Calling for time sensitive advice. Is the Bryce Brown 30 point scorer of weeks 12 and 13 going to show up tonight, or we looking at the nothing that showed up in week 14? Would you start Moreno vs Bal over him? ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Would you start Moreno vs Bal over him? Moreno all the way. The Bengals defense is more formidable than it looks and Moreno has the hot hand. ---

I didn’t think I had scraped through the Big League game as I trailed going into MNF. Made the mistake of having a Thursday player in the flex spot, not that it’s a major issue in that league. ---

Started Greg Jennings over James Jones. Should have dropped Jennings in week 2. But at least it still looks like I’ll advance in the Auction League. ---

Here’s hoping for 2 points worth of stat corrections! ---

Now I take on **Jules** and his hideously overpowered team in the Auction League. I’ll need everyone on my team to outperform AND everyone on **Jules** ’ team to underperform to even have a chance. ---

Well, I’m down 8 points, and I can either play the Titans or Jets defense. Which would you go with? ---

Titans D for me. The 'Ets seem to have some Offense issues. 😛 So do the Titans, but the Jets’ very poor O trumps their slightly better D vs the Titan’s slightly better O for me. YMMV, DBMIYL\* \*don’t blame me if you lose I won one of my playoff games by one point, so I’m off to my SB. In my other league, in my consolation game, I got blown out like I was the Giants! ---

I’ll need everyone on my team to outperform AND everyone on **Jules** ’ team to underperform to even have a chance. Nice reverse jinx! It’s a shame my QB gamble failed so miserably. I’d feel confident if I had a decent guy there. Instead, I’ll end up losing because it doesn’t make any sense. ---
