub

    I'd consider Hines in a PPR league cause I figure he'll get a good # of catches over the middle.

    I'd go Bowe if Cassel is playing

    And I'd take Mike Williams over Jeremy Maclin this week in a tough call

    And I'd take Mike Williams over Hines even in a PPR in a tough call (but it'd only be close in a PPR league)

    Not PPR, just flat yards and TDs.


    Williams would probably be my #2 play. Just hope the waiver request goes thru. Maclin over Bowe with Croyle, otherwise hope Vick spreads it around a bit more than last week. Can't believe Bowe has 3 yards over his last two games and is still the top ranked WR in NFL.com leagues.
