We've got 2 WR, 1 RB, and 1 RB/WR slot...not sure who I'd take for that second WR slot. I'm thinking about rolling with PT as my RB/WR slot and going with Breaston vs Detroit...any thoughts on playing Walker over Breaston. I like the QB-WR tandems, especially against Detroit.

QB - Warner
RB1 - CJ
RB2 - Pierre Thomas (vs Dal)
WR1-VJAX (vs Cin)
WR2-Breaston (vs DET)

WR3 - Mike Sims Walker (vs. Ind)
WR4 - Kevin Walter (vs. StL)

Other league I'm in...who'd you roll with for QB...Flacco vs. Chicago or Henne vs. Tennessee...Henne has played much better lately and the injuries seem to be getting to Flacco.

Alright I am looking for some last minute help, this week's game start tomorrow and I am at a loss.

I have to start 2 RB out of Adrian Peterson, Cedric Benson, Joseph Addai, Quentin Ganther, and Arian Foster. Right now I have the obvious choices penciled in, Peterson and Benson. Am I crazy to be considering the other 3 in place of Benson?

At WR, I have to start 3 of Brandon Marshall, Antonio Bryant, Mike Sims-Walker, Michael Crabtree, and Kenny Britt. I am going with Marshall for sure, but am pretty up in the air on the other 2. Help!

After going 6 - 7 during the regular season I have managed to make the finals in my 12 team league. I am guaranteed $250 with a chance at $370.

I'm in the finals in my 6 team league, winner gets $300. It's a good week to have Brees at home against the Bucs, Boldin and Fitzgerald against the Rams, and Chris Johnson against the Chargers.

Myself and Machiavelli will battle it out for third place in the CP B league, after finishing 1 & 2 in the regular season standings. The 5th and 6th place teams are playing the championship game. Bizarre season to say the least.

For those in the CP leagues, how are we working the relegations in the leagues? B's top 3 go up to A, and A's bottom 3 go down to B?

You sir, are correct. I'm getting relegated to the B league, so Prot will become the new commish of that one.

[Montana Moe]

I was really on a roll in the B league until it really counted last week.

Thought I was movin' on up!

[Pastiche]

I got torched by Peyton, Vincent Jackson, Miles Austin and Todd Heap. Frack!

Meanwhile my studs really let me down: Colston, Welker, Schaub, CJ all had mediocre weeks.

And that was the tale of the tape. Goodbye fantasy football. I wont be playing that again.

Haha, yeah no kidding!

I had a terrible week (like 84 points), after getting 140 the previous week in the quarterfinal byes.

In hindsight if I had started Roethlisberger instead of Brees I would have made it to the finals. Oh well....you lose and win with your big guns!

Awww. What about those of us in the C league?

[zukes]

I was in 3 pools this year, won 2 and came in 3rd in the other, winning money in all 3.

The biggest money pool came down to that Cutler OT pass, that put me 0.72 points ahead for the win and probably raised my winnings about $400!

[zukes]

oops, just checked and I actually came in 4th in the other pool and therefore only won money in 2 pools. Strangely enough it was the Cutler OT TD pass that screwed me there, but I only lost my $25 entry fee as that is all 3rd place got in that pool.

[burn_baby_burn]

My team crapped the bed in the finals so I ended up 2nd with $250. Can't complain, I beat the #2 and #3 seeds to advance to the finals.

Wrong. Everyone knows that third prize is you're fired.

Whew, glad I ended up in 4th.

BTW, what brand were the steak knives?

[transplant99]

So i am in 2 different finals as of last week and today is the decider. Of course in the last week of the season most of the players on teams who have clinched will start to rest players, as is evidenced by a guy like Brees not playing at all today. I had D'angelo williams and he is out.

I have dropped a couple good players who wont play much or at all and have reached for Arian foster from Houston and Fred Taylor of New England in their places...so i have to start 2 of these 4

Foster, Taylor, Jackson of Buffalo and Westbrook.

Any thoughts?

Westbrook and Foster. Taylor could have a big game, but it's his first one back and there's always a risk there.

[transplant99]

yeah...my only thought here is that both Maroney and Faulk are inactive...so that SHOULD mean more touches for Taylor...im on the fence.

[transplant99]

Oh and just for you Dis...i picked up Gaffney and am starting him.

Not a bad move. Orton seems to like him. He drops a few too many for my taste, but he's a good wideout. I think Stokely will benefit the most from the situation today. I think the Broncos will try to go deep early too.

Didn't know that.Doesn't sound like the Pats are too worried about Taylor being ready then.
