So pick my starting lineup. Basically I need to win this week and I need the guy in 1st place to lose...so that I can get the 1st round bye in the playoffs.
Pick 1: McNabb vs. Cardinals, Flacco vs. Bengals
Pick 2: Lynch vs. 49ers, Forte vs. Vikings, Portis vs. Giants, J. Jones vs. Cowboys
Pick 3: A. Johnson vs. Jaguars, Colston vs. Bucs, Bowe vs. Raiders, Royal vs. Jets, Reggie Brown vs. Cardinals, V. Jackson vs. Falcons, K. Winslow vs. Colts.
Pick 1: John Carney vs. Eagles or Joe Nedney vs. Bills
I'm leaning towards this lineup.
Flacco
Lynch
Portis
A. Johnson
M. Colston
D. Bowe
Carney [Reply]

that looks about right.
although... are we sure Carney is playing this week? And why are you leaning away from J. Jones against the C-boys? I'm just thinking that if Portis is banged up a bit (and the Giants D has been pretty solid) he might be an option instead of Portis. Lynch I'd start for sure. [Reply]

I don't start Julius Jones because you never know when he's going to show up. He can run for 130 yards and then run for 4. This close to the playoffs....I'm not chancing anything.
Kicker really doesn't matter to me. I'll start Nedney if I have too. [Reply]

that makes sense. yeah, go with Portis.
I only wondered about Carney because I've got him on my roster too. He seems to do well week in and week out. If he's playing I usually start him. [Reply]
I have to win to get in the playoffs this week. I'm wrestling with these two decisions...
Winslow or Shockey
This is going to sound crazy, but Dunn or Portis.
I know Portis seems like a no brainer, but he is banged up and facing the Giants, while Dunn is now getting most of the carries and facing the Saints... [Reply]

Favre. But the Jets screwed me against the Rams when they ran it all game. Coles had one catch. If Champ Bailey doesn't play, then I'd go Favre. [Reply]
