If you're in a traditional fantasy league, it's likely that your season has come to an end after Week 16's action. Congratulations if you came away with a fantasy title, and if not, there's always next year, right?
For some, however, there's one more week to go before a champion is crowned.

Sometimes, the players who prove to be most valuable during the fantasy playoffs are guys we never would have suspected back in September. This unpredictability is part of what makes fantasy football such a fun, interesting and crazy game. If we knew exactly how the season would shake out, how boring would that be?

Here are the key injury updates heading into the early games of Week 15:
Owning Lions RB Kevin Smith — which I did in one league — was not fun this season. Besides the fact that he only had five TDs, the second-year back ran for more than 75 yards on just two occasions (although he did have one 100-yard receiving game). Lately, however, Smith had started to show improvement, rushing for 37-144-1 in his last two outings, both against top run defenses. But just when it looked like fantasy owners might get surprising play from him during the fantasy playoffs, Smith hurts his knee in Week 14 and has since been placed on injured reserve.
As has become a tradition in mid-to-late December, the Colts have already locked up their spot in the playoffs, clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and home-field advantage with Sunday's win over the Broncos. At 13-0, they have nothing left to play for in the regular season, giving their final three games little meaning in terms of the outcome, outside only of their quest for perfection.

Every year there are a few players who come out of nowhere to have big Decembers and become unlikely pieces to fantasy owners' playoff runs. On Wednesday, a pair emerged that might wind up being examples of this in 2009: Texans RB Ryan Moats and Redskins RB Quinton Ganther.
Prior to the start of the season, the one term we all heard to describe the 49ers' offense in 2009 was this: run heavy. New coordinator Jimmy Raye made it known that under his watch, the Niners would feed the ball to RB Frank Gore early and often, running most of the time and using a short passing game with QB Shaun Hill. It was great news for Gore owners, but it dampened the prospects of anyone involved in the San Fran passing attack.

Age is not the friend of any NFL player, but it's especially evil toward running backs, who almost never are as effective once they reach 30 years old. This season, age and heavy workloads have caught up to a number of backs, and it looks like a couple could be ready to call it quits for 2009.
The Falcons were supposed to be one of the league's most intriguing offenses in 2009, and at times this season, they have been. But with some shaky QB play and now injuries starting to pile up, Atlanta is quickly becoming a fantasy wasteland.
