The final week of the regular season in many fantasy leagues brought us a ton of excitement. Between Andrew Luck’s heroic comeback against the Lions to Adrian Peterson’s dominance of the Packers there were performances for the ages this week. Unfortunately, there were also awful games put up by the likes of Andre Johnson, waiver wire phenom Jarius Wright and another stinker from Larry Fitzgerald. Injuries to regular fantasy contributors such as Jordy Nelson, Dustin Keller and Cecil Shorts didn’t help matters either. But if you survived week 13 then you are ready to forget everything that you know and make a run for the championship next week. So, let’s take a look back one last time at everything we learned in week 13:
