Fan Fanatic Sports Staff
Well, first off Merry Christmas to all of you loyal Fan Fanatic Sports readers. We thank you all for your support throughout the year. Now down to business. For the vast majority of all fantasy football leagues this is the grand daddy weekend of them all. Yes, this is the Fantasy Football Super Bowl! Despite the fact that I gave up on my team at least twice this season, I somehow found my way into the Super Bowl! Since this is the Super Bowl, and most of you aren't playing, I am going to change up the article this week. Instead of looking at the best game match ups of the week, I am going to highlight the best match ups for each position and the worst for each position.
Best Positional Match Ups of the Week:
QB - Aaron Rodgers, Phillip Rivers, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner
The Seahawks are quite possibly the worst road team in the NFL, even worse than the Patriots. Look for all of your Packers to have big games. The Chargers are rolling right now. It's not that easy to run against the Titans, but you can certainly pass. Tony Romo and the Cowboys take on a Redskins team that has quit. Kurt Warner at home against the Rams. Sounds good to me
RB - Ryan Grant, Frank Gore, Maurice Jones Drew
Ryan Grant is a Packer, right? Frank Gore for the score. I actually think he'll go for two against the Lions. MJD takes on the Pats D, sounds like 3 scores to me in what should be a good, tight game.
WR - Mike Sims-Walker, Randy Moss, Wes Welker
Well, my best match ups for the WR position are all in the same game. I just don't trust the Pats D at all, and I really look for both Moss and Welker to go off. There's no way you hold Welker down for another game.
TE - JerMichael Finley, Vernon Davis, Brett Celek, Fred Davis
We really have 4 good, young tight ends in that list. Finley has emerged as a major talent at the position, Vernon Davis is showcasing why he was the 6th overall pick, Brett Celek is a great stopgap for Donovan McNabb and Fred Davis has been outstanding the past few weeks.
DEF - Cowboys, 49ers, Packers
Like I said above, the Cowboys are taking on the Redskins. I really like Mike Singletary's defense this weekend against the Lions. Oh yeah, the Packers are playing the Seahawks at home.
Worst Positional Match Ups of the Week:
QB - Matt Hasselbeck, Brett Favre, Jason Campbell
The Seahawks are terrible on the road. Don't start anyone. I really don't like Favre's match up against the Bears this weekend. Throw in the little spat he's having with Childress and this all doesn't look good. Of course, the "aged wonder" has proven me wrong before. Jason Campbell, while not nearly as bad as most people think, are playing the Cowboys and they really need the win.
RB - Jaamal Charles, Quinton Ganther, Matt Forte
Ok, I am starting Charles this week, but I don't like the match up. The Bengals have a stout run defense, but I don't have anyone better I want to play. I know Ganther has scored 3 times in the past 2 games. Normally I'd put him up top because he's a young player who's trying to showcase himself. I still don't like him against the Cowboys run defense that ranks 6th in the NFL.
WR - Chris Chambers, Reggie Wayne*, Roddy White
Not only do the Bengals have a good run defense, they have a superb pass defense. The asterisk for Reggie Wayne is because I don't know how much he'll play. He's also going toe to toe against Darelle Revis. I am also going to be starting Roddy White, but the Bills are very good against the pass.
TE - Dallas Clark*, John Carlson, Kevin Boss
Same thing for Clark. How much will he really play. John Carlson is terrible and he'll never be owned by me again, and Kevin Boss is just too inconsistent. I need something better for the Super Bowl.
DEF - Jets*, Broncos, Patriots
The Jets Defense could be a great play if the Colts rest a lot of their starters. If not, then they could be a very bad play. They could also win the game outright, and I'd look like a fool. The Eagles are on a serious offensive roll right now, and the Broncos will not be able to stop them. Did you get the idea that I don't like the Patriots Defense? I don't.
Good luck and Merry Christmas to you all!
