Week 16 Lineup Help

[The Beast]

My fantasy football team is in the championship game for the first time ever! So, I'm trying to find the best lineup possible, but it isn't easy.

 

QB - Matt Schaub

WR - Jerricho Cotchery

WR - Robert Meachem

RB - Thomas Jones

RB - Adrian Peterson

FLEX - Ray Rice

TE - Kevin Boss

K - Shayne Graham

DEF - Atlanta

 

I have the following players on my bench:

 

QB - Peyton Manning

WR - Roy Williams, Reggie Wayne

RB - Beanie Wells, Marshawn Lynch, Maurice Morris, Michael Bush

TE - Heath Miller

 

I would start Manning, however, he isn't likely to play the whole game and the Jets have the number one ranked passing defense. Reggie Wayne is going to be covered by that pesky defensive back on the Jets and I think Heath Miller and Kevin Boss are a toss up. I'd pick up a new kicker in a heart beat but I was just curious of what you guys all thought about my fantasy league. The statistics for the league are as follows:

 

Offense

Passing Yards 50 yards per point

Passing Touchdowns - 6 pts

Interceptions - (-2 yards per point)

Rushing Yards - 20 yards per point

Rushing Touchdowns - 6 yards per point

Reception Yards - 20 yards per point

Reception Touchdowns - 6 pts

Return Touchdowns - 6 pts

2-Point Conversions - 2 pts

Fumbles Lost - (-2 pts)

Offensive Fumble Return TD - 6 pts

 

Kickers

Field Goals 0-19 Yards - 3 pts

Field Goals 20-29 Yards - 3 pts

Field Goals 30-39 Yards - 3 pts

Field Goals 40-49 Yards - 4 pts

Field Goals 50+ Yards - 5 pts

Point After Attempt Made - 1 pt.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Sack - 1 pt

Interception - 2 pts

Fumble Recovery - 2 pts

Touchdown - 6 pts

Safety - 2 pts

Block Kick - 2 pts

Points Allowed 0 points - 10 pts

Points Allowed 1-6 points - 7 pts

Points Allowed 7-13 points - 4 pts

Points Allowed 14-20 points - 1 pt.

Points Allowed 21-27 points - 0 pts

Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)

Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

 

What do you all think?

 

EDIT: Added Shayne Graham, dropped Billy Cundiff

Dropped Marshawn Lynch, added Atlanta DEF.

I'm starting Heath Miller over Kevin Boss.

Considering starting Beanie Wells over Thomas Jones.

This is the third time in 5 years I've been in the championship in my league (it's pretty damn competetive).

 

I took a gamble on Atlanta's defense tomorrow - honestly, I've been flexing my defense all season.

 

Schaub's been playing decent as of late.

 

Your receivers are a little weak but you have to hope one comes through - gotta look at those matchups.

 

I've got:

 

Warner

Jennings

Derrick Mason (taking him over Hines Ward - that injury of his worries me)

 

MJonesDrew

 

Ricky Williams

Antonio Gates (already played, got me 14.5)

G. Hartley

Atlanta defense

 

 

And my biggest gamble probably is NOT playing Jerome Harrison (the one who got 48.0 pts last week) - I sure hope that's not a mistake - I picked him up after last week but am thinking that there's no way he gets those touches again.

I think I won by 1/2 a point.

 

How about that Atlanta call, Beast? Nice pick up.

After debating for hours about who to start today, the MeistersoftheMidway edged out the G@lloping Pandas version 3 today, 71.22 to 71.14 with Adrian Peterson left to play for the first championship win in five years. ATL netted the team 21 points today! I actually started Josh Morgan at WR (didn't do anything for me) and Beanie Wells at RB (over Thomas Jones).

 

Time to celebrate in front of the Bears bench tomorrow - I got tickets yesterday and am prepared to make a scene directed at Ron Turner, the offensive line and Jerry Angelo.

Haha very nice... If you can somehow squeeze Pep Hamilton in there (Bears QB coach.. never developed a QB at all in his tenure) that would be awesome.
