December Fantasy Players

Just a reminder to all participants -- this month's Fantasy picks carry Weeks 13, 14, 15, and 16. But on Week 17, we are each on our own, picking our personal three pairs of position players!

Now, for this month, we're going to try something a bit crazy. At each position, you'll have a choice between one top player or the combined total of two modestly-accomplished players. Will you go "two for the price of one", or will you put your trust in some of the league's premier players?

At Quarterback this month, you can take Tom Brady who averages 313 yards per game; or you can select both Kellen Clemens (Jets) and J.P. Losman (Bills) who together average 299 yards per start.

At Running Back, you may choose between Adrian Peterson (returning from an injury, but hasn't shown any sign of pain for 7-10 days) who has 120 yards per game played; or you can pick up both Warrick Dunn (Falcons) and Kevin Jones (Lions) with a combined 104 yards per game.

And at Wide Receiver, you might choose Randy Moss with his phenomenal 100 yards per game average; or you could take both Ronald Curry (Raiders) and Ike Hilliard (Bucs) who together net 108 yards per game.

Note: For the pairings, I will add all of the yards each player accrues each week, then divide by the "factor", then round down to nearest whole number.

Stay Alive refreshes for December

You are free to pick any team in the league (that plays on Sunday, December 2nd) for the Stay Alive portion of the pool.
