SKOHRboard's Fantasy Notes 12-16-10 Playoffs!

Go buy a trophy to make your Fantasy Championship a real championship.

It's Playoff time!  Tough decisions abound this weekend and fortunately you've made it to the playoffs because you have been making the right decisions all year long.  It's time to prove your Fantasy Football prowess over the next three weeks and here are a few guys who can help you do that.  

QBs

Josh Freeman, Bucs play at home against Lions

Freeman's worst game this was a single digit performance against the Steelers.  He has had between 11 and 20 points in every other week.  That is nothing but consistency.  Given the Lions inability to stop passing offenses expect to see Freemen find his rookie WRs Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn early and often.

Jon Kitna, Cowboys play at home against the Redskins

The Cowboys are missing top WR rookie Dez Bryant but that doesn't mean they are going to stop passing.  Especially against the Redskins.  The 'skins have had one of the worst defenses in the league this year.  I could see this game being one that really let's last year's revelation WR Miles Austin break out of a season long slump much to the benefit of Jon Kitna owners.  

RBs

Tim Hightower, Cardinals play @ Panthers

Hightower seems to have regained control of the Cards backfield.  That just happens to be perfect timing for us because the Cardinals are playing the Panthers this week who haven't met a running game they could stop all year.  Hopefully for us that doesn't start this weekend against Hightower.

Jonathan Stewart, Panthers play at home against Cardinals

Looks like we have the underrated fantasy match-up of the week in this game!  The Cardinals can't stop anyone either and former Oregon Duck and 1st round pick Stewart seems to finally be getting healthy.  Which is bad news for the lowly Cards but great news for anyone who starts him this weekend.

Ryan Torrain, Redskins play @ Washington

Torrain is back and he is healthy.  If you saw any of the 2nd half of the Eagles vs. Cowboys game you noticed the ENORMOUS holes that McCoy was running through.  Well look for Torrain to exploit those huge running lanes this week as both teams battle for bottom of the NFC East.  

WRs

Deion Branch, Patroits play @ Packers

Branch has been Tom Brady's go to receiver lately and that is a very valuable position especially for fantasy owners.  They are playing a very good defense in Green Bay who will have to step up this weekend due to the unlikelihood of Rogers playing but even one big play from Branch can make him a worthwhile start.

Kenny Britt, Titans play at home against the Texans

Britt along with Hakeem Nicks were fantasy studs after a few weeks but then got hurt.  Well Britt is back and he is fortunate to play against the Houston pass defense which has been one of the league's worst all season.  He has a chance to really light it up and return to fantasy studhood.  

Vincent Jackson, Chargers play @ 49ers

Jackson has only 2 catches on the year and both of those came in his first game back last week.  This could also be his big return game.  The 49ers haven't really been very good against the pass this year and when you consider that Antonio Gates is probably out, this could be a great return game for Jackson too.
