Hi Guru-

Need your expert advice.  Heading into tonight's game, I am currently down by 5.74 points.  My opponent have one player left on his roster... Hakeem Nicks.  Whereas, I have two players left on my roster... Miles Austin and Osi Umenyiora.  I'm confident that Miles Austin will have a great game tonight, especially w/Dallas being desperate for a win.  However, you never know what you may get from Eli Manning... so I am very cautious of H. Nicks production tonight.  He may or may not put up huge numbers.  Therefore, I think that if I'm going to win... I will need good production from Osi to make up my deficit and then some.  However, I do have a wild card.  I decided to leave one of my DB spots vacant since Bernard Pollard was on bye and did not want to send him to waivers.  Do you think I should risk dropping B. Pollard for Terrell Thomas which should guarantee enough production to get a victory? Or, should I stick with my two guys (M. Austin and Osi Umenyiora) and hope for the best?  I really do not want to drop Pollard, especially since DeMeco Ryans is out for the season.  Your thoughts...

Scoring system:

Tackle solo - 1pt
Tackle assist - 0.5pt
Sack - 2pt
Int. - 2pt
Forced fumbles & recoveries - 2pts
Def Td - 6pt
