December 16, 200916 yr Here are some "dilemmas" that you all can help me sort out: WR: (pick 3) Roddy White, Wes Welker, Vincent Jackson, Hines Ward, Chris Chambers QB: Do I bench Tom Brady for Jason Campbell? Probably not, but Campbell's been on fire, NYG is giving up points to QB's like its their job, and Brady's been subpar.

Probably not, but Campbell's been on fire, NYG is giving up points to QB's like its their job, and Brady's been subpar. Welker and Jackson. I like Vincent to get in the endzone this week against the Bengals. Also Welker has a track record of murdering the Bills. Go Brady. It's playoff time.

Probably not, but Campbell's been on fire, NYG is giving up points to QB's like its their job, and Brady's been subpar. I'd say Welker, Jackson, Ward. White's matchup is awful. I could see putting in Chambers instead of Ward, but I just don't trust KC. Plus, Ward plays well every other game (seriously, look it up starting with Week 6). As for your other question... NEVER. BENCH. YOUR. STUDS.
December 16, 200916 yr I've got a wacky one for you guys. I think I've explained it before, but a quick rundown on the quirks of my league's scoring: -Touchdown points are based on distance. A short one of 1-9 yards = 5 points. 10-19 = 6, 20-29 = 8, 30-39 = 10, 40-49 = 12, 50+ = 15. So the longer the better. -We receive double points on TDs scored out of position. So a QB that rushes for a 9 yard TD gets 10 points. An RB that catches a 50+ TD (looking at you Brandon Jacobs) gets 30. -Yardage is standard, 10 yards, 1 point. Bonus of 5 points at 100 yards for rushing and receiving, another 5 at 150, and another 10 at 200. The major thing I'm looking at this week is the double point area. Joshua Cribbs is reportedly being looked at as an every down back, and looking at much more in the rushing area. He killed Pittsburgh last week with 8 rushes for 80+ yards. He didn't get any TDs, but heck, he outproduced Steve Smith in my WR corps. And therein lies the intrigue as Josh Cribbs is a WR that rushes. If Cribbs is essentially an RB, he's getting more guaranteed touches. If he actually broke one to get in the end zone, no matter where it was from, his value skyrockets for me. I'm considering picking him up and plugging him in place of Steve Smith. It's extremely high risk, but it's one of those things that I'm thinking of in a "no guts, no glory" kind of way. My team is always consistent, rarely explosive. I'm 4th in the league in points, 2 points back of 3rd, 16 points back of 2nd. The guy in 1st is way clear of everyone and has Chris Johnson, so no one is catching him. The guy in 3rd has really come on of late, and in fact passed me just last week. I'm afraid I'm going to be chasing his taillights. Points is what is most important in our league, where the big money is at. So I can basically continue playing it "safe" with my consistent team that has only failed to get 100+ in four out of the 14 weeks (and only two of the last 12), or I can go for the big play and possibly fall flat on my face or surge past my opposition. Whatcha got?
December 17, 200916 yr Author I'd say Welker, Jackson, Ward. White's matchup is awful. I could see putting in Chambers instead of Ward, but I just don't trust KC. Plus, Ward plays well every other game (seriously, look it up starting with Week 6). As for your other question... NEVER. BENCH. YOUR. STUDS. I think I'd roll with Welker, VJax and Ward as well. Revis has shut down just about every Wr he's faced, so you can't project White for big numbers.
December 17, 200916 yr PIck 3 WR: Colston Dal Austin @NO OchoCinco @SD Berrian @Car Chambers Cle Meachem Dal
December 17, 200916 yr Author I hate these Thursday night games and I have a serious decision to make. Garrard plays on Thursday night agains Indy (7th against Qbs), Cutler plays Baltimore (10th) and VY who may not even play against Miami (26th).
December 17, 200916 yr Author PIck 3 WR: Colston Dal Austin @NO OchoCinco @SD Berrian @Car Chambers Cle Meachem Dal In the bold.
December 17, 200916 yr In the bold. Thinking the same thing. I also have Dallas Clark at TE, I was wondering if I should start him since Colts already have bye clinched.

Whatcha got? I think Cribbs is a good risk to take (from what you've told us)...but in all seriousness, I am very, very willing to bench my studs, and sitting Steve Smith would be against your own advice to me.

Garrard plays on Thursday night agains Indy (7th against Qbs), Cutler plays Baltimore (10th) and VY who may not even play against Miami (26th). I'm in the same delima in my big money league. I've got Brees but you start 2 QB's. I would start Young but I'm afraid he'll play a couple series and be done. Cutler plays the Ravens which isn't good. I've got Quinn vs KC too. RB wise I've lost guys to injury. We start 3. I've got Gaither, Forsett, B. Wells, M. Morris, J. Stewart and Chis Jennings. Need to start 3. Been hammered by injuries there. WR we start 3. I've got Calvin J (playing hurt), Miles Austin, M Simms Walker (hurt), G. Jennings (playing hurt), Crabtree and B. Edwards. TE I have Celek (hurt didn't practice) and Witten. Got some tough decisions to make.

You'd consider Steve Smith a stud? I think he fell below that status after the 5th week of the year.
