It's Championship Week, aka winning time. Let's not me s around with a whole lot of chit-chat. Let's get to some guys who could help or hinder your quest for a title.Surprises, DL, : It's been a nice season for the second-year defensive end, but he certainly topped himself with his Week 15 Julio Teheran Jersey performance against Washington. Certainly the hope that it's the start of good things for a young player in the midst of a defense in need of help. Who knows what the future will bring for Hankins, but next week could bring more good tidings against a shaky offensive line., LB : When Wagner returned from mi sing time with turf toe is when things really seemed to turn for the Seattle defense. The athletic linebacker put together one of his best games of the season in the win over San Francisco in Week 15. His next challenge is to slow down a offense that hasn't been great along the offensive line and will be breaking in a new quarterback in ., DB, : Certainly the pick six went a long way toward putting Gay at the top of the Week 15 defensive back rankings. But the eight tackles certainly didn't hurt. Gay has been a recent bright spot in an otherwise dismal secondary. However he could have a tough task in Week 16 against a pa sing game that doesn't often stretch the field and has been rather difficult to intercept.Disappointments, DL, : The did an excellent job of stifling and the offense in Week 15. Freddie Freeman Jersey So that's why it was strange that Griffen was such a non-factor in the stat sheets. He was held without a sack for the first time in three contests and tallied just 1.50 fantasy points. Next up is a porous pa s blocking offensive line that hopefully can get Griffen back on track., LB, : The offense was fairly terrible on Monday night, but the beneficiaries for the mostly resided in the secondary and along the defensive line. That made for a quiet night for Lofton who was coming off his best game of the season. Lofton's Championship Week matchup against the has all sorts of potential for a rebound to end the season., DB, : Haden left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury, but even when he was on the field Haden didn't offer much in the way of fantasy production. When it was over, Haden had just three points -- his lowest total since Week 7. Keep an eye on his injury to see if he'll Tom Glavine Jersey suit up this week against the . Considering his solid peformances against the rest of the NFC South this season, Haden could bounce back nicely if he's healthy.Four downs The hope to have safety before this weekend's critical game against the . Mathieu fractured his thumb in a Week 13 contest against the Greg Maddux Jersey , forcing him to mi s the last two games. The Honey Badger hasn't been quite as productive this season compared to last, but it never hurts to have an extra playmaker back on the field. Especially one that can help top-scoring DB be even more of a ball hawk. The will likely be without linebacker for Saturday's game against the . Borland in last week's lo s to the and general manager Trent Baalke says the linebacker is a "long shot" to play. The team signed veteran for the final two games of the season, but it's highly unlikely that anyone will be able to replace the surprising level of production Borland provided. linebacker has a and is uncertain to play this weekend against Washington. If Cole can't play, Jared Shuster Jersey Philadelphia would likely replace him with who is in the midst of his best profe sional season. With a matchup coming against one of the NFL's most dysfunctional offenses, Graham could be a nice waiver pickup for your championship matchup. A difficult and frustrating season is over for . The linebacker has suffered a in 2014 -- this one will land him on the operating table as well as on injured reserve. The had high hopes for the talented Trevathan, but he played in just three games this season. With fellow linebacker also on the shelf for the rest of the year, there are now plenty of question marks in the middle of Denver's defense.Marcas Grant is a fantasy editor for NFL.com.
