Help me win this money, Fantasy Football

I need to win this week to make it to the finals where I'm guaranteed to get some money. I had the best record in the league but I have a tough matchup to make it to the finals. A couple things I need feedback on.

My QB- I have Romo and Big Ben. But I can also pickup Tannehill if I want to since he is playing Jags and that's a favorable matchup for anyone.

Next my RB- I have Rice, Law Firm, Ballard and Dwyer. Need to start 2. I'm reading something about an OC change in Baltimore that could hurt Rice's carries.

Then I have my defense. I have Bears and Seahawks both. NFL projections favor Bears but I'm leaning Seahawks since I'm scared of GB(they play Bears) and I"m more comfortable with Bills(play Seattle).

Thoughts?

I would pick up Tannehill. Romo just lost his favorite target this year and Ben doesn't look like he's quite "on it" yet.

Rice's carries have dropped all season long(I have him in the NP league) but with the players you have available I'd go Rice and Dwyer even though Dwyer is splitting carries.

I don't know that Seattle is the right choice here since they lost the best corner they had(I'm not sure if he's back yet), but the Seahawks definitely have the easier game. Rodgers has been going at it like he's capable of and I don't think that means a good night for the Bears D.

Mendenhall being suspended helps Dwyer, but Law Firm has had a string of 100 yard games recently.

The eagles have about the same level of run stop defense that Dallas does, you might be better served with BJGE over Dwyer.

tannehill's been struggling a bit lately, perhaps a mixture of approaching the rookie wall and not having a legitimate receiveing weapon. miami will emphasise the run if they can (and the jags are as shit at stopping the run as they are the pass so they likely can), it's highly unlikely tannehill exceeds 200 yards or throws more than 1 TD imo. i'd probably start romo though i'd also probably pay for that decision.

i also wouldn't overthink the RB's too much and just go with your top guys, rice & law firm.

the packers haven't been as explosive this year but rodgers can still light it up at any time, i'd definitely start the seattle defense. buffalo has a bad coach, a bad QB and seattle are hot at the moment.

Definately go with Seattle. I don't wanna give ya bad advise on the rest. I like Seattle this week against Buffalo. I think they will score big on D and S/T

You might wanna give Danyoson Carpenter a look also, it could make all the difference.

I did have Bears kicker who is now on IR, so I picked up Denver's kicker. Carpenter was available though.

Def Seatle. Stick with Rice. Firing old OC might have something to do with Rice's recent lack of carries.

And I'd recomend Romo. Though I'd never play the guy myself.

I'm leaning more toward Ben right now but it's possible I pickup Tennihill. Miles Austin isn't healthy and is just too slow right now. Dez being out won't help him either. I don't want to rely on Witten and Ogletree.
I'm not very confident in any of those 3(QBs) though. Which sucks for me.

I might have over thought this but, after some research. Brandon Weeden has won the starting QB spot this week. He is labeled as a "sleeper" everywhere this week and I guess Washington has a horrible pass defense and has given up 7 passing TDs in the last 3 games.
He is the one that NFL.com and ESPN.com seemed to agree on the most. All the options I have seem to be risky, so why not?

OK so now I'm thinking about picking up Colin Kaepernick, I am worried that it could be cold in NE though and that could make it difficult to pass.

So I already dropped Weeden and picked up CK. I'm flip floppin all over the place. Still not sure to start Owen Daniels or Aaron Hernandez at TE.

I got 16 from Law Firm and 11 from Green. Not too bad. But I'm scared that Cam Newton is going to go wild on SD and make it really hard for me to win. He also has Chris Johnson vs Jets that worries me.

It was looking real bad for me yesterday. Roddy White got me 1 point and Ray Rice got me 4 points. But my pickups of Seattle defense and CK helped out alot. Even though Romo got 21 and Big Ben got 19 I still got 25 out of CK as the replacement. I got 16 out of Seattle's D which helped me out alot. Also going with Hernandez over Daniels was the right move.
So right now I'm up 28.5 but my opponent still has Chris Johnson tonight vs Jets. So as long as he doesn't go crazy I should be heading to the Championship.

I won! Now I'm guaranteed money. Hopefully I get the $240 and not $40.

CHAMPION!!!



$240 for 1st place +$40 for high score bonuses= $280, boom.

paypal is fine if it's easier on you. But yeah I understand with the Holidays and fresh piles of baby poo.

You're the champ. You'll get your money how you request. You should use it to buy a Cotton Bowl ticket. Ill buy you a beer for every LJ td if you buy me one for every JFF td.

I thought about buying Cotton Bowl tickets. If Landry wins he will be the first QB in OU history to go 4-0 in Bowl games. I think he has a good game. You gonna be there? Really doesn't matter to me how I get the money.

Yup I have a SRO ticket with a bud of mine. He was in the league too.
