WDIS + Current Matchup (WHIR) (1 Viewer)

 Hey all,

So, I'm current at 1-3 and playing somebody who's 3-1 in a 10 team standard league.

Have a look at my current matchup, my team is on the left, my opponent already has a 16 pt lead as a result of Hyde's great performance

I'm currently projected to lose by about 6 pts based on ESPN's projections.

I was wondering, are there any tweaks that anyone can recommend from a) a lineup standpoint and b) if there's anyone I can pick up on the waiver wire in order to give me that little bit of upside boost to potential get an edge in this matchup.

From a WDIS standpoint, I had a couple of questions: a) Do I play Eli or Rivers at QB and b) Do I play Pitta or Bennett at TE

Thanks (WHIR)

 
As far as the WDIS goes I would go with Eli against the Packers that game may be somewhat of a shootout up in Lambeau and Eli's weapons are much better than Rivers and he should bounce back fairly well after playing the Purple Abyss up in Minnesota. I would also go Bennett at TE, Gronk has been playing but DA CORN has been out shining him and with Brady coming back Bennett could be in for a sexy game.  The only thing on your starting lineup I would even consider changing is Pryor for Edelman but with Brady coming back I would probably just sit tight with Edelman.

Check us out, my buddy and I just started a Fantasy Football Podcast, any support is greatly appreciated.

 
I would say Eli and Rivers is pretty much a coin flip, however myself I would agree and go with Manning. First off it should be a shootout and on top of that with all the heat OBJ has got this week I expect to see him step up big this week. As for te I would for sure go with Bennett, Gronk is just not right and Bennett has already had a couple big games and this week he gets Brady back to throw to him. 

 
I would go Bennett as I feel his upside is higher although his connection with Brady supposedly hasn't been great is practice.  Rivers and Eli both have a lot of upside but I prefer Rivers against a very poor Raiders secondary.

 
Keep plugging in Bennett at TE. Whether he has great chemistry with Brady or not, it's Brady, so you have to take that shot.

QB - tough one b/c of match ups. Though Rivers has a nice matchup, something isn't right in SD and probably it has to do with Allen out. ODB could have the big post-diva game and I figure 2 TD is Eli's floor this week. Seems safer to go with Eli over Rivers.
