Worth the Risk?
Fantasy Football Brothers cruises into Week 15, so get on board, this is a big week for fantasy owners. This is the week that is do or die, no one wants to be left out of their leagues prize pool.
In Week 15 there are many concerns with the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints. Will they or won’t they rest their players? It’s the time that teams think about getting healthy for the playoffs, and for fantasy owners there is no worse time. One player we received alot of questions about was Joseph Addai of the Colts. In my opinion he is a “risky” play going into the Jacksonville game because he has a banged up knee. The Colts may choose to go with a tandem of Mike Hart and Chad Simpson, my advice would be to play it safe if you have other suitable starting backs.
There are alot of decent matchups in Week 15, the Dallas Cowboys will go into the Superdome and try to trip up a perfect New Orleans Saints team. The Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans square off and these are two teams trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. The San Francisco 49ers, fresh off their dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals travel East to take on the streaking Philadelphia Eagles, winners of four in a row. The Cincinnati Bengals, who are still trying to prove they belong, take on the San Diego Chargers, winners of eight in a row, that’s right, eight in a row. The Chargers have been overshadowed by the undefeated likes of the Colts and Saints, but they are playing good football.
