I am going up against the #1 seed who beat me twice during the regular season, both on flukes as he caught me in a bye week and another week where I had some injuries and he had the perfect storm as far as scoring, so I think I can win. I am in a 10 team yahoo PPR league, the rest of the scoring is Standard. Here is my team:
QB-Drew Brees-playing for #1 seed still
RB-Arian Foster-trying to win the rushing title
RB-Ryan Torain-not sure on this one
WR-Greg Jennings-playing for the playoffs
WR-Pierre Garcon-playing for playoffs
WR-Vincent Jackson-not sure on this one
TE-Chris Cooley-Rob Gronkowski is available on waivers
Flex-Mike Williams, TB-still has a shot at playoffs
K-Garrett Hartley
DEF-Atlanta-playing Carolina

Bench-I feel like my bench is stacked and this is where I get confused
RB-Joseph Addai, Felix Jones, Knowshon Moreno, Pierre Thomas(just picked him up today)
WR-Joe Webb(has wr eligiblity in yahoo, scored 20pts last night, could be a good flex)
WR-Andre Johnson-my best player, but hurt and not playing for anything.

So as you can see, I think I have a really strong team and can win this with the right combo of guys and would love some input from others. Just for fun, my opponents team is:
QB-Aaron Rodgers
RB-Jamal Charles
RB-LeShean McCoy
WR-Hines Ward
WR-Calvin Johnson
WR-Brandon Lloyd
TE-Vernon Davis
Flex-Lagarrette Blounte
K-Lawrence Tynes
Def-Baltimore
 
First of all I would definitely get Webb in your lineup as a WR since he is eligible at that position.

Normally I would prefer a RB at Flex; I find RBs typically score more and/or are more reliable/consistent than WRs. However I think I'd make an exception here; it's tough to pick one from your bench over Williams. If Ivory is still hurt for NO, I'd get Thomas in your lineup.

I'd go ahead and replace Cooley with Gronkowski.

I guess I'd go with this if it were up to me:
QB: Brees
RB: Foster, Thomas
WR: Jennings, Garcon, Webb
Flex: Williams
TE: Gronkwski

Tough to leave Andre Johnson and VJax out, but that'd be my choice. If Ivory can play for the Saints I think I might go with Addai instead of Thomas at RB, but it's a tough call with any of those three (Thomas, Addai, Torain).
