Figured I'd start a thread for help for myself, but anyone else that's also in can also look for advice.

This is the league with all my best friends from childhood and grade school, so this is for pride, bragging rights, and the money.

Need to start two backs (no flex):  

Devonta Freeman- hasn't done much running it lately, but does his pass catching make him a solid start?  Panthers are slightly above average in PPG given up to fantasy RBs.

Doug Martin- Bears give up something like the 8th-most points to fantasy running backs.

Jeremy Hill- first round pick has only really had value when he scores multiple TDs, which isn't very reliable, but it will be cold in Denver, and I doubt we want to get into a shootout.  Plus, Hue came out and said that the fumble wasn't Hill's fault, so sounds like he might lean on him this week.

Karlos Williams is available on the waiver wire, which the person I'm playing also had McCoy, who is currently ruled out, but he's ahead of me in waiver priority, so I'm thinking he'll pick him up, but then Tim Hightower is also on the wire, which having Brees on my team might be stupid to start both because they limit each other's opportunities, but I think he's picking up pace and could do big things?

Thoughts?

DEF/ST, I put in a waiver to claim the Dolphins and drop the Pats, so is that a good idea?

Martin is a lock. You start him. Do not start Hill. Hill has been awful this season and the Broncos will sell out against the run to make McCarron throw against their great secondary. Their defense is very good. I like Williams over Hightower. 

Also, never worry about starting two players from the same team. This is just a myth. You start who you think scores you the most points. Period. 

Never trust the Dolphins, even against the hapless Colts.
