Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

It's playoff time in fantasy football land. Hopefully you've made it this far, and the lucky ones out there are sitting pretty with a bye in the first round. For the rest of us, it's win or go home! Make sure you also check out our waiver pickups and our week 13 injury wrap-up.

If you're in a two QB league, Kirk Cousins is a streaming/bench option that might be worth checking out this week. He does travel to Chicago, but the Bears have been weak this year and DeSean Jackson is demanding the ball and should put up a big game.

Matt Stafford is just what the Rams defense needs to get back on the right track. Keep Stafford on your bench in two QB leagues, as he's struggled all year long and goes back on the road after he couldn't keep up the magic from Thanksgiving.

Ryan Mathews is expected back this week, and after seeing DeMarco Murray get only 8 carries last week, Mathews is a guy that could reach RB2 numbers this week. Keep an eye on the injury report later in the week and throw Mathews into your flex if you need a fill in.

Keep an eye on C.J. Anderson's injury status, but even if he goes, I'd recommend sitting him. Anderson has been inconsistent, and the Broncos are not afraid to just lean on one of the guys on any given week. This week, that guy is more likely to be Ronnie Hillman.

Tavon Austin is a decent flex play this week, as the Rams get a chance to get healthy against the Lions. Austin is a gadgety guy, and that's exactly what can spark the Rams offense. I predict that Austin will have two TD's this week.

Golden Tate is a guy who people may still be holding on to hope for, but this week he's our #48 WR. Keep him on your bench - the Lions are who we thought they were.

Welcome back to the article geared to strike it big in the Fanduel Sunday Millions. I was on hiatus last week, but back now and ready to help you make some cash. This week we are going full upside on a boom or bust QB/WR stack, grab some great value plays at the RB position and rolling with a single team’s defense and kicker. Good luck this week!

QB  - Tyrod Taylor, BUF - $7,500 at PHI:  After topping at least 26 fantasy points the past two weeks Taylor looks to be a great value play against an Eagles team allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing QBs this season.

RB - Doug Martin, TB - $8,000 vs. NO:  Anyone playing against the Saints defense should be a considered play, but especially Martin since he will be a lock for 20 plus touches in this game.

RB - Lamar Miller, MIA - $6,600 vs. NYG:  The Dolphins new offensive coordinator in Miami appears to be committed to a running game as Miller had his first game over 20 touches of the season.

WR - Alshon Jeffery, CHI - $7,500 vs. WAS:  The Bears are extremely thin at the receiver position which means Jeffery should be in line for double digit targets this week against the Redskins.

WR - Sammy Watkins, BUF - $7,200 at PHI:  Stacking Watkins with Taylor this week to increase the point upside. Watkins has 267 yards and three touchdowns over the last two weeks.

WR - Brandin Cooks, WAS - $7,100 at TB:  The loss of Mark Ingram for the season should provide more opportunities for other play makers on the Saints.

TE - Greg Olsen, CAR - $6,600 vs. ATL:  Expecting Olsen to find the end zone at least once it what could be a high scoring divisional grudge match.

K - Cairo Santos, KC - $4,700 vs. SD :  Santos has been high risk high reward all season but his point floor should get a boost against the Chargers susceptible defense.

DEF - Chiefs, KC - $4,800 vs. SD:  The Chiefs defense has been on fire lately scoring more fantasy points than any other team the past four weeks. The depleted Chargers shouldn't slow them down.
