mlydle Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hello, need one to start: J. Addai Ind at NE; problem with Addai is that he only has one TD this season, yards are ok, but TD's are better; NE allows 14.6 pts to RB's with little yardage and 3 TD's allowed; NE's def vs RB is skewed by M. Moore's 91 yards receiving in their last game; it's tougher than the stats show; Matt Jones vs Tenn; Titan pts vs WR is a mediocre 21.4, but it is Garrard in conservative off and Jones has just come off of an injury, seems to be practicing well though; G. Jennings Questionable at Buff; Bill def vs WR is about as bad as Titan def; but Jennings is questionable and practicing; in the 4 games played and starting, Jennings has about 375 yards and 3 TD's Mike Bell at Pitt; Which Bell will start; I'd look toward Mike, but going against tough Pitt Def at Pitt that has allowed only 13.4 pts to RB's; I'd probably go with M. Bell if Tatum is really slowed by his injury; Tatum is practicing and is probable; Scoring; 6pts TD; 1 yard per 20 yards; Some updates: Greg Jennings, WR (rank: 20) - Packers Nov. 4, 9:46 a.m. Jennings (ankle) told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he expects to play Sunday. He practiced Thursday and Friday. However, a report in the Green Bay Press Gazette says Jennings tweaked his ankle again Friday. Fantasy Source spin: Miami doesn't give up a lot of passing yards (opponents usually are ahead and running out the clock), but its defense has allowed 12 passing TDs. Assuming he is healthy, Jennings is a fine No. 2 receiver in Week 9. But check back Sunday morning. Mike Bell, RB (rank: 27) - Broncos Nov. 4, 10:28 a.m. According to the Denver Post, Bell likely will get the majority of the carries this week vs. the Steelers. Tatum Bell (turf toe) isn't at 100 percent. Fantasy Source spin: Even after his big game (136 yards rushing, 2 TDs) last week, I'm hesitant to use Bell this week. First of all, the Broncos are playing the Steelers' D. Second, Mike Shanahan has burned fantasy owners before with his running back rotations (Cedric Cobbs could be a factor this week). Finally, Tatum still should get some carries. (Chris Bahr/SN) Mike Bell is expected to get the majority of the carries in Week 9. The Rocky Mountain News reports Mike is expected to start. Tatum Bell (probable, turf toe) will likely play a limited role and Cedric Cobbs could be "up," and see some work in the running game. Because Pittsburgh's staunch run defense will be at full strength with the return of Casey Hampton, avoid using Broncos RBs as anything more than a flex.

mlydle Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 more updates: Greg Jennings (questionable) reportedly has some lingering soreness in his injured ankle that has again put his status for Week 9 in doubt. The rookie wideout will be a game-time decision against the Bills after tweaking his ankle again late in the week. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Jennings looked "tentative" in practice Friday. Jennings now looks like someone to keep on fantasy benches in Week 9.

mlydle Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 More updates: Greg Jennings Tweaked His Ankle In Practice… …late in the week, despite being listed as having practiced fully. Jennings' matchup is fine against recently-benched Bills corner Terrence McGee, but the rookie wideout seems likely to be limited even if he does go. Using players when they're at less than 100 percent often ends in poor results. Owners of LaMont Jordan, Donte' Stallworth, Leftwich, and Tatum Bell will attest to that. Sit Jennings in Week 9.

Pigskin Junkie Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I would go with Addai, Colts will be jacked up Running backs are usually your best bet. Please see mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabearsstillsuck Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Roll the dice with Mike Bell. He's to see majority of carries and Broncos running game is too consistent to pass on, even against the steel napkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlydle Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Update: M. Bell probably will start and Jennings is very questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
