Week 16 Fantasy Football Advice

[spleen1015]

Week 16 is the first week of the championship in one of my leagues. So, I need to post a good number this week. I have 3 decent RBs, that I would like to get some opinions on.

Odd man out

Michael Turner
Matt Forte
Pierre Thomas

I have ridden Michael Turner and Matt Forte all year. Thomas has never been in my live up despite how well he has done. I mainly picked him up just to prevent the competition from getting him.

With that being said, he has done very well the last couple of weeks. He has to go into my lineup this week. Forte and Turner have done pretty good, but Thomas has been better.

So, which 2 would you guys go with?

well looks like you'll get points off any of them, so a tough decision. I would look at who they are facing I guess. Thomas and the Saints play Detroit so he's pretty much a given. Forte and Chicago play at home against Green Bay, another team out of the playoffs. It will probably be cold, windy, maybe even snowing Monday night, in other words perfect weather for the running game.

Turner's Falcons play at Minnesota in a big game for both teams. So both teams will be pressured and inspired to do well against the other, meaning Turner will likely have the tougher game of the three. So hard to not put Turner in the lineup, but I would probably go with Thomas and Forte in with this situation.

Or you can just go with "what brought ya" and go with Turner and Forte. :)

You really can't lose. I agree w/ Thomkal, though, Turner is the least attractive (though I still think he'll have a good game minus a Williams).

Because Turner is playing Minnesota, I think I have to go with the other 2.

After I posted my initial question, I stumbled on to something else.

I have Brees, Thomas, and Colston. If I follow the suggestions of my source for information, I'm supposed to play all 3 of them. I don't like the idea of starting the main components of 1 team's offense.

Greg Jennings and Roddy White are my other 2 main receivers and I have been riding them all year since Colston was hurt and been very inconsistent.
