OT: Fantasy Football Championship Game lineup

[sloth316]

Fantasy Football Championship game, who do you go with (standard, non-ppr league):

at WR (start 1 as Antonio Brown is my sure thing starter): Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Taylor Gabriel or Malcolm Mitchell

at FLEX (any 1 of the following): Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Taylor Gabriel, Malcolm Mitchell, Derrick Henry, Tim Hightower, Mike Gilislee

I'd go Fitz and Henry. Julio is expected to play so Gabriel will likely not get many chances for a TD. Smith is questionable going against a tough Steeler D he didnt do much against earlier in the season.

Mariotta vs the Jags, or Aaron Rodgers vs Vikes?

Mariotta vs the Jags, or Aaron Rodgers vs Vikes?

Tough. Both are in must win games.
I would have to go Rodgers even in the cold. Both play tough defenses but mariota has two great backs so he doesnt have to throw to win where its likely rodgers has to throw to win. Rodgers is more consistant. Mariota has had 4 games below Rodgers worst game.

Mitchell and Henry

Mariotta vs the Jags, or Aaron Rodgers vs Vikes?

Dude, Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers.

Jets secondary is godawful. I would play Malcom Mitchell vs. Jets. There is a bit of a risk though because although he is getting a high snap count (around 85%), you never know which WR is going to get the most targets after Edelman ...... one week its Hogan, another week its Mitchell, next week its a RB or maybe TE.
But again, its Brady vs. the Jets. More than enough for a few NE receivers this week.

Thanks for the opinions. Sticking with Rodgers. First time in FFB that I am playing for the overall win. Winner takes all cash

Fitz has been killing me on one of my teams although he would be a safe pick to get you a half dozen points at least. My play would be Gabriel at WR-- I think he gets into the end zone. Julio Jones will draw the most attention and Ryan passed for something like 500 yards last time they played the Panthers. Mitchell could see the end zone as well against that Jets defense.

At flex, I'd go with Gilislee since he seems to get goal line carries. He was cut by the Dolphins-- Rex Ryan likes putting his players in position to get revenge. I think the Bills beat the Dolphins this week. Gilislee could see over 10 carries.
