Week 14 Playoffs, Lineup Help Plz!!?

So I made it to the playoffs and now every point counts, I'm fairly happy with my lineup but there are a few iffy ones, I've placed asteriks (**) next to players I am thinking about benching. Please input, much appreciated.

QB- A. Luck ** @Cin

RB- L. McCoy Det

RB- E. Lacy Atl

WR- B. Marshall Dal

WR- V. Jackson Buf

TE- J. Cameron @NE

FLX- K. Allen NYG

D- Panthers @NO

Bench: Dalton, Harvin, Z. Stacy, J. Reed, Vereen, Rainey, Burleson

I am scared to start Panthers D against @Saints and Luck has been underperforming. Also J. Cameron has been inconsistent. There are some decent options on the wire what do you think? ?

    First, props for giving matchups (although the bench ones would help, too!).

    Anyway, I don't blame you for being hesitant about Luck. For whatever reason, he's not a QB1 this year and, while the game is huge to him, it's equally huge to the Bengals. I'm not a big fan of Dalton because he's so inconsistent, but I think I'd opt to go with him rather than Luck.

    I also agree on the Panthers. The Saints don't play well on the road, but rarely do they implode like last night. They're pissed and at home! I don't remember exact matchups for DEF this week, but I do recall picking up the Chargers. They have a good matchup. Also, in most cases, whoever plays the Jets should do well.

    The other stuff looks pretty good, except I might consider playing Reed over Cameron. The guy has done nothing for a couple months, and if Reed starts (which I think he will) the Redskins are at home and pissed too.

    Also, I might consider playing Stacy at flex over Allen if it's a good matchup. In playoffs, you want to minimize risk as much as possible, and it's generally considered "safer" to start RBs, simply because they're more predictable.

    I would start Stacy in the flex, find another Defense. The Saints are going to come back raging at home in the dome this weekend. The 12th man will be in their favor for sure. I would give Luck another shot this weekend over Dalton, and with your line up and a Stacy and a decent D, you should have a good week.
