Fantasy Football week 8 report

There are a lot of very difficult matchups this week with teams with lots of fantasy starters playing tough defenses. Peyton Manning has done great all year but he is now playing against the Broncos who only allow seven points per game. Steven Jackson has been one of the best running backs this season and is in the top 10 in the league in yards. He is now playing the best the best run defense in the league in the Chargers. Here are my week 8 fantasy studs.


Fantasy Studs

QB: Brett Favre vs Cardinals- The Cardinals have been solid on defense but Brett is due for a good game.
RB: Brian Westbrook vs Jaguars- Brian has done great all year and the Jags have a lot of holes on defense.
WR: Andre Johnson vs Titans- Andre has had a great year so far and playing against the Titans shouldn't hurt.
TE: Heath Miller vs Raiders- With Big Ben getting back Heath will definitely benifit from his presence.
K: Neil Rackers vs Packers- He hasn't done as good as last year but Neil should get back on track this game.
DST: Steelers vs Raiders- The Raiders could but up some points but this isn't the Cardinals.

Week 8 Predictions

Last week almost half of the games came down to last minute field goals. Just ask the Philadelphia Eagles. The last two weeks the Eagles lost by field goals on the very last play. Matt Bryant drilled a 62 yard field goal against the Eagles last week but hadn't made one over 30 all year. There are still two unbeaten teams in the Bears and the Colts but with the Raiders winning last week,there isn't a winless team remaining. Here are my week 8 picks.


Game of the Weak: Cardinals vs Packers- Both of these teams look alright on paper but on the field is another story.

Game of the Week: Falcons vs Bengals- Both of these teams came of dramatic home victories and the Deangelo Hall Chad Johnson matchup makes it even better.

Fantasy Football week 7 report

So far this season has all about the matchups. Lots of people thought Rex Grossman against the Cardinals was a great matchup but it turned out to be an awful one. Rex threw four interceptions and fumbled twice. But against a tough Chargers defense Alex Smith threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Here are my week 7 fantasy studs.


QB:Peyton Manning vs Redskins: The Redskins are banged up on defense and Peyton will pick them apart.
RB: Edgerrin James vs Raiders: Edge had an awful game last week but that should change against the worst run defense in the league.
WR: Steve Smith vs Bengals: Steve has played great all season but an older Bengals secondary won't be able to stop him.
TE:Antonio Gates vs Chiefs: The emergence of Phillip Rivers has returned Gates to becoming a reliable threat.
K:Jason Elam vs Browns: The Broncos haven't put up a ton of points but he should get oppurtunities.
DST:Cardinals vs Raiders: There playing the Raiders what do you expect?

Week 7 Predictions

So far this season lots of teams have had their highs and lows a perfect example is the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have played great up until the last couple minutes of the game. Last Monday night was a great example. With a 23-3 lead the Cardinals ended up losing to the Bears 24-23. Here are my week 7 power rankings and picks.

Top five:
1.Bears
2.Chargers
3.Colts
4.Broncos
5.Panthers

Bottom five:
28.Browns
29.Titans
30.Dolphins
31.Packers
32.Raiders


Game of the Weak: Packers vs Dolphins: These teams combined only have two wins but neither has an offense.

Game of the Week: Panthers vs Bengals: It's the reunion of Chad Johnson and Steve Smith but it is also two trendy super bowl picks matching up against one another.

Last Week: 7-6
Overall: 58-29


Panthers 28 Bengals 20
Lions 21 Jets 24
Packers 17 Dolphins 13
Jaguars 24 Texans 17

Fantasy Football week 6 report

This is a hard week for fantasy football owners. A NFL record six teams have a bye week in week six. The Colts are one of those teams and if you own one of there big players like Peyton Manning,Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison these are some players you can pick up for the week to replace them.


QB: Phillip Rivers vs 49ers- Phillip started to get the passing game going against the Steelers now he is playing the 49ers that means lots of fantasy points.
RB: Leon Washington vs Dolphins- Leon may not have the best matchup but he is probably the only player that's going to get 20 carries on the waiver wire.
WR: Lee Evans vs Lions- Lee and J.P. Losman are starting to click,that's not good for the Lions.
TE:Desmond Clark vs Cardinals- When the Bears passing game is clicking Clark is almost always involved.
K: Ryan Lindell vs Lions- With lots of scoring possible Lindell could get a lot of attempts.
DST: Jets vs Dolphins-The Dolphins look horrible on offense and Justin Miller is always a threat to take a kickoff the distance.


Here are my fantasy studs of the week:


QB: Marc Bulger vs Seahawks- In his last 5 games against Seattle Marc has thrown for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns. You can't turn down that production.
RB: Ladanian Tomlinson vs 49ers- LT could get at least 150 total yards and a touchdown in this one.
WR:Santana Moss vs Titans- The Titans have had a hard time stopping the passing game all season. The Redskins like to throw a lot. You do the math.
TE: Chris Cooley vs Titans- See Santana Moss
K: Jeff Wilkins vs Seahawks- High Scoring team + shootout= lots of oppurtunities
DST: Broncos vs Raiders- The Broncos have played great defense all year. The Raiders have played horrible offense all year. This should be a good start.

Week 6 Predictions

Only two undefeated teams remain heading into week 6 of the NFL season. The Bears have shown a very explosive offensive attack led by Rex Grossman and Bernard Berrian, while the Colts don't seem to be playing there best football yet as they have won nailbiters the last few weeks. This week the Colts are one of the record six teams on bye this week so we will have a guaranteed undefeated team heading into week 7. So far a couple of players have stuck out for awards this season, here are my winners of the awards if the season ended today along with my week 6 picks.

MVP: Donavan McNabb QB Eagles
Runner up: Rex Grossman QB Bears

Rookie of the year: Laurence Maroney RB: Patriots
Runner up: Maurice Jones-Drew RB Jaguars

Defensive player of the year: Bart Scott LB Ravens
Runner up: Brian Urlacher LB Bears


Game of the Weak: Bills vs Lions- I think Detroiters should stick with the Tigers right about now.

Game of the Week: Seahawks vs Rams- Nothing beats a shootout between two teams who are fighting for first place in the division.


Last Week: 12-2
Overall:51-23


Bills 24 Lions 17
Panthers 17 Ravens 13
Bengals 35 Bucs 24
Texans 24 Cowboys 35
Giants 17 Falcons 23
Eagles 35 Saints 14
Seahawks 21 Rams 28
Titans 17 Redskins 28
Chiefs 10 Steelers 21
Dolphins 17 Jets 21
Chargers 42 49ers 13
Raiders 3 Broncos 20
Bears 35 Cardinals 13

Fantasy Football week 5 report

So far this season of fantasy football has been all about the quarterbacks instead of the running backs. David Carr has been worth over 70 points in most leagues and has been playing great for anybody that has him. Other quarterbacks like Charlie Frye and Jon Kitna have also been having fine seasons as well. Here are some of my week 5 fantasy football picks.


Fantasy Studs:
QB: Marc Bulger vs Green Bay: The Rams have a great receiving core and the Packers don't have any defensive backs.
RB: Steven Jackson vs Green Bay: Did I mention the Packers are pretty weak at linebacker too?
WR: Reggie Wayne vs Tennessee: Reggie has come up huge his last couple games against the Titans this one shouldn't be any different.
TE: Ben Watson vs Miami: The Dolphins have allowed big games to tight ends and Watson is one of the best in the league.
K: Ryan Longwell vs Detroit: The Vikings don't score that much but he should get lots of oppurtunities.
DST: Panthers vs Cleveland: The Panthers should get lots of pressure on the young Browns offensive line.

Week 5 Predictions

So far the NFL season has gotten of to a really weird start. Players have come up and played really big so far this season. Who would have thought Rex Grossman would be and MVP candidate in week 5. Cadillac Williams who was said to have gotten a lot better during the offseason hasn't made much of an impact so far this season, which has gotten a lot of fantasy football players angry here are my week 5 picks.


Game of the Weak: Raiders vs 49ers- There is no doubt this is your winner.

Game of the Week: Cowboys vs Eagles- Everyone is hyping this as McNabb vs T.O. but it is also a matchup of two teams tied for the division lead.


Last Week: 9-5
Overall: 39-21


Lions 23 Vikings 17
Dolphins 13 Patriots 28
Bucs 14 Saints 28
Redskins 35 Giants 21
Browns 17 Panthers 27
Bills 6 Bears 24
Rams 35 Packers 17
Titans 10 Colts 42
Raiders 13 49ers 28
Jets 17 Jaguars 23
