Alright, I'm in the finals :) and I like my matchup odds vs my opponent.

2 positions that I'm struggling over, need some advice.

RB:
1. Reggie Bush (he's starting)
2. McGahee or Beanie - I'm leaning McGahee, but am worried about hamstring.

Def:
Jets, KC, or Phillie.
Jets have stunk as of late, KC killed Oakland when they had QB transition, and Philly has been strong last 2 weeks and slaughtered Dallas earlier.

I would go McGahee just due to the favorable match up if his hamstring holds up.

Defense is pretty much a toss up, but I would go KC.

Thanks for the advice.

I am rolling with McGahee since he's practice fully all week.

I was going to go with KC earlier in the week, but I'm sticking with the Jets on defense because Manningham and
Ballard are out. I think Revis can handle Cruz and hopefully the Jets can slow down their running game.

I feel pretty good about most my matchups, except for the defense.

I'm just happy to have made it to the finals since I lost Fred Jackson and Forte. Thankfully I stocked up at RB at the right time by picking up McGahee and Reggie off waivers and traded for Wells.

I started out 7-1 and ended up 9-5 due to injuries.

Well shit, had a 38 point lead going into tonight and have kasay kicking tomorrow. He had 2 players left.... Rodgers and Jordy Nelson. They drop 56+ points tonight and now I need 19 points from my kicker to win.

I'm toast.

Yeah, I had Tony Romo as my QB for my league final. Such is life.

Keeper advice, please. We start 2 RBs, 2WRs, and 2 WR/RB Flex players. Here are my options along with the round (and overall pick) I'd give up if I were to keep them. I can keep up to 3 players--the first 2 are free, and the 3rd costs $5.

3 (31) Ahmad Bradshaw
5 (55) Vincent Jackson
6 (66) BenJarvus Green-Ellis
7 (79) Jonathan Stewart
9 (103) Greg Little
11 (127) Jerome Simpson
16 (178) Titus Young

My thoughts/questions:
-Titus Young with a 16th seems like a no-brainer.
-Little with a 9th makes more sense than Jackson with a 5th. Considering the Browns' WR corps, I see him getting a lot of looks from Weeden.
-Who, if anyone, should I keep at RB? Is Bradshaw worth a mid-3rd round pick, or would Green-Ellis or Stewart be a better value at the later rounds?

Any input is appreciated.

I would keep Bradshaw and G-E for sure. They are both #1 options for their teams. Stewart loses carries to Williams, Cam Newton, and I believe CAR added Mike Tolbert as well.

I didn't trust V. Jackson in San Diego, and I really don't trust him in Tampa. I'd let him go.

Also, you may want to double-check anything that I've said because I'm drinking and posting this from my phone.

Thanks. That makes sense. I think I'll keep Bradshaw and most likely Green-Ellis. My biggest toss-up at this point is between G-E and Little. For some reason I think Little will have a big year, but that's probably just the Browns-homer in me. He may still be there in the 9th round, anyway, so I can always take that chance.

:lol: In that case, make sure you have a decent buzz going on Sunday mornings when I have some last minute questions about who to start.

12 member league. PPC & PPR

QBs (start 1)- Tom Brady, Andy Dalton
RBs (start 2)- Jamaal Charles, Darren McFadden, Jonathan Stewart, Cedric Benson, Isaiah Pead
WRs (start 2)- Percy Harvin, Dwayne Bowe, Malcolm Floyd, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Rueben Randle
TEs (start 1)- Brandon Pettigrew, Kellen Winslow

Also start one flex player (can be RB, WR or TE).

Thoughts? (I had the #3 pick; snake draft)

Brady
McFadden & Stewart
Percy & Bowe - though Bowe might not be 100% committed with contract issues.

D pick is great. Tons of turnover points.

If I have to choose your Flex - it depends on a) the health of Charles
b) Palmer's connection with DHB

For first week's sake I say DHB over Charles. His injury just scares me.

Looks solid.
