      Fantasy Fallout, Week 8: RBs

      November 2, 2009 /

      – Remember when Willis McGahee (3 touches, 3 yards) was eating into Ray Rice’s (28 touches, 108 yards, TD) workload? That’s not happening anymore.

      – Knowshon Moreno (12 touches, 35 yards, TD) scored, but Correll Buckhalter (14 touches, 46 yards) got more work in the passing game (6-30).

      – LeSean McCoy (13 touches, 92 yards) was quiet most of the day, but busted loose on a 66-yards scamper early in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

      – After getting shredded by the Miami running game earlier in the seasons, the Jets shut down both Ronnie Brown (11 carries, 27 yards) and Ricky Williams (8 carries, 27 yards).

      – The Jets leaned more on Thomas Jones (27 carries, 102 yards) than expected. Shonn Greene (8 carries, 18 yards) fell back to Earth after a huge Week 7.

      – Steven Jackson (25 touches, 166 yards, TD) continues to have a Pro Bowl caliber season for a terrible team.

      Fantasy Fallout, Week 8: WRs

      November 2, 2009 /

      – The Ravens did a nice job holding down the Denver passing game. Brandon Marshall (4-24) and Eddie Royal (2-10) didn’t do much.

      – Braylon Edwards (4-74-1) and Jerricho Cotchery (3-70) were targeted 10 times and 8 times, respectively.

      – Reggie Wayne (12-147-1) was questionable coming in, but had a huge game against a 49ers defense did a good job of keeping the Colts out of the endzone.

      – Michael Crabtree (6-81) has quickly become quite startable in PPR formats. Alex Smith targeted him nine times.

      – Donnie Avery (1-15) was a no show against a pretty bad Lions pass defense and can’t be trusted in fantasy starting lineups.

      Fantasy Fallout, Week 8: TEs

      November 2, 2009 /

      – Owen Daniels (1-22) is reportedly gone for the season, though we won’t know for sure until he has an MRI.

      – After a rough start, Kevin Boss (3-70-1) seems to be coming on. Daniels owners may want to pick him up.

      – After a couple of quiet weeks, Brent Celek (4-61-1) had a nice day against the Giants.

      – Dustin Keller (8-76-1) has been quiet much of the season, but busted out against the Dolphins. He’s another guy that Daniels owners should consider.

      – Zach Miller (5-52) has been pretty decent over the last four weeks, averaging 4.3-69-0.3 during that span.

      Be sure to check back in a bit for the WR, RB and QB positions.

      Fantasy Football Q&A Question of the Week: Week 8

      November 1, 2009 /

      Every week, I’m picking one question from our Fantasy Football Q&A and posting it on Sunday morning. This week’s question comes from RJR, who is wondering if it’s time to cut bait on Terrell Owens.

      “Do you think it’s worth dropping TO for any of these WR’s: (Non-PPR) (1 pt/20 return yds) Malcom Floyd, Bobby Wade, Danny Amendola, Chris Henry, Domenik Hixon. Who has more long-term value?”

      My answer: No, hold onto TO and hopes he turns it around. HOU doesn’t have a very good pass defense, so there’s a chance he could have a nice week.

      It has come to this. Fantasy owners are so frustrated with Owens that they’re actually considering cutting him for the likes of Bobby Wade and Danny Amendola. If you still have Owens on your roster, you might as well hold onto him and see if the Bills can turn their passing game around. Owens is listed as the #40 WR in Footballguys.com’s list of the top WRs going forward, behind guys like Michael Crabtree, Bernard Berrian, Antonio Bryant and Eddie Royal, and ahead of Torry Holt, Lee Evans and Roy Williams. So it all depends on who is available on your waiver wire. Don’t be afraid to cut him for Hakeem Nicks or Donnie Avery, but don’t cut him for Danny Amendola.

      Fantasy Football Quick-Hitters: Westy, AJ, Mario, Calvin, Jerricho

      October 30, 2009 /

      Westbrook missing practice, listed as questionable. The general consensus is that Westy isn’t going to play, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be that strong of a play against a pretty stout Giants defense. Make other plans.

      Andre Johnson ‘ready to go’ for Week 8.       The Bills have a pretty tough pass defense so there’s a chance that AJ isn’t going to have a big game. But this is Andre Johnson we’re talking about, so he should be in your lineup unless you have great option to turn to.

      Mario Manningham questionable with a shoulder injury.       If he doesn’t play, this is a substantial upgrade for Hakeem Nicks and a minor upgrade for Steve Smith 2.0. The Eagles aren’t a great matchup for either player, but they’re startable, and that’s something.

      Calvin Johnson questionable for Week 8. The general consensus is that he won’t play, but with an early kickoff on Sunday, it’s worth waiting for. Since they’re facing the Rams (and it looks like Matthew Stafford will be back) Bryant Johnson and Dennis Northcutt are sleepers if C. Johnson is out.

      Jerricho Cotchery expected to return to action. I’m a little worried about how Braylon Edwards’s arrival is going to affect Cotchery’s targets, but he’s a decent WR2/WR3 start this week against the Dolphins, who aren’t great against the pass.
