Finding Favorable Fantasy Matchups

With fantasy leagues wrapping up their regular seasons and heading into the playoffs, NFL matchups become even more important than usual.  Here are a few things to keep in mind:
 
- Cleveland has a(nother) new QB in Derek Anderson and games against the Colts and Titans coming up.  Don't count on much from any of your Browns in the next few weeks.  It wouldn't be a surprise if Romeo Crennel got fired during that stretch either.
 
- Trent Edwards' offensive performance last week had to have been a fluke, but the Bills next two games are against the 49ers and the Dolphins.  Each of those two teams have given up 40+ points in a game this season.  He won't personally score 24 points again, but last week could've been the start of a hot streak for Edwards.
 
- It was a Happy Thanksgiving for fantasy owners with Cowboys, but it will be a long, hard wait until Christmas. Dallas next faces Pittsburgh, the Giants and Baltimore -- three of the better defenses in the league -- right in time for your fantasy championship.
 
- I know it just seems wrong, but Tyler Thigpen could be the key to a fantasy championship this year.  His next three games are against the Raiders, Broncos and Chargers, teams that allow an average of 232 passing yards per game and only havea total of 23 interceptions.  Go Tyler Go!
 
- You'll start the studs in Indianapolis anyway, but leftover guys like Anthony Gonzalez should be snapped up now.  The Colts are in a battle for the playoffs and next face Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit.  It should be a fantasy feast against that schedule.
