Week 8 Vacay

Week 7 7 7

Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan - Theze 2 guys still remain the best buy options that should raise their market price. Get em and use till they raise their market value enough 2 where u could drop em on match ups and have enough money 2 get another elite QB. If u really are looking for a bargain, u could do allot worse then Matt Cassel, they are having trouble punching it in, but SD could be the D that allows Cassel to go off.
Leon Washington -I keep waiting 4 that TD??? He keeps putting up nice stats but no TDz. This should be his week 2 get 1. The Jets have realized they need to keep it simple wit Sanchez and I would suggest some screens plays to Leon. The Jets are an elite run team and Leon is a nice price buy.
LaDainian Tomlinson - He look.d pretty good last week, but was kept out of the end zone again. He wasn't in the mix on a 3rd and goal call as Norv Turner is slowly makin the Charger nation pull out their hair. SD has all the talent, but with some interior injuriez and Norv Turnerz terrible timing with his play calling, the Chargerz are about ready 2 hit the panic button. This matchup looks like a good time 2 breakout but I wouldn't be suprised if the Chargerz found a way 2 lose. regardless, I'm expecting some nice numberz out of LT
Laurence Maroney - Playing in London and coming off a nice game, Maroney has a chance to rekindle his fantasy fire. Tampa Bay should get so shredded and Maroney has a very nice chance 2 get at least 1....
Vincent Jackson - Stock price is still low as he has allot more room 2 grow. He should be able 2 dominate with his size against the 25th pass defense
Roddy White - Atl is starting to click and these dudes don't kick field goals they just score TDz. Trust me - Elam has f.d me multiple weeks. But Roddy White and Matt Ryan are starting to open it up and with the D having to stay honest with Gonzo and Turner White's value could sky rocket.
Austin Collie - A. Gonzo isn't gonna be back this week and Collie is starting 2 make a name for himself in the slot. Fill him in this week against the boo boo Ramz and use him til Gonzo is back in the mix, but u could make some bucks on Collie right now. Another rookie is Hakeem Nicks, who can't keep himself out of the end zone. He's scored the last 3 games and went over a 100 last game. He seems to do it late but u gotta take notice. He shot up over a buck .50 for me last week and with the Cardz pass D in town and number 1 run D. Nicks should be in the mix, this could be the week the G-Men realize they have a beastly new WR and they need 2 get him the rock.
Jermichael Finley - Finley is starting to become ARodz number 1 target, get em now. This week they play the beat-up/sickly Browns.
Anthony Fasano - If MIA wants 2 have a chance in this one, there has 2 be a game plan 2 get Fasano involved on the passing game.
Heath Miller - Heath has been one of the top TE's in the league so far, and I don't see Big Ben's targets stopping anytime soon. If Miller stays healthy, he could be nice most of the year. May wanna try 2 buy him now before u can't afford it.
Pantherz D - Edwardz is out and Buffalo doesn't look like the O is goin n e where. Carolina has a pretty nice D and I really like em this week.
Texans D - This is real balzy, but if the Texanz D can continue 2 plug up the run (Which they have of late). This Defense has some real nice playerz and a powerful O that keeps em fresh. Check em out, they do get the 9erz who are coming off a bye and will have Gore back, so this is a measuring stick on how this Texan D is playing.
Ryan Succop - one word Succop

Week 6 Stock Market Team

Last week was rough.... I picked Sam Hurd 2 go off and it was as we know it "Miles Austin" Day in Kansas City. If I had 2 put 2gether a stock market squad this week----started out wit a 100 bonez-----this iz how I'd roll

Philip Rivers-Aaron Rodgers-Matt Ryan - Ur gonna have 2 spend the market price 4 A-Rod this week as he is facing the Lionz after a bye week, or u could go with Ryan who should have a nice stat line playing the Bears, or invest in Rivers before his stock starts climbing. If the Chargers used their bye week wisely and got well, Rivers is hopefully on the fringe of blowing up. I believe he is very close 2 be puttin up Peyton numbers if they can start capping off their drives.

Greg Jennings-Anquan Boldin-Vincent Jackson: Wide outs are very hard 2 find with consistency. That's why I say invest in these elite wide outs with nice market value. VJax is still hovering around 11 dollars and if u read the paragraph above: he should be the main contributor in Rivers success. Boldin and Jennings have both underperformed this season, but are on the fringe of breakout weeks. Somebody that could up numbers with Boldin is his teamate Steve Breaston. Get em now before their stock rises. If u invest in Riverz though, ur gonna have 2 get 1 bargain wide out>>> I settled on Mario Manningham - Hakeem Nicks - U could do Matt Ryan and go the other way. But u could make some money if u pick a breakout wideout.
Visanthe Shiancoe - since u blew all ur bucks on a elite QB and wide outs, gotta go bargain shopping 4 a TE, which isn't a bad situation. John Carlson could be a nice pick up this weekend, or if u could afford Jeremy Shockey, playing his old team could be a nice investment, but I'm gonna roll on Shiancoe. He hasn't caught many ballz, but he is almost automatic wit Favre in the red zone. So I'll double down on a TD.

Darren Sproles-Leon Washington-Ryan Grant-Sammy Morris - Since we spent allot of cash flow on our wide outs and QB, we are gonna have 2 go big time bargain shopping in the RB section. But this is the position 2 do it @. Lookin @ the match ups and price, Sammy Morris and Ryan Grant fit the bill @ around 10 bones a piece. If u tinker ur lineup u can maybe afford both, but I'm gonna go with 1 (Sammy Morris) playin the Titans who will get smashed in the passing game, which could open it up 4 Morris. Grant is a good bet as he is yet 2 do much and gets the Lionz after the bye. But since I got Riverz I'm gonna have 2 get a flex guy. Washington has a nice match up against the Billz, but I'm gonna go wit DS43 and hope Riverz hits him wit a few screen passes and he takes em 2 the house... If u wanna do it up 2 the minute...keep tabs on Mike Bell and Rashard Mendenhall game time status

Jason Elam vs Nate Kaeding -Do u wanna watch the sunday or monday night game more? That sounds fun, but ur gonna have 2 adjust ur lineup as these guys are expensive. Kinda funny the Stock Market tries 2 rape u with their prices on kickerz. That's why I'll go get Ryan Succop from KC and hope he has a nice day. (watch the weather though)

Saints D/ST - Sharper picked off Eli 3 times last time they played, Eli has that foot fungus thing and the Saints are coming off a bye. If N.O wants 2 beat the Giants sunday, it's gonna take a big day from the D!!! The Saints are a lil pricey right now, so if u can't quite afford them, go get Green Bay or dare I say the Chargerz comin off byes.

Packers D/ST - If Stafford and CJ don't play and GB is comin off a bye week, could be bad.....
San Diego - Chargerz D has 2 be embarrassed and Kyle Orton is due 4 a bad game or maybe Marshall & McDanielz 2gether are that good? Naa - it's the NFL

I got Week 5 on it

Repp.n last week wit my Mike Sims-Walker and Jerome Harrison pix...But missed a few 2. 50/50 again. A quick hit: I really tried 2 stay away from Braylon Edwards this season, but I just like Braylon (big Michigan fan 2) and so I got him on a few squads. He had 0 catches for the first time in his career last week, I'm thinkin about cuttin him and then he gets pushed to the Jets. Which is a 2nd chance for his career but more importantly my fantasy squads. Then looking @ my favorite squad I have this season (without Braylon) I see how Braylon has possible jam.d me again as Cotchery could lose significant targets from this deal. I'm still holding on to the thought of it making Cotchery even better, but it's just wishful thinking. N E wayz - here's my Week 5 friendly relevant match-ups

Bobby Wade vs. Sam Hurd - KC and Dallas face off in Kansas City Sunday and it should be a pretty good game. Kansas City is desperate and the overrated Cowboys are coming off a tough loss 2 Denver. Both teams are having trouble with their number 1 WRz. Bobby Wade and Sam Hurd have shown in games that they can get it done when put in. Both could have sleeper games, I'm gonna go wit Wade on the match-up b/c I think KC will use him more.

Leon Washington vs. Ronnie Brown - MNF: Brown has been ballin out early, I'm feelin good as I have him as my breakout player of the year. Monday though they play the tough Run-D Jets. Rex Ryan knows how to stop the run but MIA @ home could still find ways 2 get it done. Leon on the other hand has been a little bit of a let down, but he is playing in his home state of Florida and now with the Jets adding Braylon Edwards in the mix - L. Wash could have more room and a chance 2 break a big play. I can't pick against my boi Ronnie B. though - he'll find a way.....

NY G-Men WRz - Steve Smith is the hottest Fantasy wide out as we speak. With that being said, the G-Men have allot of wide outs. Smith seems to have his Amani Toomer position settled in. But who is gonna be the down field play? It was Manningham @ first, but Nicks is back, Hixon is almost back and I'm not giving up on Ramses Barden this season. He is gonna be a beast down the road, but he is gonna get a shot this season 2. I think Nicks will be the guy the next month.

49ers D/ST vs. Broncos D - The 2 hottest D'z in the league. But which one iz 4real? They both may be, but who would u choose 4 this week? The 9erz are comin off a 40 point fantasy day against the Rams and the Broncos just held the Cowboys in check and won on a goaline stop. San Fran used 2 be coached by Mike Nolan and Denver now has Nolan as their D coordinator. The Broncos have 2 legit vets in the secondary with Bailey and Dawkins. They are quick up front and get pressure on the QB. Brady is in-town and there is the Belichick vs. McDaniels thing going down 2. Allot of things goin on in that game. The 9erz on the other hand are getting the younger Tom Brady (Matt Ryan) and his ATL Falcons. ATL has had 2 weeks off, so they will be prepared but they gotta head out 2 the West Coast and play a physical 49er Defense. I luv the way Singletary is approaching his squad and with Patrick TWillis as the heart, I luv this D. If they can keep T. Gonzo in check and they get a lil' help out of their Offense they can control the Falcons Offense. Plus they were coached by Nolan, so his philosophies have already been put into the 9erz system.

Brandon Pettigrew vs. Heath Miller - Miller had a huge night last sunday. But it was against the worst TE D in the league. The Lionz D isn't anything special but Coach Schwartz is a defense coach and he'll make sure Miller is covered after last week. Pettigrew had an ok game againsthe Bears, but he did drop a touchdown pass and with Culpepper probably gonna play QB and playing the Pitt run D. He will be looking for BP often. Hopefully they got their timing down this week and Pettigrew could have a nice little game here. With Stafford probably out, us Calvin Johnson owners are gonna have 2 hope he can connect on 1 bomb with Duante, b/c his targets will be down significantly.

Pierre Garcon vs. Kenny Britt - 2 waiver wire candidates goin @ it. Garcon has stepped in nicely and always has a chance in gettin in the endzone with Manning @ QB. Britt is comin off a 100yd game and looks real good as a rookie. The Titans are terrible right now and they need this as bad as Romosexual needs a TD pass (man I hope Mike Brown picks him off in KC 3 timez). Britt shows allot of upside but u gotta go with Mannings guy.

Bum of the Week: T.O. - no catches again.....I hope

Week 4 Start em up

Last week we went about 50/50 again.... I showed luv to dos Pierre'z (Thomas and Garcon). The dos G-men backfield (Bradshaw and Jacobs) ball.d out and dos playerz that I picked (Pennington and FJones) got hurt. Pennington actually broke his face and shredded his shoulder and is now out 4 the season. Maybe he can go 2 Favre's doctor and find out how 2 insert a rocket launcher in his arm. So this week we doin it again. If you've learned anything from the past weeks, go with half of my picks....

Tashard Choice - Everybody is sayin Barber practiced fully @ the end of the week but Dallas must be pretty desperate if they are really trying to rush Barber back before their bye. He could further injure himself if he comes back 2 early and even if he plays, I think Choice will get allot of carries. With the Cowboyz O-line ballin out, dem boyz are averaging 7yds a pop.

Mewelde Moore - Willie has turf toe and ain't gonna go, Mendenhall looks 2 be the beneficiary, but rumor is he's in Omar Epps dog house, I mean Coach Tomlin. Last yr Moore has some very productive fantasy weeks and this could be the start 4 this season.
Braylon - The Browns are desperate for something and they are @ home with the inner state rival Bengalz. DA is now gettin the start and I think him and Braylon r gonna hook it up this weekend, finally!!
Steve Slaton - Man I thought LT had a rough start, but he just wasn't playing. Slaton has been playing and it hasn't looked good so far. The Texans are @ home and they are getting the good ole Raiderz. Oakland has the best DB in the league and will be lockin up on AJ. Look 4 Schaub 2 get the other;s involved and Slaton should even have a nice day receiving.
Jerome Harrison - Cleveland has been waiting 4 Jerome 2 get a chance. Here it is, and I think he'll deliver. Should see some passes 2 which is great 4 PPR.

Flex wide outs if u need 1 for the week and maybe more....

Davone Bess - If Bess was on any other passing team he would be a household name. Especially in PPR formats. But the MIA wide outs have been MIA. There is a new prospect in town (Tyler Thigpen) and he will get a shot if Michigan alum Chad Henne doesn't work out. Henne has a cannon though and I think the Dolphins will be able 2 go more vertical now that noodle arm Pennington is out of the picture. The long ball could really open it up across the middle 4 Bess and Ronnie B. But that all lies on Ginn and his handz. A Wolverine throwin TDz 2 a Buckeye - we'll see.
Braylon Edwards - Man the Browns O has been bad. That being said, Quinn has finally been benched. my boi Bird has been hatin on dude since he's been in the league and now that the jury has ruled- he was right. DA is under center now, the Browns are desperate and have a huge interstate rival wit the Bengalz goin down, I can see both diva wideouts Edwards and Ochocinco gettin in the end zone sunday.
Bryant Johnson - I talked about him earlier being a waiver pick up. BJ may become a decent fantasy play finally this season. Stafford has a very strong arm and with everybody tryin to sneak over 2 Megatron, Bryant can keep em honest by making some big catches!!! Johnson&Johnson
Mike Sims-Walker - This dude is hard and is beasty like Boldin. 2 gamez and 12 catches.... I'm gonna make roster space 4 him and so should u, get him in this weekend against the terrible Titan secondary. - Finnegan is doubtful

PS - Berrian is finally gonna have a big game monday night against the Pack - I hope
