Our weekly digest of everything fantasy football. Facts don't lie and The Huddle is full of 'em. Projections for the week of Jan. 18-Jan. 21. Stats through Jan. 17:


Indianapolis Colts, QB
Comment: He completed 33-of-48 passes for 402 yards and three touchdowns. However, he couldn't find the end zone on two late drives when it counted. He's lucky he won the Super Bowl last year or we'd be hearing about how Peyton chokes in the big games. Actually, I'm starting to think that is not far from the truth.

Green Bay Packers, RB
Comment: He gained 201 yards on 27 carries. This guy didn't let two early fumbles get him down, he stepped up and played his game. Grant is going to be good for seasons to come.

New York Giants, WR
Comment: He caught four balls for 80 yards, including two scores. With Plax's ankle on the decline, expect Toomer to step it up.

Indianapolis Colts, TE
Comment: He caught six balls for 95 yards and a score. Just like Peyton though, on the final drive he missed a ball he should've caught and the season was kaput.

Green Bay Packers, K
Comment: He was 6-for-6 on extra points in the snowstorm. You can't argue with that.

Defense
Comment: They had 62 tackles against Dallas, 44 of which were solo, and added two sacks. On top of that, they didn't have many off-sides penalties. This team could be going places!




Dallas Cowboys, QB
Comment: He completed only 50 percent of his passes and whined to the refs fruitlessly against the Giants. He is getting exposed for the phony he is a little bit each season.

New England Patriots, RB
Comment: Only gained nine yards on four carries.

Dallas Cowboys, WR
Comment: He had only four catches for 49 yards. Plus, he was crying like a little girl after the game. This guy loves a stage, but he's still a selfish player who can wait till next season.

New York Giants, TE
Comment: He only caught one ball for 19 yards, then again his main purpose is to block.

New England Patriots, K
Comment: He missed a field goal that would have covered the spread. That's a big no-no in this league.

Defense
Comment: They made Eli look like Peyton and got lit up in the process.


San Diego Chargers, QB
Comment: He can get into New England's head and he's a competitor. Never underestimate this guy.

Green Bay Packers, RB
Comment: He's the Packers best shot at beating the Giants. This guy is a must-start if you have him.

New England Patriots, WR
Comment: He wants to beat the Chargers worse than that woman in Florida. Expect big things from Randy this weekend.

Green Bay Packers, TE
Comment: He will be a key component if the Packers want to wear down the NY defense. Expect him to step up.

Green Bay Packers, K
Comment: He proved he could kick in poor weather. That's never a bad quality to have.

Defense
Comment: They should put up good numbers. With a so-so L.T., you never know what's going to happen.

20 New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes is playing in his first Championship game on Sunday. He's been in the league for 20 years.

18 The number one seed hasn't lost in the NFC divisional playoffs since 1990, 18 years ago. However, the Dallas Cowboys took care of that.

13 Terrell Owens' last 100-yard receiving game came way back in Week 13. Ironically, against Green Bay.

4 Half the quarterbackss who played last weekend didn't throw a pick. Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Matt Hasselbeck and Brett Favre all failed to throw an interception; everyone on the list, except Hasselbeck, will play again this weekend. (Billy Volek doesn't count because he only threw four passes.)


vs. Philip Rivers
Comment: Two of the premier quarterbacks facing off against each other. If Rivers is healthy, which he should be, this could be a great matchup.

vs. Bill Belichick
Comment: These two men don't like each other and make no effort to hide it. They'll get to settle it on the field with the winner heading to the Super Bowl.

vs. Weather
Comment: Can the Old Man pull one more miracle out of his sleeve? Or is he one hit away from being forced to hang up his spikes? We'll find out Sunday.



Sunday, 3 p.m. ET (CBS-TV)
Will the Pats advance to 18-0 on the year? Or will L.T. and Co. stage an upset? This one should be exciting, not only for the game, but also for the grudge and contempt the Chargers hold for the Pats.


Sunday, 6:30 p.m. ET (FOX-TV)
Is Manning ready to live up to his last name? Is Favre ready to head for the retirement home? This game will be a good measurement of just how far Eli has come and how much further Favre will go.
