If you’re reading this, congratulations on your playoff berth! It’s been a long, treacherous season for me. And I’m guessing you too. I don’t know any owners who skated through this season with ease. This weekend, I have guys in my starting lineup who weren’t even listed in any of my fantasy football preview magazines. Not even as a courtesy. Some not even on an NFL roster. When you’re deciding between Quinton Ganther and Jason Snelling, your playoff spot is well earned. Ugly, but well earned.
Here are a few playoff pickups who will hopefully advance you to the next round.
Quinton Ganther – The forth Redskins running back to start in six games, Ganther faces a soft Oakland defense. Yahoo Sports reports that the backup wasn’t even on the roster when Clinton Portis suffered a concussion on November 8, which eventually led to a series of one-hit running backs. If you had Steve Slaton (like me), take a look at Ganther.
Davone Bess – Ten receptions, one touchdown and 117 yards got my attention. Especially against the Patriots. The Jaguars defend the run fairly well, potentially opening up more opportunities for Bess this Sunday.
Chris Brown – With Slaton out for the year, Brown was named the Texans starter again. While he'll split carries, Brown is likely to see goal-line action. Good flex option.
Washington defense – Great matchup against Oakland.
