Got everything I wanted heading into tonight's game.
Big Ben active.
Patrick Willis inactive.
Now I just need the 49ers to have paid attention to what Antonio Brown did to the Browns when he was left with single coverage last week.
Still not liking my chances but who knows? I stand by what I said earlier. It will be an absolute travesty of fantasy justice for FPL to lose to me this week.

Welker was definitely fluky and something you can't count on.
ADP and Nelson are situations that may continue. Peterson isn't 100% and Jordy may continue to have trouble getting open facing double coverage with Jennings out.

nelson's issue isn't necessarily double coverage. their line is fucking demolished.
AP's 10 carries could've been more a product of being down with no reason to risk injuring him further...he should be able to have a good day against washington if they don't let grossman go all brees on them and shit

It's even funnier then it should be when it's eventually re-edited.
Need some advise here for my $$$ league championship game
Need to a RB, Flex, and 2 WR sots with
B Wells vs Bengals
A Bradshaw vs Jets
L Robinson vs Eagles
R White vs Saints
H Nicks vs Jets
Spiller vs Broncos (can be RB or WR)
Right now I have
RB - Wells
Flex - Spiller
WR - White
WR - Nicks
The only player I am worried about is Nicks because Revis might be on him. I could bench him for Robinson but his looks have gone way down since Miles has come back. I could also put Spiller in his spot and put Bradshaw in the flex.
Also Witten or Hernandez?

spiller, nicks, white, robinson
i just can't trust beanie wells this season. he's consistently inconsistent at the most inopportune times. he's only had over 70 yards once in the past 7 games and altho he gets into the end zone i'm not sure you can't do better with spiller's receiving and bulk of carries as well.
white is obviously a start altho julio jones has his best games on the road; they should be playing catch-up or stuck in a shoot-out most of the day. really bodes well for both roddy and julio.
nicks...bit of a question mark, sure. both tight ends are out tho, so that could mean more looks everywhere. giants are on record saying they wont' shy away from throwing at revis...and i believe that's the best approach. i don't think you can afford to sit him just knowing how explosive he CAN be and has proven to be in the past.
as for robinson: of the 2 games that all 3 dallas receivers have been healthy and playing...he's scored in both. he should draw the slot mismatch against rogers-cromartie and flourish...i honestly think he's a no-brainer.
witten or hernandez? UHHHHHHH lol probably hernandez? he played well last week but he also had a better game than gronkowski in the first game of the season against miami...10-103-1td. philly could opt to make sure witten DOESN'T help the cowboys move the chains(another bit of good news for robinson) by dedicating a safety to covering him.
good luck!

CJ2k hasn't practiced this week(remember, games are on saturday so short practice week) so i'm not sure how well that bodes for him even playing.
cases for each:
Mcgahee: plays against a team that's allowed 3 straight 100 yard rushers. they said his injury is basically nothing and that he'll be good to go. i'm starting him in 4 separate fanduel contests this week.
Spiller: denver's defense is statistically good...but, they're really good at getting after the passer and can be gutted up the middle by quicker running backs on draw plays. if he wants to make a case to be the feature back next year he's going to need to continue to do what he's done the last 2 games. he's a really good receiver(so much so they lined him at wr this year) so if you're in a PPR that's especially good.
Helu: minny D absolutely SUCKS. if you want to run against them and have a decent running back then they're not gonna stop you. the only issue here is helu was dealing with a few dings and nicks last week(royster had 10 carries and young got the touchdown) and he's a shanahan running back...i'm soooooooo against shanahan running backs but as long as he's getting the bulk of the carries it should be fine. shanahan has a habit of changing rb's on a whim(torain randomly getting the bulk of carries after not registering a carry earlier in the year).
either way, you have 3 really good options to start but i wouldn't rely on cj2k or bradshaw to get it done this week. cj2k is too inconsistent and the jets run d is really good IN new york...not so much on the road. my suggestion is to monitor helu and mcgahee news and if they're both good to go just take your choice of the 3. i don't really think you can go wrong

do it! if you have an interest in football and know your shit you'll find it can be really lucrative if you stay on top of things

FWIW: the 49ers haven't allowed a rushing touchdown the entire season...the entire season. nor have they allowed more than 64 yards rushing by a single back the entire season.
Need some advice! Im in the final game here for it all in a normal non PPR league
I have two WR slots and one FLEX and here are my options.
Steve Smith
V Jax
Santana Moss
Malcom Floyd
Kahlil Bell
Given V Jax being pretty banged up I'm thinking I go with Steve smith and Moss in WR slots and Bell in the flex spot. Or do I do Floyd with V Jax basically useless today?
From what I just read on rotoworld V Jax's groin issue is pretty serious

darkside31337
Tomodachi wa Mahou
I would definitely start Smith + Floyd + Bell if VJax is out. If VJax is playing then Smith + Moss + Bell.
Need to pick 3 out of the 4 this week:
Shonn Greene
CJ Spiller
Demaryius Thomas
Kahlil Bell
Leaning towards Greene + Spiller + Thomas but Bell looks like a good option since he's going to be getting the rock a ton.

It was only fitting that I had to beat LIB (got smoked by him in week 6) and GAG (lost to him in week 9) on my way to winning the chip.
Really expected to come in last as this was my first time ever playing FFB. Would love to play again next year if ya'll will have me.
Cam Newton for MVP. Lol.

Congrats to all that won/cashed..
As far as I went, I had some salty moments this weekend..One league had a doubleheader losing to the 2nd worst team in the league and 1st place team falling from tie 1st to 4th meaning get money back..
And my other league watching Romo, McCoy, and AP all get hurt...Plus adding insult to injury for some reason I benched Cruz instead of Robinson....
lol bad weekend
