I am usually pretty good with making my decisions but this week has me baffled a little. This is for the Championship so there is no room for error. I have:

Marc Bulger @ home vs Washington
Matt Hasselbeck @ home vs San Diego
Jay Cutler @ home vs Cincinnati

I have tried to make a case for each one but it seems that all have their negatives.

Bulger has been so inconsistent the past few weeks I can't afford to take another week like had last time out. Will I get the 300 yd 3 TD Bulger or the 150 yd no TD Bulger.
Hasselbeck is playing San Diego who has a pretty good defense. However, their run D is better than their pass so I can see Seattle throwing the ball a lot.
Cutler has been decent fantasy wise the last 3 weeks but he is a rookie and can't fully trust him. However, the Bengals have the worst pass D in the league.

This is driving me crazy so any opinions would be welcomed.

That is a tough decision indeed. I went through the same justifications in my head as you have.

As crazy as it seems I'd go with Cutler, simply because of how bad the Bengals defense is.

The site I use for fantasy (rotoworld.com) have them ranked as follows for this week:
4) Bulger
10) Hasselbeck
12) Cutler

They really like Bulger against the Redskins apparently weak pass defense.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will go with Bulger and pray. The one thing I do have going for me is that I have Tomlinson.

I would go with Bulger as well, but Cutler does have a nice matchup!

By chance are you "mrblitz" over at fantasyfootballcafe? I knew your avatar looked familiar from somewhere!

Nope, not mrblitz. Thanks for your input as well. I think I am going to go with Bulger.

Bulger is the correct choice. He usually gets at least 200+ yards or 2 TDs.

Good thing you went with Bulger ... he is tearing it up!! at almost the 4th quarter he has 251 yards and 4 TD's ..... My opponent has him starting today as well and is KILLING me right now!!

4 TD's and almost 400 yards, I would say you made the right choice.

I needed every one of the 52 pts he gave me in that league. I am up by 39 and he has Terry Glenn left. I think I should win. With the way some of my other decisions went yesterday in other leagues, this one eases the pain.
