regarding playoff schedules

a few nuggets from espn fantasy regarding good and bad fantasy playoff schedules -

*it's almost unfair that Brady Quinn, Daunte Culpepper and Ryan Fitzpatrick face the hardest schedules from here on out. If you were still hoping that Braylon Edwards would come around, forget about it.

*Peyton Manning's down year ends now. His next five weeks are a gift to his fantasy owners as he faces Houston, San Diego, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit. If you own the combo platter of Manning and Wayne, you are looking at a deep run in the fantasy playoffs.

*if somehow the team that took Randy Moss in the first round of your league still has a prayer at making the playoffs, I'd be hoping against hope that he's not on your side of the bracket.

*If Tory Holt doesn't become relevant again within the next two weeks, feel free to cut him. It's a last stand for fantasy relevance for him.

I'm really hoping that Manning can become Brees- and Warner-like in these next two weeks and carry me into the playoffs. That's what he was drafted for.

I'm expecting a big week this week with Manning against HOU, Ronnie Brown against OAK, and Lance Moore and Dwayne Bowe squaring off.

Obviously I need to make it into the playoffs before I can think about playoff matchups.

3 weeks left makes it very interesting. i dont know if I can over take the #1 seed - it would be fun to play either you or adam in that first round.

Are you going to sit Portis this week? Sounds like a bad play. my gut says he'll play but will stink up the joint.

I've got him on my bench, and LenDale White's matchup isn't terrible. I don't know if he'll play, but my guess is that if he does, he'll actually be okay. He was banged up against PIT and played pretty well. This decision will go down to the wire, and I'm waiting on more word about his condition. It sounded like better news today.
