Ah yes, it is fantasy football playoff time. The powers that be couldn't have given us a better slate of games this week to hinge your playoff success on. There are four games in particular that will go a long way in determining who makes their league championship game next week.
Tampa Bay at New Orleans: A match up of two of the league's most potent offenses going against two of the league's worst pass defenses. Could be plenty of fireworks for Drew Brees and company. Not to mention Tampa Bay's three headed monster of Josh Freeman (who threw for 420 yards and three td's against the Saints last game), Doug Martin (third in the league in rushing), and wide receiver Vincent Jackson.
New York Giants at Atlanta: Plenty of fantasy stars for both teams in this late season battle. Matt Ryan and his trio of deadly receivers.Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, and Hakeem Nicks. And let's not forget about the x factor David Wilson, who many have as a sleeper starter this week, By the way, Bradshaw is not playing.
Pittsburgh at Dallas: This one (from a fantasy perspective) hinges on what Steelers defense shows up. Tony Romo and DeMarco Murry have been scoring well. Will Dez Bryant's finger scare owners off this week? Probably not, but how effective will he be? The Cowboys have a good pass defense, but they play awful at home. What might Big Ben, Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown deliver?
San Francisco at New England: This one I'll call the Pepto Bismal match up. Most Brady owners will already know how many points they need from him (and anybody else paying in this one) when it kicks off later tonight. We're all hoping for a shootout in this one right? Good luck to you all, and don't forget to check out the season finale of the Fantasy TakeOver Show this Wednesday 12/19/12 on YouTube. follow @plcolter
