Championship Game This Week - Who To Start?

[maryjanewatson]

Limping Adrian Peterson against a good Falcons run defense.

Steven Jackson against an improving Niners defense.

Or Pierre Thomas, the hottest back in the NFL, against a terrible Lions defense.

Pick two.

I have Dominic Rhodes and Addai on my roster....still don't know if Addai is sitting out tonight!! :eek:

If we're gonna do a Championship "Who to Start" thread I'll ask the question: Do I stay with Warner who has been starting for me all year or swap horses in the middle of the stream and go with Schaub?

While I like the "double dip" scoring I get with Warner and Fitzgerald I really don't like the matchup or the weather.
With Schaub I get a better matchup in better weather and will pretty much get whatever scoring Houston does against Oakland with Schaub, Slaton, and Daniels at TE. IF it makes a difference to anyone, my opponent in the Big One has Andre Johnson so starting Schaub would guarantee scoring points to balance against that scoring machine....

Thoughts????

So I was able to find out that Addai was dressing, but not starting. (Thank you, NFL Network!)

Rhodes got me 20 points, Dallas Clark got me 29, and INDY DEF/ST netted me another 11.

Here's my problem...

My other running backs suck.

Maurice Morris vs. NYJ
LenDale White vs. PITT
Tim Hightower vs. NE
Mewelde Moore vs. TENN

My other problem...

My WR's aren't much better. Other than my two starters... Wes Welker and Larry Fitzgerald.

Bernard Berrian vs. ATL
Deion Branch vs. NYJ

Right now I have Maurice Morris as my second RB and Bernard Berrian as my FLEX. I don't think I can do any better than that combo. Anyone else think different?

EDIT: Just went to the FA list and who was sitting there? None other than Sammy Morris. (RB/NE) Thinking he could be a good matchup against ARZ. He should be starting since Laurence Maroney is out. Pretty sure I am going to use him as my other RB, so now I just need a FLEX player. Any suggestions?

I don't think you're looking close enough at Mewelde Moore. TN defense is missing a few parts and Moore gets as much action as Willie Parker does.

Now, look at the post above yours and tell me which QB you'd start....

I'd go with Warner. It's going to be a shootout, IMO, and ARZ has NOOOOOOOO running game. And I do know that...I have had Hightower since week 2. Haven't started him in, oooh, six or seven weeks now. (Just dropped J.J. too.)
Plus the NE defense has given up the more points to QB's the last four weeks than any other team.

I agree that Mewelde sees more carries lately, and I've been thinking about him as my FLEX. Still got a few hours to decide.
