Well we have finally reached the end and for those leagues that play no-holds barred this is the final championship weekend of fantasy football. While there are still plenty of NFL teams with a lot at stake this weekend, there's no question the Week 17 slate of games will present some precarious challenges.
Although it's much of the same gauging those teams with something left to play for, the tough dilemma for this weekend will be to figure out just what the rest (like the Colts, Chargers, & Saints) will be doing. Teams like the Bengals and Patriots are still sitting on the fence and could change their thinking mid-stream (depending on scores and outcomes of other games).
With this the final weekend, the last Championship weekend of the fantasy season, it could be huge dividends to look toward the unlikely to bring home the league trophy. A couple of players that will garner attention for these final league matchups will be players like the Bears wide receiver Devin Aromashodu (31 targets last three weeks), the Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss (averaging 9 targets last six weeks), and the Dolphins wide receiver Davone Bess (38 targets the last four weeks). They may not have all the stats for the season, but their activity level is on the rise and should be paid attention too.
