Championship time -- let's do it!

First, thanks for helping me get here guys.

QB is Kurt Warner, kicker is Gostkowski, defense is Baltimore and tight end is Carlson.

Real easy here, just pick what you'd use as a starting lineup. 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 flex (WR/RB)

Anquan Boldin @ Patriots
Steve Smith @ Giants
Reggie Wayne @ Jaguars
Braylon Edwards vs Bengals

Marshawn Lynch @ Broncos
Brandon Jacobs vs Panthers
Steven Jackson vs 49ers
Pierre Thomas @ Lions

Call me crazy, but I'm leaning toward benching Boldin or Wayne in favor of Edwards and starting Steve Smith. Then leaning Lynch, Jackson, Thomas.

Team I'm playing:

QB - Drew Brees (@ Det)
RB1 - Adrian Peterson (vs Atl)
RB2 - LenDale White (vs Pit)
WR1 - Wes Welker (vs Ari)
WR2 - Jerricho Cotchery (@ Sea)
TE - Dallas Clark (@ Jac)
Flex - Marion Barber (vs Bal) or Domenik Hixon (vs Car) if Barber can't play.
Kicker - Robbie Gould (vs GB)
Defense - Jacksonville (vs Ind)

Really only about 3 players to honestly worry about, thanks guys.

yeah i'm thinking about reggie wayne, he's been a disappointment this season most of the time

i'm forgetting dorsey is QB for cleveland so probably a wasted spot to start braylon in actuality.

Boldin (flex)
Smith
Wayne
Thomas
Jackson

Jacobs probably won't play the whole game and Lynch will be lucky to bust 70 yards against Denver. They'll be run stopping all game.

Boldin - Warner looks for him a lot (probably too much) and especially by the goal line....

Smith - absolute stud.....those two RB's are benefitting from him and vice versa....

Jackson - gets too many touches to sit.....he can score from the pass game and on the ground....

Thomas - he should light the Lions up for 150+ and a score or two....


And as far as your last guy goes, either Lynch or Wayne....Check ML's health...If he's ok (obviously you have to find out before tonight), start him.....If not, Wayne....

Good luck!!

well i ****ing got held up at work and couldnt get home in time to do anything with my lineup as far as taking reggie wayne out, so he's in

now it's a toss up for me between steve smith, marshawn lynch and pierre thomas to fill in 2 spots.

can't bench boldin, can't bench jackson, definitely can't bench wayne now which sucks because i kind of wanted to.

basically between smith, lynch, thomas, jacobs to fill a RB and flex spot.

i really have no idea what to do
