Playoff Lineup Advice

[LEAFS225]

I think I have a couple tough decisions this week and I'm looking for some advice. Here is my lineup.

QB: Eli Manning vs CAR
RB: Chris Ivory @ DAL
RB: Doug Martin vs STL
WR: Odell Beckham Jr. vs CAR
WR: A.J. Green @ SF
TE: Antonio Gates vs MIA
FLEX: Eddie Lacy @ OAK
K: Chandler Catanzaro
D: Carolina Panthers

BN: Denard Robinson vs ATL
BN: Tim Hightower vs DET
BN: Tyler Eifert @ SF (injured)
BN: Ryan Tannehill @ SD
BN: Stefon Diggs vs CHI
BN: Jordan Matthews vs ARI

My initial thought was pulling Martin and Lacy out and putting Robinson and Hightower in. Is that too risky? They both have better matchups and I still don't fully trust Lacy. Or maybe change Lacy for Robinson?

Any thoughts? Thanks

That is a tough one. I'd leave Martin in. But assuming it's confirmed that Yeldon is out (it's nearly certain, but not sure I've seen the official confirmation yet), I think I'd pull out Lacy and plug in Robinson. Lacy has just been so hit or miss, and still has to contend with Starks. Robinson has excelled when given the PT, would have zero competition for carries and the Falcons seem to have just given up.

I would completely flip your RBs here....Robinson and Hightower in for Martin and Lacy. OAK and STL have good run Ds making these tough matchups for Lacy and Martin. Martin has been excellent this year but could suffer from bad game flow. TB is on the road and underdogs tonight, game sets up better for Sims than Martin. Lacy to me just isn't trustworthy enough with his injury history, poor play and the presence of Starks.

Your other options are fine as you really don't have anything enticing on the bench (outside of Mr. Stretcher himself Tyler Eifert)
