Holy Sh*t - I'm in the playoffs!!

In a small 8-man league, but somehow at 6-7 I'm in 4th place.
I've actually got more points than the guy I'm playing who is 11-2, and I gave him one of those losses earlier.

Wanted to get this out there early to see if any help could come my way:

Here's my projected starters:
QB - Matt Ryan
RB - DeAngelo Williams
RB - Warrick Dunn
RB/WR - Thomas Jones
WR - Roddy White
WR - Brandon Marshall
TE - Antonio Gates
D/ST - Tampa Bay
K - Jay Feely

My bench:
WR - Andre Johnson
WR - Kevin Curtis
QB - Kyle Orton
QB - Jeff Garcia
RB - Ricky Williams
RB - Pierre Thomas
D/ST - Carolina

Again, I'm on the fence about starting 3WRs or 3RBs. Marshall hasn't done much lately, but Denver plays KC at home. Johnson just played last night and he'll be on the road in GB. Dunn is a huge question mark for me...

I'm also 2nd in line for waivers, and there are some pretty good guys there:
Favre, Sammy Morris, Colts D (they got Cincy and Detroit for the next 2 games @ home)...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Colts D would be a nice pickup (drop Carolina)

Favre's matchup this week I like better than Ryan's. Just my opinion.

I actually like Ryan, not that I dont like Favre. But Ryan should absolutely light up the Saints and indoors. But you have to start Johnson. Id start him over Dunn. Dunn tough matchup at Car. Either D is a toss up playing against each other. TB been great this year. Id also try to find a better kicker. Maybe there's one out there since your in a small league.

Thanks guys - good input.

Top kickers out there are look like Carney, Longwell, Bryant, Akers -- hell, I had Carney (think he's the #1 kicker - may have to get him back). Feely has actually done really well for me though, and Jets are at SF... hard to gauge kickers though.

Yeah, I guess I really do need to go with Johnson over Dunn; esp since it looks like Cadillac may be taking some carries now.

And Bob Id grab Longwell. I did in 1 league where this upcoming week is my last week of Reg season and I need a win. Hes having good year and against the hapless Lions they will run all over them. He should be a safe play.
