Fantasy Football Tailgate"Should I start Billy Volek or Mark Brunell?" If you asked that question any other week this NFL season, you'd get heckled by everyone from the Dawg Pound to Fireman Ed ... but in Week 17, any desperate lineup inquiry is fair game. If you thought fantasy football was wacky already, just wait.

We'll have an abbreviated tailgate chat starting at 12:00PM ET and wrapping up around first kickoff. And please do not adjust your television set, that is actually former first-round bust Craig "Buster" Davis on the field.

Fantasy Football TailgateIf you've come this far, you deserve a hearty congratulations. Making it to the fantasy football championship is no easy feat.

But it's time to go for the throat in Week 16. We'll be with you from 11:30AM ET (note the later start time) until kickoff to answer all your crucial lineup questions, injury concerns, or just to reminisce about the wild season that was. Pierre Garcon has already been ruled out because of injury, and you're going to be strongly tempted to sit the other Colts as well. We'll give our takes on that situation, as well as Michael Turner, DeAngelo Williams, Steven Jackson, the list goes on.

Join us for the post-Christmas tailgate below.

MJD and the JagsThe Jaguars aren't the only team fighting to hold a playoff spot in Week 14. Your fantasy squad is along for the ride, too.

Sneaky pickups like Davone Bess and Quinton Ganther could play key roles as we keep our eye on the upside. As always, Fantasy FanHouse's crew will be answering your lineup questions and providing injury updates, beginning at 10:30AM ET and finishing up at first kickoff.

Bring your bubble jacket, mittens, green hat ... heck, whatever keeps you warm, and join our Tailgate after the jump.

Fantasy Football TailgateThere are already three games in the books, but plenty of football to be played (and decisions to be made). Ben Roethlisberger will be out of commission, and there are a number of guys still flashing the "questionable" tag.

We'll keep you updated on the status of Kurt Warner, Julius Jones, Michael Turner and others, while answering all your lineup questions starting at 10:30AM ET until kickoff. Remember to only ask your question once, as repeats do slow down the queue. Bring your days-old stuffing to the Week 12 tailgate after the jump!

Fantasy Football TailgateEven after 10 weeks of mind-boggling fantasy football action, there doesn't seem to be any escape from the frenzy. A hip flexor sidelines Cedric Benson. Steve Slaton gets his starting job back. Heck, even Chris Simms is launching passes downfield again.

We'll help you sort through the shakeups and answer your questions, starting at 10:30AM ET all the way until kickoff. Reminder: only ask your question once, as repeats do slow down how quickly we can empty the queue. We will get to every question. Welcome aboard the S.S. Tailgate!

Fantasy Football TailgateIt's Sunday morning again, and we're about a half-day of football away from Brady-Manning XIII: This Time It's Personal! (Note: I've lost track of the count, but it definitely feels like we're in the teens there.) You're obviously starting all your early-round picks in that game, but you probably have questions with the rest of your lineup. Do you trust the Jaguars passing game in New York? What about the two Philly backs in San Diego?

Please join us at 10:30 AM ET, and stay with us through the opening kickoff. We're answering fantasy football questions, hopefully doing a little barbecuing, and enjoying some pleasant conversation, as always. We'll also each have an Obscure Player Long Touchdown of the Week, which has been hitting with surprising frequency for everyone but me. I think I have it this week, though!

Fantasy Football TailgateAnquan Boldin, Calvin Johnson, Roddy White, Devin Hester, Antonio Bryant. All questionable, meaning a huge majority of our readership is likely pessimistically cursing his/her options at receiver this week. Luckily, most of those guys have 1:00 PM ET start times, so we'll know the proper course of action before the first kickoff of the day.

Come join us at 10:30 AM ET and stay through kickoff. We'll help you deal with those WR conundrums, plus answer any lineup, trade, or free-agent questions you may have. We'll also tackle anything else fantasy football related that's on your mind. We do answer all your questions, but it's essential to stay patient while we handle them, because multiple submissions of the same question just slows up the process for everyone.

Relax, kick back, and get ready for some fantasy football!

Fantasy Football TailgateVince Young makes his return to the starting gig. Calvin Johnson's comeback doesn't look as promising (yep, he's officially out). Along with Megatron, there are also injury questions in the Eagles-Giants showdown, as both Brian Westbrook and Mario Manningham are questionable OUT. We'll be answering all your lineup questions and providing the latest updates, starting at 10:30AM ET. Join us after the jump (bring your green hat) and please remember to ask your question only once, since repeats do tend to slow down our response time. Go-go-gadget chat room!

Fantasy Football TailgateThis is the first of two rough weeks for fantasy owners, as six teams are taking the week off to regroup and recharge for November and December. As such, owners of players like Maurice Jones-Drew, Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Mike Sims-Walker, Nate Burleson, Brandon Marshall, and many others are left searching for a different combination of players to lead them to a win. That's where we come in.

Join us this morning starting at 10:30 AM ET and ending at the kickoff of today's first game. We'll answer your lineup questions, as well as any other fantasy related questions you may have. Please remember to stay patient and to only ask your question once. See you inside!

Fantasy Football TailgateThe winner of the Giants-Saints game will be the main NFL storyline of the day, but here we're more worried about whether: Lance Moore will re-emerge, Pierre Thomas can shoulder the load, and Eli Manning can play well enough as a bye-week fill-in for his brother (what, just me?).

We're also wondering if Mike Sims-Walker can stay out of trouble, LaDainian Tomlinson can stay in the game, and Adrian Peterson can stay on top.

Join us starting at 10:30 AM ET, and stick with us through opening kickoff. Remember to be patient with your questions -- we'll get to all of them, so there's no need to ask a question twice. That just slows down the answer machine. Be patient with us, and we'll help you the best we possibly can!

Fantasy Football TailgateIt's Tailgate time! Apologies for not hosting a mid-week chat like we usually do, but I took an impromptu trip to Vegas with a few buddies. If anybody's concerned (and why would they be?), I came back even after scoring a win in a poker tournament at Mandalay Bay. Good enough
for me!

Of course, I can go on about things like Las Vegas for 50 words because you guys know the drill by now. We're here to answer all your lineup, trade and general fantasy football questions like we do every Sunday. Join us at 10:30 AM ET, and stick around through opening kickoff. Another note: we'll get to all your questions, but please bear with us. You might have to wait a few minutes to receive an answer, but receive an answer you shall.

They'll be back, and if you missed the first week of the season, no worry. We'll be here today and every Sunday morning to answer your last-minute questions. We'll also be updating you throughout the morning as to the important scratches and game-time decisions that could affect your fantasy lineups. And when all that is done, then we get to watch some football. What could be better than that?

Join us at 10:30 AM ET, and stay with us through the first kickoff. We'll try and defend our rankings, we'll help you set your lineups, and we'll hand out some trade advice. See you there!

Fantasy Football TailgateIt seems like only yesterday when we were doing our last Tailgate of the 2008 season, but here we are again. It's 2009. Fantasy FanHouse, now with a bigger and better staff, has churned out a ton of content this week for you loyal readers, but we know we can't answer every question with generic content. Fantasy Football Tailgate is the place for the personal touch. Specific lineup questions? Bring 'em. Pop-culture references? Love 'em. Trash talk or telling us our rankings suck? Encouraged.

No matter which way you break, FanHouse's Fantasy Football Tailgate is the place for you each Sunday morning. Let's get it off to a good start this week. We'll go from 10:30 AM ET up until the first kickoff, just as we will all 17 weeks this season.

As I said earlier in the week, you really shouldn't be playing fantasy football in Week 17. There are usually too many games that don't matter and then your game is left -- even more than normal -- entirely up to chance and luck.

Of course, I also said that we are committed to helping you in any circumstance. We'll hold a chat this week for the masses, starting at 11:30 AM eastern.

Think of this version of the Sunday Tailgate as a baseball tailgate. Sure, not near as many people will be there and you can't possibly get away with it for as long as the football variety, but it's still fun.

As usual -- especially late in the season -- keep an eye on those weather reports. Also, keep an eye on player news, specifically Anquan Boldin, Frank Gore, Pierre Thomas, Brandon Jacobs, and Marshawn Lynch.

See you here.

If you've made it this far, you deserve a big congratulations. Fantasy football is often times a crapshoot and a healthy heaping of luck is also needed in order to still be alive in Week 16. Hopefully you're already in good shape if you had one of the following slotted in your lineup: Peyton Manning, Tashard Choice, Reggie Wayne, Jason Witten, Dallas Clark, Terrell Owens or a Baltimore running back not named Ray Rice. If not, your championship hopes are still alive and well. Nobody plays for second place, but second place is nothing to scoff at.

Remember to keep a close eye on weather reports today. It's expected to be snowy in New England and Seattle. Very cold temps are on tap for a number of stadiums, too. Some early injury notes: there's a good chance both Anquan Boldin and Frank Gore are inactive today. And Clinton Portis is questionable with back spasms. Check here for all the real-time updates on your players. Rankings are here. Our chat extravaganza is after the jump (so bring your green hat, and your snow shoes).

Ain't fantasy football a trip? If we told you after Week 4 that, come playoff time, DeAngelo Williams would be one of the three most valuable rushers (11 TDs over his last six) and Brandon Jacobs would be useless ... well, you'd have thought we were crazier than Al Pacino and Robert De Niro fighting over a bag of cheetos (little video gem).

But here we are, caught somewhere between gratefulness and contempt. Not only is Marion Barber and LenDale White questionable, but Frank Gore and Jacobs have already been ruled out for today (I win Snyder ... told you he would get hurt!)

Didn't start Pierre Thomas on Thursday night? Don't worry, you can still pull out the victory with a dash of upside (and luck, of course, that's always a big one).

Our ever-friendly chat is after the jump. You can catch up on player notes here, check weather here, and if you need some Hail Mary plays, jump in here. Alright, it's go time ... BRING YOUR GREEN HAT! Fleaflicker it up!
