FFB Playoffs! Sit Forte?!?!?!

[bigbluecolt93]

Playoffs start this week for fantasy, and I'm pumped. I stole away the 1 seed and I play a team that features Andre Johnson and Larry Fitz in a PPR league. Here is a big decision for me. Forte has killed most owners in regular leagues, but he's still quite useful in a PPR league. My starting RBs now are Forte and Hightower (also useful in PPR). Do I dare sit Forte/Hightower and gamble on Lynch or Ganther? Pick two of these guys:

Matt Forte vs. GB (2nd fewest points allowed to RBs)
TIm Hightower @ AZ (MNF)
Marshawn Lynch @ KC
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. PHI (SNF)
Quintin Ganther @ OAK

Oakland has the 30th rated run defense and the 18th rated pass defense. I would start Ganther along with Hightower.

Although I think Chicago must throw to the RB's to have a chance to win their game, I would gamble on Ganther.

Ganther will start, but I'm worried if Cartwright will take away carries from Ganther. Cartwright is a pretty good pass catcher, so any passing situations, they'd likely take Ganther out...

Hope you went with Ganthers. 50 rush yds 2 TD, 43 rec yds.

I did. But it didn't matter anyway. I was the one seed, so good thing I was playing Andre Johnson in a PPR league in the first round. Also a good thing that nobody on my starting roster scored more than 10 points (Brady...Wayne...Driver...Witten...sigh.....) other than Ganther.
