It is finally here our Super Bowl for fantasy. Every lineup decision, every big week or painful loss has lead to this moment. If you survived last weeks brutal fantasy showings and made it into the championship, continue to pray to the fantasy gods for one more great week. Fantasy studs were dropping bad games all over the place last Sunday. Fantasy championships are on the line now and it’s time to bring home the hardware.

While you may be worried about some of your studs after last week, don’t lose faith this is the week, you’ll need them the most. While two players who are close in ranking might be worth playing the matchup, if you have a Top 12 stud don’t sit them for a third tier option just because they have a good matchup. Chances are studs will come through for you that is how they got that title and our trust.

With multiple players being injured again this past week, and some players we were hoping would be back likely won’t play. You are likely now down to some options you may not want to use in your championship game. Trust your gut and set what you feel is the best lineup, if you get stumped check out our ranks below. You can also hit me up on Twitter @SportsfanaticMB with any lineup questions you have as well and I would be glad to help out. Good luck to all of you in the championship game this week, and may the fantasy gods help push you towards the title.
