This up coming Sunday marks the final week of the regular season for many fantasy football leagues. For those of you that have Cedric Benson on your fantasy team it is time to get him in your starting roster.

For the past two weeks Benson has not played because of a hip problem that caused the team to sign Larry Johnson from free agency. Johnson, as we all know was shipped out of the Chiefs’ organization because of his disturbing comments on Twitter.

The Bengals gave Johnson a second chance and last week he ran for over 100 yards against the Browns. In that game Johnson didn’t start as Bernard Scott was Benson original backup and start both games in Benson’s absence.

During the game against the Browns, Scott suffered a turf toe injury and Johnson took over to finish the game.

Distribution of Carries

Head Coach Marvin Lewis made it known to everyone early this week that Benson would play this Sunday against the Lions and would start. Lewis and teammates cited that this team is Benson’s team and now that he is healthy it is his starting job to have back.

This only makes sense as Benson was having a Pro Bowl season before he was injured and has earned the job, without question.

Backing up Coach Lewis’s words, Benson practiced in full for every day of practice this week. This was the first time he had done so since before his injury week ten against the Steelers.

Now the only questions that remain are how much work will Benson get, and how much work will Johnson receive in fill in time?

Fantasy Football Outlook

Assuming Benson doesn’t suffer a setback, he should get most of the touches until the game is well in hand. Since the Bengals are playing the Lions this week I would expect them to have the game put away early in the fourth quarter.

Look for Johnson to pound out the final series or two of the game when the team has the win well in hand. Other than that Johnson will probably give Benson a breather here and there during the game.

I would expect Benson to have no less than 85 yards rushing and one touchdown in this easy rushing contest. Johnson could put up similar numbers as he will face the Lions’ defense at the end of the game when they are tired.

Benson is a must start for fantasy owners and Johnson makes for a sneaky flex option as well.

After this game, I don’t see Johnson as much of a fantasy option until they face the Chiefs week 16. Johnson has that game penciled in as a pay back game, and I’m sure Coach Lewis will give him at least twelve touches and a touchdown opportunity for his hard work.

What a game it was to see the Saints’ stomp all over the Patriots in all phases of the game. Drew Brees headlined a monumental victory that has now officially landed New Orleans on the map of true elite football teams.

As for Tom Brady and the Patriots, I haven’t given up hope for them to make a playoff run but the defense needs to step it up.

Below we have a short right up on the top ten teams on our power rankings for this season. These teams are important to know as they are playing well and should continue to help fantasy teams.

Furthermore, pay attention to the worst teams on the list as they are the teams you want to have your players going against down the stretch.

1. Saints (11-0)

After a huge decisive win against the New England Patriots the Saints are now a top our NFL Power Rankings once again. Drew Brees probably won the MVP award after he blasted the Patriots’ defense for five touchdowns and 371 yards passing on only 23 pass attempts!

This was an amazing performance and is one of those games that will be looked back on for a long time when people mention Brees and the Saints from this era. Look for New Orleans to roll over the Redskins next week and move to twelve and zero.

2. Colts (11-0)

The Colts haven’t won games in a pretty fashion the last month or so but they have won all their games. The Saints were this way until they stomped on the Patriots in a big time national televised game.

This up coming week the Colts will host the Titans in a big time clash of two strong teams. Look for the Colts to find a way to pull out another close victory.

3. Vikings (10-1)

It’s almost hard to remember the Steelers actually beating this team because the Vikings have played so well since that game. I actually had to look back at the schedule just to remember who actually beat this great team from Minnesota.

The Steelers had a few lucky turnovers and won the game in the fourth quarter, and I would suspect that is the only way a team can beat this squad. The Vikings are firing on all cylinders and are taking no prisoner’s.

Expect them to beat the Cardinals in Arizona this weekend by a decent margin.

4. Chargers (8-3)

This is a team I truly thought would never reach the top five teams in the NFL power rankings after the first month of play. Since losing to the Broncos in week six the Chargers haven’t lost a game and are winning in convincing fashion.

I fully expect them to smash the Browns next week in Cleveland. Get your fantasy football players in for that game.

5. Bengals (8-3)

After a quick dip to the Raiders two weeks ago the Bengals polished off the Browns at home. With Cedric Benson out the team turned to Bernard Scott and Larry Johnson to put the game away.

Both running backs had strong games and Johnson ran for over 100 yards. This week Benson is back and Scott has turf toe, so expect the Bengals to run Johnson and Benson together. There is no reason they shouldn’t beat the Lions this weekend.

6. Cowboys (8-3)

The Cowboys need to beat the Giants this weekend if they are going to win their division. Dallas has already lost to the Giants this year, and if they lose this game, they will only be one win better than the Giants.

That means if the Giants should mount a comeback and have the same record as Dallas than they will win the division. Look for the Cowboys to run the football and control the clock on the road.

7. Patriots (7-4)

Watching the Patriots get rolled over by the Saints only goes to show you that this team does not have the defense to be a Super Bowl team right now. I will never put it past this organization to put a run together in the playoffs but right now they are not a top five team in the NFL power rankings.

8. Cardinals (7-4)

The Cardinals lost a heart breaker to the Titans without Kurt Warner on the field. This weekend they may be without Warner again as they take on the Vikings at home. If the Cardinals lose this week and the 49ers win, than next week will be a huge game between the two in San Francisco.

It’s still a long shot for the 49ers to win the division, but if they do beat the Cardinals next week they will have the season sweep against them. If both teams comedown to a tie in record at the end than the 49ers would win the division in that scenario.

9. Eagles (7-4)

The Eagles pulled out a win against the lonely Redskins, but they had to do it in comeback fashion. In that game DeSean Jackson suffered a concussion and may miss this weeks tilt against the Falcons in Atlanta.

Even if Jackson is out I expect the Eagles to win the game with Matt Ryan and Michael Turner likely out.

10. Broncos (7-4)

The Broncos were able to stop their four game skid on Thanksgiving against Giants and won in convincing fashion. It looks like quarterback Kyle Orton is back and healthy as he had no problems finding his receivers all game long.

Expect the Broncos to make quick work of the Chiefs this weekend in Kansas City.

• 11. Packers (7-4)
• 12. Ravens (6-5)
• 13. Steelers (6-5)
• 14. Titans (5-6)
• 15. Giants (6-5)
• 16. Jaguars (6-5)
• 17. Falcons (6-5)
• 18. Texans (5-6)
• 19. 49ers (5-6)
• 20. Dolphins (5-6)
• 21. Jets (5-6)
• 22. Seahawks (5-6)
• 23. Panthers (4-7)
• 24. Bears (4-7)
• 25. Bills (4-7)
• 26. Chiefs (3-8)
• 27. Redskins (3-8)
• 28. Raiders (2-9)
• 29. Lions (2-9)
• 30. Buccaneers (1-10)
• 31. Browns (1-10)
• 32. Rams (1-10)

Last week Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a concussion in an overtime loss to the Chiefs. Once Roethlisberger left the game, the team turned the rains over to steady veteran Charlie Batch to finish the game.

Unfortunately, for the Steelers, Batch suffered a wrist injury and will be out for the rest of the regular season. Because of this key injury, the team is now left with inexperienced but talented young quarterback Dennis Dixon to backup Roethlisberger.

Likely In, Likely Out

For most of the week, it looked like the Steelers would have their star quarterback under center for an all important game on Sunday night against the Ravens. Roethlisberger passed all medical tests and was given a clear bill of health to play but in spite of all that Big Ben told his coach, he might not play on Friday.

Roethlisberger needed to sleep on his decision to play and on Saturday mourning Fox sports Jay Glazer broke the news that the Steelers would be without their star quarterback for this week’s game.

Now Pittsburgh is faced with starting 2nd year quarterback Dixon who has thrown one completion (last year) in his short NFL career.

In the Heat of the Night

While Dixon had a fabulous career with the Oregon Ducks he will now be tested against one of the best defenses the NFL has to offer in his first career start. The Ravens thrive on playing offenses that have problems stretching the field with the deep passing game.

If the Steelers are not able to make the Ravens’ respect the passing game down the field than Ed Reed and the secondary players will sit on the Steelers short passing routes.

Not only that but when the Ravens are able to play that kind of game you can forget about running the football with regular effectiveness.

One of Dixon’s weapons that should give the Ravens problems is his ability to move out of the pocket and pick up first downs with his legs.

The main question for Dixon is will he be able to handle playing at the NFL speed?

Fantasy Outlook

Unless you don’t have good options on your bench, I would suggest you bench your Steeler fantasy players for this contest. We don’t know what Dixon will be able to do, but in a game like this, on the road, the odds are that it won’t be good.

That is not to say that Dixon can’t be a good quarterback in the future but in this game, I’m not sure he can sustain drives down the field to give fantasy owners the stats they need for success.

Next week the Steelers will face the Raiders in Pittsburgh and in that game if Dixon is in you should definitely get your main players in.

This week Falcons running back Jason Snelling will make for a sneaky play in survivor fantasy if Michael Turner is still out with his ankle injury. Another solid player should be Chiefs wide receiver Chris Chambers, and he returns to San Deigo and plays the Chargers.

Finding fantasy football players that aren’t house hold names for productivity can help you win in all fantasy football formats.

Week 12 in the NFL is all about the Monday night contest between the Saints and Patriots. No doubt we should see a shootout that should rival the Patriots vs Colts’ game we saw a few week’s ago.

This week we have our weekly section on wounded warriors, as well as our top rankings for top position players. We have the top 16 ranked QB, TE, K and D/ST ranked. We also have the top 30 RB’s and top 35 WR’s as well.

Wounded Warriors

Quarterbacks

Lions- Matthew Stafford- Unfortunately, Matthew Stafford injured his collar bone in the Lions come from behind victory against the Browns. Even more disappointing for Stafford is that he was just starting to find his grove with over 400 yards passing and five touchdowns in that game.

It looks like Stafford will miss this week’s early contest on Thanksgiving, but he will hopefully be back for week 13.

Broncos- Kyle Orton- The Broncos starting quarterback Kyle Orton didn’t start the game against the Chargers, but it did finish it. On Monday Orton practiced with the team and should play on Thanksgiving against the Giants.

Steelers- Ben Roethlisberger- The Steelers star quarterback suffered a concussion in over time against the Chiefs. So far, signs look good for Ben Roethlisberger’s odds of playing this week at Baltimore.

If he is unable to go than Dennis Dixon will get the start because Charlie Batch is out for the next six weeks.

Cardinals- Kurt Warner- The Cardinals lost Kurt Warner to a mild concussion against the Rams in the first half. It looks like Warner should play against the Titans, but if he is unable to go than Matt Leinart would start.

Rams- Marc Bulger- Just as the Rams were starting to play some solid football, they lose their starting quarterback for three to six weeks with a fractured tibia. This will probably end Marc Bulger’s season as the team will look to Kyle Boller the rest of the way.

Running Backs

Falcons- Michael Turner- The Falcons are still playing mind games about Michael Turner’s status. At this time, I would say he won’t be a go, unless he can practice in full at some point this week. The likely hood of him playing or practicing this week is not strong.

Look for Turner to probably not play as Jason Snelling will have a great start this week against the Buccaneers.

Bengals- Cedric Benson- It’s unknown if Cedric Benson will play this week against division rival Cleveland Browns. Just like Michael Turner’s situation, I believe we will need to see Benson practice in order for him to play.

If Benson doesn’t play this week than Bernard Scott should have another productive day against the Browns.

Seahawks- Julius Jones- The news on Monday from Seattle is that Julius Jones is supposed to come back to practice this week. Being able to practice and handling contact are two separate things for Jones in his situation.

Against the Cardinals, he injured his ribs and had been bleeding in his lung.

Look for Jones to practice but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t play this weekend. If he does suit up this week I would be very surprised if he starts over Justin Forsett.

Bills- Marshawn Lynch- The Bills lost their starting running back in the middle of last week’s game against the Jaguars. For now, the Bills are saying that Marshawn Lynch is day to day with a shoulder injury.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lynch plays this week against the Dolphins but check his status before their early game on Sunday.

Wide Receivers

Lions- Calvin Johnson- This is probably the most unfortunate injury of the week as Calvin Johnson was just getting his grove back. In Johnson’s great performance against the Browns, he injured his hand and knee again.

Right now, it is believed that he is very doubtful to play in the Lions early Thursday game on Thanksgiving. Hopefully, the Lions and fantasy football owners will get Johnson back for week 13.

Dwayne Bowe was suspended today, November 17th, for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances. The suspension will last for the next four weeks and will no doubt effect fantasy football lineups across the world.

Fantasy Shakedown

In light of this suspension fantasy owners should look to receiver Chris Chambers to receive a bump in fantasy value. Now that Bowe is off the team for awhile, Chambers will receive more looks from quarterback Matt Cassel.

Look for Chambers to be a good bet for solid production most weeks during this four game stretch.

In Chambers first two games with his new team he has produced six receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns. These are solid numbers considering Chambers hasn’t been with the Chiefs for two full weeks yet.

As far as Bowe is concerned you may want to hold onto him for the final weeks of the fantasy season. He is still a talented receiver and plays the Browns and Bengals the final two weeks of the fantasy season.

The Kansas City Chiefs have continued to fight all season long, and today they pulled out a victory against the Raiders. This victory is a testament to a team that hasn’t given up on their coaches’ message and are starting to play some good football.

Jamaal Charles Steps Up

At least for this week the Chiefs’ ownership can feel good about the way their young running backs played. Last week the team released Larry Johnson after his comments on Twitter that stirred up the NFL.

Charles blasted through the Raiders’ defense for an explosive 44-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. For the game Charles had 18 carries for 103 yards and the touchdown score.

Look for Charles to continue to be the main man in the Chiefs’ committee at running back as we go forward. The Chiefs haven’t given up on their coaching staff, and I believe they will continue to play competitively in the future.

Michael Bush Goes Over 100 Yards

The Raiders can’t seem to figure out who they want to have as their top running back on their team. Between Michael Bush, Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden it seems a new runner steps up at different times of the year.

Bush had a strong game today with over 100 yards today, but I don’t believe he can repeat it next week.

Stay away from the Raiders for fantasy football options for a few more weeks and see if something shakes out down the road.

The Bengals beat the Steelers this week, and now they have a commanding lead in the AFC North. If Cincinnati can beat the Browns in two weeks from now they will have swept their division for the season.

The Bengals are 7 and 2

This wasn’t a pretty win for the Bengals, but they got it none the less.

Cedric Benson left the game in the first half with a hip injury and played only one more play in the game. On that play Benson took a carry to the outside and had a very noticeable limp when going around the edge.

After the game Benson said he will rest on the injury and is hopeful he can play this coming weekend against the Raiders.

If he is out (don’t be surprised if he is) than the Bengals will lean on rookie running back Bernard Scott to carry the load.

Steelers Offense Shut Down

The Steelers offense is having a very solid season but this game was not theirs. The Bengals defense allowed them to move the football but put the clamps on them inside the red zone.

This great effort on defense forced the Steelers to settle for field goals and that cost them the game.

Look for this offense to have a big performace next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings writer Sean E. Douglas: fantasy-info.com

This week’s waiver wire is headlined by wide receiver Chris Chambers. Chambers was released by the Chargers last week and then signed days later with the Chiefs.

I personally wondered if Chambers was done because he didn’t produce much in the Chargers passing game.

This past weekend Chambers proved other wise as he had two touchdowns and should help the Chiefs improve.

Below we have the top players you might want to pay attention to, for waiver pickups. Even if you don’t select a waiver (or have already done so) it’s good to keep these names in mind for the future weeks.

Quarterbacks

Titans- Vince Young

I suggested that fantasy owners grab Vince Young off the waiver wire last week, and I’m doing so again. The Titans have turned things around in the past two weeks and are starting to finally get their team healthy.

Young is progressing as a quarterback and has three talented receivers to throw to. He also has Chris Johnson out of the backfield and Young can still score on the ground.

Running Backs

Raiders- Darren McFadden

Many fantasy football owners have already given up on Raiders running back Darren McFadden and cut him weeks ago. This week McFadden is back at practice from his knee injury and is expected to start against the Chiefs.

As long as McFadden doesn’t have a setback this week in practice I would suggest you grab him off the waver wire. McFadden has had lots of success against the Chiefs in his first two years in the league.

Redskins- Ladell Betts

It is already being reported that Clinton Portis will likely miss this weekend’s game against the Broncos because of a concussion. This means backup Ladell Betts will get the starting job and is a sneaky one week play for fantasy owners.

Betts helped fantasy owners a few years ago in getting to the fantasy playoffs, and he had a respectable game last week against the Falcons. If you need a decent flex play option for this weekend you could do worse than Betts.

Wide Receivers

Chiefs- Chris Chambers

Last week was a busy one for wide receiver Chris Chambers. First he was released by the San Diego Chargers and then was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs. On Sunday Chambers played his first game with the Chiefs and had three receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns.

The Chiefs aren’t a very good team and will give up a good amount of points most weeks. This means the Chiefs will have to throw the football.

NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings writer Sean E. Douglas: fantasy-info.com

This was a big game for both teams as a victory would mean the lead in the NFC East. While the game was close throughout the Cowboys had the answer in the end and one on a touchdown pass to Miles Austin.

Cowboys Role to First Place

Last year the Cowboys were crushed at the end of the season when they went to Philadelphia and played the Eagles. This time around Dallas won the game 20 to 16 and now have a four game winning streak.

This winning streak has been headlined by emerging No.1 receiver Austin Miles and his terrific play. Ever since his monster game against the Chiefs, Miles has been almost unstoppable as he has a touchdown in all four games.

Tonight the Eagles were close to shutting him down as they held Miles without a catch until late in the game. Miles one catch was for 49 yards and was the winning score.

Quarterback Tony Romo has been almost perfect in his past three games and is improving in his decision making with the football.

Big Bird Shot Down

The Eagles’ offense is completely reliant on the big play and tonight the Cowboys’ defense could shut it down. If this team is going to the playoffs this year they need to get their running game going to have something to fall back on.

Running back LeSean McCoy didn’t have a bad night, but he’s clearly not able to handle the rock 25 times a game. This team needs Brian Westbrook back, and he should be on the field next week or the week after.

I thought at one point, Westbrook would play this week, but he had headaches on Friday and the team wisely kept him out.
