Predicting how long players will go in week 17 is starting to give me a twitch. Listening to coaches and players talk about playing time is about as productive as watching Jersey Shore for moral guidance.
Here are some noteworthy happenings in the NFL:
Tom Brady: He says he will play the whole game, but Peyton Manning hinted at similar things last week and was yanked and not in the way he would prefer.
Please, blog, may I have some more?There are tons of playoff slots still up in the air so we should have a fun week 17 as fans and fake footballers. Good luck this week!
1 pm Games
San Francisco @ St. Louis
Alex Smith is just too erratic to trust to lead your team to the promised land, even if you were only promised an empty lot under the train. The matchup is good, but I’d feel better about using Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree.

Good morning Razzballers (or good whatever time of day you are reading this). The fantasy season is winding down, but the NFL never sleeps! Aren’t you looking forward to the Pro Bowl?!! Yeah, me neither. They did change up things to possibly make it more interesting, but still, they don’t really play football. It’s like having an All-Star Pro Boxing match. I’m watching the NFL Combine this offseason and I think it will be more entertaining.

There won’t be any players this week suggested under the “grab in free agency” tag. If you’re going to make any acquisitions you may as well use a waiver claim; what’s the point in not using your claims and attempting to move up the ladder?

Week 16 had a lot of big scorers come from odd names: Brandon Jackson, Jabar Gaffney, Darren Sproles, and not Curtis Painter. Hopefully you sat your Colts except for Austin Collie and started only players who scored lots of points!
I know not everybody’s league is over, including the RCL leagues, so we’ll be going into as much detail about injuries and matchups for week 17 as we have for the whole season.

Today is the day! For most of us still going our championship game is today. We still don’t know what the Colts are going to do with their starters and I have a feeling Caldwell isn’t exactly sure either, which makes them a little risky no matter what your world view is.

Sunday 1PM
Tampa Bay (30th) @ New Orleans (24th)
Derrick Ward was a late addition to the injury report after looking like he would become the main back. If Ward doesn’t go Cadillac Williams would see the bul of the work and could be a decent flex play in the right scenario.

For this week I decided to tweak the rushing defensive stats a bit. It always seems odd that we don’t take into account how defenses defend running back receptions. In fantasy, receiving yards count just as much to a RB as they do to a receiver. So I added that little nugget in there. See what you think!

It’s down to the wire and you need all the stats to cram into your head like the stuffing you’re cramming into that dead bird. So here you go!
Oh, and if you haven’t done it yet, enter our week 16 contest.
