This
Week's Top Team: Championship Week - I feel inclined
to do it up!
QB:
Donovan McNabb vs. New Orleans: Just like last week,
the Saints are still really brutal, and I expect Donovan
to have his way with their secondary. I'm not sure what
the distant future holds for McNabb, but this weekend
shows promise.
RB:
LaDainian Tomlinson vs. Denver: Denver is a terrible
run defense, one of the bottom 3 in the NFL. LT is the
best running back in the league. I'm not sure what his
carries will look like, but I still think he's a great
start on Sunday.
RB:
Earnest Graham vs. San Francisco: HE may not be a big
name, but he's a big time player, and the Bucs have
been riding his hard running all the way to the playoffs.
They'll do it again on Sunday.
WR:
Braylon Edwards vs. Cincinnati: I don't see the Bengals
doing much guarding of Braylon. He's too fast and physical
for them, and he's proven to have that secondary's number.
Look for him to have a big game.
WR:
Randy Moss vs. Miami: One more time, I'm going with
the big receiver in New England. Brady's close enough
to the touchdown title that he might just make a run
at it. Who's his best option to get that done with?
You bet.
TE:
Jason Witten vs. Carolina: The Cowboys have to climb
back with a good game here, don't they? Witten is a
go to guy for Romo, he'll find him early and often.
K:
David Akers vs. New Orleans: Good kicker, bad defense,
in-doors. I like Akers' chances this weekend, even though
I'm terrible at picking kickers this year.
D:
Jaguars vs. Oakland: Oakland is mistake prone and Jacksonville
is very good. The Jaguar offense is very good at staying
on the field which gives their defense ample time to
rest. Good play here.
LUCKY'S
Week 16 SLEEPERS
Sage
Rosenfels: The Colts look like they've packed it
in for the Playoffs, and Sage can put up good numbers
in that offense, I might even start this guy in my fantasy
championship.
Ron
Dayne: What I said about Sage, but Dayne isn't the
biggest threat out there. But I have to give him his
credit, he's been solid when given the ball.
Frank
Gore: Against the Bengals, I think Gore will get
over the 100 yard plateau. He's a very good back, he's
tough, and the Bengals don't tackle well. Tough start
for the young 49er, but he'll be solid in this one.
Brandon
Jacobs: When will the Giants realize that they need
to give this kid the ball more? Jacobs is a beast, and
all he does is succeed when given a high number of carries.
Less Eli, more Brandon. Comprende?
Calvin
Johnson: CJ is a physical freak of nature and he's
getting the majority of balls in Detroit's offense.
You have to like his chances against a Chiefs team that
hasn't been playing good football of late.
Roddy
White: I expect a big bounce back game for Roddy.
Tony
Scheffler: If you've paid attention, I like this
kid a lot. I know he goes up against Denver, but there's
room in the middle of that secondary - Tony might just
find it. s
Deion
Branch: If running the ball isn't going to work
against the Panthers (last week) it definitely won't
work on Sunday. However, the Ravens secondary has been
sketchy for a while now, and Branch could get his passes
this week.
Buccaneers:
I have to take the Bucs again, they had a big week against
a terrible team last week, why not again against yet
another horror of an NFL football team?
LUCKY'S
Week 16 Splinter-Butts (bench him, son)
Eli
Manning: Ain't nothing like watching Eli's "Gummo"
face watch his receivers drop passes - hilarious.
Clinton
Portis: Welcome to Minnesota's defensive line, the
place where stud running backs come to die.
Lee
Evans: The Giants do have a good pass rush, so don't
expect any deep routes from Evans on Sunday - that pretty
much eliminates his whole game.
Donte
Stallworth: I imagine the Patriots will show the
Dolphins how much Wes Welker is worth on Sunday. That
means less looks for Stallworth.
