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
Trent Green – 323 pass yards, 1 TD (HIT)
Green carved up a piecemeal Patriots pass defense.
Chris Brown – 135 total yards, 1 TD (HIT)
Brown did most of his damage through the air against San Francisco.
Eddie Kennison – 3 catches, 65 yards (MISS)
Kennison had a decent day, but Samie Parker cannibalized some of his looks.
BENCH
Chris Simms – 202 pass yards, 0 TD (HIT)
As expected, Simms had a tough time against a good Bears defense.
Tony Fisher / Samkon Gado – 42 total yards (HIT) / 122 total yards, 1 TD (MISS)
Surprisingly, Gado got 26 carries after being benched the previous week.
Reggie Brown – 0 catches (HIT)
Nary a catch for Brown against the Packers.
On to this week’s picks:
START
QB – Kurt Warner, ARI
Warner faces a San Francisco defense that is last in the league in passing yards allowed per game.
RB – Carnell Williams, TB
Williams faces a Saints D that allows an average of 137 rushing yards on the ground.
WR – Derrick Mason, BAL
The Ravens face the Texans, who have given up 20 pass TDs along with 224 yards per game through the air.
BENCH
QB – Brett Favre, GB
Bench Favre if you have another viable option, as he faces a good Bears defense this week.
RB – Julius Jones, DAL
Dallas faces a Giants D that is playing very well and Marion Barber III is still in the mix for the Cowboys at RB.
WR – Mushin Muhammad, CHI
Surprisingly, the Packers have played very good pass defense this year. Bench Muhammad if you have a decent alternative.
