You’ve fought all season to get to this point, make sure you make the right roster selections to end your opponent’s season and keep yours going.
Drew Brees NO QB
Plays the 2nd worst pass defense in the league allowing 270 yards and 2 scores per game to QBs.
Aaron Rodgers GB QB
Had his worst game of the year in the Packers romp of the Raiders scoring a QB rating under 100 for the first time. Faces 3 middle of the road pass defenses to finish the season.
Tom Brady NE QB
With the exception of Christian Ponder’s outburst in week 13 (28 points), no QB has scored more than 11 points on them since week 10. Brady won’t have any trouble overtaking that number, but Denver is no pushover and they’re on some sort of magical run.
Cam Newton CAR QB
Another solid fantasy game for Newton last week with another tough challenge coming up. Atlanta is ranked 4th (202 yds, 1 td) at stopping opposing QBs.
Arian Foster HOU RB
Had an off week with only 7 points but gets 3 great matchups in a row starting with the 31st ranked Carolina rush defense.
Tony Romo DAL QB
Fresh off his best game of the year. Too bad it was a loss, but that just means Dallas is desperate for a win in Tampa. They’re defense has been ugly so Romo will have another big week.
Tim Tebow DEN QB
Every week it looks like his numbers will finally fall flat and it just doesn’t happen. Good for him and even better when he gets a good passing matchup. He has that this week vs the Patriots who feature one of the worst defenses in the league.
Michael Vick PHI QB
Vick returned to the lineup just in time to hit a difficult schedule. He’s only scored 12 points in each of his last 3 starts and faces off against a top 5 Jets secondary that’s averaging 13.2 points per week to QBs.
Matthew Stafford DET QB
His playoff schedule is terrific. First up are the Raiders. The lowest scoring QB to face them the last 6 weeks notched 18 points.
Eli Manning NYG QB
He’s rolling and playing great but gets 2 very tough games in a row. First is Washington ranking 10th and allowing a low 15.9 points followed by the 5th ranked New York Jets.
Matt Ryan ATL QB
The Jaguars rank 6th against the pass which has me expecting a similar performance to what we saw against the Texans. Somewhere in the ballpark of 250 yards with 1 score – 2 if you’re lucky.
Philip Rivers SD QB
Looks good lately, but may be about to hit a brick wall known as the Baltimore Ravens. They rank #1 in preventing fantasy points to QBs.
LeSean McCoy PHI RB
The Jets run defense has rebounded and moved into the top 10, but fellow dual threat Roy Helu gashed them for 20 points a couple weeks ago, full speed ahead with McCoy.
Ray Rice BAL RB
MJD just ran all over the Chargers a couple weeks ago, en route to a 24 point day. Loving Ray Rice yet again this week.
Michael Bush OAK RB
McFadden still doesn’t sound close to returning, so Bush makes sense to use against the Lions. It helps that Toby Gerhart managed to tag them for 17 fantasy points last week.
Josh Freeman TB QB
Salvaged a rough outing last week with a rushing TD. Has another difficult opponent facing Dallas this week. It’s going to be on him to keep them in this one, so expecting 250 yards and 1-2 scores.
Rex Grossman WAS QB
The turnovers hurt a bit, but still had 250+ yards and 2 TDs vs New England. He will have another good outing this week against the Giants. He has averaged 21 points over his last 2 meetings with the G Men.
Chris Johnson TEN RB
Just when you think he’s back, he goes and lays an egg against a beatable New Orleans rush defense. Gets another great matchup with Indy giving up 21+ points to opposing RBs, but who knows!
Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF QB
He’s seen Miami once already and couldn’t manage a single TD, finishing the day with only 9 fantasy points.
Maurice Jones-Drew JAX RB
If you started him last week, he likely moved you one week deeper into the playoffs. No way you can sit him out now, no matter how stacked you are at RB.
