Drew Brees @ 49ers - In what could be the hardest matchup Drew Brees will face all year, fantasy owners should still expect him to throw for over 300 yards and a couple of scores in San Francisco. Where Brees may have some problems is if the 49ers can stuff the run, and push the pocket back in his face like the Lions front line did in the first half of last weeks' game. Even if San Francisco has trouble sac ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quarterbacks Jake Locker - For the second time in the last month Jake Locker stepped in to play significant time as Matt Hasselbeck fell to injury. This time, Locker almost led his team back to a victory at the last minute. Not only did Locker play a good game he had a solid fantasy stat-line with 282 yards passing, a touchdown pass to go with 36-yards rushing and a sweet 6-yard touchdown run. At this point ...

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 ...
