"If you play in one of those dopey leagues that still has its championship in Week 17, do you still make calls on a rotary phone, watch football on a black-and-white television and get your weekly standings updates in the mail, like I used to in 1988? Even if that's the case, our Position vs. Fantasy Defensive Points Allowed tool can still help you to a title.

As always, please remember that the players listed are mostly meant to be borderline guys, who need reasons for you to play or bench them. You won't see recommendations to start guys like Drew Brees and Ray Rice, because you should always start Drew Brees and Ray Rice. Also, any league rankings mentioned reference fantasy ranking, and not real ones, unless otherwise noted.

Note: The fantasy points per game (FPPG) referenced below are from FOXSports.com standard leagues. Also, there are fewer "stay aways" this week than usual. With some players resting for the playoffs, it's hard to rule out a lot of people.

The Jets rank fifth with 13.8 FPPG allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and even though Moore has been surprisingly effective since taking over for the Dolphins earlier this season, this is a matchup that should be avoided.

• We'd like to offer a big-name signal caller to bench, but San Francisco's Alex Smith is our boring and somewhat obvious third entry. The Rams aren't very good, but they've allowed only 15.9 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks, and since they're so bad against the run, we can expect the Niners to spend most of their time dominating on the ground with Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter.

Play, play, play: Kyle Orton, Chiefs (vs. Broncos)

Did you know that Orton has thrown for 299 and 300 yards in his two starts as a Chief? He's only passed for one touchdown, but if he keeps throwing well, the TDs will come. It's not like the Chiefs can run the ball effectively, right? This week, Orton faces a Bronco team that ranks 29th with 21 FPPG allowed to opposing quarterbacks. If you need a plu"
