Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

There's only three weeks left in the fantasy football regular season, so if you haven't started to panic yet, you might want to consider doing so. This week we have a Thursday night NFC South clash and a Monday night game in Mexico City. I'd take both of those into account when setting your lineup - but what effect playing in a smoggy high altitude stadium will have on the Raiders and Texans remains to be seen.

This week, make sure you're getting Stefon Diggs and Golden Tate in your lineup, and avoid Jeremy Hill Darren Sproles. For more lineup advice, ask us on twitter, @drinkfive or join us each week during the podcast Tuesdays @ 8:30pm CST.

The fantasy playoffs are nearly upon us, and the fantasy gods have granted us one week of no byes before they start (next week, the Titans and Browns are off). If you haven't clinched yet, then your playoffs basically start now, so take our advice on who to pick up on the waiver wire and then use our rankings to set your lineups later this week. This is Thanksgiving week, so make sure you check all your lineups on Wednesday night before heading off to the bar, the first game starts at 11:30am CST! The Vikings, Lions, Redskins, Cowboys, Steelers and Colts all play on turkey day.

This week, aside from keeping up with injuries, keep an eye on LeSean McCoy's status, he may be a sit if you're bold enough. Latavius Murray is worthy of a sit if you have other options - he's been splitting way too many carries for my comfort. Finally, look to get DeVante Parker and Mike Wallace in the lineup against bad defenses. Good Luck!
