8 team league and my season has just come to an end. I have already won week 14. The Monday night game won't matter. I'm 12-2 in this league and have the 1 seed. My team is good but has underperformed the last few weeks. I scored the most points but the 4 seed has scored the second most, so a tough match awaits. I do have some concerns about the status of Frank Gore. Horrible time to get hurt. Please give me your thoughts on who I should play at each position. Some spots probably can't be called now and will need to be monitored throughout the week. This is a standard touchdown league.
 
QB- start 1
Warner
Cutler
 
WR- start 3
Boldin
Wayne
Santana Moss
Driver
Breaston
 
RB- start 3
Westbrook
LT
Gore- i hope we find out something on him soon
Pierre Thomas- could be in a spot where i'm forced to play him w/
                       the thursday night game
Choice- Barber's status?
 
TE- start 1
Tony G- this is the only TE I have and wouldn't dream of starting
             anyone else this year
 
K- start 1
Elam
Tons of kickers available: Carney, Bryant, Akers, Rackers
 
D- start 1
Baltimore
TB
Indy
 
Thanks for the advice guys. This is the week I've been waiting for all year. GL to everyone in their fantasy playoffs

Best of luck in the playoffs.
I ended up with a winning record but
had 6 starters injured (brady) during the course
of the season.
 
From your lineup I lean with:
 
WARNER
 
BOLDIN, WAYNE, BREASTON
 
WESTBROOK, LT  , GORE
 
You mention there are kickers available I would
recommend:
Robbie Gould
the dolphins kicker
nick kaeding
Gotstarski from the patriots

I like
 
Warner
 
Boldin, Wayne, Santana Moss...against Cincy D
 
Westbrook, LT ...Gore got knicked too I think.  Cowboys are in desperation mode Barber will need to play against the NY Giants with his broken pinky toe.
 
Elam should be Ok

I'm still not sure about the Gore situation. Really hope he plays. I picked up Maurice Morris as well just in case. Good matchup against St. Louis. Obviously if Gore plays then he's a start for me.
 
I like the Moss call by Bustin. Bess is available as well and is another possiblity for the 3rd WR spot.

Waner
Boldin
Wayne
S. Moss
LT
Westbrook
Tony G
Elam
 
These spots are locked in for me. Still not sure about the Gore situation
 
Gore a game time decision. Thinking I might have to go ahead and start Pierre Thomas tomorrow. If I don't play Thomas and wait and Gore and he doesn't go, then it has to be Maurice Morris. Someone please, tell me what you would do in this situation
 
Oh, and leaning Indy D over Baltimore D but could still be swayed so I'd love opinions on that as well.

Pierre Thomas had a good game in Chicago last year probably the only person on the Saints roster... I think he is a native of Chicago.  Play him and say the hell with Gore

I decided on Thomas late last night and put him in the lineup to stay. Gore just finally off crutches and 49ers are saying he might practice tomorrow. I'd day Gore isn't playing. Besides, I can't wait on him and I don't like the matchup against Miami. Another positive about starting Thomas is that my opponent has Brees, so hopefully Brees throws another TD to Thomas this week.

Thanks Bustin. GL w/ your matchup this week

Damn I'm happy that Frank Gore got hurt. It forced me to play Pierre Thomas. My opponent played Brees tonight and Thomas outscored him 23-17
Great start
