Dear Registered User:

It's that time of year. You should be heading into NFL Week #13 with one thing in mind: avoiding a DNQ! You know… "Did Not Qualify" … To avoid the dreaded DNQ and finish strong, keep two things in mind:

  1. What can you do, right now, to get in the playoffs?
  2. What overall strategy will help you win the championship?

Here's what's in store for this week:

Playoff Tips and Tactics
PLA Hits and Misses

Super Sleeper: the Vikings are Coming!

Playoff Strategies and Tactics
See below for tips and players that can help you make the playoffs.

When in doubt – go with the players that are on a team that has something to play for. Colts, Bears and Chargers want that home field throughout the playoffs. And of course teams that are scrapping to get in like the Bengals, Cowboys and Chiefs. These teams will be playing their starters week in and week out as they treat each contest like a playoff game.

Considering some last minute roster moves? Here are some players that can help you now and possible solid #3s on your roster for the playoffs. If they are available take a serious look:

  • Ben Utecht, TE Colts: With Dallas Clark injured he’s getting a lot of looks from Peyton Manning and it helps when you have Wayne and Harrison for defenses to worry about.
  • Jason Campbell, QB Washington Redskins: Good match-up this week against a poor Atlanta Defense. He could put up better numbers this weekend than some Studs.
  • Nate Washington, WR Pittsburgh Steelers: With Hines Ward out this week and his solid play as a #3 WR; he’s got a good match-up this week against Tampa Bay.

Be sure to catch this week's podcast for more strategies and tactics.

PLA Hits and Misses
The Power Line-Up Analyzer (PLA) hit on a lot of QBs in Week 12, coming within 20 yards of actual passing yards on many of them. Here are just a few results.

Super Sleeper: the Vikings are Coming!
Our last Super Sleeper this year is Vikings WR Marcus Robinson. Clearly the only Vikings WR who puts up any type of fantasy points consistently, in weeks 14-16 Robinson faces the Lions, Jets, and Packers, who rank 20th, 22nd, and 29th respectively against the pass. If Robinson can stay healthy (a big IF given his lengthy injury history) he makes one of those free agent pickups right now that could pan out big for you if you're worried about inconsistent play from your starters, or worried about your starters resting in those critical late weeks if their NFL team has wrapped up its playoff seed. Get more great advice in this week's podcast.
