Lineup help for my must-win fantasy game!?

If I win, I am in the playoffs! Here's my lineup so far:

QB: Nick Foles

WR: Jordy Nelson

WR: Vincent Jackson

RB: Jamaal Charles

RB: Zac Stacy

TE: Jordan Reed

W/T: Antonio Gates

W/R: Danny Woodhead

W/R/T: Ace Sanders (Already played)

K: Matt Prater

DEF: Oakland

Here's my bench:

QB: RG3

WR: Riley Cooper

WR: Jarrett Boykin

RB: Stevan Ridley

RB: Darren McFadden

RB: Montee Ball

TE: Ladarius Green

DEF: Chicago

So, I'm thinking about starting Montee Ball, who's been getting lots of carries and has a favorable matchup. Any thoughts?

    Play Cooper over Nelson. Nelson's value has dropped precipitously without Rodgers at QB and Cooper faces the D that has allowed the 3rd most fantasy points to WRs this week. Reed faces the D allowing the fewest points to TEs this week. I'd play Green over Reed wven with Gates in the line up, but an even better choice would be to pick up Cook if available. Arizona has allowed the most fantasy points to TEs this year. Cook had 141 receiving yds and 2 TDs against them already this year. I would not play Ball over Charles, Stacy or Woodhead which are the three slots where you could put him. Ball is still behind Moreno.

    As conley said above, Jordy Nelson simply isn't as effective without Aaron Rodgers under center. He's a stud, don't get me wrong, but not even against the Falcons without Rodgers.

    I'd replace Nelson with Cooper as well, especially having Foles on your roster. If he hits him downfield for a TD, you'll get a lot of points from double-stacking. He's not the most reliable receiver but he has big-play potential because of his size.

    I'd also replace Antonio Gates with Ladarius Green. Green's got more talent and at this stage of the season, the Chargers are simply evaluating their younger players. Green has shown he can take the ball downfield and is becoming a valuable target to QB Philip Rivers.

    Other than that, your team looks good to me. Good luck this week.
