Month: December 2006 (Page 10 of 14)

It’s playoff time in a lot of leagues. If you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. (No guarantees.)

Fire at will.

QUARTERBACKS

Tony Romo, Trent Green, Vince Young, Steve McNair, David Garrard, Phillip Rivers, Joey Harrington, Jason Campbell, Chad Pennington, Jay Cutler, Jeff Garcia, Matt Leinart, David Carr, Aaron Brooks, Alex Smith, J.P. Losman, Brad Johnson, Bruce Gradkowski

Jay Cutler wasn’t overly impressive in his debut, but he did manage to throw for 143 yards and two scores. His schedule down the stretch looks fair…Trent Green threw for four TDs against the Browns and has two mediocre matchups the next two weeks before a tough matchup against Oakland in Week 16…If you’re looking for a spot starter this week, Vince Young has a nice matchup against Houston. But he’s been playing so well that he may not be on your league’s waiver wire.

RUNNING BACKS

DeAngelo Williams, Ladell Betts, Cedric Houston, Maurice Jones-Drew, Travis Henry, Mike Bell, Ron Dayne, Wali Lundy, Justin Fargas, Sammy Morris, Cedric Benson, Brandon Jacobs, Jason Wright, Leon Washington, Sam Gado, Jerious Norwood, Michael Turner

DeAngelo Williams’ huge Monday night game keeps him at the top of this list, but he’s not available in too many leagues…On the other hand, Cedric Houston may be available and could be a nice option down the stretch and has a nice matchup with Buffalo in Week 14…Justin Fargas might be productive the next few weeks. He scored on Sunday and has two good looking matchups coming up…There was another Ron Dayne sighting this Sunday. He rumbled for 95 yards on 18 carries. Don’t get too excited about him though; he’s always been a tease.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Mark Clayton, Marty Booker, Reche Caldwell, Chris Henry, Mike Furrey, Marcus Robinson, Devery Henderson, Santonio Holmes, Wes Welker, Arnaz Battle, Terrance Copper, Ernest Wilford, Eric Parker, Patrick Crayton, Doug Gabriel

Mike Furrey’s big game pushes him back up this list, but he’s probably already on a roster in your league…Marty Booker scored again, but Chris Chambers was much more active this week…Devery Henderson was a big disappointment especially considering Marques Colston sat out this week…Reche Caldwell is Tom Brady’s top target right now. On Sunday he caught eight passes for 112 yards…With the Troy Williamson demotion, Marcus Robinson appears to be the Vikings #1 option in the passing game (man, it feels weird to type that) and over the last two weeks, he has caught 12 passes for 119 yards and a score.

TIGHT ENDS

Bo Scaife, Jerramy Stevens, Bryan Fletcher, Randal Williams, David Martin, Vernon Davis, Owen Daniels, Alex Smith, Eric Johnson

With Dallas Clark missing the game due to a mysterious knee injury, Bryan Fletcher caught three passes for 56 yards and should be the main TE target for Peyton Manning going forward…Randal Williams continues to be a top target of Aaron Brooks (6-46) but he fumbled twice, which thwarted a Raider comeback.
