My only (possible) suggestion,... I might consider going with Moulds over R. Smith or Branch.  I think Rod is the guy you should pull.  With the revolving-door approach to running backs of Shanahan's and Jake's having become more of a game manager than a gun slinger, I, and I am saying this as a Broncomaniac, do not think there is any single player,... bachelor that is, that would like to style you, Janet, one of our Double G's, Gorgeous Gridironettes, with some rock-solid fantasy action here Week 17 than good old Rod,... but, seriously, on the other hand, I also do not think there is any single player, any one player that is, that means more to the Broncos offense than Rod Smith.  He is what makes their whole passing game click.  As such, I expect Shanahan to give him little PT in this week's meaningless game, preserving him for their playoff run.  I think this is way more the case than it is for Branch and the Patriots, so I would play Moulds over Smith.
 
Good luck! And, finally, please consider giving just a little back to help keep the site FREE... from both membership fees and an annoying deluge of ads... Click the link below:

tough one, but I have to agree wth Steg on the moulds move.  i don't like to see Moulds on the bench with Holcomb starting.  the two are totally clicking.
 
do you have a shot?   of course!   boomer accent:that's why they play the games!
 
but you're definitely the underdog.  edge will play little, and Steve Smith could cancel out 2 of your WRs easy.  I think  you'll need a BIG day from Lewis, and a BIGGER day from your QB.
 
Who is your QB BTW?   See 2 are bolded.   I'm assuming you're going with Brady?  Check the weather.  if there's wind, I wouldn't be afraid to go with Big Ben vs. a terrible Lions team.
 
Good luck!

Hi,
 
Thanks for your info.  In my league we start two qb's (one of which is a flex position), 2 rb's, 3 wr's, 1 pk, and 1 def.  That is the typical line up.
 
I am trying to pick up Dominick Rhodes right now as we speak and IF I get him I would start Rhodes and Lewis.  What do you think about that?  
 
Moulds over Rod Smith?  Hmmmm interesting.
 
The way I listed our line up is who is actively playing for us this week.

i like moulds this week....he has been steady with nearly 100 yds with holcomb at qb. the rbs are a bit more dicey.  
 
it may be a toss up between james and rhodes if you are able to make the pickup.
 
good luck!
