Chris (Greenville, SC)

Hello again. I just happen to be in the championship game in two leagues this weekend and need some advice.

First of all, I know the Titans D/ST is usually a must-start, but since many, if not all, starters will be given the weekend off, would you still feel confident about a second-team D/ST going against Jim Sorgi and a second-team Colts offense? On the same note, with both teams facing big matchups this weekend, which D/ST would you suggest between a tough Miami D/ST and a reeling Bucs D/ST that will be looking for redemption?

Moving on, I have three great RBs in LaDainian Tomlinson, Matt Forte and Brian Westbrook. All of them have something to play for this weekend, but which two are the best choices for starters? In another league, I still have Kevin Faulk, but with Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan currently ahead of him on the Patriots' depth chart, is he still worth starting with Brandon Jacobs and Joseph Addai likely to be taking an early seat and Pierre Thomas currently considered questionable?

Lastly, I really had no intentions of starting Hines Ward or Santonio Holmes this weekend with a meaningless game and plenty of rest ahead of them. So, with that in mind, even with his disappointing numbers over the past few weeks, is Lance Moore still worth one last start in the Saints home finale against the Panthers?

Thank you for all your help this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in 2009.

I wouldn't mind playing the Titans reserves against Jim Sorgi. I suspect that Tennessee won't force many turnovers, but they'll keep the Colts offense held to very few points.

Tampa Bay against Oakland is an excellent matchup in your other league even if Tampa Bay is struggling right now. I think they're a great play this week especially facing a must win game.

I've been preaching all year to wait for L.T. because he'll have that breakout game. and sure enough he's been consistent the last several weeks and I believe that will continue. I think he'll help lead the Chargers to the playoffs. San Diego is facing a Denver defense that has been consistently bad for most of the year and the Chargers will definitely be able to score points on them. I think guys like Tomlinson, Phillip Rivers, Darren Sporles, and Vincent Jackson are solid plays this week.

Your in a tough situation at running back in league No. 2. I would probably lean towards playing Kevin Faulk because he's such a factor in New England's passing game. He should see more touches than either Brandon Jacobs or Joseph Addai. I wouldn't be shocked to see both Jacobs and Addai not even suit up.

I definitely think Lance Moore is worth starting this week. I think Sean Payton is going to call a lot of passing plays and they'll do everything they can to get Drew Brees the single season passing yardage record.

Good luck this week.
