Rob Gronkowski vs. Ravens - The Broncos must have ticked Rob Gronkowski off after their regular-season meeting when they held him in check for only four receptions for 53 yards, as they forced Tom Brady to throw the football to fellow tight end Aaron Hernandez. Well, in the rematch Gronkowski went off for arguably his best game as a pro with ten receptions for 145 yards and three touchdowns. I'm not sure wh ...

Aaron Hernandez vs. Broncos - The last time New England faced the Broncos (less than a month ago); they did a good job of taking away Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski as they dared Tom Brady to beat them with other weapons. Aaron Hernandez made them pay with nine receptions for 129 yards and a score, proving he more than capable of hurting opposing defenses. Other the final three weeks, Hernandez had two games ...

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 ...

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 Romo will be playing with a busted hand, and you have a tough decision to make, if you've been starting Witten weekly this year. As ...

Aaron Hernandez vs. Dolphins - With Rob Gronkowski having a record-setting season, it's easy to forget that the Patriots have another talented tight end in Aaron Hernandez, but against the Broncos, it was Hernandez that had the big game. For the second time, this year Hernandez posted over 100 yards receiving and scored his first touchdown in the last six weeks. While it's unlikely that Hernandez will come ...

Owen Daniels vs. Panthers - What seemed like a death blow to Owen Daniels fantasy stock, has turned into the possible beginnings of a resurge with rookie quarterback T.J. Yates under center. Daniels tied Kevin Walter for targets with ten against he Bengals as he consistently exploited Cincinnati over the middle for most of the game, and made a few nice receptions on the teams final drive to victory. Yates r ...

Jermichael Finley vs. Raiders - Finally we saw a quality performance from Packers' tight end Jermichael Finley as the Giants allowed attempted to force Rodgers to beat them by limiting his opportunities to Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings. This is probably the best strategy to slow down the Packers, but when you have Finley, Driver and solid depth beyond that, this offense is still going to post 35 points or ...

Jermaine Gresham @ Steelers - Maybe it's easy to look past Jermaine Gresham in fantasy leagues with tight ends like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham having monster seasons, but this fellow second year tight end is starting to put together a decent year. After missing a couple of games due to injury, Gresham has come back to have no less than three receptions, and if not for a questionable (at least in my eye ...

Running Backs Lance Ball - After Willis McGahee injured his hamstring, and Knowshon Moreno went down with a knee injury (now done for the year), the Broncos relied on Lance Ball to run the football. Ball was productive when given an opportunity and should serve the Broncos well if McGahee can't return for a Thursday night game against the Jets. Audio: Lance Ball Likely To Start For Broncos As you can see fr ...

Rob Gronkowski vs Chiefs - Hopefully, you had a chance to watch the Patriots play the Jets on Sunday night, because Rob Gronkowski had one of the better games of his, thus far, great career. With 52 receptions, 709 yards and eight touchdowns, Gronkowski is one of the top tight ends in fantasy football leagues this year and will likely continue to be for some time. When the Patriots signed Chad Ochocinco thi ...
