Green Bay Packers-Baltimore Ravens: Monday Night Fantasy Start/Sit
It's Week 13 . This is a huge Monday night show-down between two respectable teams, both out to prove that they're for real, and both equally talented.
And from a fantasy perspective, there's quite a few "obvious" notes that you should have jotted down about 13 weeks ago. But in case you forgot, or stopped caring, take a quick refresher course, then read on for a breakdown of all the guys on both teams that could help you out in a jam this week.
The must-starts : Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Ray Rice, Derrick Mason

Team Breakdowns:
Green Bay Packers
RB Ryan Grant (Start )
Grant doesn't normally show up against strong run defenses, but with the estimated success Aaron Rodgers and Co. will have against the Ravens' vulnerable pass defense, it's a good possibility Grant gets some nice action on screens, and could even find his way to a touchdown.
We don't especially like Grant in this match-up, but we're picking him over (and only over) Willis McGahee.
WR James Jones (Start)
Jones may be the fourth option in the Packers passing game, but the fact that he has recorded four catches in three of his past four games, and three catches in four straight, shows he's still a key player in the offense.
He's much more active than Jordy Nelson, and is slightly more reliable than Mark Clayton, especially considering the match-up advantage.
WR Jordy Nelson (Sit)
Nelson is still active in the offense and will occasionally get looks, especially since the Packers like to pass the ball. Things could be even better for him this week as Green Bay will likely have their rush offense stopped early and often, and won't have any trouble going to the air against a horrible Ravens pass defense.
Nelson has registered eight catches in his past three games, which isn't bad at all for his role, but we still like James Jones ahead of him this week.
TE Jermichael Finley (Start)
Finley has caught 10 passes in his past two contests since returning from injury, and recorded 12 catches in his previous three games prior to his injury.
We know that Donald Lee is in the mix as well, but Finley's potential going up against this sketchy Ravens pass defense is too good to ignore.
Finley is the easy choice of the three options this week.
Baltimore Ravens
QB Joe Flacco
Obviously it's too late to make a call on Flacco (unless you have Rodgers), so you're either running with him or you're conceding defeat before the game even starts. Actually, that might be the case, regardless.
Still, you do have something working in your favor. While Flacco has reverted to his passive style of 2008, he'll still likely be forced to pass more than Baltimore would like to, and as long as he gets enough balls in Ray Rice's hands, there's some hope that magic will happen.
RB Willis McGahee
If he's going up against Ryan Grant in your line-up, this should be thrown among those other "no-brainers" listed above. However, Grant is facing a tough match-up as well, so we thought we'd be a bit more informative.
McGahee has had a bigger role lately, but the Packers are no slouches against the run, and Ray Rice will be the primary option in the passing game.
WR Mark Clayton (Sit)
Clayton has always had the speed and big-play ability to be a fantasy star, although he's also always lacked the hands and consistency to be truly reliable.
He's the second guy in line behind Derrick Mason, so he has average WR3 value and should be played over Jordy Nelson, but should not be played over James Jones this week. Jones should be very active in this match-up, whereas the inconsistent Clayton is facing the 10th-ranked Packers pass defense.
TE Todd Heap (Sit)
Heap's stats for the season and on a week-to-week basis are very average. While he's reliable enough to get you something every week, he's an absolute dud as a fantasy option.
The Packers are very good against the tight end, but we like Jermichael Finley over Heap and Donald Lee anyway.
