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 in the running game, my season-ending conclusion would be to rank him third or fourth next yea ...

Philip Rivers @ Lions - It appears Philip Rivers is finally healthy, or at least he's playing like the guy we remember from a year ago. While the past few weeks haven't presented the matchups that would allow Rivers to post huge numbers, this weeks' game against the Lions could be one of the wilder offensive performances on both sides of the football, we've seen all year. Because the Lions lack a running ga ...

Ben Roethlisberger @ 49ers - If you were to ask me if Ben Roethlisberger should be trusted against the 49ers before Sunday, I would have answered told you to look for other options. That still may be a good idea, as Big Ben's ankle is clearly hurting and unlike his acting performance against the Titans, Roethlisberger was in pain as he led his team to victory against the Browns. What changes my mind about R ...

Eli Manning @ Cowboys - Another week, another high scoring back and forth contest for Eli Manning and the Giants offense. While New York's schedule down the stretch hasn't worked out well in terms of wins and losses, fantasy owners are loving that Manning continues to find himself in matchups where he finds himself throwing for over 350 yards and three scores a game. Maybe Manning isn't one of the elite NFL ...

What started out as a "fluky" breakout season for Victor Cruz has turned into a full-blown top five fantasy performance this year, as the Giants "No.3 receiver" is on fire of late. With Mario Mannigham possibly out for the season, it's well past the time for all fantasy annalists and owners to consider Cruz a legit WR-1 option for the rest of the season. Audio: Week 13 Fantasy Podcast On Friday, Packers cor ...

Matt Ryan @ Texans - It's unfortunate that Matt Schaub nor Matt Leinart will be on the field for the Texans, because this matchup had the makings for a shootout. That said, Ryan has been on a hot streak of late as he's thrown for no less few than 262 yards in each of his past three games and at least 32 passing attempts in each game as well. I still knock the Falcons for not taking more shots down the field ...

Jay Cutler vs. Chargers - While Jay Cutler has been playing well of late, his numbers in the stat box haven't been what you would expect from a quarterback that showed so much promise for fantasy in his time with Denver. As we all know, the Bears offensive line for pass protection can be suspect, and Cutler's receiving core remains as one of the worst in football. Audio: Jay Culter Is An Option To Start Thi ...

Tim Tebow @ Chiefs - This time a week ago fantasy owners had to wonder if Tim Tebow would play well enough against the Raiders to even finish the game, let alone be a viable fantasy option. While the media seemed to rip Tebow up one side and down the other all week, he found a way to lead his team to a road victory against the Raiders. Tebow won't have the typical stat line we're used to seeing from a top t ...

- It’s good to see Ray Rice finally getting the Ravens’ goal line carries. He scored on three of them on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Two more and he’ll match his 2009 career-high for rushing touchdowns. - First impressions aren’t everything. After getting knocked out by the Ravens in the opening game of the year 35-7, Pittsburgh has now won five of their last six games and their defense is only al ...

Tim Tebow vs Lions - Looking ugly most of the game, much will be made of how Tim Tebow looked as led his team back to victory against the Dolphins and rightfully so. The end result is a good one for most fantasy owners (pending on your leagues scoring rules) because the young man can run the football and when you can rack up 60 yards or more as a quarterback, it's going to make you a solid fantasy option. W ...
