There is a football game tonight. Just another regular season game between a couple of rivals. No big deal, right?

Absolutely, positively wrong. When the Thursday Night Football game between the Colts and Jaguars kicks off tonight, so too do fantasy football championship games all over the country (world?). More to come — like start and sit advice — on that game later today.

In preparation for the biggest of all fantasy weekends, make sure to get Randy Moss, Andre Johnson and Steve Smith in your fantasy lineups. Just in case you needed to be reminded to start those three.
