It's championship week and this is the first week that I actually have tough decisions to make with my lineup. I've been in cruise control for the last 10 weeks just making changes for bye weeks.

League is PPR. 6pt for all TD's.

I just want to get some opinions on my thinking and criticisms if you think I should change something up.

Normally my lineup is:
Starters:
RG3
Julio
Dez
AP
TRich
Cobb
Witten

Bench:
Dalton
Moreno
MJD
FJax
Garcon
Shorts

With the RG3 injury I put in Dalton last week. I'm not sold on Dalton against the Steelers so I picked up Cousins in case RG3 can't go. Others available are Wilson(SF), Schaub(MINN), Bradford(@TB), Fitzpatrick(@MIAMI), and Cutler(@ARI).

I'm thinking Cousins if RG3 is out.


At WR2, RB2, and Flex:
Dez (NO)
Cobb (Tenn)
TRich (@Den)
Moreno (Cle)
Garcon (@Philly)
Shorts (NE)

Right now I have Cobb, TRich, and Moreno. I haven't heard news on Dez yet, but if he is good to go do I sub him in for one of these guys?

I'm tempted just to leave my lineup like this:
RG3
Julio
Cobb
AP
TRich
Witten
Moreno

But a healthy Dez against the Saints would be nice.

Any thoughts/opinions?

Only thing I might change is Shorts instead of Cobb.

I didn't mean 100% healthy.

Just not out there like a decoy.

So you would go with Shorts over Cobb, Dez, and Garcon?

I may be misunderstanding your question, but no.

I would rank these 4:
Dez
Garcon
Shorts
Cobb

Cobb is a must start. This is a PPR league.

QB
AP
Trent
Dez
Julio
Cobb
Witten

Cobb is your top receiver IMO.

Okay.

So in my situation you would go with

WR1 Julio
WR2 Dez
RB1 AP
RB2 TRich?
Flex Garcon or Moreno?

This is more of what I was thinking.
Cobb has been solid every week.

I guess my main question was really if I should insert Dez in over one of my starting WR (Julio or Cobb) or in over Moreno or Richardson at the Flex.

Trent has been getting touchdowns but barely any yards the last couple of weeks. I am a little worried about a no show against the Broncos.

As of late, Shorts has put up better numbers, in my league at least.

If Dez is active, he should absolutely be in your lineup.

Trent


Is 95% of that offense IMO. Can't sit.

Play the guys I told you. Those are your best options. If you feel unsure with Dez, then play Shorts, but I would not risk it.

I agree with everything except TRich/Moreno. Denver's offense is much better with Manning and KM has been on fire. Weeden blows and Denver will stack the box and make Cleveland one dimensional.

After Dez's performance last week, he is nearly a must start. In ppr, you would be silly not to start Cobb.
