For most fantasy managers, it’s championship weekend.
You’ve made it this far, and that’s no small feat. You’ve negotiated a draft that probably took way too long, injuries, trades, bad game-day decisions and the dreaded COVID-19 list.
It all comes down to this. If you’re lucky, your lineup isn’t in need of major changes. You’re not scrambling to fill multiple spots. But maybe there is a move or two that will win you your league and the prize that comes with it, whatever that might be.
With last-minute moves in mind, fantasy sports researcher Kyle Soppe has one final set of questions for select reporters who cover teams on which a player or two could make the big difference, be it a running back in Houston or New England, or a receiver in Buffalo or Philadelphia, or the entire passing game of the Rams.

Best of luck in your championship games:

So keep that in mind when you’re thinking about Gage this week. — Michael Rothstein
Marquise Brown’s depth of target has fallen off a cliff, hurting his fantasy value in the process. Is that by design, or does he still carry the game-breaking upside that we continue to chase?
Some of this depends on whether Lamar Jackson (ankle injury) returns at quarterback. In his first 11 games of the season, Brown made eight receptions on vertical routes. With Jackson out for most of the past three weeks, Brown…
