      Fantasy Fallout, Week 12: WRs

      November 30, 2009 /

      – Antonio Bryant (3-91-1) is starting to play like his old self. Josh Freeman looks pretty good, so feel free to use Bryant when he has a good matchup.

      – Michael Jenkins (7-80) has posted 13-156 over the past two weeks and merits consideration in PPR leagues.

      – Terrell Owens (5-96-1) seems to like Ryan Fitzpatrick more than Trent Edwards. Fitzpatrick says he is more willing to throw the ball downfield and let his wideouts make a play.

      – Jason Avant (5-94) has posted 17-276-1 over the last three weeks and has filled the void left by Brian Westbrook in the passing game. DeSean Jackson (2-40-1) left the game with a head/neck injury.

      – Donnie Avery (4-48-1) had a TD early, but was quiet for much of the day until the Rams went into catch up mode.

      – Steve Smith (1-5) had a TD catch that was called back due to lack of control over the ball. He’s never going to be consistent with Jake Delhomme as his QB.

      Fantasy Fallout, Week 12: TEs

      November 30, 2009 /

      – There weren’t a lot of yards or catches to go around in the Seattle passing game, which is why John Carlson (2-14) posted such an anemic line.

      – Dante Rosario (4-62) has 8-102 over the last two weeks. Owners who need a TE (in a PPR league) should give him a look.

      – Dallas Clark (9-63-1) had another monster day and has been great all season.

      – With Owen Daniels sidelined, neither James Casey (2-17) nor Joel Dreessen (1-14) did enough to warrant a pickup.

      – Antonio Gates (7-118-2) had just his second monster day of the season. The first came in Week 4 against the Steelers (9-124-2). He has four TD in two games, and zero in the others.

      – Visanthe Shiancoe followed up his 8-78-1 performance in Week 11 with a 5-51-1 outing against the Bears. He is a solid start in most formats.

      – Bo Scaife (5-68) put up a decent PPR line, as usual.

      Check back in a bit for the WR, RB and QB positions.

      Q&A Question of the Week: Week 12

      November 29, 2009 /

      Every week, I pick one question from our Fantasy Football Q&A and post it on Sunday morning. This week’s question comes from RJR, who is wondering how he should cut Dustin Keller for James Casey.

      “Do you think it would be worth dropping [Dustin] Keller for [James] Casey? My TE position is killing me and even though it seems like Keller has a lot of targets he does not put up a ton of points. What do you think Casey’s value going forward is? (or I can wait and drop Finley on Monday for Casey but a few teams in my league also need TE help and he may not last that long) or should I just leave it alone unless he blows up.”

      My answer: At TE, I’d stick with Keller. Like you said, he gets a ton of targets and that’s half the battle. I’d rather have Finley than Casey right now.

      Over the last three weeks, Keller is averaging 5.7-57-0.3, which are very good TE numbers. Clearly, he went through a bad stretch in the middle of the season, but he seems to have developed a better rapport with Mark Sanchez as the season has worn on.

      While Casey does have some upside filling in for Owen Daniels, he is a rookie and it’s not often that a rookie TE becomes a viable starting option in fantasy football. Keller has more experience and a decent QB and should be starter-quality for the remainder of the season.

      Ben Roethlisberger out for Week 12?

      November 28, 2009 /

      Yes, according to Jay Glazer.

      Glazer reports that Roethlisberger has been suffering from exercise-induced headaches. Thus, the team has decided to shut him down.

      Dennis Dixon gets the start in the place of the injured Charlie Batch. This is an upgrade for the Baltimore DT and a downgrade for Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes and (probably) Heath Miller.

      Did anyone else bench Tony Romo in a tough matchup on Thursday (OAK) thinking that Roethlisberger would play this week? I did.

      Vince Young, baby!

      Fantasy Football Quick-Hitters: Peterson, Benson, Slaton and Julius

      November 27, 2009 /

      Adrian Peterson limited in practice. His ankle is bothering him. This could just be precautionary or there might be a real possibility that he’ll miss Week 12. Keep an eye on the Vikings injury report. If he’s listed as “probable” his owners can breathe a sigh of relief. Chester Taylor obviously becomes starter-worthy if AP sits.

      Cedric Benson “ready to play” but still iffy? Marvin Lewis said he was ready to play but was noncommittal about Benson’s availability for Sunday. The Bengals face the Browns, so if Benson sits another week, then Bernard Scott becomes a terrific start. Cincy may want to give Benson another week of rest if they think they can win with Scott carrying the load.

      Slaton continues to start; Chris Brown will see time. So much for Ryan Moats turning into a stretch-run starter. It appears the Texans benched Slaton for motivation, but know that he’s their best RB. The Indy rush defense is so-so, which makes Slaton a decent RB2 start this week.

      Julius Jones back at practice, but limited. Justin Forsett will get some work whether or not Jones returns this week, but he’s obviously a much better play if Jones sits out. The Rams are pretty bad against the run, so if the two share RB duties, they’re both decent flex starts.
