Fantasy playoff leagues will wrap up this weekend at the conclusion of Championship weekend, and the player pool is oh-so thin.

There really is not much to choose from in the four games this weekend, which means there could be a lot of low scoring fantasy efforts across the board. Especially if fantasy owners choose a few players from the Baltimore - Pittsburgh game, which could be a defensive show down.

But there are a few options, particularly at wide receiver, and a giant crap shoot at running back. Good luck to everyone playing this weekend, especially those of us who need to make up a lot of ground. Yeah, like that is going to happen.

Start ‘em: It is pretty obvious that the choice at quarterback comes down between Donovan McNabb and Kurt Warner. Flip a coin. Brian Westbrook is a no-brainer if he plays, and I expect him too. At the other running back spot? Tim Hightower has more upside than Edgerrin James, Le’Ron McClain should get any goal line carries for Baltimore and Willie Parker is coming off a good game. OK, is anyone not using Larry Fitzgerald? DeSean Jackson is a good option and Hines Ward should be up for a decent game in a rivalry game. Heath Miller, even though I cannot stand him as a fantasy tight end.

Sit ‘em: Joe Flacco without a doubt. Pick Warner or McNabb, or even Ben Roethlisberger if you are feeling lucky. I would not start Mewelde Moore at running back of all the options, but I might start Correll Buckhalter is Westy is a no go. Anquan Boldin is super risky even though a stud, if you are in need of a huge weekend I might pull the trigger and use Q. And I still do not like Todd Heap.
