Calling in the fantasy football cavalry

First of all, thanks so much to all of the Fake Teams writers and readers for their excellent advice so far this season. Thanks in part to your help, I made it into my week 16 and 17 playoffs as the #1 seed.

Normally, I wouldn't be taking it especially seriously--even though there is some money at stake--but I'm playing my arch-rival in the first round. You know this guy. He's the guy who turns your fantasy league into a political battle. Trying to get the votes to veto trades, always complaining about having keepers, complaining about draft stuff, scoring settings, etc. I NEED to beat him. This isn't about money, bragging rights, or anything like that. This is about good vs. evil.

Here's my current starting lineup and my bench. What would you do to ensure a victory this weekend?

QB: Romo
WR1: Hakeem Nicks
WR2: Laurent Robinson
RB1: LeSean McCoy
RB2: Ray Rice
TE: Dustin Keller
Flex: Michael Bush

Bench:
Mark Sanchez
Andre Johnson
James Jones
Demaryius Thomas
Peyton Hillis
Brent Celek
