Tough one. Giants secondary is not that great, but it wouldn't surprise if they go on their "oh-sh*t-we-need-to-win" mode that they always seem to have late in the season.

I'd probably go with Jennings, since the Lions secondary is also not all that. Plus, Jordy Nelson being out (I think) may help Jennings. And he's probably healthier and more in football shape this week now that he has had a game under his belt.

I would take Jennings against Detroit, because NYG will be playing hard, Detroit is on the verge of giving up on the season.

What about this?

For a flex position, I have Wallace, Blackmon, and also Martellus Bennett. One will get 18 points, one will get 6 and one will do nothing. Sadly on any given week it could be any one of them getting 0.

Ben's playing...go with Wallace and hope. Wallace has your biggest upside.

Wallace has been dropping the ball a lot, even when Big Ben was playing. I'd go with Bennett, just because I don't think the Saints D is that great. I know that's a big risk though.

Yeah. I was leaning towards Jennings. Either could put up 15, either could put up 0. [and yes, Nelson is out. I know this 'cause I have him too]

los ... I too started Myers over Gates who has been, well, generally crappy and is going against Pitt. I am sure Gates will now have a breakout day.

that's usually the way it works. last week was an exception, i started bennett (14) over meyers (19).

I'm in dilemma with my RBs situation. I have Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Mikel Leshoure and Steven Jackson. All games, AP always was my #1 RB but for this game, I'm not sure anymore. All RBs except for AP will face top 15 defense for allowing most fantasy points to RB. While AP will face Bears defense. I plan to leave AP in the line up because he got almost 12 points (could have been more if it wasn't for one fumble) against Bears last game so I'm left with either S. Jackson (vs. Bills) or M. Leshoure (vs. Packers). Any suggestion?

Ive had the worst luck with tight ends. I drafted Owens and Hernandez. I picked up Olsen when Hernandez was hurt and constantly made the wrong choice between him and Owens. Now Hernandez is back so i dropped Owens and picked up Myers. Think im going with Hernandez this week. Spent high picks on him and Jones Drew. Ugggh. Luckily I got Griff late and he is keeping me in the money.

That was my original plan, I guess I will stick to it then.

[mooby]

Damnit. Seahawks put up 58 points and Sidney Rice only has 2 receptions for 35 yards and no touchdowns? Ugh.

[los panda]

lost the (first half of) my first playoff game, 78-99.

would have won had i started:
palmer over dalton
alexander over williams
bennett over myers

oh well, down by 21

The Seahawks D may have won me my game this week. I am up by 30 points with Andre Johnson left to play; my opponent has Schaub and Foster, so who knows what will happen.
