So, I've been playing in a 14-team league for 15 consecutive years with the same bunch of knuckleheads... this year, as of the Monday night game, I find myself in first place, entering playoffs.

This weekend is a must-win, and the #4 seed is a tough team.

Here's my roster. I'm having a tough time deciding which D to bench, and which QB to field.

Eager to hear everyone's opinion!

I'd play the Eagles D, as Romo is bound to throw some interceptions.

I'd also probably play Rothlesburger. Atlanta is weak in the 2nd half.

I see why you're having a tough time. There are a couple of routes you can go (in order of preference).
1. Flacco against Jags. Because, well. Jags.
2. Ben against the falcons. That secondary blows, and Ben likes to throw it deep.
3.Ryan against Pittsburgh.Their D is mostly healthy, but aren't the best.

Your defense situation is a little different. I personally like the Eagles D when they play, but they don't always do the best fantasy job. They'll certainly win games because of their D/ST, but don't always rack up points for you. Working against that is the fact that the Boys can run the ball like crazy. Romo doesn't need to become Mr. Interception, and doesn't need to throw the ball to control the game.

I say Browns all day. Their D is going to be motivated since Johnny Manlove is probably going to keep the D in the game longer after he sucks up a storm on offense. This gives them more opportunities to turn over the ball against Dalton.

Is there another defense on the waiver? Perhaps the Ravens?

Nothing on the wire worth looking at. This is the difference between most FFL and ours - in a 14-team league, all the starters and useful players are on a roster. I got lucky on a couple wire picks early in the season.

Greg doesn't like the patriots. His hubris on the matter will probably be his downfall :)

The two gay guys in our league snatched up all the Pats players. Not sure why.
