I picked a bad week to go Bronco-heavy, finishing just inside the top 100 last week. I had Jamaal Charles in my lineup, that was the only thing that saved me. For this week, I'm going to the well with a Bronco or two again, and gotta get me a piece of Chicago-Philly and Washington-Dallas, too. So let's go.
In this competition you pick your best lineup of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 2 TEs, and 2 PKs. You can enter at this link. You're competing against Fantasy Index staffers and your fellow readers, and you can win prizes, both weekly and overall.) Here's the Week 16 lineup.
Quarterbacks: Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler. Going out on a bit of a limb with Cutler, but other matchups make Drew Brees and Tom Brady poor choices (in my eyes). The Eagles have been pretty bad against the pass, and this is a huge game.
Running Backs: LeSean McCoy and DeMarco Murray. I may switch this up and go with Jamaal Charles or even the other half of Dallas-Washington, Alfred Morris. I may also have to find a spot for Eddie Lacy, and heck Frank Gore looks awesome against Atlanta. I need to start more running backs this week. But McCoy against the Bears' league-worst run defense is a must-start.
Wide Receivers: Josh Gordon, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon Marshall. Doubling on Bears, which I think is fine in this matchup. Thomas is due for a big game, Gordon is simply awesome and should bounce back after a quiet week. Maybe I'll get old butterfingers Calvin Johnson in the lineup, too.
Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham and Julius Thomas. Even with the tough matchup at Carolina, I can't seriously bench Graham for anyone else.
Kickers: Phil Dawson and Stephen Hauschka. Home teams that should win and score plenty, plus weather won't be a factor.
Good luck to the rest of you.
