Start’em Peyton Hillis vs. Steelers – For what it’s worth Peyton Hillis has played well of late, looking more like the running back from a year ago. After a 100-yard rushing performance by Steven Jackson, last week against the Steelers, fantasy owners should feel confident that Hillis is at least a flex play in standard [...]

Running Backs Evan Royster – With Roy Helu’s injuries giving him problems partaking in full practices, Coach Mike Shanahan decided to hold him out and go with fellow rookie Evan Royster as the feature back. Royster responded with 132 yards rushing on nineteen carries against the Vikings defense. When it comes to Shanahan’s zone blocking [...]

Kahlil Bell @ Vikings – Heading into the Bears contest against the Broncos, Coach Lovie Smith paid third year back Kahlil Bell a compliment when he pointed out that Bell overall game was closer to that of Matt Forte, rather than Marion Barber. While Barber was the feature runner in Denver, poor play at the [...]

While Cruz [...]

Cam Newton @ Saints – With Cam Newton finishing the season just as strong as he started it, the debate amongst fantasy annalists and owners, should be a fun one this off-season as we question whether Newton should be the top-ranked quarterback for the 2012 season. While Newton has a clear edge over his competition [...]

Jason Witten @ Giants – If you look at Jason Witten’s body of work this season, he’s been a solid top five fantasy tight end. That said, Witten has failed to score a touchdown since week eleven and has total 47 yards or fewer in four of his last five games. Factor in that Tony [...]

In what could be a win for the division title and a first-round bye, expect the Steelers to use all the healthy normal starters they can suit up to play against the Browns this week. Even last week, without Ben Roethlisberger this defense posted a shutout against the Rams, and it’s likely they will hold [...]

After a disappointing return last week, if you happened to make it to the Super Bowl this week, it’s hard to sit Adrian Peterson this week. For what it’s worth, while other players like Sam Bradford and Ben Roethlisberger are likely out after playing on ankle injuries, Peterson seemed to come out of the loss [...]

Mark Anderson vs. Dolphins – With Andre Carter lost for the season, expect Mark Anderson to see an up tick in his snap count, as he came through with another great performance against the Broncos with two sacks, a forced fumble and a recovery. With the Dolphins coming to town, Anderson should have at least [...]

E.J. Biggers @ Panthers – With Aqib Talib done for the year, E.J. Biggers should have a starting job for the final two weeks of the season. This has been a tough year for IDP help out of Tampa, but Biggers has proven to be a respectable play when given a chance this year. Expect [...]
