Alright the outcome of this game determines whether I win any money or not, so I've decided to get some help for this week.
I feel like my team is definitely better, but the combo of the Bengals D and Ben/DeAngelo has me a little worried about my point ceiling being a lot lower than usual. The options I've been considering are starting Tyrod instead since there's a chance he'll have a very good game or picking up one of the horrible waiver D's.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated
EDIT: This is a PPR league btw

I got a feeling that the CIN/PIT will be a high scoring game on both sides.
I would keep Big Ben at start and pickup another D.
Lions vs STL, Buf vs PHI (I doubt PHI will repeat what they did against NE), SF vs CLE are good matchups.
I'd probably keep Allen.
We KNOW he's getting pretty much all the work.
We don't know the situation in NO yet.
PPR or standard?

That feel when you lose Charles and Ingram for the season. Glad I traded for DeAngelo before the deadline!

A league that allows trades this deep into the season? Especially one with as favorable a schedule as Stewart? That's all sorts of shenanigans.
I have an embarrassment of riches in my 10-team ESPN PPR league despite the fact that I lost Charles early on and have been largely streaming QBs due to Luck's kidney and all-around poor play. Ranked #1 overall with a bye this week.
Have the Muscle Hamster and Rawls as my locked-in starting tandem at RB.
Backed up by West/Ware and Hillman. Scooped up Dion Lewis as a cheap keeper option for next year.
At receiver, I have the 1-2 dynamo connection of the red hot Allen Robinson alongside Jeffery.
Cooks and Baldwin are available for flex duties as needed. Scooped up Kelvin Benjamin for the same reasons as Lewis.
My rock solid TE starter is Greg Olsen.
My QB streamer of choice as of right now is Matthew Stafford. His week 15 opponent... the farce that is the New Orleans Saints defense.
Will trot out the Bucs D against Case Keenum and the Rams next week. Feeling pretty confident.
This is my 7th attempt to win this league. Finished 2nd in 2013 and have a trio of 3rd place finishes to my name.

Johnson IMO. He is clear everydown back, did well last week in the role. Ware is on the wrong side of a committee for carries, and is less likely to get receptions than West.

Johnson by a mile

Cheers gents!
And saying that Johnson got snagged by my opponent. Moving on.
Should I go Darren Mcfadden DAL or TJ Yeldon JAGS?

Yeah that happened to me too (and my QB was Luck)... Luckily I'm 2nd place due to picking up some of the good RB pickups (Rawls, Williams, Allen, Ivory) and Dalton

Wait what? D. Johnson was hanging out on the waiver wire all that time? Are you guys streaming RBs? Reading about other people's leagues always confounds me.

If anyone owns any Denver RBs make sure you monitor their practice reps on Friday. Juwan Thompson is said to be starting if neither one can have a full day Friday.

As a Hillman owner (playing RB2 this week) I decided to drop Tim Hightower for Thompson just to cover my ass.

So here's likely my final dilemna for the season unless I win:
Brady @ Houston
or
Wilson @ Baltimore
It's kind of crazy that I'm even considering Wilson because Brady has been my best player all season, but Wilson is hot and Brady has no one to throw to (almost).
Who would you pick?

i agree, not even CIN D is stopping PIT right now, id drop Witten and pickup DET defense, St Louis has the slimmest chance of doing anything on O and their QBs are interception machines which should get you some extra points

unfortunately wasting these awesome points on my bye week, but I hope you first rounders are doing well!

It's the whole season on this flex choice: Amendola, DJAX, Dez Bryant or Darren McFadden. I'm hoping Brady has an FU game.

Eff you John Brown you a real jerk.

What frustrated me was that they took him out for the goal line carries, and the Cardinals went backwards!
Does he normally get taken out at the goalline for those who regularly watch the Cards?

John Brown raking it in for me.
No, earlier in the season he was THE goal line back. He may have been tired or a bit banged up after his almost TD.
I played all my Cards except for John Brown. I have 3 WR spots and I went Evans over JB. The other too are Hopkins and A. Brown
DST, K, QB, RB
Catanzaro has been so consistent and doesn't have a score lower than 6 all year in standard.
I believe he got a bit banged up after the TD attempt.

At least C.J. Anderson is out of the picture. Can't imagine Juwan Thompson will do much as a replacement unless Hillman's health turns south.
I've got some fun dilemmas in my own league matchup this week. Had to bump Landry down to my 1st flex spot as I'm not thrilled with the downgrade in the Fins' 2nd practice this week. I'm not a fan of questionable Monday night starts after no-shows the previous week (whether it was due to "game plan" or not).
Will get a better vibe after practice tomorrow and correspondent intel on Sunday morning. Hoping Gronk can come around on Sunday night in which case I can start him instead (benching Seferian-Jenkins or Ware to roll the dice on Gronk isn't an option).

Had to drop Chandler since I couldn't take the gamble and wait to see if Gronk is playing or not because Travis Benjamin was nicely wrapped with a Christmas bow waiting for me on the waiver wire. I am playing ASJ this week at TE.

That is honestly not a bad idea (without looking up who each one plays). Matt Ryan has been terrible recently.

Mcfadden Dal or Chris Ivory Jets? PPR League.
After those 2 fumbles against Washington a little worried playing Mcfadden. But the cowboys passing game is shit so they would likely run it more.

Gurley and Ivory and it's not even close. I have to decide between Lacy and Starks in a half ppr and it's driving me crazy. Neither are reliable.

Accidentally started Diggs on Thursday. Oops.

That's the reaction anyone that's started Diggs over the past 5 weeks has had.
He's the new Cordarrelle Patterson.

Well, he was on my bench, and I swapped him in for Steve Johnson at the beginning of the week because of his injury. Didn't even occur to me that the Vikings were playing on Thursday.

Feel your pain with respect to reliability. My RB's going into the playoffs were CJ Anderson, Melvin Gordon, Duke Johnson, and whatever flavor of the week I could snag from the waiver wire. Made it to the playoffs, but will probably get eliminated this week, first round. At any rate, dropped Gordon and Johnson and picked up Sims and Abdullah. Also picked up Hightower and gonna pray for a miracle since I had to bench Anderson due to his injury.

Gronk was on the plane to Houston. Ugh, this sucks since it's the Sunday night game but I'm just gonna have to assume he doesn't play and start Reed instead.

I smell a 3 touchdown game coming for Gronk tomorrow night.
