Give me some names.

Sorry?

I’m in the finals. I need to win. And I don’t want to hear about Matt Forte and Jay Cutler. Stop living off those guys.

No problem. I’ve got a lock for 100 yards and a TD Sunday.

I like it. Just don't give me Lance Moore. Three weeks in a row you've hyped him and he has a whopping 10 catches for 77 yards combined.

No problem. Well, a little problem. I really like Lance Moore this week.

I'm out. Thanks. Time to read Funston and Berry.

Listen, I understand he's been shaky the past three weeks. But this is a great play. I'd load up on all viable options in the Lions-Saints game this week. Pierre Thomas, Marques Colston, Moore, Jeremy Shockey should all produce for the Saints (Lions have allowed league-worst 444 points). And Drew Brees is the single best QB option for the week (duh). Moore should be good for 70-80 yards and a TD. I think this game is 38-35 (and I have a sneaky feeling the Lions get the win) and Calvin Johnson will lead all WR with 150 yards receiving for the week.

Oh, I should play Drew Brees? Thanks. Is this the fantasy picks the guys on the ESPN pregame game show make? Maybe I should start Adrian Peterson over Heath Evans. C'mon, give me a solid QB sleeper.

I'm down on Tony Romo and Kurt Warner this week, but I understand if you start them. Romo’s clearly has some health issues and faces a brutally tough Baltimore defense Saturday night (which is still a strange night for football. For me, Saturday night on TV will always be Rose, Blanche, Sophia, Dorothy and cheesecake. For you younger readers, I’m talking about a little show called “Cop Rock”. ), but he has been great at home (17 TDs and a 109.3 rating in six games). I’m just not sure he makes it through this game. Tough to play in a fantasy title game with a QB that could leave in the first quarter.

Same deal with Warner. Sure, the Pats D is shaky vs. the pass, but a combination of bad weather and no need for Arizona to win this game leads me to believe that we may see plenty of Matt Leinart on Sunday. That gives him a week off before a nice home game against Seattle to finish off the regular season.

A sleeper? Guess Matt Cassel doesn’t qualify, but I like him again this week. The weather will be a factor, but he was fine last week in lousy conditions. The Cardinals rank 27th in points allowed and seem ripe for a blowout loss. I think Cassel, Moss, Welker, Faulk and Morris are all good starts this week (I’m not ready to throw Jordan in the mix yet.)

How about Shaun Hill? He gets the Rams this week (24th vs. the pass), a team that Hill handled in Week 11 (two TDs, 142.3 passer rating). Plus you’ve got the Mike Martz in St. Louis factor. I think another two-TD game is easily within reach. Hill, by the way, is owned in just 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues (Carson Palmer is owned in 27 percent). If Frank Gore is out again this week DeShaun Foster is a nice flex start.

Any big names out this week?

Keep an eye on Anquan Boldin. He hasn't practiced this week (shoulder) if he's out Sunday it would be a HUGE blow to Boldin owners. You have to think that Cardinals, already locked in as the four seed in the NFC, would be likely to sit Boldin. If that is the case Steve Breaston becomes a major factor. He caught 15 passes for 179 yards and a TD in the two games Boldin missed earlier in the season, and it's not hard to imagine a 100-yard game vs. the Pats D Sunday. Breaston is available in nearly a third of Yahoo! leagues and is a must-add at this point.

Just re-read your Predictions column from the preseason. To be more accurate, I should say that I looked at the first prediction and learned once again that you are truly a moron. I then watched Fitzy and laughed and laughed.

You mean this didn’t happen?

Jon Kitna will throw more TD passes than either quarterback in NY. (He’ll toss 26, Favre 24 and Eli 20.)

Fine, there were some whiffs in there, but how about the hits? Matt Forte and Jerod Mayo as Rookies of the Year. Kerry Collins will replace Vince Young. No 1,000-yard season for Larry Johnson. Jay Cutler as a top-five QB. Fitzy as the best part of the new Weei.com.

And how about this one? Remember, this was on September 12th.

Mickey Rourke (yep, that Mickey Rourke) will land an Oscar nomination for his lead performance in Darren Aronosfky’s “The Wrestler”.

How many of you had even heard of “The Wrestler” at that point? Of course, when you are writing a fantasy football column and your best prediction concerns the Oscars it may be time to give up the clarinet. But I’m still proud. And in a way, I believe this justifies my dressing up as Leonard Maltin for Halloween in 1982.

I noticed you’ve given up on picking waiver-wire defenses. I think that’s best for everyone.

Yeah, it hasn’t been good. That Week 12 Buffalo recommendation is one I’d like back (they gave up a mere 54 points to the Chiefs).

Again, the two things I flat-out stink at are selecting defenses and Guessing That Ass on barstoolsports. I even missed that Helen Mirren one a few weeks back, and that was a layup. I need an easy Kim Kardashian shot to get my swing back.

I don’t know, maybe Houston at Oakland? Just an anti-Raiders play (one more full season before we can start with the “is JaMarcus Russell a bust” stories?).

Good luck in the finals (or in the third-place game or consolation championship). Remember, don’t be afraid to bench a “star” with a bad matchup (Marion Barber, if he plays) for a lesser player with a great matchup (DeShaun Foster). And that is one to grow on.
