Week 12 Mini-Preview

Curran-Tighe

This one looks out of reach for Tighe as upsets require touchdowns and he did not get them from either Crabtree or Thomas.  Curran did leave himself slightly vulnerable here with a poor Gore showing but a solid Brady night and a TD to either Welker or Gronk should do it.  Does Vince Young just win games?  Not in fantasy.  If things are tight, it will likely fall to Manningham (Tighe) against Cruz (Curran) on Monday.

Concannon-Malinn

This one looks like it could go either way after Rice had a ho-hum outing against the Niners and Laurent Robinson cushioned Romo's solid day by catching both of his TDs.  Both sides are running unusual 'formations'- Malinn is going double tight ends, no doubt inspired by the Pats, while Concannon trots out a four-WR set for the first time all year as his star continues to fade.  The big edge at RB favors Malinn but it is likely that it will be up for grabs on MNF with Concannon holding both QBs and Malinn just praying that Jimmy Graham gets some love.

Brett-TMac

Stafford salvaged his day late while Murray failed to hit the end zone, giving TMac a boost early in this tilt.  This one could be decided by 4pm as both of Brett's QBs, Fitz and Bradford, take the field.  Big games from both could put TMac in a bit of discomfort.

Lee-DFlam

A big showdown saw Lee make the first move as he got 33 from three players.  The AP injury is a big blow, potentially enough to knock him out of the playoffs, but as anyone who watched Ravens-Niners knows, Blount had a big run against Green Bay!  This one could come down to Colston-Nicks on MNF.

Nemo-Thompson

Nemo has been hit hard by the flopping of CJ and Hillis but his QB tandem of Dalton and Big Ben are certainly above average and could provide a base from which he could launch some upsets late.  He will look to pick up steam against a Thompson team that, literally, has had no chance of winning for four straight weeks.
