There are different ways to look at this Fantasy season because of the high volume and high profile nature of the injuries that have occurred. While some owners have sunk in the face of adversity, others have actually flourished. If you do not adapt, playing it safe is death, basically.

Well, here we are: Championship Week. If you’re still with us, congratulations on making it to the top of the mountain. Well, not exactly the top; there’s some other bloke standing on the other side of the peak with a stupid grin on his/her face, thinking that they have some claim to your prize. Your Week 16 task: Remove that grin, eject the aforementioned bloke and enjoy the view. It’s been a long, hard path to the top, and we’re not about to stop now, are we? Let those other losers count the days until pitchers and catchers report; for us, it’s still all about football. There are still some sneaky options out there on the wire that can help turn the tides of fortune even here in the 11th hour, so don’t be afraid to make a grab for the flavour of the day. Ummmm… tastes like… victory.

Next week with Part Deux, we will wrap up with the players that have already delivered on some of our more far fetched wishes. It seems hard to believe, but Week 11 is the midpoint of the Fantasy hockey season in leagues with playoffs. With that in mind, time is of the essence and with the Christmas roster freeze in effect starting Monday until December 27, that time is now.

Though Locker came up five yards short of a victory, his performance was impressive enough that he may earn the start Sunday against the woeful Indianapolis Colts. Locker has a cannon for an arm, and the rookie should be able to amass some decent numbers against Indy’s soft secondary. Consider adding him in two-quarterback formats and he’s a must-add in dynasty leagues.

The toughest time of year comes in about a one month span from now until around the All-Star break. Why? Simple: Weeks 10-to-14 are a test of wills especially for those who are middling around in their leagues. The frustration level can hit a fever pitch. The difference between a playoff and non-playoff team is so razor thin that a person’s head could spin. One move — just one simple move — can really make that playoff goal attainable.

With Forte on the shelf and the Bears’ passing attack lethargic at best, Barber figures to see a fairly heavy workload for at least the near future. That may not translate into big Fantasy points, though, as Chicago will face plenty of eight-man fronts if it can’t get the aerial game going. Barber is a capable back, though, and should be a decent flex option as long as Forte is sidelined.

This is a tough time of year as by the end of December, we will be past the halfway point in Fantasy leagues that have playoffs. Typically there are 21 or 22 weeks in your average Fantasy season and 25 including the postseason. Decisions will need to be made and more importantly (depending on your type of league), the halfway point may feature more changes to your team than you would expect. Let’s try some subtle changes first.
