Championship D: Currently have Arizona. Options: Cleveland @ Jets Dolphins @ Buff Jets vs Cle SD vs Oak Ravens vs NE Playing the guy with Seattle D. What's my best shot?

Bell, for the same reason as 2nd string. Think Packers/Steelers will be competitive throughout and keep Bell in the game.

The good news is all 3 RBs face soft rush D's. I think Morris is a no-brainer, just have to worry about goal-line vultures. The bigger question is if the Giants and Falcons can score enough points to keep Bush & Gore in the game. Bush is already nursing an injury, and Joique Bell is a decent backup. Giants just got shutout and are playing without Cruz, so that game might get out of hand early. Which means it could be Joique show in the 2nd half. Then there's Gore. 1 rush TD in his last 5 games and 1 100-yd game in his last 8 games. Only 20+ rush attempts once in his last 7 games. I'm thinking you roll with Morris and Bush. Good luck!

Meh, tough call. I'm starting Brown over Vereen, but mostly due to the lack of a better option. Since Hillis has a concussion, I think Andre Brown is in line to get more touches, including goal-line work. More touches = more upside. But I'm not thrilled with either option. Good luck!

Championship week and my starting D is Arizona @ Seattle. Hate their matchup. And I'm playing the guy who has Seattle D. Alternate choices: Miami @ Buff (no EJ Manuel, no Stevie Johnson, maybe no Fred Jax) Cleveland @ Jets (Geno terrible but Browns giving up 35 pts/game last 5 games. No Haden) Ravens vs NE (Ravens home, decent D and have something to play for. No Gronk) Chargers vs Oak (Chargers home and have something to play for) Jets vs Cleveland (Jets home, great run D, Cleveland weak on offense except Gordon) I'm leaning towards Dolphins or Browns. Or keep Arizona? Suggestions? Thanks!

Yeah, I'd prefer Lacy/Green too. Plus you're trading away 2 injury risks in Mathews and Bush.

Definitely Moore. McFadden's high game for receptions so far is 4 catches.

Steelers have only allowed 1 TD to a TE this year and give up tons of rushing yards. Tough to sit Gronk but Reed is probably safer play this week. You have 2 great options so you really can't lose no matter who you choose. Good luck.

Any other thoughts/comments? The guy's starting to get impatient and says he's working another trade for Reed so I need to make up my mind fast. I think I'm gonna do it but it's hard to ignore Jeffery's 3 100-yards games the past 4 weeks and he has a sweeeet schedule.

Go with RG3 at home. Miami has pretty good D at home, plus Thursday night games have been traditionally low-scoring. Good luck.

One last thing is that I'm not required to start 2 WRs; I can start 3 RB/1WR (no flex). So if I made the trade I could roll with Charles/Moreno/Woodhead/Dez and have Reed as my TE. Do you think that's a better lineup than Charles/Moreno/Dez/Alshon and Tim Wright?

You don't need a WR so no. Locker has sweet matchups the rest of the way so you could do worse. However, I do think the Chiefs D (and I own them) has been the beneficiary of facing crappy QBs and are slightly overrated. Might be a good time to sell high since they face Peyton twice in the next few weeks. Maybe Chiefs D for a QB like Rivers?

Woodhead gets the most receptions for SD, so I'd rule Mathews out. Between FJax and Reed, I'd probably go Reed since he catches passes and FJax gets mostly handoffs. Good luck.

Based on the options you presented, Tolbert is the best one. And T-Rich will be decent this week. And Lynch's backup is Turbin. Richardson got benched for a reason.

It's hard to answer this question without knowing your other QBs and RBs. Manning can win you a game all by himself. I've got Peyton in 2 leagues and I sleep soundly every Sat nite knowing I've got 30 points waiting for me Sunday. He's a warm cozy blanket and a cup of Irish coffee.
