QB |
 | Tom Brady |
NEP |
HOU |
Belichick doesn't usually rest his starters so Brady should see plenty of action at Houston this week. ( 280 yds pass with 3 TDs and 1 Int; 10 yds rush ) |
| 8 |
RB |
| LaDainian Tomlinson |
SDC |
WAS |
Meager stats this week, as Tomlinson suits up and plays but at some point sits on the bench and takes a load off. ( 50 yds rush and 1 TD; 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 11 |
RB |
| Maurice Jones-Drew |
JAC |
CLE |
Bounce back nicely to end the season ( 100 yds rush and 1 TD; 3 catches for 25 yds ) |
| 11 |
WR |
| Santonio Holmes |
PIT |
MIA |
He's been very hot since mid-season, a must start already and a great matchup to boot! ( 9 catches for 112 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 9 |
WR |
| DeSean Jackson |
PHI |
DAL |
Now has scored in last 5 games played and will continue that streak this week in Dallas. Look for him to shine in this NFC East showdown in which the winner will be NFC East champs! ( 5 catches for 95 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 10 |
WR |
| Sidney Rice |
MIN |
NYG |
Needs to have a big game. ( 7 catches for 90 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 13 |
PK |
| David Akers |
PHI |
DAL |
You can confidently put Akers in your lineup one last week as the Eagles meet the Cowboys and many points will come! ( 2 XPs, 3 FGs ) |
| 8 |
Def |
| Green Bay Packers |
GBP |
ARI |
May be playing an opponent that has nothing to play for. ( 2 sacks, 2 INTs, 2 Fumbles, 10 Points, 250 Yards ) |

QB |
| Kyle Orton |
DEN |
KCC |
Orton will not need to put the ball into the air much in Week 17, as Denver's running game figures to do quite well and with Marshall out, don't expect a lot. ( 200 yds pass and 1 Int ) |
| 11 |
QB |
| Matt Schaub |
HOU |
NEP |
Will throw a lot but may get into some trouble ( 275 yds pass with 1 TD and 2 Ints ) |
| 9 |
QB |
| Carson Palmer |
CIN |
NYJ |
They're not playing for anything and are too likely to be pulled early to reliably start anybody. Look elsewhere. The Jets benefit for the second week in a row. ( 135 yds pass with 1 TD ) |
| 0 |
RB |
| Tim Hightower |
ARI |
GBP |
Not a good week to be relying on him if you're still playing. ( 30 yds rush; 3 catches for 21 yds ) |
| 0 |
RB |
| LeSean McCoy R |
PHI |
DAL |
Looks like it will be a 3-headed monster at RB with Westbrook, McCoy and Weaver all getting touches. ( 25 yds rush; 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 0 |
RB |
| Brian Westbrook |
PHI |
DAL |
You can expect Westbrook to have a similar, limited role as last week. Yes, this is an important game, but Philadelphia is certain of a playoff spot and will more require his services once Week 18 comes. ( 30 yds rush; 1 catch for 5 yds ) |
| 8 |
RB |
| Thomas Jones |
NYJ |
CIN |
Jones will see plenty of action at home against the Bengals. ( 70 yds rush and 1 TD; 3 catches for 20 yds ) |
| 0 |
RB |
| Laurence Maroney |
NEP |
HOU |
Maroney was benched last week after fumbling near the goal line. ( 30 yds rush ) |
| 3 |
RB |
| Rashard Mendenhall |
PIT |
MIA |
The feature RB, but that doesn't say much on this pass heavy team. Outside of the two big prime-time performances he's been inconsistently mediocre most of the season, not a strong start this week, especially against a solid Miami run defense. ( 60 yds rush; 4 catches for 32 yds ) |
| 2 |
WR |
| Mario ManninghamP |
NYG |
MIN |
New York now has an excellent trio of receivers with Smith, Nicks and Manningham. They should all get decent yardage, but don't expect Manningham to score in the finale. ( 4 catches for 55 yds ) |
| 10 |
WR |
| Wes WelkerI |
NEP |
HOU |
Welker's record breaking season continues this week. ( 9 catches for 90 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 2 |
WR |
| Santana Moss |
WAS |
SDC |
He still has talent and is a very capable receiver, but with Campbell throwing to him; it really diminishes Moss' fantasy value. ( 5 catches for 60 yds ) |
| 6 |
WR |
| Marques Colston |
NOS |
CAR |
Plays just enough to find the end-zone. He's a risky play if the Saints decide to sit their starters which it appears they will. ( 2 catches for 30 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 0 |
TE |
| Dallas ClarkP |
IND |
BUF |
Stats will suffer if he doesn't play a full game ( 4 catches for 40 yds ) |
| 10 |
PK |
| Jay Feely |
NYJ |
CIN |
Feely has been one of the better fantasy kicker options the past few weeks. ( 2 XPs, 2 FGs ) |
| 0 |
PK |
| Neil Rackers |
ARI |
GBP |

| 2 |
Def |
| Philadelphia Eagles |
PHI |
DAL |
Cowboys have turned the ball over only 1 time in their last 3 games. Romo seems to have gotten the team's "December Monkey" off their proverbial backs, so look for another defensive unit to start. ( 2 sacks, 1 Fumble, 24 Points, 400 Yards ) |
| 2 |
Def |
| San Diego Chargers |
SDC |
WAS |
Average-to-good prospects as a fantasy defense this week, based on decent play from Jason Campbell but not much else that's going positive for the Redskins. ( 3 sacks, 1 INT, 17 Points, 310 Yards ) |
