Help me Pick my Defensive Players for HUGE playoff matchup (1 Viewer)

[Mofongo]

Big playoff game this weekend against the league powerhouse. I have a chance to upset him but I'm going to need some help from my defensive players. I need help from you sharks in selecting who I should start this week? We only start four players so there is some talent on Free Agents.

Defensive Lineman (Pick Two)

Justin Smith vs. Raiders*

Trent Cole vs. Redskins*

Ty Warren vs. Dolphins

Bryan Thomas vs. Bills

Charles Grant vs. Cowboys

Kyle Vander Bosch vs. Texans

Will Weatherspoon vs. Bears

Demarcus Ware vs. Saints

Derrick Burgess vs. Bengals

Defensive Backs (Pick Two)

Adrian Wilson vs. Seahawks*

Kherry Rhodes vs. Bills*

Ken Hamlin vs. Cardinals

Darrent Williams vs. Chargers

* denotes current starter

Here is the scoring system in case some of you ask..

Tackle Solo (0.5)

Sack (3)

Interception (3)

Fumble Force (2)

Fumble Recovery (2)

Touchdown (6)

start wilson and rhodes at db...no brainer in my opinion

at dl/lb, b thomas stands out, with j smith, vanden bosch witherspoon toss up for other spot. vb has been down, smith ice cold, witherspoon not a big play guy though...think id go witherspoon as the safe bet

Wilson and Rhodes for sure!

The DL is real good. Either play the hot hand or go with the better match up. Warren and thomas have been hot lately, but Cole was on a tear earlier in the season.

I agree with the above posters. Rhodes and Wilson are must starts at DB.Big premium for sacks for defensive linemen. Can't argue with Justin Smith against the Raiders. Although the Raiders are playing better, they're still giving up sacks to the likes of Jason Babin and ND Kalu. Bryan Thomas and KVB have the best matchups otherwise. I'd go with KVB -- five sacks in his past five games against the Texans.

While he may prove me wrong, I don't think Trent Cole is a very good play this week. He's been struggling -- two sacks in his last seven games -- and Jason Campbell isn't getting sacked any more often than Mark Brunell was. The Redskins have given up only 15 sacks for the season (third best) and just 2.5 since Campbell took over three games ago.
