I expect the comments section to be buzzing today because the moment we have all been waiting for is finally here.  It’s time for the playoffs!  While last night’s game may have been meaningless in terms of the NFL playoffs, the Jags/Texans showdown had serious implications in the world of fantasy football.  How many of you guys came out of last night’s game on the right side of the action?  If anyone has a good story to share, I want to hear about it.  Here is an example of how my evening went:  I went into the Monday night game up 7 points with nobody left to play.  My opponent had MJD locked, stocked and ready to end my playoff hopes (it took a three game winning streak to get this opportunity).  Needless to say, I spent three and a half hours sweating bullets as the Texans’ defense shut down Jones-Drew, paving the way for a fantasy playoff birth.  In case you were curious, I’m sending a bottle of champagne and a personal thank you card to Houston’s front office today for an outstanding performance.

That being said, let’s get down to business:                            

PICK HIM UP

Davone Bess    WR    Miami Dolphins:  Last week’s wide receiver recommendation was Harry Douglas of the Atlanta Falcons, who caught 3 passes for 13 yards and 1 score on Sunday at San Diego.  The numbers may not have been impressive, but the touchdown made the day a success.  This week we are going with a more reliable option, Dolphins WR Davone Bess.  Bess’ value has skyrocketed the past two weeks due to a season-ending knee injury suffered by former starter Greg Camarillo.  Needless to say, Bess is making the most of his opportunity.  On Sunday at St. Louis he caught 6 passes for 84 yards, upping his two week total since the Camarillo injury to 11 grabs for 171 yards.  Quarterback Chad Pennington is beginning to target Bess more in the Dolphins passing attack, giving him ample opportunities to rack up the fantasy statistics.  If you are in desperate need of some wide receiver help, or have some dead weight on your bench, pick up Bess to strengthen your receiving corp.  The Dolphins remaining schedule includes the Bills, 49ers, Chiefs and Jets.  I figured you would like that.
