Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 16

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 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. Well, now that most of his playmakers are back, he has an atrocious Bengals’ defense on the menu. Vincent Jackson, WR, San Diego Chargers–It’s [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 14

The Brightside: Chances are that if you made it into your league’s playoff, then your matchup is likely fairly low scoring and with four teams playing tonight, you probably have a good shot to win this game.
