QB Rex Grossman
RB Maurice Jones- Drew
RB Tashard Choice
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Dwayne Bowe
WR Vincent Jackson
TE Aaron Hernandez
DEF Packers
K David Buehler

BENCH
Peyton Hillis
Tony Gonzalez
Charger Defense
Santana Moss
Carson Palmer
etc...

I just picked up Rex because I think Jacksonville will give up at least 2-3 TDs and Palmer versus anyone with a decent defense has been atrocious.

This leads me to the Packers defense over the Chargers. While the Chagers do have one of the best defenses in the NFL, the Packers are right there with them and seem to be more opportunistic as far as turnovers are concerned. Eli is a better QB than Palmer, but he is also prone to throwing picks, so I'll go with the Packers.

On to the TE. Aaron Hernandez has the better matchup over Tony Gonzalez. However, Gonzalez did score more points vs the Saints than any other team this year. Buffalo just seems like the kind of team that would give up huge chunks of real estate in the middle of the field, and are more apt than the Saints at getting fooled by misdirection. TG has been inconsistent all year as well. I'll go with Hernandez.

Tashard Choice over Hillis is something I will watch up until kickoff. I think the reward for playing Choice is good enough to risk sitting Hillis. I honestly don't see either of these backs scoring above 15 points.

Any glaring concerns? I am worried. A lot of new faces in my lineup for the Championship game.

PS

The team I'm playing against...

QB Matt Schaub
RB Adrian Peterson
RB Ronnie Brown
RB Matt Forte
WR Roddy White
WR Jeremy Maclin
TE Jason Witten
DEF Browns
K Janikowski

I really have no problems with your lineup. I prefer to play with the players that got me there unless there really is an option that looks a lot better (Grossman over Palmer). So I would probably start Hillis if I was in your position, especially if you are in a PPR league. But the Cardinals have a horrible run D and Choice figures to get the goal line carries even though Jones is better at it.

It is a non-PPR league. I will more than likely go with Hillis, but it will be an 11:30am decision for sure.
