Fantasy Wrap-up - NFL Week 13

Wow, what a week for me in Fantasy Football in the Dallas League. I needed a win to make the playoffs. Sunday morning I was bouncing back and forth between starting Brandon Jacobs or Cadillac Williams. I chose Cadillac. Terrible move. Sunday evening I thought this move was going to keep me out of the dance and keep me from winning any cash.

With all my players finished playing, I had a 23 point lead on my opponent, but he still had Brett Favre and Greg Jennings to play. Luckily for me, Favre played his worst game of the year, but he did score 6 late Fantasy points on a garbage touchdown. I was yelling for Vikings coach Brad Childress to bench him.

So, going into MNF, I had an 8 point lead and I only needed to avoid a touchdown or a big yardage night from Greg Jennings. It was clearly touch and go all night long, but I ended up winning my game by 2 points 69-67. I am the #6 seed out of 6 playoff teams. I just need Peyton Manning to get hot again, Randy Moss to play big, and Brandon Jacobs to do what he did this week.

Going into the playoffs, I am already down a starter because I do not think that Hines Ward is going to play tomorrow night. I probably have to play Michael Crabtree as my #2 receiver. He could have a big game and he plays on Monday night. He actually could be the deciding Fantasy player this week.

I had one of my worst weeks of the year picking games against the spread. I ended up 6-10 for the week and that drops me to 102-89-1 on the season. Tonight, I need to pick up a back up QB and a back up kicker for the playoffs. In our league, rosters are set this Sunday, so if Manning or Nate Kaeding got injured I would be in trouble.
