but i was thinking Miller vs Pit due to Daniel Thomas maybe being out with the ankle injury, but Rainey was a close second... Looks like Rainey it is

I don't have Lamar Miller in any leagues, but has he had even 1 good game this year?

Can't sit your studs and I think Russell Wilson is in stud status now. SF isn't the defense that should scare you into different QB's. I'd stick with Wilson.
EDIT: This is what I got.
RB2 0PPR 6ptTD .1pt/yd
MJD vsHOU
Miller vsPIT
Bernard vsIND
Spiller @TB
Almost leaning towards MJD because he got a solid 20 points against houston in Reliant. Bernard vs IND could also be a good one I think Bernard can have success against Indy. Miller is also interesting as Pitt's D is not that good and Thomas is now out so he's getting the carries. He got 22 for 77yd last week against a fairly stingy defense.
QB:
Rivers vsNYG
RG3 vsKC
Leaning Rivers.

Wilson played SF earlier this year at home, and he had one of his worst performances of the season. They still won the game, but he didn't do much. SF is the 5th best QB defense in fantasy this year, whereas the Rams are 13th. I think I'd go with Palmer against the easier D, at home, and in a dome in this situation.
I'd go with MJD and Rivers. Jags have been leaning on MJD a lot these past few games, and it has paid off with a few wins. I can't trust RG3 to do anything, so I'd go with Rivers as the safe bet. His team tends to get into shootouts, and given that they have no run game, I'd expect him to put up a lot of points.

As i agree with Wilson is a Stud. In the fantasy world Carson has a arguement to. In the past 3 weeks he has been 28, 24 and 24 and a better match-up then Wilson. There is also the he doesn't need to win this game factor that scares me.
As for your picks
Spiller and MJD would be my choice
And Rivers over RG3 but its close

Zac Stacy vs Cardinals (#1 run defense, has onle allowed 3 rushing TD all season)

Go Allen. NYG secondary is bad, Allen is on a hot streak, I think he's got the better match-up here. Stacy vs Cards has donut written all over it.
So I went with MJD and it got me a solid 12 points (just as projected by Yahoo) so now my questions is
0PPR
A. Brown (PIT/WR) vsMIA
Spiller @TB
Bernard vsINDY
this would be for a flex spot. Megatron, Josh Gordon and Forte round out the other players that I could sub (lol).

Won the game, lost the war.
In our division, the better of two, all 4 teams are tied. We lose on a 3rd tiebreaker and are out of the playoffs even though everyone in our division has better records than any team in the other one.
5 straight wins, most pulled off the waiver wire, and we're done.
Oh, and we just got high point for the season.

Okay, I won my playoff game. Moving on to the semis.
For RB I am going Lynch, and Fred Jackson. I have Pierre Thomas, and Montee Ball on the bench, Thomas is playing against STL, and Ball is not the feature back. I know Jackson isn't the feature back as well, but he gets a lot of looks on that team.
For WR, right now I have Roddy White, and D. Thomas. White is going up against that crumbling Washington secondary, so I have every intention of starting him. Now, I have ridden with D Thomas the entire season. He is playing against San Diego on Thursday Night. However, I am kinda getting an itch to play Edelman. As we all know, Gronk is out for the season, so E could become Toms favorite receiver. They are playing against Miami, so I don't know if I should start him over D Thomas.
Any suggestions?

Jackson and Lynch would be my picks. Thomas and Ball both are in RBBC's that have even more guys at the spot than Jackson, and ATL's defense is made up of ghost farts.
I'd probably play White and DT at the WR spot both have easy match-ups (SD's pass defense is almost as cartoonishly bad as the Cowboys) whereas Miami actually has players with a pulse in their secondary. I wouldn't want to play "Guess which Pats WR is the one today" in the playoffs. Edelman as a FLEX is perfectly fine though if that's what you have to choose from though. I would play him over Ball and Thomas easily.

MJD vs BUF
Bernard @ PIT
Spiller @JAX
Leaning MJD since he's been pretty good the last few weeks, but he did get injured in the Texans game. I wish the other two guys weren't in stupid timeshares (Especially Bernard. It's infuriating to see Bernard with 99 yards rushing and 59 yards receiving and BJGE with 3 yards and 2 TD's.)

Colston for sure. Not sure who NO plays but I'm low on Tate right now.

Miami has secondary players that have a pulse and the STL defense doesn't have the secondary talent that Seattle does. I think Coldton has a higher floor while Edelman has the higher ceiling.

This is my SB match-up. 0PPR 6pt TD's.
I can sub Bernard for MJD/Spiller, Clay/Olsen are my TE's and I think those are my major question marks. I have Edelmen on my bench also but I don't think he's getting in over any of the other 3 WR's I already start, I'm just keeping him away from my opponent. Thoughts?

His RBs suck. Honestly, it's surprising he even made the finals with that team. You should win easily, unless Manning decides to score 60 points on the Texans.

I'm in a quandary with the Saints-Panthers game. I've got Brees and I've got the Panthers DST. One of them is going to get smashed. They played 2 weeks ago and luckily I was on a bye so I didn't have to worry about it.
Is there any way it can work if I start both of them?
I'm going to try to get the Lions off the wire since they're playing the Giants. If I can't get them, then maybe the Browns or Broncos.

I've normally been swapping the 2nd slot based on lineups. Veeren and Brown have been money but didn't do much last week. Gio probably has the best matchup against MIN at home. Idk...ugh.

Need advise. Im in the Superbowl with my money league at work. It's round 1.
Tom Brady @ Bal?
or
Russel Wilson vs Ariz?
Im leaning towards Wilson...
My wide receivers are Calvin Johnson and Jeff Gordon and they are solid. My next question is who should I flex.
A.Jeffery @ Philly?
or
DeSean Jackson vs Chicago?
Id rather have one of them then Jones Drew or Fred Jackson for my flex.

Actually made it to the SB.
Playing my brother in the super bowl, so A LOT is on the line lol.
Luckily one team decided to drop all of his players, and I picked up Frank Gore, who is running against Atlanta. Zac Stacy was also on the wire. Should I go with Gore or Stacy?
Here's what my lineup looks like.
Brees QB
Lynch RB
Gore RB
DT WR
Edelman WR
H Miller TE
Tucker K
SF TM
Players of note on my bench are Pitta, Roddy White, Boldin, and Fred Jackson.
Normally I'd start Pitta over miller, but he barely got any looks last game, and is going against NE. Any other suggestions?

Brady. AZ's defense is legit.
Coinflip really. Probably Jeffery but you can make the case for either as both the Philly and Chicago D are pitiful.
Gore, and I'd probably play Pitta over Miller as well.

Another guy beat me to the Lions. Picked up the Broncos @ HOU and they Browns @ NYJ. I think Schaub is actually going to move the ball on the Broncos, so I'm probably gonna go with the Browns. DST's have been killing the Jets.
Then again I might just start the Panthers and hope that they're able to score and Brees can get garbage time points like he did last week. This matchup gives me nightmares.
Tony Gonzales is also giving me nightmares this week at SF. If I go with someone else, I'll be reaching.

Probably go Bernard then. He's caught more passes this year and the Patriots offense can be very difficult to figure out who is going to get the receptions from Mister Brady. On the other hand, BJGE isn't really a threat to do much as a receiving option, unlike Bernard.
I'd go with the Browns. Their defense is good and the Jets are not. Probably would start Gonzales unless you have somebody like Olsen or Clay on the WW.

Well I'm in the final and I've got 2 tough decisions.
Brady @ Baltimore or Cousins at home vs the Cowboys awful D?
It's a 3 WR league and I've got Brandon Marshall. I had Wes Welker, but he's injured. So which 2 should I roll with -- Andre Caldwell (@HOU), Ace Sanders (vs TEN) or Rod Streater (@ SD)?

Eh, cowboys are certainly awful but I think Morris might be the guy with the big game and Cousins might get out pointed still by Brady so I'd roll with Tom Terrific. I would probably go Streater > Caldwell >> Sanders in that order. Caldwell also has DT and Decker and Julius Thomas to share balls with and the. Titans secondary has been pretty stingy this year.

All the guys on the Sirius Fantasy channel are huge on Cousins this week. They're saying he has the best matchup of the week.
