Did you manage to make the playoffs? That is the question for this week, because many leagues are now entering playoff time, so it’s time to turn it up a notch. If you took my advice last week on my picks, chances are you had a monster week.

For many leagues, this is the last week for you to clinch your playoff spot if you have not yet done so. In my main league there are two spots left, with four or five teams who still have a shot looking in. I have clinched my playoff spot and am looking to play spoiler to a team that wants in. If this were real football, of course I’d have Drew Brees on the bench for this game. We know it’s not, although many of us treat it as such. There are plenty of us out there that monitor every game as if we work for the team. As a fantasy football pro, I’m excited to be welcoming the playoffs. It’s a nice chance for me to take a deep breath and know that I’m in.

So, let’s look ahead to this week as I give you outsiders who need this win the guys to keep your season going.

Week six is in the books, and I feel really good about last week’s picks. In my eyes, it was the best week we have had yet. In case you missed the winners I threw out there for you guys, let me recap. Drew Brees threw a monster of a game, finding the end zone three times. I can’t wait till this guy gets back wide receiver Marques Colston, which may be this week, in fact. Thomas Jones was another must-play I gave you, and boy, I hope you listened. Just like UPS, Jones delivered by the ground and air, finding the end zone three times. Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian signed that colossal contract in the off-season and had yet to show up. Well, do I know how to pick them or what? The one week I told you Berrian was a must start, he blew up for season-high numbers.

It's week six, and by now you should be seeing the teams that will make the run and the teams that . . . well, maybe next year. Lots of good games will be on, so watch for big scores. This is especially true if you have anyone on Dallas, Arizona, Washington, or New Orleans, to name just a few. Let me give you the real winners for week six.
