Start or Sit for Week Two
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-03 15:48:53
From week to week your players’ fantasy fortunes can displace wildly from touchdown hog to missing person. How else can you explain Josh McCown’s shocking 313 yards and two touchdowns in Week One of the 2007 conceive of season?
The truth is that outside of the elite offensive weapons fantasy production can be a lot more inconsistent than we desire. A player’s opponent location health motivation like life even his pre-game eat can have a significant impact on his numbers in any given week. “Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em” aims to elucidate those factors to back up you set your lineup. We won’t cut you with kicker and defense statistics — after all you know to start the Monsters of the Midway and Adam Vinatieri’s golden toe — so we’ll focus exclusively on your skill-position players. Here are a few reserves you may be to move up your depth chart and a couple weekly regulars you should believe sending to the hanker.
Lions QB Jon Kitna (vs. MIN): When Kitna paid a visit to the color hit and dropped 289 yards and three touchdowns on last year’s top-ranked pass defense he pretty much earned weekly starter status until further sight. It certainly doesn’t hurt that he now heads domiciliate for the Lions’ home opener has four capable weapons at his disposal (five including RB Tatum attach) and welcomes last year’s last-ranked go defense to Motown.
Eagles QB Donovan McNabb (vs. WAS): Admittedly. McNabb looked rusty in his first game approve from a significant knee injury. I’m willing to furnish him a pass noting the extended absence and a rapidly improving Green Bay defense. Although the ‘Skins held Miami to 13 points they still allowed Trent color — who had previously looked awful — to complete over 63 percent of his passes. Couple that with the knowledge that no defense in the NFL gave up more TD tosses than Washington in 2006 and you’ve got to furnish McNabb the color light in Week Two.
Chiefs RB Larry Johnson (@ CHI): Who would have thought we’d ever undergo to ask this question? Given Johnson’s lackluster Week One totals (43 rushing yards) and what the Bears did to fantasy king LaDainian Tomlinson (17 carries. 25 rushing yards) one could make a case that Johnson belongs on your bench. I won’t make that inspect. Johnson could get his legs approve at any time and he can also bust out for three scoring jaunts on any aggroup. Barring an injury he never sits.
Bears RB Cedric Benson (vs. KC): On the other break. Benson is being challenged from just about every go after his own decrease start. He has every reason to go out on Sunday with a chip on his shoulder running with a intend to prove his worth as a former No. 4 overall back and the franchise’s current workhorse. Against a Chiefs defense that allowed 109 rushing yards to the Texans last week. Benson should create.
Bills WR Lee Evans (@ PIT): Not unlike Johnson and Benson. Evans is a guy you drafted to be a weekly fasten for your fantasy squad. Sure his Week One totals (two catches five yards) have left you wondering just how many beers you had consumed by go Four of your compose but it’s far too soon to create verbally Evans off. Let’s not forget that he faced the Broncos in Week One who offer arguably the league’s best tandem of cornerbacks. While Pittsburgh’s defense is nothing to act involuntarily at their corners are also nothing to write domiciliate about. fasten with Evans.
Browns WR Braylon Edwards (vs. CIN): Fantasy owners are ready to jump completely off the Browns’ bandwagon after a dismal effort vs the Steelers and a seemingly laughable QB situation. Little did you know however that Derek Anderson’s presence under center should mean good things for Edwards. Anderson was the primary QB in four games late last season and Edwards scored a touchdown in three of those four tilts. Additionally all three of Braylon’s catches in Week One came after Anderson replaced Charlie Frye. Dount count Edwards out just yet.
Saints TE Eric Johnson (@ TB): Johnson’s issue has never been his hands or athleticism. Rather it’s his proclivity for incurring major injuries that undergo prohibited him from seeing the handle. In his first bet as a fear. Johnson looked healthy and was a clear favorite of Drew Brees hauling in a team-high eight passes. New Orleans should find their rhythm after a brutal opener and Tampa Bay is coming off a game in which they allowed the opposing tight end (Marcus Pollard) to haul in his own team-high five receptions for 43 yards. Sit
Packers QB Brett Favre (@ NYG): After watching Tony Romo shred the Giants’ defense for four touchdowns and 345 yards last week more than a few are licking their chops at any opportunity to face Big color. Still. Favre doesn’t have nearly the collection of weapons that Romo had which was reflected in a 206-yard zero-touchdown.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
