Fantasy Football: Week 14 Matchups

Saints
Player Rating Notes
Drew    Brees ***** 790 passing yards and seven touchdowns indicate Brees is hitting on all cylinders at the perfect time for fantasy owners entering the playoffs this week.
Pierre    Thomas *** Would be ranked higher if he were the lone ball carrier in New Orleans.  Still has decent value against a bad Falcons defense.
Marques    Colston **** Has been rather inconsistent,    but has scored in back-to-back games.
Robert    Meachem **** Has at least one touchdown    in five consecutive games.  No reason to believe that streak ends    this week.
Devery    Henderson *
Jeremy    Shockey **
Garrett    Hartley **** Should be in scoring position    a lot in this one.
Saints **
 
Falcons
Player Rating Notes
Matt    Ryan ** It’s looking like Ryan    will return this week, but how does the toe injury affect his play on    the field?
Jerious    Norwood ** Norwood had one more carry than Snelling last week, so it’s looking like a 50/50 split at RB.  Unfortunately that means neither is likely to be overly productive.
Jason    Snelling **
Roddy    White **** Had a 100-yard receiving game and a touchdown in the last meeting.  Has scored in back-to-back games, despite being without Ryan.
Michael    Jenkins
Tony    Gonzalez ***** The most consistent Falcons    player all year, Gonzalez continues to produce regardless the circumstances.
Matt    Bryant **
