    Default Help with my lineup for week 14 (playoffs)

    Standard scoring 12 team ESPN league - our playoffs start this week and I'm in them - 2 rounds, 2 weeks per round.

    I think these are my no-brainer choices:

    QB: Brees
    RB1: Martin
    RB2: Bryce Brown* (*assuming McCoy is still out)
    WR1: Marshall
    WR2: X
    Flex (RB/WR/TE): X
    D/ST: Chargers
    K: Tucker

    Having a hard time deciding on who to play at WR2 and Flex, and I have some pretty decent options:

    RB: Dwyer, Beanie Wells, Deangello Williams
    WR: Torrey Smith, Eric Decker, Mike Williams, TY Hilton
    TE: Heath Miller
    QB: Kaepernick

    I've rolled most of the season with Decker as my WR2 and Torrey Smith as my Flex. But Decker has sucked the past few weeks and I'm gun-shy. I'm leaning towards keeping Torrey Smith in my starting lineup.

    Advice on who should fill those 2 spots in my starting lineup for week 14 would be awesome.

    I would run with these two guys again: Torrey Smith and Eric Decker. I dont think your other options will match up.

    Smith vs. Was and Decker vs. Oak. Those are very nice matchups.

    I agree with the two above. But if you're not all that comfortable with decker (understanably) take a shot with Hilton

    Thanks. Maybe you're right and I should go with the guys who helped me get to the playoffs and hope they have a good showing this week.

    I guess the other decision I need to make is whether to roll with the Chargers D/ST. There is very little available on the WW, the best being: Available are Cardinals, Packers, Dolphins, Jaguars (match-up play), Colts (match-up play). None of these jumps out at me as a major upgrade over Chargers. Were I to pick one of these up I'd need to drop a player or drop Chargers (and risk them not being available for future weeks).

    Not sure if it would help, but take a look:

    If Cinci is available, I'd be all over that. They've been nice for weeks. If not, I'd look to pick up a defense weekly... anyone vs. Ari, Jax, Phi or Ten could work.

    Thanks - unfortunately Cinci isn't available. The only one available of teams playing those teams you've listed is Indy who plays Tennessee. If you were me, would you drop the Chargers D/ST for Indy D/ST? Indy is the 27th ranked D/ST on our standard scoring categories (averaging 3.6 points per week). Chargers D/ST is 6th ranked (averaging 9.3 points per week).

    I ended up starting Decker who put up 8 points. Not as bad as his last 4 weeks, but unfortunately nothing great.

    This week, I'd roll

    Cle
    Jets ****
    Bucs
    Jax

    all over SD, in that order. A prime week 15 def to target will be Detroit. Out of the previously mentioned, the only D I outright drop SD for is the Jets who have

    @ Jax - No Drew and probably no Shorts.
    @ Ten - Stagnant offense
    SD - Phillip Rivers in windy NJ
    @ Buff - probably snow, limiting that pass attack. Divisional games are normally close.

    ok good to know. But the only one of those available is Jax. And I'm reading your advice as you wouldn't outright drop SD for Jax. So if I pick up Jax for week 14, I'd need to drop a player and it's hard to know who that would be at this point.

    I'd drop DeAngelo Williams and not think twice. For all intensive purposes, Cam is THE RB on that team.

    I'd play Decker and Smith as well.

    Which DEF are available? Sorry if I missed that.

    . Best (and I use that term loosely) available are Cards, Packers, Dolphins, Jaguars (match up play) and Colts (match up play)

    . Yeah you're right, he sucks. But I think he's starting this weekend and tough to drop even a crap starter as I don't exactly have awesome RB depth. I'll have to think about whether this D-ST uptick for this week would be worth it. Or I could be proactive for week 15 D-ST because our playoff rounds are 2 weeks and there are some decent match up plays available including detroit v arizona, Dolphins v Jax, Tennessee v NYJ, even raiders v oakland
