The fantasy football stretch run is here.
Thursday's meeting in Cleveland between the Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers marks the beginning of the final three or four weeks of the fantasy regular season. For the fortunate few sitting at 7-3 or better, it's a matter of keeping momentum going and jockeying for position and a potential first-round bye.
Bunch of jerks. The lot of them.
Totally not bitter, though.
However, if you're 6-4, 5-5 or even 4-6, the fantasy playoffs have already effectively begun. One more loss can be the defeat that seals the deal and kills any chances of advancing into fantasy's second season.
