Looking for last second fantasy football advice? Are you struggling to decide between two players? Are you trying to figure out how to spell BenJarvus? Then this is your place. Let's go around the NFL and get some predictions and some quick tips for you Fantasy Football Sunday.
I'll give some of what I think are sure bets to nab you big fantasy points this week. If they aren't listed, I recommend you stay away if you can or don't expect much. Feel free to come back and ridicule me afterwards.
San Francisco @ Houston I like Houston in this game and I like them to go to the air early and often. The 49ers are two weeks removed from a drubbing at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons and despite that preparation time the Texans should be able to squeak out a close win at home. Solid Fantasy Plays: Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, Frank Gore
Green Bay @ Cleveland I'm not sure there is any way the Browns can win this game, other than if Aaron Rodgers breaks his leg and I'm not even sure that would do it. Did I just jinx A.R.? The Browns would be wise to try to establish a running game with Jamal Lewis, but he still a player to avoid this week. Solid Fantasy Plays: Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Green Bay Defense
San Diego @ Kansas City Not much left to the imagination on this one. The Chargers absolutely need a win in Kansas City this week and they should get it. The Chiefs have some chances to get their running game going in this one with Larry Johnson, but ultimately the Charges should walk away with a W. Avoid Larry Johnson and feel relatively comfortable with LT and Darren Sproles. LT will get the bulk of the carries but Sproles may break off a big run. Solid Fantasy Plays: Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, Antonio Gates
Indianapolis @ St. Louis You may not have noticed lately, but the Rams have been putting up some big yards in their losses. That won't happen today as this one should be over quickly. So quickly that it may actually hurt Peyton Manning's value a bit. Steven Jackson is everything in this offense, and despite his inability to find the end zone thus far, he should put up some yardage in the passing game. Avoid all other Rams. Solid Fantasy Plays: Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Joseph Addai, Steven Jackson, Colts D
Minnesota @ Pittsburgh Finally a game worth watching. I'm biased, because I will be rooting for the Steelers in this one, but I think they will get a win here. If the game were in Minnesota I might be swayed the other way. Big Ben and Hines Ward should connect often in this game, and if you are in a PPR league this is the matchup of the day I believe. Adrian Peterson will get his yards, even if the bulk come on one or two plays. If Percy Harvin can't go, look for TE Vinsanthe Shiancoe and Sidney Rice to be Brent Favre's big targets. Solid Fantasy Plays: Hines Ward, Adrian Peterson, Vinsanthe Shiancoe
New England @ Tampa Bay Where is this game being played? Who the hell cares. The Patriots showed what kind of fire power they have last week versus the Titans, and I fully expect to see more of the same this week, albeit it to a lesser extent. Solid Fantasy Plays: Tom Brady, Laurence Maroney, Wes Welker, Randy Moss, you know what just play any Patriot you can get your hands on
New York Jets @ Oakland Sure Oakland pulled out a win against the Eagles last week, but don't expect another this week. Mark Sanchez has played more like a rookie as the weeks have progressed and I would avoid him like the plague until you see a couple of weeks of production in a row, which may not come until 2010. Solid Fantasy Plays: Thomas Jones, Braylon Edwards
Buffalo @ Carolina Is it me, or are there a lot of bad games this week. The Bills allow over 180 yards per game on the ground making DeAngelo Williams probably the best RB play of the week and his partner Jonathan Stewart a relatively safe bet in the deeper leagues or if you need a fill in during this loaded bye week. Solid Fantasy Plays: DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, take a flyer on Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson if you are in a deeper PPR league
Chicago @ Cincinnati These two teams put up very similar numbers except for in the rushing game where the Bengals have the advantage. If the Bears can limit their turnovers they should be able to grab a win on the road. Solid Fantasy Plays: Not sure I see a real safe bet in this one
Atlanta @ Dallas The Falcons have two impressive wins in a row and now they head to Dallas for another big game. Dallas has shown me nothing that makes me believe they can handle a solid team like Atlanta, so I give them the Falcons the nod here. I like Michael Turner for his TD's and Tony Romo for his yardage. Solid Fantasy Plays: Tony Romo, Michael Turner, Tony Gonzalez
New Orleans @ Miami Drew Brees lit up the Giants a week ago and I don't think there are many defenses suited to stop him. Miami may be able to slow the rushing attack of the Saints, but once Brees starts to go to the air the scoreboard will start to light up. Solid Fantasy Plays: Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Ronnie Brown in a PPR league
Arizona @ New York Giants The Cardinals are holding opponents to just 59 yards per game on the ground so far in 2009. That will be put to the test this week in New York where Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw have been a two headed monster for the Giants. I don't really like either in this match up, but if I had to choose it would be Bradshaw for his ability to catch the ball. As far as the game goes, this one looks to be close on paper, but I like the Giants to bounce back in a big way on national television. Solid Fantasy Plays: Eli Manning, Steve Smith, Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald
Philadelphia @ Washington Need some relief after you blow a game at Oakland? Washington is the cure. I think the Eagles want to make a statement following that loss and they will do so against the Redskins who have lost to some of the worst teams in the league. The Eagles should win handily, but that doesn't mean a lot of points will be scored. Solid Fantasy Plays: Eagles D
Don't Sleep on these players: Matt Forte, Tim Hightower, Leon Washington, Cadillac Williams, Reggie Bush, Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston, Lance Moore, Dallas Clark, Jermichael Finley, Benjamin "Randy" Watson, Miles Austin
