A QB probably won you a championship this week or lost you one. Such is the disparity of life. Let’s review with a special QB-centric version of this week’s studs and duds.

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday’s early games

DET @ MIA Start: Calvin Johnson You have to. If you’re in the Championship, Calvin is one of the guys that got you there. Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games.

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday’s afternoon games

SD @ CIN Start: Philip Rivers, QB, San Diego Chargers–Despite the Chargers’ poor record, Rivers has put up outstanding numbers all season long, even without some of his top playmakers available.

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday night and Monday Night games

The big key with trying to figure out the matchups in the Sunday night and Monday night games is knowing who can be counted on to play and to play well. If a guy playing Sunday night is questionable and not vital to your team, it’s not advisable to play him, even if the other [...]

Quarterbacks: Which are soaring and which are sinking?

If you’re in the playoffs in your fantasy football league, there’s likely one reason and one reason only—you’ve got a stud quarterback.
