Who do you trust? Fantasy football playoff edition

I still can't put my finger on this fantasy football season. I guess that means it's been one crazy ride.

Hopefully, you've made your way through the landmines and injuries of the season and found the playoffs.

Looking back, I really lucked out this season in getting Robert Griffin III in all three of my leagues. It wasn't by design, it's just how it happened. And, he was drafted as my backup in all three leagues as well.

With RG3 leading the way, it should be no surprise that I made the playoffs in all three leagues.

Here's where I stand:

14-team straight redraft: Third place overall, second overall in scoring. I had Michael Vick as my starting QB but switched to RG3 after two weeks and didn't look back. I cut Vick last week and picked up Brandon Weeden as my backup. I've been putting up the points despite having Darren McFadden and DeMarco Murray on my bench with injuries for the second half of the season. Eric Decker has worn out his welcome; I just can't trust the guy at this point. I've had Jason Witten since the start of the season, and he currently ranks third at TE in our PPR format.

12-team, one keeper: Second place overall, first overall in scoring. I secured a bye Monday when the person I was battling with lost by three points. It helped that he had Santana Moss. Of course, the week before, I lost by 1.5 points with James Jones getting me zero targets. It's a PPR, so that really hurt. As for my roster, I entered the season with Calvin Johnson as my keeper. I then drafted A.J. Green and Rob Gronkowski with my first two picks. Not bad -- until Gronk got hurt. I picked up Philip Rivers and RG3 back-to-back during the draft, and I started Rivers in Week 1. After that, it's been RG3, baby.

8-team, five keepers: Second place overall, first in scoring. I was heavy on running backs, so I took Tony Romo with my first pick (drafted sixth, so Trent Richardson and Doug Martin were gone). I snagged RG3 soon after. I traded for Matthew Stafford midseason, so I've been going with him and RG3 as my two starters at QB. Otherwise it's been a heavy dose of Arian Foster and LeSean McCoy (Bryce Brown, too).

As I set my roster in one league and scan waivers in the other two since I have byes, I have my eyes on T.Y. Hilton, Danario Alexander, Knowshon Moreno, Vick Ballard and Jonathan Dwyer.

I'm forgetting about the likes of Decker, Denarius Moore, Jermichael Finley, Steve Smith, Jacquizz Rodgers (at least at home, check out his splits) and Shonn Greene.

Good luck this week.

Week 7 in fantasy football has been crazy, and the games haven't even started yet

It's been a crazy week for fantasy football. I'm not sure I remember so much action at the trade deadline as the was this week.

Let's recap. The Broncos sent Brandon Lloyd to the Rams, who really could use a wide receiver. I don't think Lloyd's value goes down for the rest of the season, but I don't believe he'll recapture the magic he had last season when he led the league in yardage. And, if you're starting Lloyd this week like I am in one league, don't expect much. Sam Bradford likely will miss Sunday's game, so you really have to temper your expectations this week with Lloyd.

Carson Palmer was traded by the Bengals to the Raiders. It's been a couple of seasons since Palmer's been relevant, so I wouldn't expect great numbers from him. Don't expect him to start this week, either. There were reports earlier that said he would be the starter. I'd stay away from this QB situation for this week. After that, Palmer has a nice set of receivers to work with, but I wouldn't expect QB1 numbers from him. This is still a running team with Darren McFadden.

Ronnie Brown was traded, then the trade was voided. James Harrison, the other member in the deal, failed a physical. It was later reported Harrison has a brain tumor. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Harrison and we hope for a speedy recovery for him. The Lions wanted Brown, presumably to fill a void at RB created by Jahvid Best's concussion. I like Maurice Morris this week as a fill-in for Best. Remember, this is a pass-first offense, so don't expect Morris to put up monster numbers. He should be a good RB2 this week for you.

OK, now to my teams.

I'm sitting at 4-2 in my one redraft league. However, I'm encountering a terrible bye week. I have LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Hakeem Nicks on a bye, to go with the the Eagles defense. The trouble is, our bench in this 14-team league is only four players deep. So, in order to fill out a lineup, I cut Montario Hardesty, who should start this week, and Jonathan Stewart. I picked up Kevin Walter and James Jones as fill-ins at WR. I also picked up the Raiders defense and cut the Eagles defense. At my RB positions, I'm starting Jackie Battle and DeMarco Murray. I could be 4-3 after this week.

In my one-player keeper (5-1 record), I have Mike Vick on a bye. I picked up Curtis Painter and will start him over Kevin Kolb. I really don't trust Kolb. I'm benching Shonn Greene and rolling with Mike Tolbert and Mark Ingram at RB, while I'm going with Willis McGahee at my flex spot.

In my seven-player keeper league (4-2), my biggest lineup decision was to go with Earnest Graham at a flex spot with LeSean McCoy on a bye. Fred Davis was on the waiver wire earlier in the week and I picked him up to strengthen my bench.

Finally, in my other redraft league (5-1), I'm going with Cam Newton over Phil Rivers at QB again. No other great lineup decisions with more byes (Victor Cruz, Frank Gore, Fred Jackson).

Good luck this week. If you have any questions, comments or anything else, post them here. You can also hit me up on Twitter @green_rick.
