If you're reading this, you're probably in one of those weird leagues that hasn't gotten the memo that fantasy championships should not be decided in the final week of the NFL season. I'll try to help all I can.

With the fantasy playoffs nearly upon us in most leagues, the stakes are a little higher now. The Crystal Ball is here to help with some of the tough decisions.

The Crystal Ball's Thanksgiving wish for you is that you don't have Eli Manning on your fantasy team.

The end of the bye weeks marks the point where the fantasy football season moves into its home stretch. Now everyone is more or less at full strength, and your decisions as to who starts are no longer made by external factors like who is on the bye. The Crystal Ball helps you with some of the tough decisions you need to make to fill out your lineup. 

After this week, every team in the NFL is halfway done its season, and the bye weeks will be done. This week, the Crystal Ball explores what to do with a couple of the league's new starting quarterbacks, among other things.

With quarterbacks starting to drop like flies and the bye weeks coming to a close, the Crystal Ball looks at some players to start -- and not start -- this week.

This is the second consecutive week where twenty percent of the league has a bye. The Crystal Ball looks at some players who just might get you through this week . . . and some players you shouldn't be counting on.

A full twenty percent of the league has a bye this week, so this is an important time to be creative. The Crystal Ball aims to help you through by recommending some potential starters you might not have been counting on . . . and some guys you may be playing who really should be on the bench.

Every week, the Crystal Ball takes a look at each fantasy position and tells you one player to start that you may have overlooked . . . and one player to bench who you might be counting on.

The Crystal Ball provides its weekly look at some positive matchups you might not have thought of -- and some bad ones as well.
