Fantasy Football Week 16 Questions?

So it's obviously playoff time. 8-team standard league. I'm looking to play the best lineup possible this week (who isn't?). Any comments or suggestions you may have are appreciated.

My roster with Week 16 match-ups:

QB: Kirk Cousins vs. Dal

QB: Aaron Rodgers vs. Pit

RB: Eddie Lacy vs. Pit

RB: Chris Johnson @ Jac

RB: Le'Veon Bell @ GB

RB: Bobby Rainey @ StL

RB: Chris Ogbonnaya @ NYJ

RB: Rashad Jennings @ SD

RB: Shane Vereen @ Bal

WR: Vincent Jackson @ StL

WR: Antonio Brown @ GB

WR: Da'Rick Rogers @ KC

WR: Roddy White @ SF

TE: Vernon Davis vs. Atl

D/ST: Chiefs vs. Ind

K: Mason Crosby vs. Pit

I'm thinking based on ability and match-ups, my picks would be:

Aaron Rodgers if playing, Kirk Cousins if not (vs. Dal is a great QB match-up)

Eddie Lacy

Chris Johnson

Vincent Jackson

Antonio Brown

Vernon Davis

Le'Veon Bell/Rashad Jennings

Chiefs D/ST

Mason Crosby

There isn't anyone else good on the waiver wire, so I'm sticking with who I've got for this. Any advice? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, and I'd be happy to answer yours. Good luck Week 16.

    Thanks for answering my question too !

    Kirk Cousins (Because he has more to prove than Rodgers but in crunch week maybe it would be better to go with a definite 20+ game)

    Eddie Lacy

    Chris Johnson

    Vincent Jackson

    Roddy White (only because I think Ryan throws a lot generally)

    Vernon Davis

    Le'Veon Bell (Hes on form at the moment I will be using him too)

    Chiefs D/ST

    Mason Crosby

    I think thats really accurate ...Are there any specific doubts you are having or just wanted to discuss? ...I like your line up its balanced :) !!!

    QB: Aaron Rodgers vs. Pit (Rodgers might be little rusty...for some reason I am liking Cousins but who in their right mind would bench Rodgers if he is eligible to play?)

    QB: Kirk Cousins vs. Dal

    RB: Eddie Lacy vs. Pit (ehh...Lacy will get good numbers on LUCK...Bernard only got 33 yards with one TD because he was in red zone... If Rodgers play then it shd help spread around defense for Lacy...)

    RB: Chris Johnson @ Jac (No question, Jaguars is one of the bottom ranked rush def)

    RB: Le'Veon Bell @ GB (oh yeah, GB let Murray run over 100 yards with a TD even if Cowboys def stinks)

    RB: Bobby Rainey @ StL (Rainey will score but it is either he gets on fire or bring you 9 or 10 points but he is GUARANTEED to bring you more than 5 points)

    RB: Chris Ogbonnaya @ NYJ (no need to discuss him- nonexistent in my book)

    RB: Rashad Jennings @ SD (Same with Rainey, he will either torch the defense or he will bring in mediocre numbers around 9 or 10 points)

    RB: Shane Vereen @ Bal (Use him if you want a safety net, he will definitely score but not big as you want him to.)

    WR: Vincent Jackson @ StL (He will definitely catch balls and has potential to pull it off big.)

    WR: Antonio Brown @ GB (Pick him if you want guaranteed numbers at least 9 or ten)

    WR: Da'Rick Rogers @ KC (Same with VJAX...KC gave a lot of points to WRs in general)

    WR: Roddy White @ SF (Nope, don't risk it)

    TE: Vernon Davis vs. Atl

    D/ST: Chiefs vs. Ind (No other options?)

    K: Mason Crosby vs. Pit

    Thanks for answering mine.

    You've got it right...you're going to think I'm crazy, but even if Rodgers plays, I like Cousins. That Dallas defense it that bad and Rodgers coming off an injury. I would also start Bell over Jennings because the Chargers run D is MUCH improved.

    Looks good, the only lineup I would reconsider is starting jennings. Bell looks too too uncomfortable when running and isnt that immersed in the offense yet. Seems like OAK relies more on the run because of their QB situation

    Thanks for answering mine.

    Looks good to me except QB. Just make sure Rodgers is playing this week, heard he probably won't. What other QB's are on the waiver?

  • 7 years ago

    thank you for answering my question, looks like you got everything right on your picks, GB's running D sucks recently so start bell is a good idea, I think.

  • 7 years ago

    I doubt Rogers will play, he wants to but I dont think they will. Other than that, I'd probably play it the same way. Good luck and thanks for answering my question.

    Looks solid to me.
