Most of us only have two more weeks of fantasy football, and some, well, some of us played ESPN.com leagues. That should be closer to 10%.
Add Donte Moncrief
Reggie Wayne's body has officially broken down, and Donte Moncrief continues to try and take advantage.
In Week 14, Moncrief saw 4 targets for the third straight game, catching 3 passes for 33 yards. We can't ignore his big-play ability though, something he showed off against Washington the week prior. He also played 32 more snaps than Hakeem Nicks against Cleveland, making it known that he has indeed won the number-three wide receiving job in the high-powered Colts offense. If you need a boom or bust play in the playoffs, he's a good add.
Drop Arizona Cardinal Receivers
The last time an Arizona Cardinals' receiver finished as a top-10 one in fantasy football? Week 8. Probably just as bad is the fact that the Cardinals' wideout that ends up putting up numbers isn't predictable -- Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown have just three top-20 performances this year, while Michael Floyd has only two. Two of the team's wide receivers have finished in the top 20 during the same week just twice this season as well. With Drew Stanton under center, this offense isn't a reliable one.
Add Alex Smith
Playing Alex Smith in fantasy football is like driving your car with a helmet on.
But Smith will get a Raiders defense that he posted 17.9 fantasy points against a few weeks back, finishing the week as a QB1 (top-12 quarterback). It was the third-best game of his season, and with the contest at home this week, he should be able to come close to that total.
As I like to tell all owners who use Smith -- don't watch the game. Just watch the box score. You'll want to punch a wall if you watch Alex Smith, your fantasy quarterback, throw the ball.
Add the Panthers' Defense
I'm not entirely sure where that Panthers defense has been all year, but it was good to see it return in Week 14 against the Saints. Week 15 presents a great matchup for the Panthers, as they play at home against a bad Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. Six of the Buccaneers last seven opponents have finished as top-15 fantasy defenses, while four of those ranked in the top seven. Though the Panthers have been porous this year, I'd expect them to force a few Josh McCown turnovers.
