Lineup Help.... Lions vs. Bears
Greetings,

I am in dire need of some lineup help for Week 7. Here is my team...

Matt Stafford
Christian Ponder
Larry Fitzgerald
Calvin Johnson
Torrey Smith
Jamaal Charles
DeMarco Murray
Ahmad Bradshaw
Rashard Mendenhall
Antonio Gates
Aaron Hernandez
Bears D/ST
Jason Hanson

Jamaal Charles and Antonio Gates are both on a bye this week. Furthermore, DeMarco Murray is out, and Hernandez, Mendenhall, and Bradshaw are all questionable. Assuming they will play, what should my lineup look like?

I have a feeling Matt Stafford is going to get torn up by the Bears D/ST. Calvin and Hanson will most likely get a respectable amount of points regardless? So should I start Ponder over Stafford along with the Bears D? Or pick up another defense and start all my Lions players?

My options are pretty limited this week so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for the help!

Regards,
Willis

    QB Stafford (might throw a pick or two but he'll be ok, if you play Bears D it'll negate the negative points)
    RB Bradshaw, Mendenhall (both will play this week and both have decent matchups)
    WR Fitzgerald, Johnson (both will get their points, no matter the D)
    TE Hernandez (listed on injury report but I think his role will be expanded this week, he did well last week and had a limited snap count)
    Flex Smith (not really any other options here)
    K Hanson (he always finds a way to produce and is a good long range kicker)
    D Bears (best D in fantasy, play them every week)

    Hope this helps.

    start Stafford, Calvin, Fitz, I'd start Bradshaw too, he's just getting some rest, but there are no indications that he will not most of the carries... start the Bears with confidence.
