So my main money league wraps up this week and it's not a head-to-head like the league here, we just go by the amount of points scored. First place is way out of reach, but I can get second place money still.

Anyway, I'm in third, six points behind second and eleven in front of fourth, so it's a tight race. I need help deciding on my lineup because I only have one transaction left, and I don't know if I should use it on anything in particular.

Here's my team.

QB- Kurt Warner, Matt Schaub
WR- Larry Fitzgerald, Greg Jennings, Antonio Bryant, Terrell Owens, Derrick Mason
RB- Ladainian Tomlinson, Frank Gore, Pierre Thomas, Leon Washington
TE- John Carlson
K- Neil Rackers
DEF- Green Bay, Indianapolis

The team I'm inclined to start.

QB- Matt Schaub
WR- Larry Fitzgerald, Greg Jennings, Antonio Bryant
RB- LT, Pierre Thomas
TE- John Carlson
K- Neil Rackers
DEF- Green Bay

Part of me wants to start Warner because they're playing Seattle and he lit them up this year already, but I'm afraid he may only play a half or three quarters. Schaub has Chicago at home and they can be thrown on, but Warner could be money.

Fitzgerald and Jennings are locks for me, but since Oakland can shut down the #1 receiver (Bryant), part of me is thinking of Derrick Mason, who has been consistent lately and has scored in three of the last four games, and this game is a must-win. I don't even know what to do about Owens.

I pretty much have to start LT and Thomas, and the rest of my team as well.

Any thoughts on my QB and WR situation? I'd put this in the other thread but this is of too dire importance right now haha.

start Schaub. Warner probably will not play the entire game.

Gore needs 22 yards to break 1,000 and will probably get more carries than Foster.

keep in mind that playoff teams might rest their starters.

TO in philly? You know hes going to be demanding the ball, and they are going to go all out cause its essentially a playoff game....

I guess i would replace TO with Fitz... you don't know they might pull him and save him for next weekend.... but yea i'd def get TO in there. and yea go with Shuab.

T.O. has fucked me over so much this year that it's really hard for me to start him. Fitz has been money and with Boldin maybe out, it's only him and Breaston at home against the 30th ranked defense against the pass. Even if he only plays three quarters, it's hard for me to not start him when T.O. has been so hit and miss.

As for Gore, he'll be splitting time with Foster which is what I don't need. LT needs this game so he's going to show up, and even though New Orleans is going to be passing all day long so Brees can break Marino's record, Thomas is a part of the passing game and the return game enough that even if he doesn't get enough carries, I still have other ways of getting points.

You guys sold me on Schaub, so I'm going to start him, but I can't start T.O. He's been demanding the ball all year and still has yet to outperform any of my receivers, including Mason, at all this season since I traded for him (gave up Lee Evans and Edgerrin James pre-benching). Even if he does have a big day, he's done shit for me all year.
