I'm in the championship game and I can win $5,000. I'm really torn on who to start at Tight End and Defense.

I'm going against a tough matchup this weekend. He has Brees, Colston, Jennings, Barber, Gore, Tony Gonzalez, and Miles Austin.

Here is my team
QB- Kurt Warner
WR- Larry Fitzgerald
WR- Brandon Marshall
WR/TE- Vincent Jackson
RB- Maurice Jones-Drew
RB- Brandon Jacobs
TE- Dallas Clark
K- Mason Crosby
DEF- Minnesota

At TE I can go either with Clark or Jermichael Finley. Defense, I can go either with Minnesota against Chicago or San Francisco against Detroit. So I have no idea who I should really go with.

Should I start Beanie Wells against St.Louis over Brandon Jacobs against Carolina?

So if you have some good suggestions, please let me know.

TE-Finley
Defense-without a doubt go San Fran
RB-Beanie Wells

TE I would go with Clark he has been on fire.
Def definitely go with San Fran vs TB rookie qb.
I sat Jacobs this week as well and went with Moreno.

Espn people are thinking that Finley will have a huge day today, but it would be tough to bench Clark. They also said Beanie was a must play.

Clark
San Fran
Beanie

Finley is hit or miss
Always play against the Lions
Jacobs is a disappointment

You have to start Clark. He should be getting plenty of passes with Revis likely taking Reggie Wayne out of the equation. I'd go with San Fran's defense. They should have a field day against the Lions.

either or but i'd go Eli b/c of Kurts likely-hood to hand off in a blow out.

I benched Reggie Wayne vs. Jets/Revis and am starting Josh Morgan vs. the Lions. Dumb or okay move?

dumb, you forgot that the quarterback throwing to him is the best in the NFL

Yeah but Detroit's defense sucks and Alex Smith is projected to have a big day. Wayne is going against arguably best cover corner in the league in Darrelle Revis and it's not sure how long the Indy offensive stars play today (including the best QB in the NFL).

I wouldn't play Jacobs again until next season.

I drafted him in a lot of leagues, and found myself upset and benched him about 5 weeks ago.

Yahoo sports was screwing up and it never accept my benching of Jacobs. Yes, he was in my lineup and I will never have him on my team again. So far I am winning 75-60. I have Warner, Fitzgerald, Marshall, and Clark going. He only has Gore going and Austin, Dallas D, and Barber going tonight. Even if I am losing by a small amount, I'm pretty sure Minnesota will pull me through.

It's ok. Beanie Wells just scoring a pointless TD just lost me the Championship in my keeper league.

I was up 102-57 at one point and Clark, Beanie, Marshall, and Clark got him to 102.

It's 102-102 and he still has those guys playing.

FML.

It's ok, I guess because I still have 2 other leagues that I'm playing for the championship in.

I'm hoping for at least 1 touchdown by Brandon Marshall. That would put me up 21. Meaning Barber and Austin need to have huge games for my opponent.

So I'm down by 22 points going into tomorrow's game. Minnesota's defense starts off with 10 points, so I need a lot of help.

SCREW YOU BRANDON JACOBS...1 yard! How can you get 1 yard and thats it?

Wow. So did I ever get lucky. Unless there's a stat change, I'll split one of my leagues at 102-102 after I was sure that Beanie Well's TD effed me over.
