Nothing's more devastating in fantasy football than watching your stud player sit out a late-season game because his coach chose to rest him up for the playoffs. It's as if they have no idea there are fantasy championships on the line, or that - unimaginable as it seems - they don't really care. Peyton Manning sat out most of the week 16 game in '05, and many owners still have yet to forgive him.
Wow...I must say that last weekend did not exactly go according to plan. I promised everyone that my picks would be near perfect, but I guess I pulled an Anthony Smith in that regard, posting my worst record of the season. However, I can't be completely to blame, as bad weather conditions in certain venues ruined the fantasy production of several players, such as Derek Anderson, while other players just seemed to take a vacation (Antonio Gates). I will take credit for a few picks though, such as suggesting Adrian Peterson would rebound with a big game and that Kurt Warner would also have a big day against the Saints. Kellen Clemens and Chris Redman also helped the cause with pretty poor performances (although I doubt anyone considered starting them in the first place). Anyways, with that anomaly of a week out of my (and hopefully the NFL's) system, let's get to the studs and duds of week 16...most likely the championship week in your league (hopefully you're still in contention!)
