We've come to the end of our fantasy football season, with the first game of your playoff match up kicking off tonight at 7:30 central time. Plenty of potential league champions are chomping at the bit to get this weekend's games started. Three games in particular will likely determine who comes up short, who gets a year's worth of bragging rights, and who gets some cold hard cash.
Atlanta vs Detroit: Calvin Johnson owners have nothing to worry about. Detroit will do everything in their power to get Megatron the record for most receiving yards in a season. He's 182 yards away, and might get that total tonight on national television. As for the Falcons, Ryan and his trio of receivers (White, Jones, and Gonzalez) are must starts. What owners do with running back Michael Turner is a different story. His yards and receptions are way down, but he's scored a touchdown in five straight games. He's a risk reward (in my New York Nick voice).
New Orleans vs Dallas: Plenty of offensive fire power in this late season tilt. Drew Brees and Tony Romo will do their thing. Both tight ends (Whitten and Graham) will be fine. So will both running backs (Murray and Sproles...Sproles only people). Other than Dez Bryant, the receivers in this match up are all risk rewards. Brees and Romo will spread it around and you never know which one will emerge from week to week.
San Fransisco vs Seattle. This is the Pepto Bismal game due to being the final game of the league season. You have two rookie quarterbacks that posted four touchdown performances last week. You also have a match up between the league's two best scoring defenses, separated by only one point (218, 219). Gore and Lynch are must starts, but are you brave enough to start Wilson or Kaepernick against these defenses? And where does that leave the receivers in this match up? Good luck to you all. follow @plcolter
