Championship Week 16: Wide Receivers
December 20th, 2007 | by aaron |Last week was a down week for most receivers, but not to worry this week considering most of the top receivers are either indoors or in warm weather states. Going for single-season records or smiling favorably at their match-ups. This is the one position that you must pay close attention to during these cold winter months. However, this position is also the one that will win your fantasy league championship. Good luck!
Take a look at this week Top-Ten Wide Receivers.
Randy Moss: Moss wants Rice’s single-season record, Brady wants Manning’s single-season record, and the Pats want Miami’s single-season record. Unless a hurricane, monsoon, or some unforeseen winter storm comes through Miami expect Moss to have another big game.
Projected Points: 24
Terrell Owens: Owens matched his worst two games of the season over the past two weeks. That’s probably not good for a Panthers team which allows 212 yards per game and have allowed a total of 19 touchdowns.
Projected Points: 21
Marques Colston: Since week 8 of the NFL season Colston has managed 118 fantasy points and an average of 14 per game. The Saints have turned it around and are looking for a playoff spot.
Projected Points: 20
Andre Johnson: Johnson’s motivation this week is the fact that the Colts will rest starters offensively and defensively. His other motivation is he missed half of the regular season due to injury and would like to pass the 1,000 yard mark through eight games.
Projected Points: 19
Braylon Edwards: With playoff hopes still alive and having the best season of his short career consider Edwards a lock this week. In Cleveland’s last meeting with the Bengals Edwards went off for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
Projected Points: 18
Greg Jennings: With the Bears struggling and the Packers looking to win out in hopes for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs Jennings is once again ready to shine. Since the midway point of the season Jennings stands at the top of amongst receivers.
Projected Points: 18
Larry Fitzgerald: Maybe we think that the Cardinals have nothing to play for, but guaranteed the NFL is the only league where stars want to shine in every game. The dysfunctional Falcons come to Arizona this week and thats easy pickings for Fitzgerald.
Projected Points: 17
Hines Ward: Last week the Rams gave up 227 passing yards and two touchdowns to a hot Brett Favre. Roethlisberger is hot also and Ward will find himself in an ideal situation in St. Louis.
Projected Points: 16
Chad Johnson: Johnson is in the same boat as “Housh”. They play a bad defense and there would be no better time than now to spoil the Browns playoff aspirations.
Projected Points: 15
T.J. Houshmanzadeh: The Bengals are struggling offensively, but against one of the leagues worst pass defenses they should once again find success.
Projected Points: 14
