Out on a Fantasy Football Limb Playoff Edition 4

Ryan Lester
It's Playoff Time, but I'm still going out on that fantasy football limb. I will pick three players I think will score more points than a higher profile player. The scoring is 6 points for rushing or receiving TD, 4 points for a passing TD, .1 points per yard for rushing or receiving and .05 points per passing yard. First, I'll recap how I did during the Divisional Round.

Last Week
Brett Favre 19.7 beat Eli Manning +5 18.1 (13.1 plus five spotted points) as I predicted.
Laurence Maroney 17.1 beat Brandon Jacobs +2 15.5 (13.5 actual plus two spotted points) as I predicted.
Donald Driver 20.1 beat Vincent Jackson 9.3 WHICH I GOT WRONG.

Last Week's Picks: 2-1
Breakdown: QB: 1-0, RB: 0-1, WR: 0-1

Overall Playoff Picks: 3-6
Breakdown: QB: 1-2, RB 1-2, WR: 1-2

Overall Record
Regular Picks: 45-49-1
Super Stretch Picks: 12-5
Overall: 57-54-1
Breakdown: QB: 9-13, RB: 28-19-1, WR: 19-22

This Week's Picks
Tom Brady over Eli Manning +6
I'll trust that Brady's ankle will hold up and he'll have another solid Super Bowl showing. I think the big stage may be a little too bright for young Eli. I'll spot him six points and take the MVP.

Brandon Jacobs over Laurence Maroney
Maroney has been lights out. I think he'll actually outgain the big man, but I think Jacobs is more likely to hit paydirt.

Plaxico Burress over Randy Moss
I saw Randy's face on a milk carton this morning. Aside from his legal issue, Randy has been pretty silent thus far. I think that may continue on Sunday. Plax has been a force. He's got such a height advantage. Plus, the time off should help his bumps and bruises.

    No it's not. I follow through to the end. I'll have a Pro Bowl edition next week.
