In three leagues -

In first and clinched in playoff in my 12 team money league

In sixth with not horrible shot at the playoffs in 12 team free league. (I have the second highest point total -- that's how the ball breaks I guess)

In first in my 10 team free league. Unless I lose my final game by 95 points, I am in the playoffs. Just a matter of seeding - top four teams all have same record.

So ... doing fine in regular season. Play-offs are a big crap shoot.

2nd in our pickem league

1st in my 10 team money league

a strong draft (peterson, brees, graham; 1-2-3 + desean jackson in the 7th + fred jackson in the 8th)
i added gordon in week 1 or 2, he's been BALLIN'
i added stacy in late october, he's been ballin'

my only serious injuries were to reggie wayne and to shane vereen; i kept vereen and i don't regret it.

My big draft win was Ashlon Jeffrey in the 12th Round
My big FA win was Julius Thomas in week 2.

Also got Le'Veon Bell early as a FA (hurt his foot almost immediately after the draft and guy who picked him cut him - snatched him up and stashed him).

Late season FA is Foles - He is my QB in the first round (over Brady). Also got Vereen in advance of his return from IR.

Rounds 1-4: Morris, AJ Green, J. Nelson and D.Murray. All solid contributors.

So with that said, any recommendations for my flex guy?
RB's: Vereen, Murray
WR's: Green, Jeffrey

Flex: J. Nelson, Morris or Bell

Normally, Morris is a no-brainer but, with all the Shanahan crap, just not sure if I can rely on him.

I think you gotta stick with Morris, he's been mostly consistent all year. I don't like Nelson with Flynn throwing the ball, and Bell hasn't been as good as Morris has been this year.

Or you could look at it like this: I had the bye last week, naturally AD gets injured, and my options are DeAngelo Williams or Brian Leonard unless my waiver pickup of Andre Ellington goes through tomorrow. And did I mention my other starting running back is Danny Woodhead? Yeah I might have a tough time advancing to my championship game after this week.

Yeah, I got no complaints about my RB's. Win lose or draw, they really were my staple throught out the year.

Which of course means they will all tank (except the guy on the bench) this week.

In the semi-finals in my money league! Finished the regular season tied for the best record, second in points scored. I've beaten the team I'm facing twice and have beaten the other two teams also.

But...RGIII has been my QB all year. Reed is my TE.

Lucky I snagged Andy Dalton as a backup when he was dropped before he woke up. Early in the season he was bad and someone dropped him. Going to have to start him when it counts. Martellus Bennett is my other TE so I'm OK there too but I've missed Reed's numbers.

-----------------------------

For my WR3, I've had TY Hilton but he's been quiet for a month now.

My other WRs are Riley Cooper vs MIN or Rod Streater vs. KC.

Streater has been great in the last month, 21 receptions for 364 yards and 2 TDs....but going against KC.

I'm leaning towards going with Cooper over Hilton this week at WR3.

Thoughts?

welker out : fred jackson in

peterson [possibly] out : vereen in

not a big deal this week (i'll have to lose by 61 to lose the game), but concerned going into weeks 16 and 17.

Which one do I leave on the bench? ... Morris, Stacey or Ball?
