I'm probably biased because I have a Jordy Nelson/Adre roberts dilemma brewing and last week showed me no reason to trust Jordy this week HOWEVER, I agree with the idea a few have posted that the Packers probably want to right their ship a bit after being SO flat last week and even if they are not working on the #1 seed by the time the game is played, I think when you have a game that EVERYONE is watching in prime time and it is against your arch-rivals; that's just one of those games where everyone knows it means a little something more and everyone plays to win.

Maybe I'm putting too much into it and over thinking, but I can't imagine that the Packers want to go into the playoffs losing at KC, not giving full effort to Chicago and possibly resting players against the Lions. It just seems like teams are always talking about "playing their best ball in December" and I can't imagine the Packers would be feeling too good about themselves going into the playoffs having been upset BIG and dropping games to their divisional rivals.

 
On the other hand, all you have to do is look over to Pittsburgh witness a hobbled Big Ben entering the playoffs in bad shape physically. And if your home field advantage is clinched and you are starting two rookie OLs, why would you risk an injury to your franchise QB?

I agree with this, but it doesn't mean that anyone is going to blow up (just look at last week). This team is beat up, the Bears D is still pretty good, so even if the starters play all game it could be another relatively low-scoring affair.Also, I don't think the starters have to play the whole game for them to feel good about where they are- if they play 1/2 or 3/4s well, that may be good enough for them. I really think playing time is a bit of a concern here, and the fact that they play after almost everyone else makes for a tough call for a lot of owners.
 
Taking this thread one step further if I may......

For the rest of this year and going forward in a non-ppr 10-team dynasty league who would you rather have James Jones or Randall Cobb?

I'm leaning Cobb!

 
Cobb is out Wk17 and Nelson is on return duties

Which receiver do you guys like? Someone has to catch some balls.
