Fantasy playoffs are near folks and these last few weeks are critical for those who are on the border of making the playoffs. I hope to help you with my rankings and if you have any questions regarding your lineups or players, please contact me or leave a comment below!
Wide Receivers
- Greg Jennings @ TB: Rodgers is getting it done and Jennings is on the receiving end of God’s (I mean Rodger’s) passes
- Calvin Johnson vs. CAR: Was shut down last week, but should splash in the end zone at least once
- Dez Bryant @ WAS: Will get the looks and will score in this one. Big body and no Miles Austin helps
- Wes Welker vs. KC: Tom Brady and Welker will get it done here
- Brandon Marshall vs. Buffalo: Has been on a tear with targets and receptions and him and Moore are clicking
- Steve Smith @ DET: Big time players make big time plays
- Victor Cruz vs. PHI: Gets double digit targets the last few weeks and has delivered
- Larry Fitzgerald @ SF: Without Kolb he’s been doing better
- Anquan Boldin vs. CIN: Should receiver many targets and has been doing well
- Brandon Lloyd vs. SEA: Averaging over 60 yards a game and has been the main receiving threat with the Rams
- AJ Green @ BAL: If he plays he should fair well, but very tough matchup
- Jordy Nelson @ TB: Same as Jennings, and has been Rodger’s favorite target the last few games
- Vincent Jackon @ CHI: Depends which Chicago Defense comes to play. If it is the same one as last week, then Tillman will shut him down
- Roddy White vs. TEN: Still receives a lot of targets, but Ryan is starting to look elsewhere
- Stevie Johnson @ MIA: He needs to show some life in this game otherwise he will be out of the top 15
- Mario Manningham vs. PHI: Eli will be throwing and Manningham is one of his favorite targets
- Denarious Moore @ MIN: Has been clicking with Palmer, and everyone has been throwing on the Vikings
- Laurent Robinson @ WAS: Put up some big fantasy numbers last week and should
continue that trend this week - DeSean Jackson @ NYG: Looks to be in line for some targets after being inactive last week, plus Maclin is hurt
- Hakeem Nicks vs. PHI: Should see plenty of Nnamdi, who held him to 25 yards in Week 3
- Dwayne Bowe @ NE: I’m not sure how he will do with the new QB and he’s going up against the league’s worst pass defense. But again, needs to click with new QB fast
- Percy Harvin vs. OAK: Raiders are giving up a lot of passing yards- 260 ypg
- Santonio Holmes @ DEN: Should see some Bailey in this game, and Sanchez is iffy
- Plaxico Burress @ DEN: Might catch a touchdown, but don’t expect a big yardage game from him
- Earl Bennett vs. SD: Has been averaging 88 ypg since he’s been back, so look for him to have another big game
- Mike Williams (TB) @ GB: Green Bay gives up big plays, but Mike Williams and Freeman are not the same as last year
- David Nelson @ MIA: Tough to say how the Bills will play as they have been trending downward
- Damian Williams @ ATL: Really like this guy to have a good game in this one
- Vincent Brown @ CHI: Another good target for Rivers to throw to in this game
- Deion Branch vs. KC: 2 TD’s the last 3 games and Patriots get to the redzone a lot.
Stud: Dez Bryant @ WAS; Dud: Hakeem Nicks vs. PHI; Sleeper: Damian Williams @ ATL
Tight Ends
- Rob Gronkowski vs. KC: He is the Aaron Rodgers of Tight Ends
- Tony Gonzalez vs. TEN: Has scored in the last 2 games and continues to play well
- Jason Witten @ WAS: Racking in the touchdowns and no Austin means more looks
- Jermichael Finley vs. TB: When you have Rodgers as your QB anything is possible
- Antonio Gates @ CHI: Bears give up a lot of fantasy points to Tight Ends but they have been playing unbelievably on defense lately
- Aaron Hernandez vs. KC: Gets touchdowns still even if he doesn’t get the yards
- Greg Olsen @ DET: Receives many targets from Newton
- Fred Davis vs. DAL: No one really to throw to for the Skins, so look for Davis to receive a number of targets
- Vernon Davis vs. ARI: Has gotten a touchdown the last 2 weeks and Alex Smith looks very comfortable with the offense
- Kellen Winslow @ GB: TB will need to throw in this one
Stud: Jermichael Finley vs. TB; Dud: Fred Davis vs. DAL; Sleeper: Ed Dickson vs. CIN
