Won my first playoff game with 95 pts (so far) luckily my opponent had a low week at 92. Stoked though I'm the 6th seed (6-7) vs 3 (9-4) and he beat me regular season so it feels good.

.Hugo.Youre in playoffs i assume? Do you need to take a chance for a lot of points? Or just looking for a sure thing to do average?
Joique bell or alfred morris?
Yes I'm in playoffs. Playing to get into the championship. I want to pick them up even if I don't know what to do yet. I can drop witten, fleener is my TE. I don't think I need to take a chance to get a ton of points. But I want to obviously not leave any points on the table that I can easily pick up as an FA when I have a solid plan for the championship, should i get there.
I would start Bell. Morris seems to have fallen off, Bells is coming up. Make your decision on # of arries. Bells got alot more lately.

With Marshall going out for the season, I'm taking a few gambles. Landry is my WR2 and Hurns in my flex. Other options there are Wright, Sanu, Mathews, Martin, and Bernard. All I don't really like this week.

cornholioyeah i'm seeing him officially out now too
i think i'd rank matthews higher than both of those. i'd start matthews with martin/landry being a toss-up. if ppr i say landry, otherwise martin
And I can pick up Aiken and go for him.
So many options, such a tough decision. I don't wanna play Landry because Revis is covering him, saw some article about it. Hurns is such a gamble but can payoff big time. Aiken may be a safe play.
im down 20 with brees, ingram, forte and dan bailey to play. he has bennett and kenny stills. going to be very close. not sure how much defense is going to get played tomorrow night...
Missed playoffs by 2 points. Only 4 teams make it and there was a 3 way tie for 3rd but out of those 3 I was 3rd in points (making me 5th in the league). Was down by 9 points, took the lead over the kid by almost 30 points (so I was up by 21 or something). All the kid had was Jordie Nelson left and of course he's a pop off that game with I think 2 TD's and that huge fucking catch. Goddamn it sucks coming so close and to lose like that, then again that kid beat me twice in head to head so it was closer than it could have been. Oh well, officially saying bye bye to my $25 buy it. Now its down to fantasy hockey (and my team blows right now).
.5ppr, i'm not sure what to do at WR and flex spots. i'm set on bell, thomas, and ingram, just having a hard time with the last 2
jones makes me nervous- i'll have to wait until more reports come out later in the week (or sunday morning). if he doesn't play much or stays questionable until sunday morning idk if i can start him, otherwise he's a no-brainer. i'd consider putting douglas in if julio doesn't play.
i really want to play gordon in the last spot, but also don't want to be the idiot who lost the championship because johnny football is a joke.
benjamin will probably put up decent numbers (10-15)
lamar miller is an option too, consistent numbers but nothing massive.
i guess what i'm asking is for you guys to rank top 2 or 3 between:
jones/gordon/benjamin/douglas/miller

$600 riding on this week
To me Gordon is at the bottom. He is way to risky to trust in a championship game. Next is probably douglas depending on weather Jones is 100% or not. Then Benjamin, Miller, and Jones if he is 100%.
Jones at 100% is a start, I like Millers matchup against a terrible Vikings team. But like I said above, I wouldn't trust Gordon at all. With Manziel throwing it, to me he has no value. He may have a breakout game, but I just don't see it.
Ultimately, trust your gut man, its gotten you this far. I almost lost last week because I over thought everything. Go with what you trust, set it and forget it. Good luck!
If jones is active i think you have to play him, if not id play douglas. Gordon has a shitty qb throwing to him, but he also accounted for over half of manziels passing yards....

thanks gentlemen. it seems you are both higher on miller than i was so i will take that into consideration. i knew i was higher on gordon than i should be, so perhaps you have talked some sense into me because i wouldn't have placed him at the bottom of the group. i must still have a crush on him from last season- just hoping for that monster game that justifies keeping him stashed on the bench all season long.

Well i have gordon in playing for me in the championship... i just cant really trust anyone else though. Miller is a good bet to do decently against the viqueens, and benjamin is pretty consistent as well. Theyre just the safer play. But if you wanna take a chance for that big score, gordon is probably your guy
So this is who I got. In the championship and dont know what to do with RB2, WR2 and flex. Any suggestions?
Stewart, martin, gerhart, hurns and maybe Bernard. Picking betweek them.
i say stewart at rb2, keep landry at wr2, and flex is tough. i might go with an rb who is going to get most of the touches so martin/gerhart? although i think they both suck. i like the upside of matthews but he's could also put up a dud like last time i recommended him

If im gonna start gerhart id prolly run him as RB2 so I can still have the ability to use the flexibility of a flex spot on Sunday. I hate locking up a flex spot on Thursdays.
theBearJewFuck. I can't decide what to do with Gerhart. I need to either start or drop him. I hate thursday games because they lock a spot up.
Really it would be between Gerhart or Martin. HELP!
i know what i said earlier but i don't really like gerhart. as someone who drafted him and gave him a chance earlier in the season (and he sucked) i would have a hard time starting him in the championship.

I need to take a gamble. My opponent has a stellar team, which is why I'm leaning towards gerhart. Hes got huge upside playing against TEN.

thats a hard fuckin decision....i assume gb is gonna get way ahead of tb, basically eliminating the running game. gerhart is not gonna get a lot of yards because frankly, he sucks. you basically have to hope he gets a td

fair enough. i don't know that martin would be any better. i'd think the bigger upside or gamble play would be a receiver with the running back being a more stable option based on the philosophy of guaranteed touches.
do whatever you think is best :)
i sometimes flip a coin when trying to decide between two equal-ish players that i can't make my mind up on
