Welcome to Championship Week! This is where the men separate from the boys; the cheese from the grill; the Prom Kings from the Key Club.
In addition to some start/sits, here is my guide to winning a playoff fantasy league. The place to start is with the teams themselves. Choose 1 AFC and 1 NFC team. These teams have to play 3 games each just to make it worth it. Yes, you are putting all your eggs in two baskets, but it is about maximizing your team. A player could score 25 points one game, but if his team loses, then that’s all you get.
A wild card team on fire is a great place to start. Get all of those players you possibly can. Don’t worry about overspending since this is one basket. Pay attention to home records as they will help give you an idea. For a wild card team, look at their road record.
Once you have all those players, draft backups to other teams.
Now onto the week 17 start/sit. If you are unsure of a player’s playing time sit them. Don’t risk it. Play the guys that got you here, unless that team has nothing to play for.
You are staring at your lineup trying to decide who to start and who to sit this week. You want information, but you are too prideful to ask for advice. You are in luck because at FantasyDaddy.com we are giving it up! With a glance over the chart you can tell which players have tough or weak matchups. This chart is set up to allow you to see which teams allow the most points for Fantasy Football positions.
To clarify a team with “32” gives up the most points in that category, the team with a “1” gives up the least. Teams with higher movement of more than 5 places in rank are also highlighted
QB Movers: CHI (-6): Aaron Rodgers makes his return to the list by knocking the Bears QB rank down 6 points by throwing 5 TDs. KC (6): Chiefs held Carson Palmer to one TD, and they had 2 INTs in the process.
Target Practice is a list of Fantasy Football players that had at least eight passes thrown their way in the past weeks games. A high number of targets does not always equal success, but at least you know who is receiving the most opportunities to be successful.
Most leagues are done and Wes Welker ends up on top in Week 16. He leads all with 19 targets, 12 receptions, and 138 yards in the Patriots furious comeback vs. the Dolphins on a cold Christmas Eve.
Other double digit targets:
18 – Dustin Keller
16 – Roddy White
14 – Reggie Wayne, Julio Jones

Arian Foster leads off my list this week with his matchup against the Colts. He missed the first game of the season when these two teams last met but has had some big games against them running the ball.
Reggie Bush looks rejuvenated and is running great in Miami. This week he gets a good matchup against the Patriots which should lead to continued success.
Marshawn Lynch may have gotten you to your league championship game. But this week if you have another option I may think about using it. He’s going up against a 49ers defense that’s been straight ignorant against the run.
If you’re desperate at the RB#2 or flex spot pay attention to if Felix Jones or Willis McGahee plays this week. If they don’t Sammy Morris could be a sneaky play against the Eagles and the same could be said for Lance Ball against the Bills.
Good luck this week!!!

Now let’s look at my week 16 RB Rankings
This is the championship week for most of us this week in fantasy football. Congratulations for those of you who made the big dance and for those who didn’t there’s always next year.
Looking at the matchups this week I like both Philip Rivers and Matthew Stafford playing against each other. This game has the makings of a shootout and Rivers has been looking like is old self as of late.
Tim Tebow is coming off a nice fantasy game against the Patriots. This week he gets a Bills defense that is no better. He should be in for another big fantasy stat line.
Again if you’re in a bind Matt Moore yet again has another beautiful matchup this week against the Patriots. He most likely will have to throw the ball a ton in this game and that could lead to big time results against New England’s struggling secondary.
Good luck this week!!!

If you are reading this post there is a great chance you came out of week 15 with a victory and you are only 1 win away from fantasy glory; congrats to all of you. Week 15 had some different teams on the top of the fantasy board; The Seahawks, Eagles and Falcons were the top performers with 34, 27 and 26 points respectively. There was more than a few disappointments last week and they came in the form of some top ranked defenses. The Baltimore Ravens laid an absolute egg against the Chargers and cost some owners a shot at the title with the zero points they registered. The Steelers also left their owners holding their hat with 6 points and the Packers came down to earth in reality and fantasy; in fantasy the Pack only scored 4 points. Week 16 is going to be interesting and the Texans, Bengals, Titans all have very intriguing match ups. If you are in your finals and own any of these defenses they are worth rolling the dice in your Fantasy Super Bowl.
- Packers (vs. Bears) I am expecting a bounce back game from the Packers against the disheveled Bears and their anemic offense. The Packers finally lost a game last week and they will be out on the field Saturday looking to right the ship in week 16. It is a fitting match up for your Championship lineup; Start them with full confidence.
- Steelers (vs. Rams) The Steelers might be without Ben Roethlisberger in this game but their defense should be able to shut down the Rams. This is a plus match up and they are a recommended play for the final week; start with confidence.
- Ravens ( vs. Browns) The theme of the week is the bounce back; The Ravens were embarrassed last week and the Browns are going to be their punching bags in week 16.
- Texans (@ Colts) The Colts finally got a win under the belt but that should be their last one of the season. The Texans have been very good this season and the Colts should be a tune up game for their playoff run.
- 49ers (@ Hawks) The 49ers were the 4th best defense last week and the same goes for their game in Seattle this week. I like the 49ers as a top 5 play this week.
- Bengals (vs. Cards) The Bengals will be playing for their playoff lives this week and the Cards are going to be in for a cold game in Cincinnati, it will be a far cry from the conditions they are used to playing in Arizona. The Bengals played good last week but didn’t manage any sacks or takeaways; I can see them getting the Cards to make some mistakes this week which will translate into a solid fantasy score for their owners.
- Titans (vs. Jags) The Jags have a brutal offense and have trouble moving the ball outside of MJD. The Titans is a solid top 10 play this week and could be started if your other defense has a tough matchup or is ranked outside of the top 10 this week.
- Hawks (vs. 49ers) The Hawks defense has been hot lately and I could see this being a let-down game for the 49ers. If you have been riding the Hawks you might as well throw caution to the wind and roll them out there again this week.
- Jets (vs. Giants) The battle of New York should make for some great trash talk and a solid entertainment this week. I like the Jets defense more than the Giants this week and they always have the potential to turn a mistake into fantasy gold. They are a top 10 play this week.
- Lions (vs.Chargers) The Lions are roaring again and they can taste the playoffs. Look for these boys to come out playing smash mouth as they attempt to defuse the surging Chargers.
- Broncos (@ Bills) The Broncos were beaten by Brady and the boys last week in Foxborough and they will want to bounce back against the struggling Bills. This should be a low scoring game and the Broncos defense should bounce back this week against a weaker offense.
- Redskins (vs.Vikings) The Skins get a home game against a depleted Vikings team and can see them controlling this game from the opening kick. Their defense has been very inconsistent this year but they could still net you 12-14 fantasy points in week 16.
- Giants (@Jets) The Jets aren’t offensive juggernauts and the Giants have enough talent on the defensive side of the ball to take the upper hand in the battle of New York. If you’re a gambling man with little options you may as well roll the dice with the G-Men.
- Chiefs (vs. Raiders) The Chiefs just knocked down the Packers and the Post Todd Haley squad could be in line to smack down the reeling Raiders. The silver and black have dropped three straight and now sit 7-7. I like the Chiefs to play spoiler this week and leave you with 10-12 fantasy points.
- Eagles (@ Cowboys) The Eagles are feast or famine this season but they rewarded their owners last week that had the stones to roll them out in their starting lineups. If you’re a gambling man they could be worth a flier but I don’t trust them.
- Raiders (@ Chiefs) The Raiders are in a must win if they want to salvage what started as a promising season. The Chiefs do not have a run game to speak of this year which bodes well for the shaky Raider run defense.
- Bears (@ Packers) The Bears are always a threat to make something happen on defense and the Chiefs may have created the blueprint last week on how to be effective against the Packers. We will find out this week. I can’t in good conscious say to start the Bears this week; not with the title on the line in your league.
- Patriots (vs. Dolphins) The Pats are at home and they have tightened up their defense over the last month. They are not a recommended start this week.
Good luck in the finals Ladies & Gents, you can follow me on Twitter @FD_Rocs
