Question: I’m in the Championship Game and I’m debating whether I should bench Hakeem Nicks or Laurent Robinson in favor if DeSean Jackson.
My current starters:
QB – Philip Rivers
WR – Calvin Johnson
WR – Hakeem Nicks
WR – Laurent Robinson
RB – Ryan Mathews
RB – Arian Foster
TE – Jermichael Finley
W/R – Roy Helu
K – Jason Hanson
DEF – Houston
Bench: DeSean Jackson, Aaron Hernandez, Carson Palmer, Cam Newton, Jabar Gaffney, and Kahlil Bell
Thank you
Best answer:
I would definitely start DeSean Jackson over Laurent Robinson. That is a ridiculous line with Jackson in. You may want to then sub Laurent Robinson for Roy Helu at the flex. Helu’s carries have been going down.

Question: Who should I play in the flex for week 16?
My team has made it to the Championship! Standard league (No PPR).
Here is my current lineup:
QB — Peyton Manning
WR — DeSean Jackson
WR — Hakeem Nicks
RB — Steven Jackson
RB — LeGarrette Blount
TE — Jason Witten
FLEX — NEED YOUR HELP!
K — David Akers
Def — Eagles D
Help me choose my flex from the following:
Felix Jones @ ARI — This who I’m leaning towards with such a great matchup against a bad Arizon defense. But I’ve read he missed practice Tuesday and Wednesday with a bruised shin. Does anyone know if this injury is srious? How big of a threat are Choice and Barber to his carries this week? Plus Felix is great as receiver out of the backfield–better than those other two.
OR
Anquan Boldin @ CLE — His inconsistency has been killing me lately. I know the guy is an absolute beast of a player, but he’s being out produced by Mason! He tore up the Browns early in the season, ironically his biggest fantasy output of the year believe it or not.
The other “options” I have on my bench include the following:
Brian Westbrook @ STL (Dixon might be out so he may be the lone workhorse RB v. Rams)
Tashard Choice @ ARI (If Felix can’t go he’s my favorite option due to workload/redzone looks)
Mario Manningham @ GB (Coming off a good performance last week–tougher GB matchup)
Donald Brown @ OAK (had a breakout game last week–if only Colts RB he could play good vs a bad Raiders Run D)
Who is my best bet out of this group? Who do you think I should …
I’m in a 3WR league. I already starting DeSean Jackson.
I need to pick two more out of the following:
Pierre Garcon @ NE- Is a horrible pass catcher now and don’t know if he can be trusted especially with Manning’s eyes
Danny Woodhead vs. IND – He can be used as a WR/RB in my league and this could benefit since the Colts are horrible against the run.
Stevie Johnson @ CIN – Bengals have some of the best CBs in the league and managed to shut down the Colts pass attack and this might force the Bills to run the football throughout the game.
Randy Moss vs. WAS – Has a habbit of laying an egg just about every single week and now he’s up against a weak Redskins D but can I trust him?
Best answer:
Garçon and Moss should reward you. Woodhead is limited because of Green-Ellis and Bradys love of “spreading the ball” around. Stevie Johnson will only get you around 4 catches for 48 yards if you’re lucky. Wayne will almost get double cover and should open up space for Garcon. Roll the dice with Garçon and Moss.

Play(er) of the Week: DeSean Jackson. This was easy an easy call as he helped get the Eagles back on the right track. There is no bias when I say this, but DeSean Jackson is the most explosive player in the NFL since Deion Sanders. He could also be the best receiver since Jerry Rice (just my opinion).
