This is it! For most, Week 16 means Superbowl. For those who have made it - Congrats! For those falling short - Our condolences. We thank you all for your continued loyalty. We're honored to have you as part of the Brotherhood. Last week, we questioned Calvin Johnson's playoff stock after his recent slump. The stud wide-0ut stepped it up when it counted putting together one of the better performances of his career. He's the sure-fire No. 1 this week. Atlanta will have to keep pace with the Saints if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. Julio Jones and Roddy White should be very active in a game that has all the makings for a shootout. Mike Wallace would traditionally torch the Rams, but with Big Ben's accuracy and power being hampered by an ankle injury - all bets are off. His rank could drop by week's end. Jabar Gaffney continues to be... read more

Laurent Robinson has scored 8 touchdowns in the last 7 weeks, while Dez Bryant has scored in 4 out of his last 5. The return of Miles Austin will target dilute, but all three are very viable options vs. the Bucs. Demaryius Thomas is coming off of a 13 target outing. He's scored 3 TDs in the last 2 Weeks and should have continued success vs. a New England secondary that struggled against Donte Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney. The Falcon aerial attack finally appears to be firing on all cylinders. Roddy White has scored in three straight. After dropping the potential game winning touchdown in Week 13, Julio Jones exploded with 2 scores in Atlanta's comeback win over the Panthers. The dynamic duo will square off against an underrated Jag defense on Thursday Night. Calvin Johnson has transformed into a WR2 over the... read more

THE MAIN EVENT The Carolina/Detroit game will be a sight to see. Calvin Johnson and Steve Smith are two dominating, yet completely different receivers. Both players had sub-par outings last week. Megatron has passed initial concussion screening and is expected to go. Carolina has no one capable of covering him. Detroit will be unable to contain the explosiveness of Smith. Look for Cam Newton to get back on track. As the NFL transitions more and more into a pass-first league, the number of statistically relevant WRs is increasing. WRs who play opposite known play-makers often benefit from drawing inferior pass-defenders in coverage. Some of the "Best Supporting Wide-Out" nominees include: Mario  Manningham, Jordy Nelson, and Antonio Brown. Manningham appeared to have fallen behind 2cnd year impressor Victor Cruz, only to find pay-dirt in three consecutive weeks. The Giant's talented trio will face-off... read more

As the NFL transitions more and more into a pass-first league, the number of statistically relevant WRs is increasing. WRs who play opposite known play-makers often benefit from drawing inferior pass-defenders in coverage. Some of the "Best Supporting Wide-Out" nominees include: Mario  Manningham, Jordy Nelson, and Antonio Brown. Manningham appeared to have fallen behind 2cnd year impressor Victor Cruz, only to find pay-dirt in three consecutive weeks. The Giant's talented trio will face-off vs. what was thought to be a solid Eagles secondary. The Patriots have the easiest schedule in the league moving forward. Wes Welker will cause Brandon Flowers fits this weekend. The Pats lack of running game is supplemented with dink and dunk passes to Welker. He could very easily finish as this year's top fantasy wide-out. The Carolina/Detroit game will be a sight to see. Calvin Johnson... read more

DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin will make up for their poor performances vs. the Bears. The Cardinals will allow Michael Vick to work the edges. Philly has worked the middle of the field the past few weeks as opposing defenses have keyed in on shutting down Philly's burners on the outside. Zona lacks the corner talent to keep up with this dynamic duo. That being said, Maclin is the far superior and consistent talent. The return on investment on Jackson could be considered "bustable" given his ADP. Shady McCoy's and Mike Vick's success on the ground has made the Eagles more balanced than it has been in years.... Maybe they need to start throwing more? Steve Smith will push Calvin Johnson for the 1 spot. Cam Newton is the perfect fit in Carolina. His arm strength and accuracy were underrated. He's having the best quarterback rookie... read more

Jeremy Maclin will continue to out-produce DeSean Jackson. As opposing defenses focus on shutting down Maclin and DeSean, Jason Avant  will continue to take advantage of the open mid-field. Mike Vick appears to have finally noticed how easily accessible Avant and TE Brent Celek are underneath. If Hakeem Nicks cannot play - we expect Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz to put up Top-10 stats. Manningham's production does not reveal how effective he's been over the past couple of weeks. Victor Cruz continues to show immaturity at times, but he makes up for it with big-play ability. Their names don't carry the same weight as some of the other wide-outs, but New England will allow them to look like superstars this Sunday. Jon Baldwin could be the best late season waiver wire wide-out claim. He has the size and speed combination to give opposing DBs... read more

Larry Fitzgerald continues to struggle at the hands of Kevin Kolb. Kolb's injury status in unknown, but Fitz could be in for his best statistical day of the season vs. a Ram team that has been torched through the air. St. Louis did an impressive job shutting down the Saints, but we'll need to see a little more before we start calling it a trend. The Giants arguably have the best wide receiver trio in the league. Hakeem Nicks left late in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins but is considered day-to-day. Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz will be strong WR2/WR3 plays vs. a New England secondary that just got torched by Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, and Emmanuel Sanders. All three Giant receivers rank in the top 25 in what should be a high scoring event. Eli Manning... read more

Hakeem Nicks returns from the bye healthy - just in time to punish a struggling Miami secondary. Nicks is good for 100 yards and a score. Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz are playing well enough to spread defensive attention. His counterparts may alternate big games, but Nicks will remain consistent. Eli Manning is a solid trade target. Nicks should have his way this Sunday. Mike Wallace lands the No. 1 spot in a very favorable match-up vs. the Patriots. New England has let up the most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Wallace will consistently hit he 100-yard mark, but his under-usage in the 2cnd halves of games this season is lowering his potential. Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown have matured well. If Hines Wards sits, look for Sanders to impress out of the slot. He's a sneaky play. Calvin... read more

Owners are patiently waiting for the league's best to return. With Optimus Prime (Andre Johnson) out with injury. Megatron has taken a firm grasp of the Top spot on this list. AJ is expected to return to practice today. Will he play? Where will he fall in the ranks? We'll see how the week goes. Be sure to tune in Friday for our final ranks and write ups. Marques Colston has exploded back onto the fantasy scene. After struggling through the first quarter of the season with injury, New Orleans' stud WR returns to play, giving the Saints the injection of big-play ability it was lacking. The ceiling for this offense is extremely high. With TE Jimmy Graham creating mismatches and drawing defensive attention - Colston should find himself in more favorable scenarios. He has top-10 potential moving forward. Larry Fitzgerald falls out of... read more
