Well, it's week 13 and in all of my fantasy leagues, that means it's the last week of the regular season. If you're in a standard Yahoo! league, then odds are that you're in the same situation. I will try to provide some suggestions on players that could help your team get that final push into the playoffs, but like I've emphasized before, if you're relying on waiver-wire pickups to carry you through the playoffs, you're most likely in big trouble.

Wow. That's all I can say after last night's game, where the A.J. Feeley-led Eagles nearly accomplished the upset of the century. I have to give props to the Andy Reid and the Eagles defense, as they were able to make Tom Brady look nearly human with all their blitzing schemes and by somehow managing to contain Randy Moss. In the end however, it was not to be. Let's just hope Baltimore doesn't give the Patriots that much trouble next weekend though...I prefer the blowouts I think. Anyways, here are some of the fantasy standouts from the past few days (I've included the Turkey Day games as well)...

Brandon's take: Wow, when you're blog starts getting asked for fantasy advice from famous dead presidents, you know you've made it! However, we're pretty sure we know this reader...and although he might grow a shaggy beard from time to time, he's no Honest Abe. Anyways, with regards to the question, I'm going to recommend that you stay with the hot hand...which is Kurt Warner at this point. All three defenses that those quarterbacks are playing are middle of the road pass defenses, but I think Warner is playing at the highest level right now. Kitna is coming off a 3 INT performance against the Giants and I just don't have enough faith in Garrard as a passer yet. As long as Warner is healthy, I'd keep him in there through the playoffs, as the rest of his schedule is fairly weak (SF, CLE, SEA, NOR, ATL, STL) and he's got the dynamic receiving duo in Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.

Week 11 is in the books, and my projections ended up being fairly solid. Chester Taylor, Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson, and the Arizona passing game led the way for my stud picks. Besides Thomas Jones, the rest of the Jets offense was bad, as projected, so that went in my favor. However, the Giants passing game was a little disappointing, as was Willie "not so fast" Parker. As it's a short week (Happy almost Thanksgiving!), I figured I should get these stud and dud picks out there as soon as possible. In the spirit of things, I bring to you FFGeekBlog's studs and turkeys.

Here's a look at the guys who spent their time in week 11 doing one of three things: rumblin' up the player value charts with big performances, bumblin' through a rough week and making their owners nervous, or stumblin' so badly that their fantasy value took a major hit.

Alright, we've reached week 12 of the NFL season and to be honest with you, free agent pickups are most likely not going to help your team all that much at this point. However, I'll still give you a few players that made an impact (or the headlines) this past weekend and should be available in your league (just in case!):

Let me just put the stats out there first...then we can do a little analyzing:

Even though there were some sabotage attempts on the Studs/Duds predictions last week, I was able to escape the week with a better success than failure rate again. While expected to excel, Priest Holmes and Antonio Gates fell flat on their faces, while Maurice Jones-Drew, Ryan Grant and Derek Anderson went on personal vendetta's to prove that my "dud" designations were a load of crap. However, there were some silver linings...the Steelers passing game rolled, as did Brett Favre and Cedric Benson (!!! Well, he did great considering that he is Cedric Benson). As expected, Rudi Johnson was terrible and Philip Rivers attempted to earn me some brownie points for playing so horrendously that being categorized as a "dud" was an understatement. This week I promise to be a bit stronger with my predictions, so here we go...

Brandon's take: This is a tough one, as they're both playing pretty bad defenses. However, I'd definitely say that Reggie Brown has the most upside, as he's always capable of catching a deep bomb from McNabb (in his last two games he's caught 45 yard passes). Bennett just hasn't proven to be a viable fantasy source this season, mostly due to quarterback issues and his own injuries, so go with Reggie Brown.
