Fantasy Football Week 13: Eli Manning and More Guaranteed Stars To Start

One of the most painful things you can do in life is put your trust in Eli Manning, or the New York Giants for that matter. Follow me as we enter into a week of tumult and come out clean on the other side. 

This is not the article to waste your time. Of course start any man named Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. This is the time to wade through the nightmare of inconsistent stars that can hardly be counted on to produce from week to week. 

The playoffs are knocking on the door, and some of you are afraid to answer with the starters you currently employ. Here are the names that cause heartache but will be tried and true in Week 13. 

Rest assured that the following players will be just fine from a fantasy perspective, and that's all we can ask for. 

Eli Manning

The Giants are walking into disaster on Sunday against the Packers. But who cares? This is fantasy land, folks. Aaron Rodgers may torch a lackluster defense, but Peyton's little brother will do the same to the Packers secondary. 

Green Bay is great at two things, scoring and making opposing quarterbacks look awesome. Stick Manning in your lineup and reap the rewards. 

Tim Tebow

Tebow has slowly, but not the least bit quietly, emerged as a stout starter for deep leagues. However, his sub-20 point production the last few weeks make other stars far more desirable as starters. 

This week, the Broncos savior will be good for just about any team not currently sending Rodgers or Brady out there. The Vikings are soft against QBs and will allow Tebow to do as he pleases. 

Ben Roethlisberger

Big Ben has been absolutely mediocre for the last few weeks. Now he faces a Bengals team that is solid on defense. 

We have already seen what Roethlisberger can do against them with an injured thumb in Week 10. He should be even better with time to heal. Get him in your lineup.
