I apologize if I missed an obvious attempt at sarcasm, but you don't WANT to play in week 17. Teams with nothing to play for sit their starters. Makes for a really crappy week and lots of room for excuses from the losers.
EDIT: Nothing to play for is probably a bad way to put it. Those whose playoff seedings are locked is probably a better description. |

Oh ya, back to your question:
Quote:
Further worthless opinions: Jurevicius - Hit or miss. Was obviously quiet last week, but had a big day in Engram's first game back. The only other guy I would consider if I were you. Kevin Jones - Was the deciding factor in me winning my league last year. Solid mid-season pickup. This year, however, he's a turd. He rotted on my bench for about 10 weeks before I dropped him. I would start Artose Pinner over him, which is sad. Travis Henry - No. Michael Bennett - Mewelde Moore is back. Split carries at best. I believe Bennett's ankle is still tender as well. |

Andre Johnson is a great start against the two rookie CB's of Tennessee. Two good games in a row, despite dropping a TD last week.
As for your flex spot, my vote would be for either Glenn or Evans. Probably Evans, since Losman has a wicked case of man-love for him (and Glenn is ice cold). |

Just a quick FF question, what defense would you go with?
KC(vs Dallas) or Tampa Bay (vs Carolina) |

Neither option is very good, but I'd give a slight edge to TB. Are the Vikings available? They've averaged 16 points the last 5 games and should be a good play against Ryan Fitzpatrick and the dinged O-line of the Rams.

I would likely go with Glenn as your flex. Someone mentioned that they expect KC to "bottle up the run".... unless I'm mistaken, the Cowboys haven't had a 100 yard rusher all year and have been pretty poor at running the ball. Shouldn't be hard to do.
Defensively... KC and TB are pretty similar. The Vikings should be a nice option vs Fitz.

Week 17 is typically excluded from FFL playoffs so you don't get stuck with a Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James, Shawn Alexander, whose teams have clinched their playoff position, and you stud sit out.

Lee Evans, no question. And yes, you should definitely start Andre Johnson this week.
I would have leaned KC over TB, but Minnesota is a nice p/up for this week...start em. |

Vikings D holding up so far. 6 points, 1 sack, 2 INTs at the half.
