I might be psychic

I'm feeling pretty good about my "shockers post" at the moment. A quick recap of what the five guys I thought would break out with big games did:

Anthony Gonzalez: I couldn't have put it better myself... than what myself... said. Wait, what? Anyway, I said this: "Beware the player Peyton Manning seems to be ignoring." 7 receptions (tied for most on the team), 71 yards (most on the team). In other words, he was Peyton's top receiver.
Devery Henderson: 101 yards, and almost a touchdown - it was ruled a TD originally, but a Carolina challenge put him out of bounds at the 2. This was on a 50+ yard reception. Can you say "big-play capability?" If not, get to a hospital, something is very wrong with your larynx.
Gus Frerotte: Even with the 3 INTs, 291 yards and 3 TDs is a nice fantasy day in most scoring formats. Not that any of you listened to me and started him. For shame.
Demetrius Williams: You can't win 'em all.
Lee Evans: We'll see tonight.

If Evans blows up, it's a win-win situation for you. Your status as a psychic will be elevated AND you will probably beat me this week. Obviously I'm praying that you're just an ordinary guy who can't predict the future (but got lucky on a few guys).

I would temper your enthusiasm on Gonzales & Henderson. While both were serviceable in deep leagues, neither were starters on fantasy winners this week.

That said this is a very good list - and I suspect Evans will have a big week, or least one long TD. Dallas should romp but Evans is due and Trent Edwards has the arm to make it happen. Go Stanford Cardinal!

I have an enthusiasm that refuses to be tempered. Go Evans.

Not bad, however you would have indisputably been psychic had you picked Buffalo's defense as a surprise play this week

Playoff leagues: Keeping the fantasy football season alive to the bitter end:
- frank m: I'm playing at ESPN. I'm also doing weekly tournaments at www.papersports.com.
- ffexchange: I've done my own for a while where we set a lineup each week and you can play anyone, but can only play them once. One third fantasy, one third survivor style pool, and one third guessing the games. Its not the same as the real thing, but going cold turkey isn't easy.
2008 Fantasy Football Playoffs MVPs:
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: Just to update the situation, it looks like the PT Cruiser may have a flat tire (i.e. he's questionable with various injuries) and does not seem to be a good play this weekend. Go with Steve Slaton and hope he can find the endzone.
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: Sorry for the delay, but was busy with Christmas. Hope yours is going well too. Anyways, in terms of your questions there...I'd go with Thigpen and Pierre Thomas. It looks like Boldin will be questionable for this weekend, so I'd keep him out of your lineup just in case. If Hixon and Ginn are...
- e-roc: @Brandon - Go figure I'm in the office and reading blogs... Anyway, I have both Manning & Wayne so my conundrum is this: QB - Thigpen @ Cin or Garcia v. Oak? RB - PT Cruiser v. CAR , Slaton v. CHI or McClain v. Jax? WR - Do you know if Boldin...
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: I'm not generally in favor of starting players on teams that are playing for nothing and it seems that Indy is one of the worst culprits of this (maybe because they are always in the playoffs?) If you have someone like Peyton Manning, you may try to find a suitable replacement, as he'll probably...
- e-roc: @Brandon - somehow I managed to own just two of the names above and still came away with the wins down the stretch. Any thoughts/recommendations on teams like Indy who will probably be sitting starters in Week 17?
Quick Hits (and Misses): Colts @ Jaguars:
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @JT: Yeah DeAngelo Williams went off huh?! I'm not sure what either the Texans or Jets were trying to do on Sunday, but it just wasn't working for them. The Patriots almost pitched the shutout, but that garbage time touchdown probably took a few points from you. See you next season!
