Here's to you Allen Robinson in Super League

Slipped to 21st overall in this competition. Kind of overshadowed by a couple of tough playoff losses determined in the final moments of the Monday night game, but I'm sure I'm unconsciously feeling a sting somewhere. So I need a big week, and here it comes.

Details were laid out here , so if you missed that column, check it out, and then come on back here.

The contest is totally free, and it's simple. Each week you pick the best 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 2 TEs and 2 PKs (scoring system: 1 point for 10 run/rec or 20 passing yards, 6 points for run/rec TDs, 4 points for passing TDs, straight NFL points for kickers). You will be playing alongside Fantasy Index writers and subscribers, and there will be weekly prizes for the reader whose team posts the best score. You can register at http://football.myfantasyleague.com/2015/FantasyIndex.

Here's my Week 16 lineup.

Quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newton. Roethlisberger rules right now. I actually think Newton might put up modest numbers against Atlanta, but modest for him is still better than most everyone else, and some other top QBs have lesser matchups.

Running Backs: Charcandrick West and David Johnson. We'll see. I'm thinking about a couple of other guys who are banged up and I want to make sure they're playing. But Kansas City should run all over Cleveland, and Johnson is a good young back with fresh legs, facing a Green Bay run defense that's been soft.

Wide Receivers: Antonio Brown, Allen Robinson and DeSean Jackson. I'm not sitting down Brown anymore. Robinson faces the woeful Saints. (who sadly didn't leave Calvin Johnson open enough for Stafford to throw him a score, thanks Lions!) Jackson is going to win a division title with his new team on his old team's field.

Tight ends: Rob Gronkowski and Jordan Reed. Not sure why I haven't used Reed more in this competition. He's awesome. Gronk is Gronk.

Kickers: Steven Hauschka and Cairo Santos. Seattle home against the Rams, Kansas City home against the Browns. Could also use Chris Boswell against the Ravens; I believe no one has allowed more field goals and kicking points than Baltimore.

Top two defenses this week are Kansas City and Pittsburgh.

Good luck to the rest of you.
