So I flipped a coin and it chose Cam Newton for me over Drew Brees. I'm 37 points out of first and if I win, I get $1200. Wish me luck.

Rest of my lineup:
Cam Newton
Tre Mason
Gio Bernard
AJ Green
Sammy Watkins
Jordan Matthews
Julius Thomas
Greg Zuerlein
Houston Defense

Aints are at Tampa. I have Ingram and Graham going in that game.

Matt Ryan
Mark Ingram
Devonta Freeman or Matt Asiata
Julio Jones
DeAndre Hopkins
Jimmy Graham
Kelvin Benjamin
Arizona D
Cody Parkey

Who would y'all start between Freeman and Asiata in a PPR league? Freeman vs Carolina, Asiata at Chicago

I'd probably go Asiata, but trust whatever your gut is saying. I hate leagues that have their final game in week 17. I'm probably going to have to sit Gronk this week and will be riding Teddy Bridgewatwer for my title chances.

12 team PPR:

Teddy Bridgewater
Jamaal Charles
Lamar Miller
OBJ
Emmanuel Sanders
Jarvis Landry
Forsett or Latavius Murray (flex)
Gronk or Jermaine Gresham
Suisham
Denver D

I'd go Freeman if Jackson doesn't play. If Jackson plays I'd go Asiata

Yeah I'm assuming Jackson is out. Freeman has 5-7 catch potential and that definitely factors into my thinking.

somehow I managed to make it into my finals with this ragtag bunch of RB's and need to pick 2:

Mark Ingram
Latavius Murray
Tre Mason
Devonta Freeman

Ingram and I'll probably draw a name from a hat for the other RB spot...

List of RBs I've started this season:

Reggie Bush (6)
Knowshon Moreno (1)
Mark Ingram (8)
Shane Vereen (10)
Storm Johnson (1)
Toby Gerhart (1)
Daniel Herron (2)

Picked up Ingram when he was injured and stashed him on my bench until healthy. He's stabilized my RB position big time this season.

Mason at Seattle is a definite no no, IMO. Murray at Denver probably won't get you much either. If Jackson is out, Freeman is definitely your best option.

Week 17 championship is the dumbest ever. I would never play in that league.

I had no idea it was PPR, or that the championship was in week 17 until after the draft. My buddy that was the league manager never informed me and I didn't have internet access at the time to check all that stuff beforehand. I would have told him that he needed to change it because teams that clinch playoff position don't need to play their best players and it hurts good fantasy teams.

Our points system is a lot different than most leagues. Ours is very heavy on homerun hitters. The longer the TD, the more points you get. If a player scores a TD other than what he is intended for (EX: a RB catches a TD) it's double points. So Brees can throw for 300 yards and a 4 yard TD and get 11 points. Cam can run a TD for 10 yards and get 12 points. If it was the way a lot of online leagues score it, I would be starting Brees.

IN that case, you are a wise man. Cam will get his long plays I am sure.

0-9 yd TDs = 6 points
10-39 yd TDs = 9 points
40+ TDs = 12 points
2 pt conv = 2 points

100+ rushing/receiving = 5 points
300+ passing = 5 points

0-39 FG = 3 points
40-49 FG = 5 points
50+ FG = 10 points
XP = 1 point

Double points for...
WR/TE throwing or running a TD/2 pt conv
RB throwing or catching a TD/2 pt conv
QB catching or running a TD/2 pt conv

Defenses only get points for defense/special teams scores.
