Every year the fantasy landscape is littered with teams that bow out early in the playoffs after being the overall “Points For” leader throughout the regular season, all because they failed to transition their team for the playoffs. Here’s my 5 leading candidates to be week 14-15 playoff loss contributors as of right now.
#1 LenDale White: caveat: if they beat Indy Monday night. The Titans could hold a 3.5 game cushion on the conference and are a great candidate to bench starters late season. Even if they don’t, Tennessee draws the Steelers week 16 and the Pittsburgh could find themselves needing to win that one badly.
#2 Santana Moss: @ Baltimore, @ Cincy and vs. Philly weeks 14-16. At Cincy will be the Clinton Portis show. Not a single matchup outside of the top 10 in yds passing allowed when the games matter most
#3 Braylon Edwards: The schedule just never lets up. @ Tenn. @ Philly and vs. Cincy to close out the year.
#4 Tony Romo: If you’re fielding calls from anybody looking to “buy-low” on Romo, don’t get greedy and take what you can. @ Pittsburgh, vs G-Men and vs Baltimore is an absolute buzzsaw. Even if Romo manages to stay upright, he’ll come up small when it matters most.
#5 Randy Moss: Time and time again, we as fantasy owners seriously underestimate the grind of cross country trips. The Jets @ Oakland and San Diego to Buffalo this past weekend are prime examples. Week 14 the Pats trek to Seattle for a Sunday evening matchup and then head right back out the following week to Oakland. On paper, New England has a sweet “vs. pass” playoff schedule.
Be sure you sell that fact when you deal away Randy because, I’m not saying he’ll disappoint in both of these games – but mark my words; Moss will lay an egg this year when you need him most.
Add others please.
