    Wow barley made it in and have to play number one seed, so need to start the top players here are my options:  (keep in mind im in ppr)

    QB Kyle Orten vs JAC or Jason Campbell @ BAL or Shaun Hill vs NYJ
    NEED ONE  leaning Orten think this could be game he gets back on track but Hill looking tempting could put up great numbers on the Jets, thinking 49ers well be trailing most of the game.  Campbell not even thinking about vs BAL

    RB WR FLEX DeAngelo Williams vs TB or Maurice Jones-Drew @ CHI or Tim Hightower vs StL or Jamal Lewis @ TENN or Willis McGahee vs WAS or Wes Welker @ SEA Greg Jennings  vs HOU Donmenik Hixon vs PHI
    NEED 1RB 1WR 3FLEX for sure RB Williams for sure WR and 1 flex Welker and Jennings than leaning MJD remmber ppr and also leaning Hightower last time he blew up StL and after two straight losses by cards I'm thinking they try to get a run game going but hard to sit Hixon thinking he has good game maybe 6 catches and hard to sit Lewis knowing he will get 20+ carriers and maybe a catch or 2 with Anderson and Quinn out Dorsey going to dump pass to backs and TEs.

    DE Miami @ BUF or Jacksonville @ CHI
    NEED ONE thinking Miami a no brainer

    What do you think?  Looking like this
    QB Orten
    RB Williams
    TE Owen Daniles
    WR Jennings
    Flex Welker
    Flex Jones-Drew
    Flex Hightower
    DE Miami

    kind of a toss up on who you would sub, but i wouldnt play Hightower.  Arrington seems to be more of a goto man than hightower is these days. With SF winning and not giving Arizona the playoff berth, look for Warner and the passing attack to come out in full force

    From a statistical point Hill would look like a great play against the NY Jets #30 Pass D... Not sure what has happened to Orton really hasn't had a good week since #7... I would go with the hotter QB.
     
    I think I like everything else the way you have it.

    Hey Blaineg, nice to see you make the playoffs and there is no better way to start then by playing the top seed

    As a fellow Hill owner I do like his matchup vs the jet, as you said they will probably be down and he will need to pass the ball, Hill has put up 20 points in 3 of his last 4 so why not swing for the fence on this one

    Slaton showed that Jax can be run on at will practically untouched at that so I think Chicago goes back to basic and pounds the ball all day on Jax

    I am concerned with Hightower as once again AZ has lost faith in their rush game not to mention Arrington is part of the mix when they do run  Hixon might be  sneaky play but the WR situation is a clud in NY right now and you wouldnt want to shoot yourself in the foot (no pun intended)

    good luck and be sure to comment on my post in my thread

    Thanx as always homegrown, would you think that Jamal Lewis who cant even score from the 1 yard line would be a play in that last flex spot?  With Dorsey who took his last snap at the U? in there I see Lewis getting 22-25 touches... the problem is will he do anything with them.  I am in a ppr league so the good thing about Dorsey is he might be dumping passes early and often to backs and TEs.  But starting Lewis will also be a moral issue because I told myself NO MORE STARTING RUNNING BACKS WHO GET STUFFED ON THE ONE YARDLINE 3 PLAYS IN A ROW ON BACK TO BACK SUNDAYS

    sorry about that I'll come down

    Thanx as always homegrown, would you think that Jamal Lewis who cant even score from the 1 yard line would be a play in that last flex spot?  With Dorsey who took his last snap at the U? in there I see Lewis getting 22-25 touches... the problem is will he do anything with them.  I am in a ppr league so the good thing about Dorsey is he might be dumping passes early and often to backs and TEs.  But starting Lewis will also be a moral issue because I told myself NO MORE STARTING RUNNING BACKS WHO GET STUFFED ON THE ONE YARDLINE 3 PLAYS IN A ROW ON BACK TO BACK SUNDAYS
