Page 1 of 2 Week 20 in fantasyland is do or die for so many teams. For some, it's already the playoffs, for others, the final week of the regular season, or damn close to it. With your season hanging in the balance, it's vital to make every game count, especially in H2H leagues.
Those of you who own players from Houston, Phoenix or the LA Lakers should know what I'm talking about; each of these teams play only two games next week. You almost have to play your stars like Kobe, Pau, Luis Scola, Aaron Brooks, Amar'e (where did that apostrophe come from anyway?) and Steve Nash, provided you feel confident that he'll play through his ailments. But a two-game week is bad news for average to fringe players like Shane Battier, Kevin Martin, Robin Lopez, J-Rich, Grant Hill, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest, who is channeling Dennis Rodman with his ridiculous new hairstyle.

You have some tough choices to make with those players, so here are some players who might be dangling on the waiver wire, ripe to be plucked with 4-game weeks. These are the guys who can win you weeks with their category specialties--or just provide one extra game to increase those counting categories. Why play an average player with a three-game week when a replacement level player is available with four games? Check the list out right after the jump...
Here is one player from each team with a four-game schedule. There's plenty of value to go around:
SG/ SF Quentin Richardson, Miami -- In three March games, Q is averaging 20.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg (enormous for a G-eligible player), 2.3 spg, an eye-popping 4.7 3PM on 54% from downtown. He's just been bananas. Now with Jermaine O'Neal dealing with more knee pain and Wade less than 100 percent, Q is going to continue to be relied on heavily. So it's nice to know that he is already up to the task--he finished the week as Yahoo's 7th ranked player.
SG/SF Nicolas Batum -- He's just been quietly awesome this year and is only going to get better since he's just 21 years old. He's shooting 53 FG%, 45.2 3PT% (a huge 2.0 3PM) and 100 FT% in his seven starts. Add in 1.1 spg and 0.7 bpg with the potential to drop 31 points in a game like he did against the T-Wolves last week, and you have the makings of a sweet Week 20.
PG/SG Roger Mason, San Antonio -- Assuming PG/SG George Hill has already been taken, Mason is the one who probably benefits the most in the wake of Tony Parker's broken hand (4-6 weeks). Mason started 71 games last year, so if he's thrust into the starting five this week, it won't be overwhelming or too hard of a transition. The Spurs starting unit has been in flux recently so there's no telling which way this will play out, but Mason will bring value in threes mostly, but also can help in points and assists.
SG/SF/PF Terrence Williams, New Jersey
The rookie point forward is now the leading minute-getter off the bench in March for the Nets. In those 30 mpg, he's averaging 12.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg, and a healthy 6.0 apg--money from the SF and PF positions. The versatility is nice so you can more easily get him into your lineup.
SG/SF Matt Barnes, Orlando
A jack of all trades and master of none, you never know what categories Barnes is going to help you out in--or burn you in--from game to game. But you do know he's going to do something whether it's hitting threes, grabbing boards, scoring points, or playing the passing lanes for some steals.
SG/SF Peja Stojakovic, New Orleans
The schedule is very favorable for a three-point shooter and there's no doubt Peja isn't hesitant to pull the trigger from anywhere on the floor. With the terrible game in his last outing now out of his system, look for a bounce-back performance this week. It only helps Peja's production if Marcus Thornton is going to miss any time with his back injury.
PG/SG Jarrett Jack, Toronto
Jack has been playing well enough as a starter to hold off Jose Calderon yet he's only owned in 55 percent of Yahoo leagues. In the eight games after the break--not counting the 20 points, 9 assists and 4 steals in today's game--Jack is averaging 15.3 ppg on a robust 57.3 percent from the field. He's also posting 5.1 dimes, 1.3 3pg and 0.9 spg.
SG/SF Corey Brewer, Minnesota
Truly healthy for the first time in years, Brewer's game has taken a giant leap forward this season. He's been killing it in the month of March thus far: 18.0 ppg, 4.5 4pg, 2.5 apg, 2.5 big spg and 1.3 3pg. The TOs have been a buzzkill but you're not really planning to win that category when you're jamming as many four-game players into your lineup as possible.
