So, that’s what I thought we’d see more of in the regular season.  And of course I’m referring to TY Hilton’s wild, wild card weekend when he set franchise records for receptions (13), yards (224), and tied the team record of TD receptions (2) when they defeated the Chiefs at home. In fact, Hilton’s yardage is now the third best single game performance in post-season history.  A list that’s headed by the amazing shmun-uh-bluh…yeah, you probably don’t know these guys.  Or maybe I’m just an idiot.  Probably both.  But nevermind all that, let’s discuss a bit on this TY kid.  I liked him coming into the season and so wish this were the TY from game one until now but you can’t rush greatness.  I’m mentioning my TY love so you don’t think I’m bandwagoning here.  What I AM doing is looking at how New England is going to try and match up with the little tyke.  And believe me, he’s a little dude and fast as heck.  All this simply means Talib is probably not covering him much during the game due to the speed discrepancy.  In effect, Hilton could follow up his historic day with another one this weekend as I see Andrew Luck and company in what might amount to another shootout and plenty of passes to go around.  Truthfully, I’d be surprised if there were as many fireworks in the other games.  Since the playoffs really do play out like a new season – just ask the Andy Dalton who couldn’t match his great home numbers last week against what was considered a poor Chargers defense – your rankings have to reflect who you think is gonna win and how.  I think the Colts and Pats are a shootout that’ll eventually turn to Brady and company.  I will fully admit I’m worried about PFM and company.  San Diego really tried to grind down the clock on them the last two times the teams played.  First game, Rivers didn’t play well and the plan looked terrible.  Next time?  Rivers bordered on perfect.  If you’re expecting huge numbers like you’d normally get from your Broncos, I’d err on the side of caution if I’m playing in Daily Fantasy Leagues – and I am and I’m erring – I’m probably avoiding the big price associated.  In all, these rankings shouldn’t be too surprising.  The good defenses are well reflected except the Panthers.  The 49ers are a well-honed playoff team and I think too much jitter is gonna hit Carolina in their first go.  If I can avoid owning any Panthers, I’d like to.  Eh, I’m rambling at this point so I’m just gonna let’er go.  Here’s the second round rankings for the playoffs for the 2013 Fantasy Football season…
