Colts Bob Sanders

Indy's star defensive stud is active and if he does play... bad news for carolina off fantasy players

Foster is active....

Expect deshaun to be limited and elevate deangelo williams' value

Titans Chris Brown is out!

Brown can't go... Lendale White's value skyrockets again this week!

Jamal Lewis situation!

Jamal will play and start... Wright will backup....
tempting to play either... but a risk!

D. Ward looks to be out!

Droughns is the likely backup

Rudi's out...

Johnson is on the inactive list. Kenny Watson gets the start... don't expect 3 td's against the steelers

Kelly Holcolm will start

NFL radio today reports jackson is out and kelly is in!!

Henry Iffy!

Travis Henry was limited in practice and seems a poor prospect at this point... especially vs a stout GB run defense.

Maroney Ready

NE RB Maroney says he is ready to carry the load vs Wash.
Startem and pray Bellicheck doesn't screw ya!

Marvin Harrison is out!

Marvin's been ruled out... so sit!

Jets Def Gets Much Weaker!

Jonathon Vilma is done for the season... that makes Buf offensive players more valuable.... especially Evans and Lynch!

Chris Brown Very Questionble!

Check status sun morning... if he's out lendale white is huge!

The Carr Stays in the Garage!

John Fox has rewarded Testeverde with another Start.... Ok fantasy start gets a lot better is Indy Defensive whiz sits out because of Injury... check in with johnnyk on sun morning.

Tenn RB Chris Brown Inactive

Andre Johnson inactive

Crumpler Inactive

Jacobs will start

Yahoo is reporting that jacobs is active and will start... also Ward is active and will back up!

Vince Young to Backup

Kerry Collins will reportedly get the start... minimal desperation fantasy value.

Breaking News Alert Maroney vs Faulk

The NFL Today radio is reporting that Patriots RB Laurence Maroney will play against the dolphins this week... that kills the Faulk situation....

Jets TE Baker out!

Looks to be a patchwork replacement... so stick with WR's and T Jones on Jets offense.

TODD HEAP OUT!

So is Heap's backup Wilcox... Quinn Spinewski or something like that is the man... a possible one week play...

but i like Mason to get more work as a result

PATS TE BEN WATSON OUT!

NE TE Ben Watson is out.... go with backup Kyle Brady... a decent to good play this week.

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

Chris Chambers Alert!

Miami WR Chris Chambers was traded to the Chargers... if for some reason he isn't on a roster (0 TD's so far this year...) He is a must pickup!

Wk 6 Stat recap... and the new hot pickups!

Link to Week 6 scoring leaders.

http://www.nfl.com/stats/weeklyleaders?week=6&season=2007


Tom terrific led the qb pack once again 5 td's... but the biggest qb news of the day is the emergence of one Cleo Lemon. Those of us in San Diego had the insight on this guy's strong arm. If you need a quarterback... how does 2 td tosses and 2 td runs sound to you?
I imagine that Cleo will be one of the top pickups this week. I benched Tony Romo and played cleo this week. A bold move that paid off... keep in mind Cleo still gets two games with Buffalo and a game with the Jets!

Also, Keep Jeff Garcia in your sights... he's playing Detroit next week...
McNair/Boller will get Buffalo... more likely making Mason and Mark Clayton hot plays.


The running back story is of course Adrian Peterson 3 td's and 220 yards and LT 4 td's and 198 yards. By far, the most popular pickup in yahoo leagues... for week 6 was Jason Wright, filling in for an injured Jamal Lewis. It paid off... 1 td and 59 yards rushing. Next week he's on a bye and Jamal will likely be back soon.... so this one hit wonder is probrably over.

One thought... Anybody rushing against the bears and the dolphins has a good shot at having a big day!

Next thought... Larry Johnson lost the goose-egg... should've had 2 td's except for a freak fumble through the endzone... and next week he gets the raiders... a soft schedule coming up... could make for a good trade opportunity!

Third thought... How bout trading for Thomas Jones... he's rushed for a 100 yds... two of the last three weeks... and the next two weeks... he gets Cincy and Buffalo... You could probrably swindle him for a song... His schedule gets tougher after that with Washington and Dallas..... but he still gets miami and cleveland... in weeks 13 and 14... the finish is tough though with NE, Tenn, and Pitt.... Four Cream puff defenses in there!

Wr's
Wes Welker and his 100+ and 2 td's is already active on the waiver wire this sunday night... (seems like a good move to have any Patriot wide receiver)
I would imagine Houston's Kevin Walter and his 160 yards will make him the flavor of the week... especially since Andre Johnson is out another month... but Houston gets Tennessee next... an Awesome defense... so think twice.... and don't forget that Andre Davis is a top target and Jacoby Jones is phasing back into the offense. The injury to Schaub also makes this a questionable move.

Bobby Engram of Seattle is a good pickup. He's moved into the slot with Branch out and he caught 120 yds worth of reasons to add him to your lineup. Need another reason... Hasselback seems to have some of his magic back... and Shawn Alexander is struggling.... OH YEAH... They get St. Louis next week... BINGO!

Bernard Berrian.. Griese makes him a better option... same with Muhammed. They get Philly next week... so they will probably be throwing from behind... and Philly's DBs are banged up. Be wary of Devin Hester temptation... The element of surprise is gone... and unless you play in a league that include punt and kickoff returns as an individual stat i'd stay away... unless he does it again. Watch... I bet a lot of people take a chance on him... Don't waste a roster spot unless you are replacing dead weight and can survive with him on your bench.

Just a few reflective thoughts about sunday performances...

Kennison inactive

Sammie Parker will start Kennison... and he's got a decent matchup!

BOLDIN OUT!

According the Arizona Republic No Boldin.... Bryant Johnson is a decent #3 Wr option.

Cincy RB Watson will start... but

Rudi Johnson is probable and will likely see a good amount of action.

Maroney Looks to Sit!

The Boston Herald... citing un-named sources says Patriots RB Lawrence Maroney will not play in Week 6... can you say Sammy Boy!

Awesome RB pickup opportunity

Jamal Lewis has been ruled out of Week 6. With the weak Dolphin run defense JASON WRIGHT is a great one week pick and play (Cleveland is on a bye next week)
