Bruno Boys Cavigs: NEITHER. The 49ers passing game has played better of late but Bruce disappears from game at times and shouldn't be counted on to put up a healthy amount of points on a weekly basis.
Bruno Boys Whooley: ONE WEEK WONDER. I understand that a Mike Martz offense can lead to good fantasy numbers for wide receivers, as evidenced by Bruce's 18 points against Dallas, but the inconsistency Bruce has shown this season frightens me. In the five weeks prior to the 18 point performance, Bruce had just 13 combined points.
Bruno Boys Ziza: ONE WEEK WONDER. When there is a big game on the line such as the Dallas one, what do you think Martz is going to do? I will tell ya, use his most noted weapon that he is familiar with. If Gore was producing one inkling last week Bruce would not have done what he had done. When the dust settles on this glorious season, Bruce will find himself staring at that week as his best from there on out.

4. Ashley Lelie - 15 points @ Denver
Bruno Boys Cavigs: ONE WEEK WONDER. Lelie started out the season as the Raiders go-to receiver and than disappeared for two months. Plus, he played with an extra incentive in this game because Denver was the team that cut him two years ago. Bottom line: keep him on your league's waiver wire.
Bruno Boys Whooley: ONE WEEK WONDER. Half of Lelie's 30 fantasy points on the season came in this game. Do you really want to trust a guy who was missing for 10 games this season?
Bruno Boys Ziza: ONE WEEK WONDER. The Raiders do not face the Broncos every week and considering that Lelie did all of his damage on only 4 receptions, having totaled only 7 receptions the past 4 games combined. There is no way he does this again and again and again.

Week 13 Weekly Match-ups! (Who'll Have the Better Week?)
1. Shaun Hill vs. Trent Edwards
Bruno Boys Cavigs: EDWARDS. Shaun Hill has played surprisingly well from a fantasy standpoint, but Edwards was back on track last week and should have a field day against the 29th-ranked 49ers pass defense. In fact, Edwards makes a good Week 13 plug-n-play option.
Bruno Boys Whooley: EDWARDS. West Coast teams have not fared well when traveling East, and that will be the case here as the Bills will handedly defeat the Niners. With that being the case, look for Edwards to finish with the better day.
Bruno Boys Ziza: EDWARDS. I really don't think either player should be sitting in someone's fantasy football lineup if their season is on the line, but when it comes down to it, it is Edwards not Hill that I would plug in this week.

2. Willis McGahee vs. LeRon McClain vs. Ray Rice
Bruno Boys Cavigs: MCCLAIN. Trying to predict which Baltimore running back will be the top option from week-to-week isn't worth anyone's time. However, McClain had the big Week 12, so I give him the edge until John Harbaugh decides otherwise.
Bruno Boys Whooley: MCCLAIN. Over the past two weeks, McClain has gone for double-digit fantasy points in each of the Ravens' games, while Rice and McGahee have combined for a mere seven points over that span. You have to go with the hot hand here.
Bruno Boys Ziza: RICE. With the season winding down, McGahee not producing once again and the two young RB's going head to head I think it is Rice's gig to lose. But one thing is for sure, we have all written off McGahee a few times this year only for him to prove us wrong. Anything can happen. If your season is on the line, don't play any of these RB's.

3. Dallas Clark vs. Kellen Winslow
Bruno Boys Cavigs: CLARK. My gut tells me Winslow, but he has done nothing to warrant me taking him over the steady Clark. The safe choice is Clark, but don't be surprised if Winslow gets back on track this week.
Bruno Boys Whooley: CLARK. Not only has Winslow not been in sync with Derek Anderson, who will once again be under center for the Browns this weekend, but he also has to face a Colts' pass defense that has allowed just four scores on the year.
