Fantasy Football Playoffs Are Coming

If Jim Mora, Sr. asks, yeah, we want to talk about playoffs.Week 13 in the fantasy football world means there is one more chance to lock up a playoff spot in your league. It's time to get your money back, with interest.

It's been a tough season for every owner with an endless list of stars on the injured reserve list. But, if you made a few smart pickups on the waiver wire, you could still be in the hunt despite losing the likes of Andrew Luck, Jamaal Charles, Tony Romo, Steve Smith, LeVeon Bell, or Dion Lewis. Should I go on?

Most leagues start playoffs in week 14, and there's not much time to pick up help from free agents, if there's any good ones left at this point in the season.

There's a few players that could still be available that could go a long way toward you making the playoffs.

In my league, 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin and Broncos running back C.J. Anderson are both still available.

Boldin has been pretty good this season when healthy, and as the New England Patriots saw on Sunday night, Anderson can put up good numbers. The Denver running back made a name for himself late last season, and seems to be making a resurgence again this year. While Boldin's matchup next week against the Bears is iffy, Anderson could run wild against a bad Chargers run defense.

With Patriots players dropping like flies, there could be some big deals waiting for you on the waiver wire. Guys like running back Brandon Bolden and tight end Scott Chandler will be seeing more targets from Tom Brady with his options dwindling. While the injuries have hurt the star QB's numbers, he was still the #5 scoring quarterback this week according to NFL.com.

If Chandler is already taken and you want to replace the injured Rob Gronkowski for week 13, Bears TE Zach Miller should be available. Miller has put up good numbers considering he's Chicago's TE2, with 4 touchdowns the past 4 week.

Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin has also been on fire recently, making him Russel Wilson's new best friend. Oh, and get on the Thomas Rawls train, because he could be Marshawn Lynch's replacement for good.

So, good luck making it to your fantasy postseason.

That $20 you spent to get into the league? Its time to get it back along with all of your friends' money!
