    Default Starters for Finals

    First year in the finals in this league, and I want to give myself the best chance.

    QB (1): Carr vs. SD | Tannehill vs. IND | Bridgewater vs. NYG
    Available FA: Cousins @ PHI

    Leaning towards Carr over picking up Cousins, as he was really good against SD in their first game this year and he's been more consistent putting up bigger numbers. I don't trust Bridgewater to produce even if the matchup is juicy. Tannehill has not been an option for weeks.

    RB (2): Murray vs. SD | D. Johnson (ARI) vs. GB | K. Williams vs. DAL | C. West vs. CLE

    Johnson is obvious. Think I might stick with Murray based on volume alone. West against a poor defense will probably end up being my flex option. Any opinions on Williams over Murray or West?

    WR (3): A. Cooper vs. SD | S. Watkins vs. DAL | K. Aiken vs. PIT | S. Diggs vs. NYG | R. Matthews vs. IND

    I think Cooper/Watkins/Aiken are in. Diggs I don't trust because volume is low, even in a good matchup. The Dolphins are a mess, so staying away.

    TE (1): T. Kelce vs. CLE

    No WW options unless anyone thinks T. Kroft @ DEN is worth starting over Kelce. I do not.

    FLEX: C. West vs. CLE | K. Williams vs. DAL | S. Diggs vs. NYG | R. Matthews vs. IND | T. Austin @ SEA | G. Bernard @ DEN

    Probably going with West. Plus matchup and history of production when healthy. Williams is still listed as questionable and I'm concerned about him losing touches to Gillislee.

    DEF: KC vs. CLE

    Locked in.

    Note that this is a deep keeper league (i.e. 14 keepers, 25 man rosters), so WW pickings are slim. Thoughts are appreciated!
    16 team league, keep 12 plus *4 1st/2nd year players (16 total)
    Points Only (w/ NHL salaries), start 8F/4D/1G
    Note: Defencemen receive 1 point per 45 mins of ice time (1-2 points per week, ~30-35 pts per season).

    Forwards:
    L. Couture, F. Forsberg, T. Teravainen, O. Palat, C. Kreider, K. Hayes, *J. Guentzel, R. Rakell, *K. Labanc, B. Point, *C. Fischer
    Defense:
    *S. Theodore, S. Gostisbehere, *M. Matheson, J. Trouba
    Goalie:
    M. Murray

    I would definitely pick up Cousins.. I know I did and am banking on him coming up huge in a gigantic game for the Washington Redskins..
