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 ...

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 the Browns under 14 points, even with Seneca Wallace bringing some life to their offense last week. Keep ...

In light of the results from the Texans lose to the Panthers, and the Colts first win of the season, Houston's week sixteen matchup in Indianapolis may not be a big blowout after all. No, the Colts didn't find a passing attack last week, but their defense stepped up and made plays, as they rolled to an easy finish against the Titans. Still if you're in need of a solid top ten matchup for Super Bowl week, it ...

The Packers were dominant at home against a beat-up Raiders team that clearly didn't come to play. This week Mason Crosby and the Packers team defense are listed as our top players to start for their respective positions, as they head out to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. On Monday, the Chiefs finally fired Coach Todd Haley and it was about time, as after losing Matt Cassel, Haley's only answer at quart ...

A hail mary pass at the end of the first half, gave the Chiefs seven of the ten points they needed to beat the Bears, but it's likely they won't find that fortune this week against the Jets. Kansas City has one of the worst offenses in football with Tyler Palko likely to stay under center with Kyle Orton suffering a hand injury on his only play last week. This week we have the Jets listed as the top team de ...

Sure the New England Patriots are playing with a third rate secondary in terms of talent, but they've been getting the job done when opposing offenses creep inside the red zone. This week the Patriots get their second great matchup in the last three weeks as they return home to face the Colts offense. While Indianapolis had some success last week, New England should be good for at least four sacks and two o ...

The Rams suffered a disappointing overtime loss to the Cardinals last week, but the defense was solid and even posted two safeties against John Skelton. This week, St. Louis heads back on the road and has another solid matchup against the Browns. If your normal defense happens to be under achieving of late, or has a matchup you don't like this week, think about picking the Rams up off the waiver wire. Last ...

It's time for fantasy owners to keep in mind some of the more pitiful offenses around the league, and find a defense that plays them on the waiver wire to exploit these matchups. As funny as this sounds, the Colts have to be the worst team in the NFL, and their offense is in poor shape as quarterback Curtis Painter continues to regress from his early marginal success against the Buccaneers and Chiefs. Look ...

With second year inside linebacker Sean Lee playing at an All-Pro level, the Cowboys defense is a respectable fantasy defense weekly. In the past two weeks, we've seen this squad play well against the Lions and Patriots, two of the better offenses in football and their matchup against the Rams this week, will make them one of the better plays for week seven. Last Updated - Oct. 17th Bills, Bengals, Patriots ...

Another emotional game is on tap for the Raiders as the return to Oakland for the first time since their owner Al Davis passed away. The Raiders got it done against the Texans, and the defense stepped up late abusing Matt Schaub in the backfield and intercepting him to finish the game. This is going to be a tough atmosphere for the Cleveland Browns to play in, and I expect the Raiders to dominate this game. ...
