*** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Good job if you've made it this far. This board has definitely helped me in making the playoffs, I know that. Enough brown-nosing, I need help.

Earlier this week I asked if I should pick up Ryan Moats or Marion Barber to help with losing Brian Westbrook. I was fortunate enough to grab both of them. I still have other options, and wanted yall to take them into consideration and lemme know who I should start as my #2 RB next to Tiki Barber.

1 pt for 10 yds rush/rec, 6 pts for rush/rec TD, -2 for FL

J.J. Arrington @ HOU
Marion Barber @ WAS
Ryan Moats @ STL
Antowain Smith vs CAR
Ricky Williams vs NYJ

Insight is greatly appreciated even though there is a poll here. GL to you all, and wish me luck cuz I'm going against a sick team this week.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

I like Ricky Williams. Not a huge fan of any of the options, but you wouldn't be asking if there was a no brainer. I just don't see the Fins being able to pass against a tough Jets D. So it's a lot of running against a weak run defense. Big games for both Ronnie and Ricky.

Here's my dilemma. I lost Bulger and have been picking up random QBs ever since (along with my backup Plummer). Who is the best option this week?

Plummer @ Bills
Losman vs. Broncos
Frerrote vs. Jets (Although I alrady said I don't think they'll be able to throw)
Carr vs. Cardinals

Plummer.

Will Ricky's horrible performance last week affect how many carries he gets?

As for your dilemma, I'd go with Plummer - he's the most consistent of your options and doesn't have a terrible matchup. I don't trust Losman, Frerrote, or Carr no matter who they're playing.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

I go with Moats, don't go near Ricky.

Check the weather before you start Plummer, otherwise Carr seems to be the only other option, and might be the best play.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

2 questions for 2 leagues. Scoring is close enough to normal that it doesnt matter much for these.

QB:
Brunell vs Dal
McNair vs Sea
Dont start anyone, its my best chance not to lose points

RB: (pick 1 to go with LT)
Moats vs Stl
McGahee vs DEN
Jamal Lewis vs GB

Thanks

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Brunell in the divisional matchup even tho he's been sucking it up lately (I got him too), I'd only start McNair as a last resort.

For your #2 RB I'd go with McGahee even though he hasn't been lighting it up this year, Moats still has to prove himself to me (ironically I'll probably be starting him for my team) and Jamal Lewis, well...

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Okay, I need serious playoff help here. I've got Shaun Alexander as my RB1 - no brainer. But I have picked the wrong RB2 in each of the last five weeks (it hasn't mattered as I've gone 4-1 anyway and had my league's top seed wrapped for a while). BUT...now it's playoff time, and I seriously need to pick the right guy.

Choices for RB2:
Samkon Gado at Baltimore
Mike Anderson at Buffalo
Fred Taylor vs. SF

Bonus Question for WR3:
Isaac Bruce vs. Philly
Derrick Mason vs. GB

Thanks guys. Oh, OP - I like Arrington vs. the Texans, personally...but that's just because I'm a Texans fan and have seen first-hand how horrific they are. There may be more merit in the popular pick of Moats.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Injuries have really screwed over my team. Going into the playoffs ina 2 vs. 3 matchup, I'm in desperate need of a no.2 RB. The options are as follows:
S. Davis against NO
M. Bennet against Pit
Arrington against Hou
Alstott against NE

My WRs have been carrying the load, and I've got Holt and Fitz going for sure. Should I go with Jimmy Smith@SF or Santana Moss@DAL this week. Yeah Moss torched em before, but their D has been pretty good since then and the Niners suck balls.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Buffalo has an AWFUL run D. I start Anderson. Taylor will probably still be losing a bunch of carries to Jones and Baltimore's D is not to be taken on chance on with an unknown RB.

Bruce.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

That's a tough one. I guess I go Bennett and Moss (which might not be the correct answe here).

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

moats or barber. pay attention to the media reports this week out of dallas. if barber is the starter you oughta go with him.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

plummer easy.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Plummer, Losman is not even starting

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

I have to pick one of the following QBs

Steve McNair v. Sea
Chris Simms at. NE

Yikes. I hope you start 2 QB's in your league. Simms hasn't done much except for the game against the Redskins. McNair is a bit banged up, but I still go McNair if he does play since he'll still probably give you 200 yards and a TD. Simms is more likely to give you 150 yards and no TD's.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Should I start Bledsoe @ Redskins or Collins v. Browns.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Bledsoe.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

Due to my 12-1 record I had a first round bye, so my first playoff game is this weekend. Which QB should I start?

Eli Manning vs. Chiefs
Matt Hasselbeck at Titans
Brett Favre at Ravens

the Giants/Chiefs game might be a shootout, but Eli threw 3 picks last week. Hasselbeck threw 4 TDs last week but they usually run Shaun Alexander a lot and the Hawks might get a big lead and stop throwing the ball.

thoughts? thanks in advance.

Bledsoe. Collins might not even play.

Here's my lineup problems:

RB - Dillon vs. TB or Bettis at MIN

WR - starting Burress vs. KC, Houshmandzadeh at DET
who gets #3? Wayne vs. SD or Driver at BAL?

DEF - Denver at BUF or Pittsburgh at MIN?

K - Rackers at HOU or Graham at DET?

Thanks all!

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

I'm thinking of sitting down C. Williams for Moats.

Crazy or not?

Moats in the dome in STL, TB in NE.

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

I would start Moats over Cadillac. The matchups just tell me that Moats is good for 100 yards and a TD, and Caddy would have to press to get that up in NE, their defense has started to play a lot better of late, albeit agains weak competition.

I am actually starting Lamont Jordan and sitting Edgerrin James this week. If Edge doesn't play in the fourth quarter, how can he rack up yards when the defense is tired, and SD has the #1 run defense. I have to make this move, but I am going to be sitting on my fingers all day Sunday.

Good luck!

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

I'd go with cadillac.

And I'd go with edge over jordan.

definately not farva, its a coin flip between eli and hasselbeck. Eli will be throwing alot v. the cheifs, hasselbeck may not even play more then 3 quarters if they get a good lead.

I need help with my RBs and Flex option.

I need to start two rbs two wrs and one Flex out of the following pool:

WR:
Larry Fitgerald
TJ Housmanzadeh
Randy Moss
Brandon Lloyd

RB
E. James
R. Johnson
R. Moats
W. PArker
F. Taylor
J. Jones

basically my wrs and rbs are soild with TJ and Fitgerald, and R. Johnson and E. James, but whose my flex?

Re: *** OFFICIAL WHO TO START FF PLAYOFFS WEEK 15 THREAD ***
 

start 2 rbs. 10 yds/pt, 6/td

sjax vs phi
caddy vs ne
Rbrown vs nyj
moats vs stl

edit - flex other league. rec and rushes get some fractional points. other normal stuff as above.

I have driver, chester taylor for flex. do I gamboooooool with chester, or hope driver goes off vs a tough D? KJones was supposed to be my back, or barlow. both dead/dying.

edit edit- just picked up moats too.
