The Fantasy Football Playoffs started with a wild and wacky weekend. There were numerous games played in snowy conditions and an NFL high 90 touchdowns were recorded on Sunday. Jeremy Ross provided 2 of them on special teams, and Dexter McCluster and Jacoby Jones each returned kickoffs. 5 defenses scored TDs as well. Of the top 100 point scorers, 36 were wide receivers, 30 quarterbacks, 20 running backs and just 13 tight ends. The Chicago Bears backup QB Josh McCown scored a league high 53.26 fantasy points passing for 4 TDs and rushing for a 5th. There is a good chance that 3 of the top 6 QBs this week were not even starting, including McCown, Andy Dalton and Jason Campbell. I have to admit, I benched Dalton for Ryan Tannehill in my matchup against my brother, I won by half a yard thanks to a Marques Colston TD that was overturned!
Reggie Bush injured himself during warmups, and that led to Joique Bell getting 23 carries, 127 total yards and a TD. He lost 2 fumbles in the snow. Shady McCoy killed it, rushing for 217 yards in the snow and scoring twice. His 28.05 fantasy points were the most amongst non QBs and more than 14 of the top 25 QBs! Jamaal Charles and Shane Vereen were the only other RBs to eclipse 20 points. Vereen rushed for just 9 yards, but that resulted in a TD on top of his 12 receptions for 153 yards! Hello PPR! Bobby Rainey took advantage of 1 long TD run and Shonn Greene vultured 2 scores from Chris Johnson. Lamar Miller suffered a concussion and Daniel Thomas took over for the Miami Dolphins rushing for 105 yards and found the endzone. DeMarco Murray did all the dirty work in a blowout loss to the Bears on Monday Night Football, but it was Joseph Randle who found the endzone. Same can be said for Giovani Bernard who rushed for 99 yards and took 4 receptions for another 49 but BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored twice. Adrian Peterson was carted off the field, but no ligament damage was found and he thinks he will go Week 15. Eddie Lacy was also injured and hopes to play against the Cowboys. Keep an eye on that! Jonathan Stewart is done for the season, leaving DeAngelo Williams with the carries between the 20s and Mike Tolbert with the goal line touches.
Marques Colston doubled his TD total to 4 on the season with a huge game against what was thought to be a tough matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Andre Johnson managed to catch 13 passes for 154 yards but couldn't catch one in the endzone. Josh Gordon, Antonio Brown and Alshon Jeffery continue to prove to be the future of the wide receiver position. Justin Hunter needs to be added to your roster if you need depth at WR. The Indianapolis Colts exploded for 4 passing passing touchdowns and it wasn't T.Y. Hilton but Da'Rick Rogers and LaVon Brazill cashing in. Don't count on the Colts offense though. The Minnesota Vikings offense should operate like this: Run the ball with Adrian Peterson(should be healthy) and screen passes to Cordarrelle Patterson. That is all. We said Joe Flacco would have a nice playoffs, and Marlon Brown is going to help him do so. Pick him up! Do not forget that Wes Welker suffered a concussion and will not play on Thursday!
Let's not forget why Charles Clay is having such a great season. Free agent signing Dustin Keller suffered a season ending knee injury during the preseason. Clay has quickly helped fans forget that ever happened and is really developing a nice chemistry with Tannehill. Garrett Graham has finally started to produce like Owen Daniels, but it seems Daniels is ready to return limiting Graham. Dennis Pitta returned for the Baltimore Ravens catching 6 passes and scoring, but lost a 2nd TD to Ed Dickson. It was Dickson's 1st TD this season! Rob Gronkowski is missing from the TE list because he suffered a season ending knee injury. There were numerous TDs scored by TEs but overall they performed well below expectations.
