Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 15)
To play off the words of the iconic Ringo Starr, "Please forgive the lateness of this story." With Christmas shopping, other stories, and even focusing on the Semifinals in Fantasy Football, I've been lagging when it comes to mentioning the top fantasy scorers for Week 15, which is a big week for Fantasy--it's either the end of the regular season, or the Quarterfinals depending on the league. In any event, here are Week 15's top scorers:

The AFC Playoff Picture is Shaping Up
I do love Saturday football; I have since I was a kid. We don't get NFL games on Saturday until nearly the end of the season, and that's because it's by that time that college football is out of the way. I remember at one point, we would see four straight weeks of Saturday football, counting playoffs, but this year, we are being treated to five straight Saturdays of NFL action--the final three weeks of the regular season, Super Wild Card Weekend, and the Divisional Playoff.

Life, Controlling Your Own Destiny, and Everything (NFC Week 16)
The National Football Conference continues to be the hot mess that it has been for the last few years. I still remember last year's final week, which saw two open spots up for grabs between teams who were either 8-8 or 7-9. It was wacky and wild, and this year could top that. I had to separate this week's piece by conference because the American Football Conference could have everything settled, and while the NFC can still leave things unsolved even at the final week, it's still worth a look see.

All Wrapped Up in a Neat Little Package?! (AFC Week 16)
We are now entering the final three weeks of the 2024 NFL season, and it's wild. It's always very wild during Week 16, which is normally a Christmas week, but the calendar's makeup has allowed the NFL to kick off Week 17 on Christmas Day, so Week 17 will be a Christmas/Countdown to New Year's week, while the impending Week 16 will serve as an early Countdown to the Holidays. Because of what's happening regarding the scenarios for this week, I have to separate this by conference, because the American Football Conference could have everything settled by the end of the week. It's true.

NFL Week 15 Recap: Paradigm Shift
You know, I had to be one of very few NFL fans who actually didn't have this game between the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions circled on my Week 15 itinerary. Don't get me wrong; there were quite a few games I was focused on for that week, but this one, despite the heavy anticipation, was not one of them. Everyone saw this as a Super Bowl LIX preview. I honestly can't see why. We all know Josh Allen falters in January. And as genuinely good as the Lions are, something will always happen with them.
