Every week, I submit six names our fantasy football owners – three marginal players to start and three to bench. Let’s see how I did last week:
START
Brad Johnson, MIN – 146 pass yards, 0 TD (MISS)
Samkon Gado, GB – 180 total yards, 1 TD (HIT)
Lee Evans, BUF – 4 catches, 83 yards (HIT)
BENCH
Ben Roethlisberger, PIT – 173 pass yards, 1 TD (HIT)
Jamal Lewis, BAL – 0 carries, 0 yards (HIT)
Roy Williams, DET – 4 catches, 53 yards, 1 TD (MISS)
On to this week’s picks:
START
QB – David Garrard, JAX
Garrard has been terrific filling in for Byron Leftwich and should have a good game against the 49ers.
RB – Ryan Moats, PHI
Moats had a big game last week and should see at least 15 touches against the Rams.
WR – Jimmy Smith, JAX
Smith has been great with Garrard at the helm and the duo should carve a poor San Francisco defense.
BENCH
QB – Mike Vick, ATL
Vick faces a very tough CHI defense on the road. Don’t expect his normal stats.
RB – Willis McGahee, BUF
The Bills just haven’t been able to run the ball recently and things will continue to be tough against a very good DEN defense.
WR – Mushin Muhammad, CHI
ATL is pretty good against the pass, so I expect the Bears to focus on the run and have success with it.
