In order to help you in the final quest for a fantasy championship (and a few laughs), I’ll be publishing IDP rankings each week during the NFL playoffs here at Fantasy Sharks. These rankings assume a league format where teams start two defensive linemen, two linebackers, two defensive backs and a “flex” spot or two.

Can the Titans stay hot and cool off Patrick Mahomes and the rolling Chiefs offense? Can Aaron Rodgers bounce back from a brutal Week 12 performance against the 49ers and lead the Packers back to the Super Bowl? David Grey ...

While Tennessee will be able to run Derrick Henry incessantly they won't have an answer for Patrick Mahomes who will run, scramble and pass his way into a Super Bowl.

The Wild Card Round has come and gone. And for the second season in a row, it was wild indeed. Three of the four road teams (the Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans) emerged with victories. The No. 3 ...

Can the Ravens slow down Derrick Henry and the Titans or will Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have the last laugh? Can the two Aarons (Rodgers and Jones) keep the Packers alive or will Beast Mode live to see another ...

I know many that are skeptical of Green Bay but they shouldn't be. Seattle just isn't the same team without Chris Carson and while Russell Wilson is most certainly a dangerous foe, Green Bay will be able to run all day on Seattle which will keep Wilson on the bench, right where he can't do much damage.

Welcome my fantasy brethren to another edition of The Prognosticator, may it cause you pause. The playoffs are here and are we as excited as ever for what should be an action filled fun run through the NFL post season ...

The thing is, all hope is not lost, intrepid fantasy football freaks. You can still stave off the offseason blues for a while longer--by participating in a fantasy playoff Individual Defensive Player (IDP) league.

Can Drew Brees and the Saints get revenge for the Minneapolis Miracle? Can Tom Brady and the Patriots get back on track after a Week 17 stinker that forced them to play in the opening weekend? David Grey will breakdown ...

Welcome back for the Week 17 edition of “Red Light, Green Light”, your matchup guide for all of this weekend’s NFL contests (and Monday night). While the information conveyed s not intended to be solely a start/bench list, it can ...

Howard has been a bust this season as he was last season, but with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both out the last few weeks with injuries, Howard has been serviceable. He’s seen seven targets in each of the last two games and has made some tough catches.

Welcome my fantasy brethren to another edition of The Prognosticator, may it end on a high note. Good luck to all those playing this week with something on the line. Thanks for joining us here at Fantasy Sharks this year and we hope to see you through the playoffs.

Can Aaron Jones stay hot and finish in style? Will Baker Mayfield and the Browns live up to the hype or end the season on a whimper into the off-season? David Grey will breakdown all the match-ups and try to ...

The cold, hard reality is that the Jaguars current three-down starters at linebacker (Calitro and Donald Payne) are liabilities from an NFL perspective—the Jags are giving up 500-plus yards of offense with regularity. But the pair is cleaning up on the stat sheet, and that's all that really matters to IDP owners.

Williams finally returned from injury last week, and the Chiefs gave him the lion's share of the backfield touches. Now he gets to face the Chargers, who are a plus matchup for opposing running backs. This is a game that the Chiefs will want to win, so look for Williams to be on the field a ton.

Wentz and the Eagles find themselves in a must-win game, as they control their own destiny; they also get in with a Cowboys loss or tie. Wentz has been on fire as of late with six touchdowns and no interceptions in his last three games.

Cleveland allows the 12th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and was just dominated by Lamar Jackson in the 2nd of Week 16. Expect Andy Dalton to finish strong!

Ryan Tannehill ranks fifth in fantasy points in Sharks League Scoring over the season half of the season and gets the best fantasy matchup in the AFC for quarterbacks going up against Houston.

With 13 minutes left in the opening half, the Bengals had a first and goal from the five-yard line. Mixon took the ball on three straight handoffs but failed to get in the end zone as the Bengals settled for a field goal. This was the type of game it was for him, as he couldn't really get going.

Josh Allen always has the safe floor due to his rushing, and this week could be a ceiling game. The Jets are the best possible matchup for opposing quarterbacks, and that's despite the defensive beating they put on Pittsburgh last week.

The absence of Derrick Henry opens up a lot of opportunity for Dion Lewis. In fact, you could do a lot worse than Dion Lewis (TEN) and DeAndre Washington (OAK) in your DFS lineups today.

The following is part of our VIP Membership Content - free for the fantasy playoffs! For an extensive look at all the games this coming week, look no further than our Game Capsules for Sunday and Monday.

Zach Ertz is a must-start this week. If your team has been plagued by injuries and you lack significant depth, Dallas Goedert would not be a terrible flex option to get you around 7-8 points.

Denver returns home after a rough outing in Arrowhead last Sunday. Drew Lock struggled in against the Chiefs, but the visiting Detroit Lions are a perfect bounce-back opponent. Courtland Sutton has been a revelation this year, and his success should continue in this game.

Welcome back for the Week 16 edition of “Red Light, Green Light”, your matchup guide for all of this weekend’s NFL contests (and Monday night). While the information conveyed below piece is not intended to be solely a start/bench list, it can be used to evaluate those decisions as well.

Philadelphia at home with a potent passing game that while not as good as Dallas' can still compete. Dallas evens everything up with Dak Prescott, his receivers, and a soft Philadelphia secondary. Expect overtime and expect drama.

Russell Wilson was an early-season MVP candidate and should return to form this week against this defense. Even with Seattle’s run-first approach he has a chance to be the top-scoring quarterback this week.

Cole Holcomb hasn’t been a fantasy worldbeater — he’s 43rd in fantasy points for the season in Fantasy Sharks Default IDP Scoring. But only Carolina has surrendered more fantasy points in 2019 to the linebacker position than the Giants.

Many folks will shy away from Singletary this week, but I’m here to tell you not to. The electric rookie has 23 touches in each of his past two games, which is just absurd usage.

What better team to go against hoping for a bounce back than the Panthers. They’ve allowed the most fantasy points on the season to opposing running backs so look for the run-heavy Colts offense to lean on Marlon Mack early and often.

Can Saquon Barkley end the season in style and help you to a championship? Can Jameis Winston continue to get the job done as his wide receiver corps continue to battle decrepit hamstrings? David Grey will breakdown all the matchups in this ...

With D.J. Chark cleared for practice this week, Minshew is an even better start this weekend when he visits Atlanta, who has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

Our Fantasy Football Projections are available for Week 16. Projections will be updated continuously as practice reports are received and game-time decisions are made. We update our projections right up until kickoff every week. Check back often.

Since Week 11, Fitzpatrick has quietly been a Top 5 fantasy option under center — thanks in large part to string of favorable fantasy matchups that continues this weekend against Cincinnati’s 29th-ranked defense.

This past week was a vintage Julio Jones game. He took over from the start and never looked back. On the day he saw a whopping 20 targets and caught 13 balls for 134 yards and found the endzone twice.

Denver comes home to Mile High Stadium, hosting the Detroit Lions. With no running game to worry about, the Broncos will be able to shut down David Blough, undoubtedly forcing him into multiple turnovers and sacks.

Winston continued to defy the odds and rewrite personal and league records Sunday, navigating what is officially a fractured thumb to eclipse the season-high 456 yards he compiled just a week ago against Indianapolis - becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for more than 450 yards in consecutive games.

Howard has actually come on as of late, as he is averaging 60 receiving yards in each of his past three games. The entire Tampa Bay receiving core is banged up, so the team is going to lean on Howard like crazy this week.

Did you just squeak into your championship game, or do you own Lamar Jackson and have been laughing all the way in? Maybe you are trying to not take last in your league and suffer the league punishment. Either way you need ...
