Week 8
Okay you know what no witty insights here, no little banter, this is just straight up prediction stuff. Okay I lied…
Nazahoes (4-3) vs. Nazabitches (5-2) – This is a big game…if I win I tie with John, if I lose I could start a slippery slope here. So let’s get it on.
QB: Brian Griese vs. Peyton Manning. Let’s be honest here Peyton Manning is the measuring stick of QBs in recent years, this year it’s Tom Brady. Either way Manning will tear up a Carolina DEF that has lost multiple steps in it’s aging. 300 yards and 3 tosses is probably a good range to start. Brian Griese is keeping the Bears fantasy worthy single handiledly I didn’t think that was possible but it is. He’ll go for 275 yards and two tosses. I think Manning gets the bump.
ADV: Manning
WRs: Santonio Holmes/Kevin Walter vs. Burress and Housh. Housh will have a good day, he’s keeping the Bengals in games. He’ll grab two TDs. Plaxico will catch a touch down but I don’t think the yardage is going to be there this week. The Giants are going to run down the Miam DEF. Holmes will catch a TD probably too but I don’t think the yardage will be there again. Playing the Bengals he could have a big day, good upside here. Kevin Walter is making the most out of the looks he’s getting, he is getting compared to Mike Furrey from last year, if you remember him. He’ll hall in a touchdown and the yards will be there. This is just about a push, but I tip the scales to John for the day Housh will have. If Denver can do it…
ADV: Burress and Housh.
RBs: Marshawn Lynch/Kevin Jones vs. MJD/Henry. Believer it or not a lot of people are high on Kevin Jones against the Bears this week and given the performance of Westbrook and Peterson against them, I can see where it’s coming from. Marshawn Lynch is playing against the Jets who let Kenny Watson score three TDs on them last week. Both of these guys have good matchups and can def. take over this week. MJD’s knee got hurt in that Monday Night game, on the short week he already missed Wed’s practice and was limited on Thrusday. Keep an eye on his status, against Tampa he’s a good option. Travis Henry’s ribs are the issue this week. And he missed practice on Thrusday, if he plays hs faces a terrible Green Bay DEF but guess what…he might be a game time decision. Can you really wait till Monday Night to see what’s going on? I don’t know. I’m taking the two healthy running backs here.
ADV: Jones and Lynch.
TE: Chris Cooley vs. Owen Daniels. Chris Cooley has 4 of the 5 receiving TDs in Wash this year. I’ll take that percentage from any tight end in the league. Against the Pats the Skins will be throwing a lot as well. Cooley has a good chance to do well. Owen Daniels as well will play from behind, watch where this game is being played, could have a little impact. However the Linebacking Corp has been pretty solid for the Chargers. I like Cooley’s chances of getting a TD I’m picking him.
ADV: Cooley.
W/R: Peterson vs. Davis. Adrian Peterson is the real deal, a top three fantasy back for a rookie…amazing. Andre Davis good fill in for Ande Johnson. Andrew Davis won’t do half bad but I really do like Kevin Walter better. A lot of people are talking about that Adrian won’t be able to get some yards this week but you know what I think if he can pull it off against the Cowboys he can do it against the Eagles. I’m pick Peterson.
ADV: A. Pete.
K: The Battle of the Jeffs. Reed vs. Wilkins. The Rams offense has been super dismal this year, although with Sjax back that could change. Against the Browns Wilkins should get some chances. However Jeff Reed will see a full plate of work. Field goals as the Steelers offense will stall a bit and then XPs when they succeed.
ADV: Jeff Reed
DEF: Vikings vs. Jacksonville. The Vikings looked good against the Cowboys, a better team then the Eagles, and you can expect that Brad Childress will want to look good against the Eagles. Jacksonville will limit the Bucs but their “big play” potential on DEF is lousy, but with MJD returning kicks and punts yardage a plenty.
ADV: Narrowly the JAX unit
Overall: My wide receiver play should be good enough to help me keep this close, my gut is saying a John victory. PISULA
Yellow Jackets (3-4) vs. T-Rex Grossman (2-5) – A win for T-Rexz Grossman puts Vito right into the hunt this week, can he do it?
QB: Jay Culter vs. Brett Favre. Both guys play on Monday Night going head to head, should be a good matchup. The Green Bay DEF for Cutler has been eh as of late, however Charles Woodson has been playing at a Hall of Fame right, he’ll be covering rookie Brandon “Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Drive” Marshall. So don’t think a total domiant day from the Denver pass game. For Cutler I like in the 200 to 300 yardage mark with probably two tds, and a pick or two as well. Favre is going up against two very good corners Dre’ Bly and Champ Bailey. I’ll give Brett about 250-350 and two tds though, watch for picks. I like the Cut One here.
ADV: Cutler.
WR: Stallworth/Ward vs. Moss/Welker. Hines Ward did look pretty good the other night and he is facing the Bengals, he’ll catch a TD pass, but I still like Holmes more then him, just call it a gut feeling. Dante Stallworth here really hurts Vito I think. Your hoping for a pass happy Pats game but that also benefits the opponent. One of those situations I guess. This week I don’t think he’ll catch a TD because the Skins DEF is pretty good, he’ll have 5 passes for upwards of 80 yards though. That’s only 9 points. Randy Moss has 4 mutiple TD games this year, a fry cry from last year is it not. He will score again this week. Just one TD though, probably over 100 yards. Wes Welker…has come on awfully strong, he’ll catch a TD as well and have similar numbers to Stallworth. I’m picking the Two Pats over the one Pat.
ADV: Moss/Welker.
RB: Addai and Green vs. Westbrook and Washington. You know Joesph Addai will get carries, however Kenton Keith will be stealing some here and there. I like Addai’s chances of getting a touchdown this week, Carolina’s front line is still solid though. Green is terrible. He hasn’t been good all year. The best thing going on in the run game of the Texans was RON DAYNE as few weeks ago and that’s saying something. There are better running backs as free agents, Green is not playable. Brian Westbrook probably won’t score against the touch Vikings run DEF but he could make some good plays in the passing game this week, which is where I like him. Leon Washington he hasn’t seen much action recently so I think he’s a wash. This really comes down to Addai vs. Westbrook, I’m going with Vito here.
ADV: Addai and Green.
TE: Battle of the Clarks. Desmond vs. Dallas. Desmond Clark catches passes but with Greg Olsen the first round pick being put into the offense more and more, one can only wonder what that means for Dezzie. Dallas Clark is a huge part of the Colts offense now a day. When Stokley left everyone thought that the rookie Anthony Gonzalez was going to take his place but it was really Dallas Clark. Clark will grab the TD this week. Desmond wont.
ADV: Dallas Clark
W/R: Braylon Edwards vs. Marvin Harrison. What a matchup. How does 8 passes for over a 100 yards and TD sound, those are some old school Harrison numbers, but this week that’s what I like for B. Ed. Harrison looked limited against the Steelers, but this week an easier matchup. I don’t like him for a touchdown though, and I like him for around 5 passes for 90 yards.
ADV: B. Ed
K: Stephen Gostowksi vs. David Akers. Gostowski will kick a ton of XP points, so that’s like 6 points right there, which isn’t bad. I don’t know that I like Akers all that much with the McNabb lead offense this week. I’m nodding on SG.
ADV: Gostowksi.
DEF: NYG vs. NE. This is a simple a no brainer match up or is it? The Giants have been playing great ball and have score a DEF TD in 3 of their last 4 games, this week they get the Dolphins. Total domination is a given. The Patriots face a Redskins DEF that doesn’t like to pass and has a young QB, total domination is a given. Because they are the Patriots I’m picking them.
ADV: NE
OVERALL: The play of Jay Cutler will be better then Favre on Monday Night, I think, and because of that I’m giving Vito the slight edge.
Vick’s My Dogcatcher (5-2) vs. Vicksmart (1-6) – This is a team ALMOST in first place vs. last place. A loss here for Justin means he can throw in the towel almost. If McLeish wins will keep him toe and toe with Pisula.
QB: Carson Palmer vs. Eli Manning. Carson Palmer I think will be playing from behind and therefore be throwing all day, especially against a tough Steelers run DEF. He’ll post very good numbers this week 300 yds, 3 TDs, 1-2 picks. Probably two of those TDs go to TJ Housh and about 100 of those yards as well. Eli Manning is playing the Dolphins, who have the worst rush DEF in the league, so the Giants will be running a little more to try to wear down the def, and with a three headed monster in their backfield of Droughns, Ward and Jacobs why wouldn’t they. The Dolphins also give up over 2 Pass TDs a game, so Manning should be right around that 2 number, and about 230 in yardage.
ADV: Palmer, he’ll be throwing more then Eli. The Bengals probably won’t lead in this game.
WR: Coles/Holt vs. Williams/Curtis. Coming off his best week of the season thus far Coles looks like a solid option this week against the Bills who have a subpar pass DEF. Derrick Mason posted a good day against them last week, sp expect comparable numbers (about 80 plus yards and a TD). Torry “Big Game” Holt, he should have an okay game against that Browns unit, especially with Steven Jackson back in the mix. I don’t think a TD is an unrealistic goal here. Roy Williams has had some disappointing weeks but guess what he’ll rebound this week. In what proves to be a passing battle between Kitna and Griese Williams will succed, a touchdown for him as well. Kevin Curtis has established himself as McNabb’s #1 target, but McNabb looks ugly as anything. One thing is for sure, he’ll get his chances this week as McNabb will pass to keep away from the Vikings RUN def.
ADV: I like Coles and Holt a little more.
RB: LenDale White and LT vs. Cinton Portis and Kenny Watson. No matter who faces LT he is a must start, and since it’s the Texans this week I’m predicting another monster game from him. Not the four-touchdown effort but I could see two or three. They might actually sit him towards the end of the game if they get into junk time. LenDale White has been pretty good as of late too, which is weird after the display Chris Brown displayed in the first week. The only thing to look for against White is the Chris Henry show. If White gets the carries he’ll be over 100 yards probably. Clinton Portis has been a tremendous bright spot for the Skins this year, showing that he hasn’t lost a step. This week he gets the Patriots so watch out. I’ve seen low predictions but I think he’ll do okay. If he gets involved in the passing game could be a big play threat this week. I’m saying between 60 and 70 yards, possibly a TD, don’t hold your breath though. I don’t think Kenny Watson will do well against the Steelers run DEF sorry.
ADV: White/LT
TE: Gates/Shockey. Good matchup just based on their names. Gates is the better option as Phillip Rivers looks for him on almost every pass attempt but that doesn’t mean he’ll out perform Shockey. Shockey will have a good day catching a TD and be on Gates heels all day.
ADV: Gates by a slight margin.
W/R: Cotchery vs. Graham. This one is kind of tough to call here. I think Graham will have the better day, especially in our system. They got him involved in the passing game and he put up good numbers, tying the franchise record I believe. Cotchery did have his best game this season against Buffalo, but I’m going Ernie.
ADV: Graham.
K: Adam Vinatieri vs. Robbie Gould. Adam V. will kick an awful lot of XPs but I like Gould to kick more field goals.
ADV: Gould.
DEF: San Diego vs. Chicago. I think it’s obvious I picked Chicago here for one reason..say it with DEVIN HESTER.
ADV: Chi Town
Overall: McLeish wins a scrappy fight
Inches vs. Aids
QB: Tom Brady vs. Jeff Garcia. Let’s face it anytime you write Tom Brady he’s better then whatever comes after him or before him, 99.9% of the time. He’ll throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs. I like Welker with 2 and Moss with 1. Garcia will throw for 250 and a long TD to Galloway this week. Brady is the hands down favorite here.
ADV: Brady
WR: Chad Johnson/Joey Galloway vs. Reggie Wayne and Steve Smith. Chad Johnson has been the source of a lot of drama these past few weeks. How is he going to respond? By getting double covered and not finding the end zone (just my opinon), double covering him leaves Housh open, explains the better year for TJ. Johnson will have 7 catches for 80 yards and POSSIBLY a score. Joey Galloway as I said will have a 70 yard TD from Jeff Garcia, or something like it. Expect good numbers I’d say 5 catches for about 100 yards and TD. Reggie Wayne is the real deal, he’ll go over 100 yards and score against Carolina. Steve Smith will catch a TD but the yards aren’t going to be there. This one is tough, but I like Wayne and Smith.
ADV: Wayne/Smith
RB: Gore/Jacobs vs. Bush/Parker. Gore has been insignificant this year in fantasy football, the defenses he’s been facing just stack the box and force Alex Smith/Trent Dilfer to beat them deep which doesn’t happen. He’ll have a very blah day vs. NO. Brandon Jacobs will destroy the Miami DEF to the tune of a 100 plus yards and a TD. I’d be higher on him if Droughns and Ward weren’t stealing carries away. Reggie Bush has finally found himself, he’ll continue to produce in the passing game where he can do the most damage, which is what you like to see in a PPR league. Willie Parker cannot seem to find the endzone or set up a groove in the passing game. He’s good for yards though. If he scores he’s money and he doesn’t even know it. I’m going to go with Bush/Parker.
ADV: Bush/Parker.
TE: Winslow vs. Olsen. I like Kellen Winslow more here because Greg Olsen splits time with Desmond Clark. Kellen Winslow is one of the main targets for Derek Anderson meaning that he’ll get more looks, catches and TDs. That goes for this week and this year.
ADV: Winslow
W/R: LaMont Jordan has been hurt and has to come back to face one of the toughest run DEFs in the league whereas Devin Hester plays for a few plays and returns kicks. This is almost a push but Hester’s big play ability on the field gives him the slight nod here. His numbers aren’t going to be much to write home about, you can thank David Akers for that.
ADV: Hester
K: Kris Brown going against the San Diego Chargers or Elam against the Packers. I like how Denver is moving the ball as of late, so I like Elam. Let’s no forget they win games on the strength of his leg and Kris Brown is probable this week.
ADV: Elam
DEF: Detroit’s DEF vs. Pittsburgh DEF. The Pitt DEF faces a Bengals team that is just weak this year up front. Carson Palmer will be sacked and picked off this week. Detriot could let up a bunch of points, I don’t like them this week.
ADV: Pitts.
OVERALL: I like Inches to win this week.
Nazahoes (4-3) vs. Nazabitches (5-2) – This is a big game…if I win I tie with John, if I lose I could start a slippery slope here. So let’s get it on.
