Fantasy Football Week 13 Quarterbacks: Who To Add, Drop and Ignore

Fantasy playoff time is upon us. 

Most fantasy leagues are only a week or two away from that time of year you've all been waiting for. With the unpredictable 2010 NFL season, Week 13 may very well determine if you make the cut or just fall short.

One league I'm in, for example, has only seen two teams clinch, with seven teams vying for the remaining four playoff slots. Week 13 will decide things for all of them.

Here are the quarterbacks that might be on your radar as we head into this important fantasy football week.

Pickups

Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs

Don't look now, but the former Tom Brady backup has quietly been rocking the National Football League.

On Sunday, Cassel threw four touchdowns to bring his 2010 total to 22. He also has 2,307 passing yards on the year.

Somehow he is still available in 45 percent of Yahoo! leagues. If you are in one of those leagues, look no further for your quarterback help.

Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams

Another QB that has been rocking out stats is young Bradford. 

Also, much like Cassel, Bradford is flying under the fantasy radar. He is still out there in 57 percent of Yahoo! leagues despite 2,466 yards and 17 touchdowns on the year.

Far better QB option than some of these guys I'm seeing people pick up.

Kerry Collins, Tennessee Titans

Collins is day-to-day. If he doesn't play Sunday, he's likely to go next week.

With Vince Young on IR and Rusty Smith's putrid outing against Houston, Collins will play when healthy, and he is currently available in 98 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Ignore

Jon Kitna, Dallas Cowboys

As soon as Tony Romo threw some passes in practice, many started to dump Kitna. There is no reason for this.

Just last week it was news that Romo's collarbone was still fractured. Don't make any moves on Kitna just yet. He's been playing too well to dump over rumors that Romo might be back, as we don't know if he will be yet.

Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings

All it apparently takes is a win and no picks for some to turn back to Favre. 

Far better options out there. There are still allegations of improper conduct looming, and NFL injury reports have now been pushed to their limits with Favre this year. Yes, he keeps playing, but eventually the combination of the allegations with the foot, elbow, shoulder, chin, sinus and black plague will catch up to him.

Good news for the Vikings is that the Brett Favre version of the classic Operation board game is being praised for managing to include all his real-life ailments.

Drop/Trade Bait

Rusty Smith, Tennessee Titans

Yep, there are people who went that way for Week 12.

Rusty went 17-of-31 for 138 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions against the worst pass defense in the league, with guys like Chris Johnson and Randy Moss on his offense.

If you took a chance on him, it's time for a little dose of CLR to remove this Rust from your team.

Derek Anderson, Arizona Cardinals

After playing a terrible game on Monday night, Anderson went on a cuss-filled tirade with a reporter and stormed off.

Dump him. He's done.
