Need lineup help for championship game!

Hey guys,

Looking for some advice here. Aaron Rodgers has been my starting QB all year long and has been one of the best in fantasy football. However, yesterday I picked up Matt Schaub. In my ESPN league Rodgers is projected to rack up 14 points versus Schaub's 13. However, Rodgers is facing Chicago -- who he struggled against last time -- and Schaub is facing Oakland, who Matt Cassell was able to tear apart. What should I do? Would it be stupid to start Schaub on a whim?

Schaub

I think you’re OK either way. Schaub has the hotter hand though and the more favorable match-up Namdi aside (that is more an Andre Johnson problem).

Rodgers didn’t so much struggle as his team blew out the Bears 37-3 with Ryan Grant running all over them. I’d expect a tighter Bears defense with the Bears still in the play-off/divsion chase at 8-6

Barber or Gore?

Gore has the better match-up but neither may end up playing. Otherwise I have to pull someone of the wire. Any idea if either will play?

Also, Berrian or Hines Ward?

Can anybody help me?

Yuck

Barber has barely practiced this week and faces the Ravens. I wouldn’t start him. Gore is a game time decision and I am betting he sits.

But if you start Barber and he sits/sucks, you have no other options. If you sit Barber, you can still scramble late to get a RB in if Gore is inactive.
