Another playoff fantasy football challenge is upon us as drafts are going on throughout this week, in preparation for the beginning of the post season on Saturday. While I put together player rankings for each position to get you set for the wild-card round, I've gone ahead and put together a cheat sheet for all players in the entire playoffs. While many of you will likely play on ESPN, NFL.com or other maj ...

Isaac Redman @ Broncos -  Now that the news is official that Rashard Mendenhall has a torn ACL, we can go ahead and label Isaac Redman the top running back in Pittsburgh's backfield, throughout the playoffs. Redman has played well when called upon this season, and his nineteen carries for 92 yards and a score last week against the Browns, is encouraging for his prospects going forward. While Redman was Mend ...

Calvin Johnson @ Saints -  Perhaps it's best to pass on Calvin Johnson if you're in a playoff fantasy contest that rewards bonus points in future rounds, on winning teams, as it's likely, the Lions will lose, but that's a hard thing to do. Johnson had a slow stretch when Matthew Stafford was struggling with a broken finger on his throwing hand but in the past three weeks, Johnson has totaled 560 yards (two ...

Eli Manning vs. Falcons - While the Saints vs. Lions will receive a tone of hype as being the game with the most potential for a high score points feast, the Giants should be in a touchdown scoring slug-fest of their own against the Falcons. The Giants are on a role and with Eli Manning having arguably his best season as a pro, he should be a lock for over 350 yards passing and three touchdowns against an A ...

Jimmy Graham vs. Lions -  When it comes to selecting a tight end for the first round of the 2012 playoff fantasy football contest, it has to begin and end with Jimmy Graham of the Saints. Only one player at this position was better than Graham, in Rob Gronkowski through the regular season, and he had a touchdown record setting year at the position. Not only are the Saints a high-scoring offense, but they wi ...

For those of you that are new to playoff fantasy football, the name of the game is basically to not just select the highest scoring players for this week, but you want to choose players who have better odds to advance to the next round. Some websites will put a salary cap for your squad, with dollar values for each player. Other sites may allow you to pick anyone available, but you have to decide which play ...

The final game of the 2010 - 2011 NFL football season is also our final article for fantasy on the year. The Packers and Steelers will kick it off early in February as both teams are two of the more popular in all of football. For the Packers, they are back for the first time since losing that memorable Super Bowl to John Elway and the Broncos in the 90's. The Steelers will be looking for their third Super ...

After a surprising Jets up set over the Patriots it is time for the final four teams to square off for the right to play in the Super Bowl. Only the Jets return as one of the Championship round teams from a year ago, and they have done so both seasons playing on the road. For playoff fantasy football, you have to look at Aaron Rodgers as the best fantasy player to have. His performance against the Falcons w ...

It was just last year that the Jets rode little known rookie running back, Shonn Greene, all the way to the AFC Championship game. Even though Greene posted two big games, he had a great offensive line, and it wasn't like the Jets couldn't run the football in the regular season as Thomas Jones enjoyed a Pro Bowl caliber season. What separated Greene from Jones was that he could make the big play for a touch ...

Three weeks ago Michael Vick and the Eagles were on cloud nine after a thrilling, “come from behind” victory over the New York Giants. With this win, and their electric offense, the Eagles looked to be one of the top contenders heading to the Super Bowl. For all the talk and high hopes, the Eagles found themselves on the turf the following week, while the Vikings' sucker punched them, for a loss on Tuesday ...
