In the Finals in my biggest league. Second place is $510 and first is $1000. Last week I picked up Julian Edelman in hopes he'd be healthy to play this week as my 3rd WR (I'd play him over Willie Snead and Jordan Matthews, even after this last week Matthews had probably) and this week I plan to pick up Tim Hightower to play over Chris Ivory against the Pats, since Ivory has done nothing the past three weeks.
Me and the girl on the other side (she's Defending champ btw) both have Cam Newton as our QBs and we may both end up with Hightower, so it's all about our role players.
I have
Forte and Hightower (hopefully) as my starting RBs
Julio Jones, Mike Evans, and either Edelman (if Healthy) or Matthews/Snead as my WR
Gary Barnidge as my TE (Zach Ertz as the other choice)
Cardinals as my D (or Giants)
Vinatieri or Sturgis as my Kicker seems to be the hard choice honestly.
Her team consists of:
Cam or Derek Carr at QB
Peterson, Hightower, Stewart, (O) or Denard Robinson at RB
Michael Crabtree, T.Y. Hilton, Sammy Watkins, Tavon Austin, and Nate Washington as WRs
Benjamin Watson or Kelce as TEs
Eagles or Lions as D
Blair Walsh or Vinatieri as kickers.
We can literally neutralize ourselves at 3 positions, and honestly I like my chances if its my 1 RB and WRs/TEs vs hers. But naturally I have to ask myself if Ivory will outdo Hightower. Or even if Carson Palmer could outdo Cam if Cam doesn't play the whole game. Whole lot of money riding on this game so I'm pulling out all the stops for it.
She's projected 111.3 to my 101.3 right now
