It sucks to have this problem, but it also always tends to lead to picking the one that doesn't do as well....
It's a yardage league.

Chris Johnson vs Pit
LaDainian Tomlinson @ Tampa
Maurice Jones-Drew vs Indy

(Poor Willie Parker ridin the bench all year)

I'm leaning toward Tomlinson and JD.  Pit is too solid on defense and Tampa has been gashed over the past month.  JD is the only offense the Jags have now.

    Honestly I'm gonna miss you Mark!!
i would agree, Pitts D is tough...

got a little Fantasy problem of my own, in the championship game.

can start two QBs

Thigpen vs Miami
Flacco vs @Dallas
Campbell vs Phil
Schaub vs @Oakland

I thinkin of going Thigpen and Campbell, both have really been solid for me lately, but Schaub is tempting...

You need to start Schaub, unless he's even remotely listed on the injury report.  Then I'd go with either Flacco or Thigpen.  Toss-up there.

Philly is looking tough right now.  I'd go with Schaub and Flacco.  Oakland blows, and Dallas' secondary has been injury plagued.

Is "he sucks" a good enough answer?  Question is, with those 4 qbs, why does he even have a roster spot?

He's only thrown over 232 yards 2 times all season, one of those was against Detroit.  He's had 2 TDs in only 2 games and never more than 2.  Flacco gives you about the same amount of yardage, but he gives you a much better shot at passing TDs.  Thigpen is about the same story... lots of receiving targets.

Play LT definately, as a broncos fan, I know that the chargers are going to win that game, (while denver will lose to buffalo) and LT will most likely be the reason they win.  Also, on an unrelated note, the chargers will knock denver out of the playoffs in week 17  :suicideispainless:

I chose JD and LT.  JD had 90 yds rushing and 70 yds receiving last night.  16 pts.  I'll take it!
