Need help! Championship and $500 on the line...

I have a dilemma on who to start. Here are my spots:

WR
WR
RB
RB/WR

And here are my choices...

LT
Adrian Peterson (Viks)
Marques Colsten
Chad Johnson
Braylon Edwards.

One of these guys has to sit, but I can't decide who. The last two weeks I had MC on the bench, and it almost cost me.

I would bench Chad because he has had a down year. The only other one I would consider to bench is AP because the Skins have a good run defense.

I can't believe you have all those guys and you're still in a dilema. :shock:

Id sit Marques Colston( i know hes been hot lately) or Adrian Peterson- the rest have favorable matchups. If i had to pick one id say Colston

If it were me I'd bench Peterson because I HATE watching games with a conflict of interest. That's why I pick the Skins every week in my pick em pool. I won $1200 2 years ago and I'm one of the top this year in my survivor pool still in contention for $1,600. But when it comes to the Skins I pick them EVERY week because it detracts from the game if I have the pick even in the back of my mind.

Oh, that and of course I KNOW we'll win every week. I forgot that part.

I have a hard time playing guys who are playing against the Skins, so I would sit Adrian Peterson.

With that said, that line of thinking cost me a bye in the playoffs in my league becuase I lost my game the week we played the Eagles because I benched Westbrook, and the week we played the Bucs because I started the Ravens D.

Don't sit either Peterson or LT. Those guys are too good to bench, no matter what the match up. Even with a down game, Peterson still scored 2 td's against the Bears. Edwards you have to start also, going against the Bengals defense. Based on his recent struggles, I would say bench Johnson, but that is likely to be a high scoring game against the Browns and the last time that Johnson played against Cleveland he had over 200 yards and 2 td's. Sit Colston.

Theres really noone that stands out that you have to bench ( and by the way how did you get that lineup?) anyway Colston- even though he has been hot and he still might have a decent game, i think colston will have the worst game of the options you have simply because of philly's defense focusing on him and the saints main threat.

So how did the championship go?

I won pretty handily, thanks! I am surprised I had that team as well. We had a keeper league which allowed us to keep up to 2 players from last year. So I kept LT and Gore. About 2 games in, I traded Gore for AP and Colston hoping I would have something in AP for future years. I had no idea he would play like this so soon. I was just lucky in drafting the other guys. Thanks for the advice.
