49ers at Bills
How about this stat for you. In the past three weeks, Vernon Davis has had 3 catches and 17 fantasy points. In the first eight games he had 16 catches and 16 fantasy points. I like Vernon's chances of having more than three catches and his first double-digit fantasy game.
Ravens at Bengals
There's no word exactly on who will be the starting running back for the Ravens, but it really shouldn't matter. Le'Ron McClain had a big game last week versus the Eagles and should get a good amount of touches this week versus a weak Bengals team. Even if McClain doesn't get the yards he will get the score.
Colts at BrownsThink about this one. The Browns told Derek Anderson he's not coming back, yet now they are forced to play him. The Colts are near the bottom in run defense. Well, in hopes to win the game and keep Anderson from throwing interceptions expect the Browns to run the ball with Jamal Lewis. Just hope he doesn't fumble every time he touches the ball.
Panthers at Packers
The Panthers are very good in defending the long ball and Aaron Rodgers is a throw happy quarterback so expect shorter passes to move the ball down the field. A pleasant surprise this season has been Donald Lee. All three of Lee's scores have come at home this season so you can probably figure a fourth touchdown.
Dolphins at Rams
I am bound to figure out the Dolphins before the season ends. I'll play this one safe and take the kicker for the Dolphins, Dan Carpenter. I don't see much for defense in this game and that always favors a kicker. When the small things matter most, your kicker can be a valuable asset to your team. Carpenter gets a copious amount of kicks against the Rams.
Saints at Buccaneers
Drew Brees is on pace for about 30,314,091 yards this season alone give or take 25,000,000. If you were for some reason considering playing another quarterback in the hopes of a down week for Brees, think again. He tore apart the Packers last week, the Bucs aren't any better.
Giants at Redskins
If you have seen the movie, Eight Mile, you will know that Cheddar Bomb does not play for the Giants, but Plaxico Burress does and he too shot himself in the leg. I would have loved to see that. I digress but this makes a simple pick to play Amani Toomer. He is a redzone target like none else. Last year he lead the league in balls thrown at in the red zone. Toomer has 15 fantasy points in two games when Plaxico is not in the line up.
Falcons at Chargers
My rule this season has been that when the Falcons are home play their guys. Not the case this week as I'll look to the Chargers and play Chris Chambers. He has nine catches his last two weeks but hasn't scored since week 5. Things are going to change. Phillip Rivers has been very good at home this year and chances are that he will throw for at least three scores this week. Chambers should get at least one of those.
Steelers at Patriots
I am impressed at what Matt Cassel has done lately. The past two games I have picked the defense that has gone against Cassel and he has torched them for over 800 yards passing. This week I'll go with the Patriots and that's why you should play Wes Welker. The Steelers have a strong defense and short passes are in the works. Look at Welker lately too- Three straight 100-yard games and I couldn't tell you the last time he caught fewer than six balls in a game.
Broncos at Jets
Did the Raiders just beat the Broncos? And now the Broncos are flying East for a game against arguably the best team in the AFC? That is why I am playing Jerricho Cotchery this week. He will get plenty of looks in this offense and with the Broncos focus on Coles it will leave more opportunities for Cotchery.
Chiefs at Raiders
Oh, Man! I have to pick someone in this game, a guy I haven't talked about already this season? I would tell you to play Tyler Thigpen but there is something about the Raiders defense that limits opposing quarterbacks. So we will go with the Raiders run game and Darren McFadden to have a career day against the weak Chiefs defense. In week 2 McFadden ran for 164 yards against this same defense. He has ran for about the same amount since that game. Breakout week!
Bears at Vikings
Greg Olsen has become more of a target in this Bears offense. The last time the Bears went up against the Vikings Olsen had 74 yards and a touchdown. Playing at home this time around can only help his cause, especially if Desmond Clark is out.
