FantasyFitz's Championship Minaj A Trois

Don't be that league. Don't be that guy. Don't be that guy that plays in that league that plays in Week 17 for the Championship. This is it. This is what we talk shit for all year. This is Championship Week Fantasy Footballers. 

Viagra Play of the Week - Drew Brees (Saints QB)  
(This guy is guaranteed to erect your point total)

Three weeks back on the Break Down the Blog Podcast I questioned Drew Brees as a legitimate fantasy Quarterback starter the rest of the way. Drew had just gone off against the Steelers on the road in a shocker and I was a little hesitant to think he would keep that going for his next three games. I talked Big Ben and Romo as alternative options and I'm here now to tell you to forget about those alternative options.  I'm all in with Drew this week against the Falcons in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Berry and COCKcroft at ESPN are spot on with their ranking of Drew at numero uno this week. 

Now listen. After Drew wins you a ship this week, please do NOT follow his lead for the 'Perfect Night out in NOLA' during your celebration. Follow our boy Johnny Football's lead with your celebration...

BBW - Eli Manning (Giants QB)
(Blue Balls Warning - This guy will leave you painfully unsatisfied and wanting more)

Ahh shucks, our Week 15 Viagra Play finds his way one section lower in the FantasyFitz Minaj this week. We appreciate what Eli did for us last week but it was one and done. We're not hoping back in bed with him this week. Wish him well, say goodbye, give him cab fair and tell him you'll text him sometime.

Rather than Eli on the road against this stubborn Rams defense consider heading to the scrapheap to pick up the Sanchize or movie star James Flacco

Moped Ride of the Week - Fred Jackson (Bills RB)
(This guy will be fun to ride for the week but you're not going to want to brag to your friends about doing it)

Back in early November while Freddie Action Jackson was hurt I picked him up and stashed him on my bench in a league that I was sitting pretty in. When I stashed Freddie, Andre Ellington was my weekly play in the flex spot. As we all know, Ellington went down shortly after and I've been playing flex play musical chairs ever since with Tre Mason, the other Cardinal backs and whatever crafty wideouts I could scoop up off the wire. I haven't considered Freddy for that spot because....
  • He's old
  • He is recovering from an injury
  • Old people don't recover from injuries that well
  • He played my NY Jets during that time period 
  • He also played the Pack and the Broncos
That all changes this week because...
  • He plays the Raiders
And no, I don't care that C.J. Spiller looks to be back. 

Best of luck to all of the NY Morning Wood Sports Fantasy Footballers trying to capture their ship this week. Especially my PIP/Bloggin Brother from another Mother!
