Each week, TSN.ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Ben Fisher and Mike Hetherington discuss three hot fantasy football topics. Which dual threat QB will finish with the most fantasy points, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, or Cam Newton? Cullen: If I’m looking ahead to the end of the season, I’m inclined to take the one with the highest ceiling and, to me, that’s Kaepernick. Wilson has been great this year – running more and more effectively – and Newton is something of a one-man show for Carolina, but the reason I choose Kaepernick is that he has more weapons at his disposal. The 49ers have a running game and a far better class of receivers than either Seattle or Carolina have to offer and having the surrounding pieces is important to maximize value. Fisher: Wilson is the safe choice, Kaepernick is the exciting choice, and Newton is the right choice. I like Wilson’s methodical approach in the run game, but he doesn’t offer quite enough in the pass game. Kaepernick will have big games but also some boneheaded performances that will hurt your team. Newton fits somewhere in between but his proven playmaking ability both through the air and on the ground make him the choice for me.. Hetherington: Based on how the 49ers are using him, I’ll go with Colin Kaepernick. Jim Harbaugh has asked Kaepernick to throw the ball more than ever this year, while not limiting his impact in the running game. Though Newton used his legs for over 100 yards against the Bengals, the 2011 first overall pick has been cautious running the football this season and lacks the explosive weapons in the passing game Kaepernick has. Wilson may be the most developed of this bunch, but his value is limited simply due to the presence of the Marshawn Lynch and the commitment to running the football in Seattle. What is WR TY Hilton’s ceiling with Andrew Luck as his quarterback? Cullen: Eventually, the ceiling ought to be pretty high for Hilton, but it still may be another year or two before he’s really going for big yardage and part of that is the Colts still have other options. Reggie Wayne has been targeted 54 times, only five fewer than Hilton, and both of the Colts’ top receivers only have one touchdown, because TE Dwayne Allen and RB Ahmad Bradshaw are scoring. Hilton’s size may work against him as a red-zone target, which means that even if he puts up a 1,500-yard receiving season, he may be hard-pressed to reach double-digit touchdowns – certainly the case this year, but even for the future. Fisher: Andrew Luck gets all the comparisons to Peyton Manning, so it’s only fair that Hilton should get compared to Manning’s favourite target from his Colts days, Marvin Harrison. Hilton deserves it. The third-year receiver won’t put up a 200 point fantasy season this year like Harrison consistently threatened from 1999 all the way until 2006, but as Reggie Wayne continues to age and Indy realizes they don’t need high-end free agent receivers like Hakeem Nicks with Hilton carrying the load, the third-rounder will be among the elite fantasy receivers. Hilton is a stud! Hetherington: As long as Luck remains healthy under centre, the sky is the limit for Hilton. Luck has commanded one of the top scoring offences this season and Hilton appears to be taking the premier role in it. The lone hold back for Hilton is Luck’s commitment to spreading the ball out – seven players have 13 or more catches this season. If Hilton emerges as Luck’s go-to guy, he could emerge as a top-end WR1, but for now I’ll keep him as a high-end WR2, making him a must start each week. Hilton needs to add more touchdowns to become a top-level threat. Is Joe Flacco a QB1? Cullen: Can’t we just ask if Joe Flacco is elite? Ha! When he has a five-touchdown game, sure, the argument can be made for Joe Flacco as QB1, but he’s right on the edge for me. If you’re in a 12-team league, sure he might be a low-end QB1, but probably not in a 10-teamer. It’s a fine line, but I still have a hard time putting him up there, even after a career game. Fisher: Still can’t do it. While Flacco is knocking on the QB1 door after his monster Week 6 performance, I still expect he’ll fall to his middling QB2 numbers of a year ago. Flacco will have a big week from time to time – whether it’s against another defence as incompetent as the Bucs, or maybe his top receiver carries some huge motivation into a game - but there are too many QBs are as good as Flacco at his best every week for the Ravens signal-caller to be considered Top 10. Hetherington: It’s easy to want to buy in to Flacco after his five touchdown performance against the Buccaneers, but Flacco is not a QB1. Flacco’s week-to-week performance is too inconsistent to make him a QB1, instead I see the Super Bowl XLVII MVP as a high-end QB2 who is worth starting in favourable matchups. Speaking of which, Flacco should have another strong day this week against the Falcons, but should not be relied upon as your top QB option every week.

No European team has ever qualified for the World Cup through the playoffs after losing the first leg 2-0. Two decades after France failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup following a shock home defeat against Bulgaria, Les Bleus lost to Ukraine for the first time in the first leg by a two-goal margin. That means the odds are indeed heavily stacked against Didier Deschampss team ahead of Tuesdays return game at the Stade de France. The French players display was so poor on Friday that it led the French media to question if the national sides performance had been the "worst in history." To turn around the result, France needs to rediscover its attacking potency as Deschamps - who won the 1998 World Cup and the European championships two years later as a player, must decide who to play up front against an extremely well organized Ukrainian side. "Well need to have that bit of folly that will make for an exceptional match," Deschamps said. "Its up to the players to get into that mentality. But we also have to realize they wont play with 10 players at the back. We have to put them under pressure from the start and show a lot of determination and keep the high tempo going until the end." Flourishing in the Premier League this season, Loic Remy had a poor game on the right wing in Kyiv and could be replaced with Karim Benzema, meaning that Deschamps could keep Olivier Giroud as his central sriker. Samir Nasri had a quiet game and may be replaced in the playmakers role by Mathieu Valbuena. Franck Ribery will also need to raise his game with the national team to prove that he fully deserves the FIFA Ballon dOr. Ribery who struggled to make any meaningful impact in Ukraine, has been tipped to claim the FIFA accolade after helping Bayern Munich to the Champions League. "Obviously, Ukraine knew how dangerous Ribery could be," Deschamps said. "They were very aggressive toward him. They made a lot of fouls that went unpunished. Ukraine eliminated Franck. He had very few chances to take on his opponent one-on-one. There was always a midfielder around to provide back-up." With Laurent Kosccielny suspended after his sending off, Deschamps has a major headache in defence and must decide who will play alongside Eric Abidal.dddddddddddd With Raphael Varane struggling with a sore knee, Deschamps must pick between the inexperienced Mamamdou Sakho and Bacary Sagna. Sagna plays at right back for Arsenal but has played centre half before. "We were shaken over there against a very committed team who played at a very high level while we were average," Deschamps said. "We took a slap and the situation is favourable for them. It wont be easy. Were obviously not in a good position. We have to reverse the trend and believe in this now." After winning the first round of his duel with Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he scored the winner in Portugals 1-0 win over Sweden, Cristiano Ronaldo is hopeful he can again steal the show at the Swedish national stadium on Tuesday night. While Ibrahimovic failed to impress in Lisbon, Ronaldo dived to glance in a left-wing cross for his 44th goal in 108 international appearances, and almost added another when he headed against the crossbar late on. Portugal, which beat Sweden at home for the first time in its history, missed automatic qualification for a major international tournament for the third time in a row after qualifying for the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 through the playoffs. "It was an important goal and it gave us victory," Ronaldo said. "We could have scored one or two more goals but this advantage gives us confidence for the second leg. Nothing is settled yet. Its 50-50." All four return playoffs matches take place on Tuesday, with Greece in a comfortable position following its 3-1 win over Romania in the first leg and Iceland having kept alive its hopes of reaching a first ever World Cup with a 0-0 home draw against Croatia. Several friendly matches involving European powerhouses having already qualified for the finals in Brazil are also scheduled on Tuesday, with England facing bitter rival Germany in Wembley for the showcase match of the evening. The Germans will be missing Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil, Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer after coach Joachim Low decided to try "new tactical variations and personnel." ' ' '
