CBSSPORTS.COM Fantasy Football playoff challenge help :)?

I made it to the finals in my league and I just need some opinions!!

We are on a salary cap point system of 300 points and I only have 8 transactions for the rest of the playoffs [[ meaning i only have 8 chances to switch players-- not 8 times to switch my whole team ]]

I HAVE to change my QB from Drew Brees -- I feel very good about using Tom Brady [[even though im NOT a PATS fan i think he's worth the 83 points ]]

I also need 2 new wide receivers and a tight end!!

The point is to pick people I think will go to the super bowl; staying in the longest not necessarily gaining the most points in one game-- if their team looses Im out a player.

ANY opinions will help!!

    I agree Brady is a safe bet, even though he likely won't score the most, especially this week. But then avoid the NE WRs, none of whom are consistent enough to use. What's tricky is that the 2 best WRs left (Roddy White and Jennnings) are playing in the same game. My guess is that whoever wins that game will be the NFC rep in the Super Bowl. If you have enough transactions, you could hedge your bets and pick each of them, then switch to Mike Wallace. . If that makes you nervous, take whichever one you think wins the game (personally, I'd go with Jennings) and then take Mike Wallace.

    At TE it's more problematic, since there's no way of knowing which one(s) Brady will use, and none of the others are good bets. I'd just choose between Hernandez and Gronkowski and ride that one out. Heath Miller is used to block too much, and I don't see Todd Heap lasting beyond this weekend.

    Id use Brady for sure. As for WR, I think Deion Branch is another good option, the Pats are a good pick for the SB. And for your second receiver its tough. You dont wanna try a Bears reciever, becuase there always inconsistent, Seattle may not make it far, Green Bay is possibly the best bet. Atlanta has White, but Woodson will shut him down, and the Steelers/Ravens dont have the best options either. Id risk Greg Jennings, that 2nd WR will be easier next week, but this week with so many good Ds in play, its tough. As for TE I think Gonzalez is decent, but he may not be the best. I really really want to sya Hernandez but then your basically leaning on the Pats for the league. Id go with Todd Heap, but TE and WR 2 are going to be where your going to use your transactions, cuz those are tough.

    Earnest Graham and if you need someone who plays in the wild card round go with Roethlisberger but if you can have anyone go with Brady.
