weekly 20

Bounce Back Games-

 

1. Steve Smith (Car)- vs. TB- Been basically nonexistent so far. He had two huge games against tampa last year, and they are a lot worse this year, so i expect big things.

 

2. Steven Jackson vs Jax- Jackson is actually running well, and has been getting a lot of touches consistently, he only problem has been touchdowns, but i think that will change against this Jacksonville defense.

 

3. Chris Johnson vs NE- Got nothing going against the colts last weekend, not too sure why it will be different this weekend, but i am going with my gut and that is telling me that CJ will bounce back this week.

 

4. Greg Jennings vs Det- Jennings is fresh off the bye week and will have fun running through a soft Detroit secondary. Look for him to get back on track and have a monster rest of the year. He is too talented not to.

 

5. Randy Moss vs Ten-Best remedy for a week of Champ Bailey, a week of the Titans secondary. Moss will run circles around this pass defense and easily show why he is one of the best wr's in the league.

 

Hot Hot HOT- these players are too hot to bench right now and must be starts going into this week

 

6. Hassleback/ (7)Burleson/ (8) Housh vs Ari- All three had monster weeks last week and against another bottom of the barrel pass defense i expect a repeat performance.

 

9. Mendenhall- vs Cle- No. 32 rushing defense, meet Rashard Mendenhall. Even with Parker back and possibly starting, Mendenhall is going to get all the goal line work and if he gets anything going early i expect Tomlin to stick with the hot hand.

 

10. Aaron Rodgers vs Det- This kid has been on a tear as of late and i like him to keep it going in this matchup against Detroit. It seems that even when he is not throwing to Jennings he is still having fantastic games.

 

11. Cedric Benson vs Hou- Houston is bottom ten against the run, Benson has been pushing the rock like a Jahova's Witness pushes "The Watchtower." I like him in this matchup all day and his stock will probably be highest after this week.

 

Not Not NOT-

12. Deangelo Willaims vs TB- J. Stewart is back and mooching carries, it doesnt matter anyway he has been miserable so far.

 

13. Terrell Owens vs NYJ- TO is having a nightmare season and you add Darrelle Revis to the equation and bam, must sit.

 

14. Steve Slaton-vs Cin- Cincy has an above average running defense, and Houston has clearly become a passing team. In a ppr league slaton remains a start, infact in most leagues he still warrants a no. 2/ flex start. But i do not see him getting back on track as far as the ground game goes.

 

Iffy- these players are usually starts but you may want to consider before putting them in this week

 

15. Pierre Thomas- vs NYG- In his two games back he has been a monster, but he has been troubled this week with some hammy injuries, but many feel as though they were just keeping him out of practice to ensure his availability this weekend, you cannot help but wonder if he will be affected by it. If he is not affected by his hamstring, he will probably be in some way (possibly even near the goal line to the dismay of Thomas owners) affected by the return of Mike Bell, who was holding down the job the first two games of the year. I would probably lean towards sitting Thomas.

 

16. Sammy Morris vs Ten- In a ppr league i would still lean towards starting this guy, but in a standard league i would keep him on the bench. Even though Fred Taylor is fresh off surgery and Maroney is M.I.A. leaving Morris with the majority of the work load, no running back so far (and there has been some good ones) has dented that Tennessee run defense.

 

17. Ladanian Tomlinson vs Den- Tomlinson's start has been sketchy to say the least, but he is coming off a bye and has gotten some much needed r & r. Usually i would like this to be a favorable situation for LT but not against the staunch Denver D. I would veer towards sitting LT if you are deep enough.

 

You're getting veerrrry sleeeeepy- and heres the specialty...this weeks sleeper picks

 

18. Donnie Avery vs Jax (only owned in 50% of leagues)- Despite his rediculous dance at the end of last weeks game, where he shunned away a teammate to do the stanky leg by himself while his team trailed by 20 points or so at home, he still is a talented receiver. With Bulger back and his squad facing the hapless Jags pass defense, look for a burst out game for Avery, definitely scoop him if you can.

 

19. Dennis Northcutt - vs GB- With Megatron and Stafford out and the human throwing machine Daunte Culpepper back under center, look for Northcutt to follow up his big week last week in which he led the Lions in both targets and receptions

 

20. Muhsin Muhammad- vs TB- This is for the deeper 12/14 team leagues, but he could definitely have a big day against the worst passing defense in football. He will be an even bigger gem in ppr leagues as he is always more of a possession receiver than a deep threat.

 

21 (bonus). Washington D- vs KC - KC has had no semblance of a run game and washintons actually quite good against the pass, i like the Washington D as a pickup for owners of a bye week D.

Well folks you can just thank me now...these 2 are guaranteed to blow up.

 

I have played both of these guys every week and I have had enough...I am sitting both of them down this week.
