Playoffs round 1 start/sit

[westcoastO]

I crashed and burned my way into the playoffs. Started 4-0, finished 6-6. Yes, we start a week earlier than most, I'm aware. There's a reason though

Anyway, of course I play guy who led entire league in points scored for the season and has won 7 in a row

QB: Palmer vs Lions or Cutler vs Rams

--Seems like a win/win but it NEVER is with these guys. One almost ALWAYS blows the other one out and I never make the right call and I need it this week. Could be make or break decision for me

RB1: MJD vs Texans
RB2: Steve Slaton @ Jaguars or Chris Brown @ Jaguars

--makes me sick that I even have to ask this question. Other options at this point are worthless, Julius Jones and Justin Fargas. who out of these guys gets me more? Again, huge decision here.

for WR: who do i bench? Boldin vs Vikings, Marshall @ Chiefs, Smith (NYG) vs Cowboys or Maclin @ Falcons

--I honestly lean toward benching Boldin believe it or not. Warner not 100%, Vikings defense is the real deal and Fitz has been getting the bulk of the TDs not Boldin. It's the playoffs though and I can't see benching a guy I drafted to be a WR1/WR2 type guy gets benched here.

Insight fellas, insight. I got some decent matchups compared to his so I gotta use em right. Thanks

Palmer, Slaton

Bench Maclin

[Big Pimpin]

agree unless Djax doesnt go

[ghoopin]

I have Cutler and he is soooooooooooo due to have a good game. Have to believe after facing Minnesota last week, he is gonna feel like the speed of the game is slowed down for him against the hapless Rams and he is productive.

Think you have to play Slayton if it is PPR and he gives you the best shot at a home run.

[westcoastO]

i havent decided anything other than i'm definitely starting slaton

maclin looking more and more like a must-start i just don't know who to bench

QB still a coin flip. someone help sway me. fantasy football becoming a real chore

[spliff]

Djax looks like a no go, Maclin will be tough to leave on the bench. I vote Palmer at QB.

[westcoastO]

well desean is saying he's probably gonna sit. falcons secondary has been shit all year. eli manning isn't 100%, so do i bench steve smith and start maclin?

[dhunter]

bench smith

i have a feeling cutler has a good game

[Bisket]

have a feeling you're done no matter what you do

[1st And Beer]

I would start Cutler and slaton and bench WR Smith. Palmer hasnt done crap latley and i like slaton because he will get most of the carries and Eli is toast you cant trust him so i bench smith he hasnt done anything since they started out 5-0.

[westcoastO]

getting real nervous now about the QB decision

smith has been benched for maclin

1 decision left to make. you will see the biggest CM 180 of all time if i start cutler and he is outscored by palmer as my loyalties will be cut off for approximately 1 year from him.

[dhunter]

you can become a charger fan if cutler loses playoffs for you. there's still room on the bandwagon

[westcoastO]

i will become a bigger bulls and kobe bryant fan to make up the lost fanship, thats all

[spliff]

you have watched Cutler all year. Do you really feel comfortable starting him in even the best situation?

[westcoastO]

not exactly, but he needs a big game sunday more than I need to get the **** out of work and have a drink right now.

i don't know, this sucks. this is when fantasy isn't fun.
