who to start?  (L1) - week 14

hey gang, made it into the playoffs in 2 of my 6 leagues.  not a real good percentage but if i win L1 it will more than make up for the other costs.   i actually managed to win last week with Lee Evans & his 42 pts on my bench!  and i missed a 3rd league playoffs by 7 pts in a tiebreaker!
 
i should have gone with your choice for my WR's last week Steg - {Evans (42), Edwards (30), Chambers(17pts)}   i won but would have had high score also!  Great call, Steg!
 
anyway, 1st rd of playoffs in (L1), going against a team i've beaten twice already this season but she does have a very good lineup except for her QB  
[Carr, Dorsey, LT2, Cadillac, Barlow, Duckett, Chad Johnson, Galloway, Key Johnson, Booker, Scobee, Longwell, CAR]
i know its tough for 1 team to beat another team 3 times in 1 season in the NFL but can it be done in Fantasy?  I'm sure it can but i still could use some advice once again.
 
(L1) scoring - longer TD's & FG's= more pts, bonus pts for rec/rushes and rec/rush yards.  minus for fumbles, int's, missed FG's/XP's
 
QB - need 1 to start
 
a. E Manning  @  PHI
b. Favre  vs  DET
c. McNair  vs  HOU
 
all actually seem like graet matchups but leaning towards McNair or Manning.  Philly has fallen and prob wont get up, Hou & Det just plain suck.  but Favre still scares me and Manning is even a little shaky but McNair did light it up against SF a couple weeks ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WR - need 3 to start  
 
a. Chambers  @  SD  (might be a good matchup if his QB has time to throw this week)
b. Evans  vs  NE  (might be a really good matchup)
c. Michael Clayton  @  CAR (still no catches)
d. Curtis  @  MIN  (lost behind Holt, Bruce & rookie QB)
 
e. Roby  vs  HOU  (WW) - [Williams & Jones out for year, Bennett, Calico & Roby are McNairs top 3 WR's and have good matchups at home vs HOU & SEA and at MIA] Best 3 week outlook for playoffs.
 
f. K Rob  vs  STL  (WW) - [starting to get some looks, has matchups vs STL, PIT & @ BAL] Only good matchup vs STL and maybe BAL.
 
g. Northcutt  @  CIN  (WW) - [Edwards out for year, Bryant & Northcutt are top 2 WR's now - matchups @ CIN & OAK and at home vs PIT] Only good matchup @ OAK.
 
thats all i have to choose from - lost TO to susp, and lost Edwards this week to injury (of course his 1st breakout game)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
K - need 1 to start
 
a. Bironas  vs  HOU
b. Elam  vs  BAL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
RB - Dunn vs  NO &  Jordan  @  NYJ  (no choice but good matchups)
DEF -  ATL  vs  NO  (easy choice, CHI has a tough game this week)
 
thanks for the advice!  KC.
 
OBFFL 2004 Champs - going for 2 in a row.  Favre, E Manning, McNair, Dunn, Jordan, Suggs, Gore, Barber, Henry, Chambers, Curtis, Evans, Clayton, Elam, Bironas, Freeney, ATL, CHI

QB's
1. I love Farve vs Detroit but you have to watch the weather right up till game time.
2. You need to hold your breath with Mcnair. The Colts beat him up pretty good. He winces if you blow on him. If Houston hits him a couple of times we will see Volek.
3. It makes Manning my clear choice.
 
WR's
1. Chambers may be your best play here. Yikes!
2. Evans would be great if Moulds is still on the field. There is talk of a suspension for Moulds this week. Can you say double team? Watch closely.
3. Clayton and Curtis....Nope!
4. Roby is ok if Mcnair stays upright.
5. Koren Rob should have a solid game this week. Get all over this one.
6. Who! Cleveland is starting the rookie qb. As if they arent bad enough already.
So.......K.rob, Chambers and Evans I guess?
 
K's
Because Baltimore is able to produce a bend but not break "D", I would play Elam. Be sure to check the weather before game time.
 
Extra,
I would be all over the Chicago D this week. Pittsburgh is playing poorly. Roslisberger is wearing a brace and is throwing picks like they are Christmas presents. He even said in the paper (like an idiot!) that he cant throw the ball more than 40 yards. Huh! Remember, Cinnci's "D" is horrible! 375 +yrds Passing is a mirage.

QB's:
 
I don't like Favre... versus anyone.  The Eagles have done nothing offensively, however, their defense has not gone to sleep.  Avoid Eli.  I like McNair and his match-up against Houston.  Take McNair.
 
WR's:
 
I agree with SK.  I would go with Evans, Chambers, and K. Robinson.  
 
K:
 
I would go with Bironas.  The TEN offense tends to struggle and Elam still has the calf problem.  I also think the BAL defense will break this week.  Denver has something to prove after last weeks performance.
 
I also agree with your asessment on Dunn and the Atlanta defense.

i was able to pick up K Rob off waivers so it looks like i'll go Chambers, Evans &  K Rob at WR this week.  
 
i was gonna get Brad Johnson to start at QB but someone else got him first.
 
so i still need some thoughts on QB, K & DEF.
 
anyone else out there?
