I go with White, Sims-Walker at WR, Jackson, Tomlinson, Harrison at RB. Harrison and Tomlinson are the shakiest, you could throw in Hightower 'cause St. Louis is a pretty poor team. I wouldn't start Wayne this week 'cause a) the Colts probably won't have their starters going the full game and b) Revis will be locked on him, meaning his production will be way down.

I do get return yardage points and return TD's too. Plus the rushing yards make it tough to not play Cribbs.

Yeah, if you get points for return yards then starting Cribbs at the flex makes sense. I agree w/ se-alum

At this point, I'm more inclined to play Harrison over Tomlinson.
It's hard to justify Sims-Walker over Wayne even though u know Wayne probably wont get much. The potential is just so much higher for Wayne though.

WR- Wayne
WR- White

RB - Thomlinson
RB - Harrison

Flex- Jackson

Cribbs isn't going to have 2 weeks like that in a row. Don't fall for it. Plus, starting 2 Browns in a Championship game is poison. Harrison will do better against a shitty Oakland rush defense.

I've been startin cribbs for his rushing yards alone. It usually gets more than most WR's.

Revis will shut down Wayne and the Colts won't have to throw much b/c Sanchez will screw up royal in the first quarter of the game and the Colts will be playing with the lead from early on. Sims-Walker at least has a chance to get a lot of balls thrown his way against a craptacular New England secondary.

WR - Wayne needs to start for the sheer number of looks he'll get. There is no field general playing today like Manning, and he'll definitely get Wayne his looks. Plus, Addai has been off for a few weeks (much to my chagrin), so look for the pass game to see an increase in percentage of offensive plays on top of what it already gets. The Jets obviously have an amazing D, but I'm still not sure it's as good as advertised. They've played ONE top-notch QB this year in Drew Brees, and he hasn't exactly been the model of consistency this year. I think Peyton will have a respectable game, and Reggie WILL get his looks and touches.

WR - I hate to say this, because I don't really care for his consistency, but I like Roddy White this week. The Bills' pass D numbers are inflated because they have been playing from behind most games, so opponents haven't had to pass all game. In games where the Bills were close or where they won, the opposing QB usually lit them up for yardage (NE Brady, TB Leftwich, CAR Delhomme, KC Cassel), and when that wasn't the case, it was either because the opposing team's running game was so effective or because the opposing QB just sucks THAT bad. Now, Ryan WILL get picked at least once (probably twice), because the Bills secondary is chocked full of ball hawks, but that bodes well for Roddy's long-play potential. He'll get a deep TD this week. My only concern is that if Atlanta gets ahead early, they may put it confidently in Burner's hands. The Bills are, after all, last in rushing yards given up with over 165 per game.

RB - Start Jackson. He already faced the Cards' rush D once this year (Nov 22), and he legged out 116 yards on 24 carries (an average of over 4.8 YPC), punched in a rushing TD, and he caught a couple passes (for no yardage, but still). No reason he won't do that again. He's been a guaranteed 100 yard rusher almost every game this year, and he can be an effective receiver as well. He's a must-start this week.

RB - I feel weird saying this, but I'd start Harrison. Oakland gives up the fifth most rushing yards per game, and with Harrison's performance this past week, he'll see the ball early and often. Obviously, don't look for another 300 yards and 3 TDs, but I could easily see 100-130 yards and a score or two. Plus, it's not like Cleveland should be looking to pass first.

FLEX - This is tough. The Tennessee run D is good enough that I don't see either Sproles or LDT doing anything significant, and if there is a rushing TD in there, it's a roll of the dice as to who gets it. After Beanie stepping it up, I think Hightower is going to be treated (rightfully) like a timeshare back at best, and a spell for Wells at worst. Atlanta has an inconsistent run D, and I don't know which will show up this week, so Lynch is risky at best. Cribbs wouldn't be wise, because I honestly don't think Oakland will be able to stop the run, and what little passing the Browns may do will go mostly to Stuckey and Massaquoi. That leaves another risky pick in MSW, who is TERRIBLY inconsistent. It's between Sims-Walker and Lynch for me. I honestly might have to give it to Lynch, because he will get more guaranteed touches, and his team's defense will have more takeaways, giving his offense more opportunities. So, I say Lynch.

Whew.

Good call on LDT lol

Luckily I wasn't dumb enough to start Lynch over Tomlinson.
