So I'm up 43 points heading into week 2 in the semifinals and checking the waiver wire. I'm debating whether this is the time to start adding handcuffs to protect my guys, and looking to cut potential dead weight. So here's my roster.

QB: Luck
RB: Lynch, Forsett, J. Hill, L. Murray, R. Mathews
WR: Julio, Beckham, Benjamin, Stills
TE: D. Allen, H. Miller
DP: B. Marshall
Team D: Rams, Ravens

My first question is, should I be protecting any of my guys at this point with a handcuff? My second question is, how do you feel about Moncrief? Stills had a bad game because Brees did, but he still has some juicy matchups and I still think he's Brees #1 guy, not to mention the big play potential. What would be your strategy at this stage? Would you be looking to drop any of these guys to cut dead weight? I'll tell you I'm down to about 4 more waiver moves I can make before running out of auction money.

I'll tell you now, I'm planning on dropping Miller to grab the Eagles team D, because in two weeks they're playing the Redskins. However, the Rams get the Giants that same week so I could forget it and roll with them. However, grabbing the Eagles would keep my likely opponent from being able to stream a nice matchup for their team D. However, if you guys think I'm over analyzing this,I can go a different route.

Give it to me guys. You guys have been great helping me out in my first year play fantasy, and I'm on the verge of being in the championship.

I don't think the Eagles should be a priority, but if you feel confident enough with Dwayne Allen here on out, I wouldn't laugh at you.

No, don't worry about hand cuffs. You have depth at RB.

I like Moncrief and am starting him in my 3 WR league, but he and Stills is a crap shoot.

Harry Douglas might be a good pickup just in case Julio is out. Right now it looks like he's not so bad, but you never know. Roddy is banged up as well. That is not a bad matchup for WRs against the Steelers. If nothing else, you're making a block.
