Ten minutes later, he was on your team and now may lead you to the title over me. Man, could I really be on the verge of losing three-straight championship games? I feel like the Bills. Not cool, JP. :)

Saying that he has the "better" matchup is an understatement. The Vikings are #1 in the league against the rush, and prior to the last couple of weeks, Turner hasn't done very well against the best rush defenses. On the other hand, Detroit is dead last in rush defense and Reggie Bush is banged up. It's a tough call due to Turner's recent production, but Thomas is on fire and has an awesome matchup. It's not set in stone, but right now I have Pierre in my lineup. Besides, he told me that he really wants to stick it to his old team. ;-) I am leaning Pierre.

I have a conflict of interest here... Well, Pat Williams is definitely the better run-stuffer between the two Williamses, but Evans is a proven backup and he should be fine. JP - I'd start Turner over Thomas. Turner has been so good the past couple weeks and he's the clear choice around the goal line. Even though Tampa is banged up at the moment, Turner rushed for 150 against the Bucs last week and managed to get in the end zone. The Saints are still going to give Bush plenty of opportunities to score and while Thomas has the better matchup, I think you still with the hot hand in Turner. That's a tough choice though. Oh no!

Let's just say that I wouldn't mind seeing one of JP's teams lay an egg this week. Don’t give him any info, Anthony!

I benched him for Pierre Thomas thinking that Thomas' matchup with Detroit is too good to pass up, but Turner has been solid all season so it's tough to bench him.
