the rushing game averaged 2.8 yards per carry.Ive got to play better,

Week 16 is championship week for the majority of fantasy football leagues. That means a change in roster strategy if your team is headed to your leagues equivalent of the Super Bowl.Any player you wont be starting should be dropped and you should scour the waiver wire for anyone your opponent might consider picking up to replace one or more starters. This will block any attempt by your opponent to add a player to fill an empty slot. When it gets down to winner take all, stop at nothing within the rules to gain an edge.Heres a look at the waiver options for Week 16.JAMEIS WINSTON (QB, Buccaneers)Fantasy owners ran away from Winston because of poor matchups recently, but the Week 16 matchup with the Saints could be a good one. The Saints offense at home can be quite productive and the Buccaneers need a win to stay in the playoff hunt. Those two factors combined mean that Winston will need to get it done through the air to win what will likely be a high-scoring shootout. Dont get cute and sit a stud for Winston but definitely consider deploying him in two-QB and deeper leagues with minimal options.TOM SAVAGE (QB, Texans)Savage opened some eyes when he stepped in and sparked the Texans offense, completing 23 of 36 passes for 260 yards without a TD or interception. The Titans play the Jaguars, whose pass defense allows an average of just 14.1 fantasy points to quarterbacks. While some may be tempted based on this weeks production, it isnt a good idea to use a green rookie in his first start in the NFL.TY MONTGOMERY (RB, Packers)The Packers finally resigned themselves to using Montgomery on a full-time basis at running back and it paid off handsomely in Week 15. Montgomery wont rack up 162 yards with two TDs against the Vikings but he should be good enough for solid RB2 production against a defense that has quit on the coach.KENNETH DIXON (RB, Ravens)Dixon was only given 15 snaps in Week 15 and the Ravens annoying use of the hot hand approach at running back is difficult to predict. The Steelers have one of the better rushing defenses in the league but theyve still allowed 13 rushing touchdowns and will have a tough time containing Dixon on pass plays out of the backfield. Dont hesitate to use Dixon in a flex spot for Week 16.ROBBY ANDERSON (WR, Jets)Anderson only received half as many targets as usual from quarterback Bryce Petty in Week 15 but still led the team in reception yards, and he scored the only touchdown. Andersons value is tied directly to Petty, who sustained an injury that is not expected to sideline him for Saturdays matchup with the Patriots. If the Jets go back to Ryan Fitzpatrick, which is unexpected at this point, then Andersons fantasy value drops. If Petty plays, Anderson will be a decent WR4 or flex play as long as you dont expect a touchdown. The Patriots bend dont break defense will likely keep the Jets out of the end zone barring a bad mistake in the secondary.TAYLOR GABRIEL (WR, Falcons)Even if Julio Jones returns to the field for Week 16, Gabriel has more than proven his value to the Falcons and fantasy owners. The same cannot be said for Aldrick Robinson, whose value is diminished if Jones plays. The matchup with the Panthers, who allow an average of 23.1 fantasy points to wide receivers, is favorable for the Falcons receivers. A decision about Jones will depend on his ability to practice, especially Wednesday. So, keep an eye out for the practice reports later in the week but dont hesitate to use Gabriel regardless.DONTRELLE INMAN (WR, Chargers)Inman continues to receive a steady diet of targets from Philip Rivers and produce serviceable yardage totals. Week 15 was his first game without a TD since Week 10 but dont let that discourage you, especially since the Bolts are matched up against the NFL doormat Cleveland Browns.MALCOLM MITCHELL (WR, Patriots)Mitchell was quiet against the Broncos but that was expected. The Patriots play the Jets in Week 16, though, and they can be beaten through the air. Only three teams have allowed more TD receptions than the Jets 27. Mitchell will be targeted often and should find the end zone. Chris Hogan is also a good recommendation, as hell get a few chances to catch a long bomb for a TD.JESSE JAMES (TE, Steelers)Surprise, surprise -- Ladarius Green is in the NFL concussion protocol. Green has a long history of concussions, which makes this latest one all the more concerning. There is a good chance he will not return this season. The loss of Green makes Jesse James the primary tight end again, and hes been productive when given the opportunity to contribute. Grab him if he was dropped due to Greens recent rise on the depth chart.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.comAuthentic Jordan 11 For Sale Cheap .

Jordan Retro 11 Clearance .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.The showdown between two of the NFLs hottest teams could be decided by a single digit. In this case, that digit happens to be the middle finger on Matthew Staffords throwing hand.Stafford reportedly suffered torn ligaments and a dislocation in the first quarter of the Detroit Lions 20-17 win over Chicago last Sunday. He threw two interceptions, including a pick six, after having the finger taped and putting a glove on his hand. Stafford still led his club to its eighth fourth-quarter comeback victory, the most by any team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.Detroit, which leads the NFC North, will try to extend its winning streak to six games when it faces the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The Giants have won seven of their last eight games, including a gritty 10-7 victory over NFC East leader Dallas last Sunday night.I expect it to be extremely competitive, Stafford said. Theyre playing for a lot and were playing for a lot. Its an NFC game and its going to be a big one. So were excited for the opportunity. Its great to be in this position; weve just got to go out there and play well.His finger complicates that process. The Lions pedestrian running game puts added pressure on Stafford to carry the offense. Hes ninth in the league in both completion percentage (66.7) and passing yards (3,447). Hes also tossed 22 touchdown passes and was intercepted just five times prior to the injury.Stafford, who scored the game-winning touchdown against the Bears with a 7-yard scramble, hopes the injury will be less of an issue with a week to experiment on equipment and treatment options. Hes unsure whether hell wear a glove against the Giants. An early forecast of inclement weather could force another in-game adjustment.Its never fun when its on your throwing hand but Ill figure it out and well go from there, he said. (The glove) is not really for my state of mind, its for whats going to be functional. So whatevers most functional, with what I can perform the best with, thats what Ill go with.Staffords job wont be any easier if Detroit is missing its leading rusher once again. Theo Riddick, who is most effective as a receiver out of the backfield, sat out against the Bears with wrist and ankle injuries and is doubtful. One of his backups, Zach Zenner, is in the leagues concussion protocol and is questionable.With three games remaining, the Lions (9-4) could wrap up their firstt NFC North title with a victory on Sunday and a Green Bay loss.dddddddddddd The Packers and Minnesota Vikings are tied for second place with 7-6 records and Detroit already holds the tiebreaker over Minnesota after sweeping the season series.The Lions dont have any soft touches remaining on the schedule. They have to play the Cowboys in Dallas the night after Christmas, then face the Packers at home on New Years Day.In head coach Jim Caldwells mind, the upcoming games arent any different from the ones his team just played.It didnt matter what the Bears record was last week, he said. That game still had a lot of magnitude. It was very, very important. This one is exactly the same. It just so happens, and thats how its going to be down the stretch, that youve got a team thats playing very, very well and thats riding high.The Giants (9-4) kept their division title hopes alive by defeating the Cowboys for the second time this season. They diffused the Dallas attack despite the absence of defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who underwent sports hernia surgery last week and is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season. New York forced three turnovers, sacked rookie quarterback Dak Prescott three times and held Dallas to 260 total yards.Other than the crossing route that wide receiver Odell Beckham turned into a 61-yard touchdown reception, the Giants offense was a virtual no-show on Sunday. Quarterback Eli Manning threw an interception and lost two fumbles and the rushing game averaged 2.8 yards per carry.Ive got to play better, Manning said. Got to find completions, got to protect the football better. Thats whats got to happen in these types of games. You get into December, youve got to protect the football. Thats the most important thing right now.Manning was also picked off twice the previous week in a 24-14 loss to Pittsburgh and has thrown for fewer than 200 yards in the last three games. Fortunately for him, the defense has masked the offenses struggles. Opponents have been held to 20 or fewer points in five of the teams last six victories.Weve got to keep finding ways to win, he said. The defense is playing outstanding, so weve got to help them out. Weve got to score more points, give them a lead and dont make it hard on them. ' ' '
