And yet another playoff thread...why not?

Okay...I got the #1 seed in my league, even though, on the year, I was 8th in our 12 man league in scoring...so I have been lucky. I just want to extend that luck another two weeks!

 

Need to pick a defense. Either Houston (@INDIANAPOLIS) or Miami (@NEW ENGLAND)

 

My biggest issue is at running back. I need to start two this week. I am, obviously, going with LeSean McCoy (though he has been a dud a lot of weeks), but I am having a tough time picking my second RB...the list of mediocre candidates, pick one:

 

Reggie Bush (vs Minnesota)- did not practice, probably a game time decision

Bryce Brown (vs Green Bay)- something tells me the Bills don't run a lot this Sunday, but BB is a decent receiver, no?

Travares Cadet (@CHICAGO)- Monday Night...have carried this kid most of the season, just waiting for something

Charles Sims (@CAROLINA)- hard to get a gauge on the TB running attack...

 

 

 

My line-up as it stands now:

 

QB: Jay Cutler

RB: LeSean McCoy

RB: ? (proababy Bush, Cadet if Bush can't go)

WR: Jordy Nelson

WR: Jeremy Maclin

FLEX: DeAndre Hopkins

TE: Coby Fleener

PK: Adam Vinateri

DEF: Houston (@INDIANAPOLIS)

Bush did practice today. He's not a good choice, but I think is the best of that sad lot. After that Sims? There has to be someone better. . . .

 

I kind of have the same reaction to the defenses. I'd rather play Tennessee than either of those two. I would play Miami over Houston. Miami beat NE week 1 and sacked Brady 4 times.

Thanks for your input KD. I dumped the Texans Defense and picked up the Ravens. I will play them against Jacksonville. Ravens secondary is bad, but I have my fingers crossed that the Jags won't be up for the game, and the Ravens, at home, should play with a little inspiration. Not much I can do about the RB situation, however...I just got my fingers crossed that lady luck smiles on me two more times.

Detroit keeps saying they plan to have Bush play a big role, so he's likely to get a chance at least, though I don't know if he's really healthy. I drafted him in the 3rd round this year, which hurt. Next year I'd still take him, but in the lean later rounds, if he's still available.

 

The Ravens are a great play, I think. I would start them over the Chiefs, who I'm likely to start. I'm also grabbing Cleveland for next week against the Panthers if I'm still playing.

I would start Indy's D. Ive picked them up on a couple teams. Your rb's are real bad like you need me to say that. I think Cadet because he's playing a team that has basically checked out.
