Playoff Fantasy Football – Divisional Playoff Fantasy Advice

Filed under NFL Player Analysis, Who to Start
Looking to start the best of the best this week in your playoff fantasy football league? Look no further than these players.
QB Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Brady had perhaps the best season ever by an NFL quarterback. This week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Patriots will depend on his arm to lead the team to victory. The Jaguars have a tough defense, especially against the run. Expect Brady to be throwing early and often, finishing with at least two touchdown passes.
RB LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
The Chargers will be looking to get the ball to Tomlinson early and often. If Antonio Gates likely out with an injured toe, Tomlinson will be asked to carry an even larger than usual load. Although the Colts have a very potent defense, Tomlinson is the best running back in the business. In fantasy football, if you can start Tomlinson, you start him – no questions asked.
WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots
When Brady is slinging passes around the field of play, his favorite target will be Moss. Moss had a monster year and will be looking to carry that momentum into the playoffs. Against the Jaguars, Moss will most likely run a number of deep routes. Expect Brady and Moss to hookup for at least one touchdown this week.
TE Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Witten joined Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson in Mexico during the Cowboys’ week off. That could be a good omen this week as Romo will likely look for Witten a lot, even if Terrell Owens is healthy to play. Witten has the toughness to thrive in the playoffs and he should do well this week – unless, of course, there is basis to the rumors of a Jessica Simpson Curse.
