I won my fantasy bowl even though Boldin/Breaston/Branch all laid goose eggs (I only started Branch in that group). I wanted to thank you for all your prompt advice the last few weeks. It’s nice to take down the championship and get bragging rights for the year.

Thanks again.

Brandon – Of those three, I’d go with Rivers at QB. He has played the best and has nice weather. At WR, you have four strong starts. Colston is a good start, so I guess the best guy to bench would be Bowe, though I’d hate to have to bench him.

the team I’m playing against has Brees so do I limit his production by playing Colston?

Please help…

QB (1): Rivers, Thigpen, Favre
WR (2): R. Moss, Bryant, Bowe, Colston
QB/WR/RB (1): The best of the above not starting

Thanks for your help!

Vlad – Boy, at QB it all depends on how worried you are about the weather. Rodgers has a much better matchup, but he’s looking at the following forecast:

Mostly cloudy and windy. Cold. Wind chills may approach -15F. Low around 5F. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph.

For that reason, I think I’d go with Rivers. At WR, Boldin is probably out. Normally, I’d say Moss, Colston and Jennings, but with the weather, it’s a tough call. Colston is a sure start. If this is a PPR league I could see sitting Moss and Jennings for Bruce (dome) and Walter (Oakland). But my gut says to start my studs. At RB, Pierre is a definite start. Since Lynch is in a late game you can’t wait to see if he goes and switch him out if he doesn’t. Can you pick up Fred Jackson? If so I’d start Lynch and sub Jackson in if Lynch is inactive. If you can’t, then I guess I’d go with Chris Johnson.

Ray – For the same reasons listed above, I’d go with Jackson and Turner. At TE/WR, Marshall, White and Gonzo look good. At K, I think Prater is your best bet but it’s a tossup. Brees at QB sounds good.
