WEEK 11/ FF Help

Week 11 is here and the Martin case still hasn’t been resolved.  It looks like the end result will be him playing football and that I can live with.  I read a post by Matthew Berry last week describing how a lot of people live their life in fear. And its very understandable and a lot of us do it.  It was years ago when I decided not to, so if you happen to be reading this post today I encourage you to rid all your fear.  To stand up against your biggest obstacles, you will be amazed at how your confidence can help you overcome any conflict put in your way.  Now with that said the Giants who I humiliated at the beginning of the season are now on a win streak, go figure.  But this week features some must see games. Lets get to it shall we?!

Kansas City vs Denver – Well the number 1 defense will be playing the number 1 offense.  Does Kansas City remain undefeated?  I don’t think so.  Now granted I am a huge Peyton Manning fan, but I am not just supporting him as a fan.  Let’s be honest here for  a second, the Chiefs haven’t faced a QB of Manning’s level the entire season.  We are talking about a guy who calls multiple audibles at the line after reading the defense.  On top of that they are playing in Denver, I just don’t think the odds are in the Chiefs.  More importantly if they aren’t able to force turnovers and battle for field position, how will they score.  As great as the Broncos are offensively, they really aren’t horrible on defense.  So if Chiefs they can advance the ball at will they are in for a rude awakening.

Patriots at Panthers – The Patriots are starting to look like the Patriots again.  Tom Brady has finally got a healthy receiving core, and the GRONK is back.  They will be playing a Carolina team who is making a statement this year.  They are also on a winning streak and their defense is legit.  I think they find another way to hold off Brady and company in Carolina.  After not having such a great outing last week and the defense basically winning the game, I expect Cam to bounce back and have a Newton type game.

Niners at Saints – Kap has been scrutinized for his play as of late by all the media and analysts.  Poor guy, he will now have to travel to NOLA and square off against Brees.  Talking about a tough situation to be in.  I like the Saints in this situation, Brees is one of the most reliable QBs in today’s game.  I mean is that even debatable, like he is guaranteed at least 3 touchdowns a game rite?  San Fran will have to run the ball in order to be effective.  If they can control tempo they will have  a shot, but a team once known for their great defense I think gets handled by Brees.

Week 6 Preview/ Fantasy Tips

Each week  I have been highlighting the stories of this year’s NFL season and one story remains the same.  The New York Giants still haven’t won a game.  I won’t continue to criticize the team because at this point it is useless. Instead lets get started with week 6 and the games of the week.   At week six we start to realize which teams look like they will be playing after the season ends.  And after looking at the schedule I have decided which games I will consider the GAMES OF THE WEEK. I only pick three because why waste time on the games that will be essentially boring or even worse blowouts. ( JAX vs Denver)

NOLA vs Patriots – This game features two of the greatest QBs in the game in Brees and Brady.  Nola has one of the most high powered offenses with Brees behind center, they get the job done.  Brees has Graham who is arguably the best TE in the game and a nightmare to opposing defenses.  So you can count on Brees looking to go his way early and often.  Brady a three time champion has found a way to get wins this year.  The team plagued with injuries and off season issues don’t have an all star receiver corp like usual but one piece remains and that is TOM. The team was expected to have Gronk back this week but reports have stated that won’t be the case.  However he will have Amendola who he can count on to make plays and move the chains.  The Saints (5-0) will defeat the Patriots (4-1) today and I say this because of the injury to Wilfork.  He provided defensive pressure on the quarterback and I don’t think Brees will get rushed and the last thing you want to give him is time.

Packers at Ravens – The Packers are 2-2 this year, go figure.  They will travel to Bmore and face a stingy Ravens defense.  Granted the defense isn’t the same anymore with the loss of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed but they are still one of the elite physical teams in the league.  I look to see how they will defend the Packers against the pass because this is no secret, they like to throw.  On the other side of the football , Superbowl MVP Joe Flacco will be at the center of attention.  With a huge extension during the summer, the Ravens turn to him to lead them to victory each week.  Especially because they have not been able to establish the run like they have in previous years.  And if this turns into a shootout with Rodgers the Ravens might have to pass way more then they want to.  I think the Ravens win this game because it will be won on the defensive side, and at home I think they cause turnovers.

Redskins at Cowboys – After watching Romo have arguably the best game of his life and still lose it will be very interesting to see how he bounces back against Washington today.  This is a divisional game which adds drama from the beginning.  Also the Redskins are coming off a bye week so they have had time to prepare for this game.  The Division is very weak this year (Giants) so each win can help these teams at a birth for playoffs.  I am looking to see how RG3 and Morris perform this game. Last year the two were a force to reckon with but not so much this year.  RG3 is recovering from an ACL injury and quite frankly the scouting report is out on Morris who rushed for a 1000 yards last year.  I think the Cowboys win this game, they have a freak of nature at WR in Dez Bryant.  I think Romo has another great game and the Cowboys will score enough points to win.  Neither team has a great defense so expect a lot of offense this game.

 

FANTASY TIPS FOR WEEK 6

Last week I said to start Blackmon – This week  I am telling you the same.  Yes they are playing the Broncos …..but Garbage points count

Moreno – Moreno is the RB for the team that has Peyton and they are playing Jax – Have him in your lineup has been consistent all year

Sleeper Alert- Hankerson of Redskins – I will keep an eye on him for weeks to come. Granted I am saying this expecting RG3 will start to play like RG3 again.
