Let the playoffs begin! Well at least for some of us. For the rest of us wrapping up the regular season, this week is just as important. And what better way to begin it than with a classic AFC West rivalry? It's one of the best fantasy quarterbacks of all-time against 2012's top fantasy garbage point scorer. To the matchups we go!

Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders
Thursday, Dec. 6	QB	RB	WR	TE	K	DEF
Broncos fantasy points scored	19.74	14.96	27.25	8.51	7.46	10.46
Raiders fantasy points allowed	19.19	22.36	24.70	9.12	10.67	8.58
Raiders fantasy points scored	16.72	15.95	20.88	7.92	7.77	2.15
Broncos fantasy points allowed	14.10	14.55	18.74	10.73	7.00	5.58

Analysis: There's no need to look at the numbers -- you know you're starting Peyton Manning. Same goes for Demaryius Thomas. But Knowshon Moreno becomes a very interesting play this week against a defense that allows the sixth-most fantasy points to RBs at home. Carson Palmer has been great at scoring garbage points, but that could be a tall order this week. Likewise for the returning Darren McFadden. But don't let that scare you away from Brandon Myers, who should once again excel.
