    Won my first playoff game. Hoping I can keep it up. Sucks elligton will be out rest of year. That was a hit to my backs. Any advice on banking on Manziel or hoping Kyle orton can keep playing average? Neither are the ideal choice but RG3 was a bust

    Being that youre in the playoffs you gotta go Orton I think. Manziel is a question mark, playoffs not the place to be taking chances. Who else is available?

    Anyone ever play of myfantasyleague or fanstarleague? Im moving our league to one of those next season. Tired of Yahoo and I dont like ESPN. Both of those both seem awesome but never been on either. Either of them looks like a huge upgrade but just wondering which one anyone prefers.

    It is a very deep league so there is almost no one available. Shaun Hill, Colt McCoy only two other options(if that) lol. None of them are the QB i want in a playoff game but im worried about Orton vs. GB. Manziel has a bit more of a favorable matchup. Not sure what decision to make but I think ill go with Manziel. Im surprised ive made it this far with how my team literally crumbled. AP, RG3, Ellington and now Andre Johnson out today. All or nothing today. We will see how things go.

    Feel bad for the Rodgers/Manning owners. They crapped out on there owners at the worst time possible

    These 1 year leagues aren't enough for me anymore. Thinking about starting a serious dynasty league.

    This year is my best fantasy year ever. I am in the final of all 3 of my leagues. OBJ carrying 2/3 teams. Will be winning somewhere between $582 - $1570 off my $200 worth of entry fees.

    12-team, non PPR, 2 RB, 3 WR, no flex:
    Drew Brees
    Arian Foster
    Lamar Miller/Joique Bell (haven't decided yet. Thoughts?)
    TY Hilton (Edelman if he can't go)
    Dez Bryant
    Odell Beckham Jr.
    Greg Olsen
    Justin Tucker
    Rams D (.vs. NYG)

    12-team, PPR (2/2+flex). RB been lacking all year:
    Andrew Luck
    Dan Herron
    Reggie Bush/Joseph Randle/Charles Sims/Knile Davis/Carlos Hyde (I have virtually every handcuff worth owning and Murray/Charles/Gore are all banged up so I'm hoping for one inactive)
    Antonio Brown
    Odell Beckham Jr.
    Rowdy White
    Jordan Reed
    Greg Zuerlein
    NYG (vs STL)

    10 team, non PPR, 2 QB, 2RB, 3 WR, no flex):
    Andrew Luck
    Jay Cutler
    Leveon Bell
    Jamaal Charles
    Jordy Nelson
    Dez Bryant
    Emmanuel Sanders
    Martellus Bennett
    Dan Bailey
    HOU (.vs. BAL)

    Go with Rivers and don't bet your fantasy league on RG3!!

    Thanks @Heisenberg. Got
    Lucky with a few picks. First league I had Hilton and joique as keepers. Foster having a good year and picking OBJ off waivers was huge. Second league I snuck into the playoffs in the last spot off a tiebreaker and luckily made it through the past two weeks. Third league was probably the best drafted team I've ever had. Virtually no turnover from draft to now except Bennett was a waiver pickup at TE

    Yup go with Rivers. Defense has been decimated by injuries. RG3 sucks

    Early reports are that he plays a full workload. Practiced today apparently.. I was hoping he'd be out and I could play Randle but nobody I play has Murray so it doesn't affect me too much.

    Yeah, I just read that. Thank God, I definitely need him.

    This is my team going into the Championship:

    Starters
    QB Matt Ryan
    WR Randall Cobb
    WR DeAndre Hopkins
    WR Josh Gordon
    RB DeMarco Murray
    RB Matt Forte
    TE Coby Fleener
    FLEX CJ Anderson
    K Cody Parkey
    DEF Buffalo Bills

    Bench:

    WR Harry Douglas
    WR Jarvis Landry
    WR Kenny Stills
    TE Mychael Rivera
    RB Jonas Gray
    RB Jonathon Stewart
    RB Joseph Randle

    So, yeah, 3 positions I'm worried about.

    1. Josh Gordon because of Manziel. I really don't trust him, even though he's got big play abilities... I'm thinking of replacing him with either Stills or Landry for a solid few points, but Douglas has had some big games (but Julio Jones is supposed to return...)

    2. Coby Fleener because Dwayne Allen has returned and is taking his targets away, and Mychael Rivera gets a ton of targets in garbage time, and I expect the Raiders to get smashed by the Bills....

    3. DeMarco Murray, but I'm sure he'll play, so I'm not as concerned. I think I'll go with Randle or Jonas Gray if he sits.

    I guess the pain is pretty tolerable and he cant do further damage. My guess is dallas sits him down when they need the back to pass block

    @Fitz I'd be a little worried about Hopkins with Yates/Keenum in the back too. If Julio sits again, then Harry is a no-brainer in place of him or Gordon like you said. If it's PPR, Landry is worth some value.

    Not PPR sadly...

    I was thinking of sitting Hopkins, but I promised myself I'd stick with him, because he goes off out of nowhere lol.

    Maybe I'll go Cobb, Douglas and Landry. Landry is a sure 6 points, and Julio looks to be out, so maybe I'll play Douglas.

    Forte is probably going to have a s-----y game too, I'm gonna hope Ryan, Murray, CJ, Cobb, Bills and Parkey have great games.

    I think I'm gonna start Kenny Stills over DeAndre Hopkins as my WR3 this week. With Andre Johnson back and Case Keenum starting at QB, I think I'd rather take my chances with the guy Drew Brees is throwing to.

    Rest of my lineup (10-team/2QB/PPR/$100 buy-in):

    Andrew Luck QB
    Mark Sanchez QB
    Antonio Brown WR
    Emmanuel Sanders WR
    Kenny Stills WR
    Matt Forte RB
    Le'Veon Bell RB
    Travis Kelce TE
    Joique Bell FLEX
    Steven Haushka K
    Patriots DST

    Bench:
    DeAndre Hopkins WR
    Jordan Matthews WR
    Shane Vereen RB
    Daniel Herron RB
    Kerwynn Williams RB
    Ravens DST

    Only other question mark for me is if I should go with New England or Baltimore in the DST spot, both have great matchups. Good luck to anyone else in the finals this week.

    Patriots defense, easily. Facing the Jets? Should be a dominating performance tbh.

    I'm probably gonna start Stills over Hopkins too, so yeah...

    Yeah I think the Patriots D should be good for a solid 10 points there. I'll be happy with that. I'm kinda worried Forte is gonna be terrible this week, but I obviously can't bench him. Hopefully the rest of our teams make up for it if Forte has a bad week.
