Best of the Best Week 16

Alright guys, it's time again for the Best of the Best segment for Week 16. Last week was little bad because of some unexpected performances from the Giants/Redskins game, but I think we can do better this week. In this segment, I will give you some advice on who you should start on your fantasy teams, or just an overall layout of each game this Saturday. Let's get started:

1. Quarterback: Eli Manning (Giants), Michael Vick (Eagles), and Tony Romo (Cowboys). First, we'll start off with the rival game: Eagles vs. Cowboys. Boy, who would've thought the Eagles would have a very good chance to make the playoffs at this point in the season. But when you look at these two quarterbacks, you have to say that they will perform great. Sure, Michael Vick has only thrown a couple of touchdowns for the past few games, but he's going against this Rob Ryan defense who has lost a lot of games for the Cowboys. But when I look at Tony Romo, I get a little scared. This Eagles defense has played extremely well these last few games, and I don't think they will just lay an egg in an important game. But, Tony Romo is arguably playing the best at this quarterback position in the NFC East. I'm not totally sold on Romo, but he could be a solid play. Now to Eli Manning. Look, he threw 3 interceptions last week against the Redskins, but I don't think they were his fault. The corners for the Redskins made 2 great interceptions off of him (tipped ball and one-handed catch) and another was Manningham's fault for not running the right route. But I still like him a lot in this game. He's got a talented group of receivers if they would only catch the ball for him. I like him to play the best game in this division this week.

2. Running Back: McCoy (Eagles), Bradshaw (Giants). These two running backs are the best in the division because of their speed and playmaking abilities, so I think they will have a great game. McCoy is playing the best of any running back, with 5 or 6 touchdowns in his last 2-3 games. He is exploding off the line and no one seems to be able to stop him. Bradshaw had less success last week because the Giants got down early. He had 9 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown, which is a good average. So I like him against this Jets defense who is 16th in defending the rush. Look for him to have a great day. Many of you are probably asking, "What about Helu with the Redskins?" Well, he would be a great play, if he was 100% healthy. He sustained some injuries against the Giants, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play at all. This Redskins organization is trying to prepare for next season, and Helu is very much a part of their plan.

3. Wide Receivers: All of them. This division is certainly not hurting in the WR position. I mean, you take the Giants who, in my opinion, are the best in the division when it comes to their wide receivers. Nicks had a horrible game last week, but I think that all three of their receivers will bounce back in a must-win situation. Next, look at the Cowboys. With Bryant, Austin, and Robinson, they are playing at a great level as well. If Tony Romo can have some success against this red-hot Eagles defense, they could have a big day as well. The Redskins also have some talented receivers in Gaffney, who has become great the last few games, and Moss, who has slipped in under the radar. In a game against the 2-12 Vikings, these guys could have some success in scoring some points, especially if Helu doesn't start. And lastly, we come to the Eagles. I don't know about these guys. They have a lot of talent and speed, but can we trust them after what happened in the beginning of the season? And what about McCoy? Doesn't he hurt the chances of Vick throwing more often if McCoy is having a great season? I don't know, but I like them this game against this Rob Ryan defense. They could have a huge game if Vick can limit his turnovers.

Well, that's it for Part 1 of the Best of the Best Week 16. Part 2 will be up later, so stay tuned, and make sure to subscribe to me via email to be notified when I post more articles.
