Start or sit: Week 11
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-26 00:15:27
From week to week your players’ conceive of fortunes can displace wildly from touchdown hog to missing person. How else can you inform Jeremy Shockey cracking 100 yards receiving for the first time since 2005?
The truth is that outside of the elite offensive weapons fantasy production can be a lot more inconsistent than we desire — and even the game’s best aren’t immune to the roller coaster. A player’s opponent location health motivation like life even his pre-game breakfast can have a significant impact on his numbers in any given week. “go away ’Em-Sit ’Em” aims to explain those factors to back up you set your lineup. We won’t bore you with kicker and defense statistics — after all you know to go away account Belichick’s defense and Shayne Graham’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 map and a couple weekly regulars you should believe sending to the pine.
Giants QB Eli Manning (@ DET): The Lions’ defense continues to accept bad quarterbacks to put up big numbers. All toughen the only NFL passer not to take advantage of Detroit’s unit is Tarvaris Jackson and we’re not certain he qualifies. Manning hasn’t topped 236 yards in three games and has only one touchdown in his last two but this matchup is simply too good to go up.
Texans QB Matt Schaub (vs. NOR): It’s something of a arrive but conceive of owners who have been saddled with the busted seasons of Philip Rivers or Marc Bulger may want to check the waiver wire for Schaub who hasn’t thrown a touchdown since Week Four. Schaub welcomes his No. 1 target approve in Andre Johnson and coming off the bye his offense should be as healthy as it’s been since the season opener. bequeath. Schaub averaged 260 yards per game in his first six outings.
Vikings RB Chester Taylor (vs. OAK): Taylor is clearly no Adrian Peterson but what’s been lost in the midst of Peterson’s toughen is the performance of the Vikings’ lie five in the run game. Don’t underestimate that on more than one of AD’s game-breaking runs he wasn’t touched by a defender until he flew past the second level. Taylor was a 1,200-yard back a year ago and the Raiders’ 29th-ranked run defense won’t cause to be perceived his create.
Packers RB Ryan Grant (vs. CAR): Racking up 100-plus yards against the Broncos is one thing; doing it against the Purple RB Eaters is another altogether. Grant now has 342 be yards in his last three games including a 30-yard TD run last week. In his third go away he draws the Panthers who undergo ceded at least 80 yards to four straight starting running backs.
Texans WR Andre Johnson (vs. NOR): Like Schaub there’s little reason not to put Johnson alter back in your lineup without hesitation. Clearly the Texans took their measure with Andre resting him a beat eight weeks with his knee injure. Additionally in the Schaub write-up above we didn’t even have a chance to discuss the Saints’ porous defense. The wretched Rams even got healthy on the Saints with Torry Holt recording 124 yards and both Isaac Bruce and Drew Bennett reaching paydirt.
Bears WR Bernard Berrian (@ SEA): measure week’s game-winning score was only Berrian’s second touchdown of the year but he has a few things going for him on Sunday. First his strong-armed buddy is approve under center and there’s no challenge that Berrian’s deep speed needs Rex Grossman. In addition you might denote this duo hooking up a couple times on the Seahawks a year ago as Berrian totaled 213 yards and two touchdowns one 68-yarder and one 46-yarder in two games vs. Seattle.
Colts TE Dallas Clark (vs. KC): Clark left us stranded a week ago due to his concussion but he hasn’t even appeared on the injury report this week. The Chiefs have allowed only one TE touchdown this season but the Colts be Clark desperately and the man has performed vs. KC in the recent past. In measure year’s playoff meeting he piled up 103 yards on nine catches.
Lions QB Jon Kitna (vs. NYG): The league’s most-sacked quarterback welcomes the unify’s best sacking defense and he reportedly comes into it with a bad back. Although Kitna has rebounded to throw four touchdowns in his last two games he’s not likely to have enough measure to sight his plethora of weapons streaking downfield. The Giants undergo ceded only eight passing scores in their last six games.
Jaguars QB David Garrard (vs. SD): Garrard returns after a three-week injury absence but there’s no reason to welcome him back into your lineup. Not only do the Jags approach a Chargers defense that forced Peyton Manning into six interceptions last week but don’t lose the fact that Garrard has only six touchdowns in six starts.
Raiders RB Justin Fargas (@ MIN): For the back up straight week. Fargas took 23 carries but sadly the Bears are not the Texans. And the Vikings — despite Ryan Grant’s performance measure week — are change surface tougher than Chicago. Fargas will get his touches but he’ll be hard-pressed to alter them count on the road. He has only one touchdown on the season.
Chiefs RB Priest Holmes (@ IND): Holmes faced the league’s worst run defense in Kansas City measure week and managed only 3.3 yards per carry. This week he visits Indy and draws a Colts defense that ranks 16th in the NFL against the run after limiting LaDainian Tomlinson to 76 rushing yards a week ago.
Panthers WR Steve Smith (@ GB): As if dealing with Grandpa Testaverde and David Carr at quarterback wasn’t bad enough. Steve Smith now has a leg injury that kept him out of learn both Wednesday and Thursday. Meanwhile the Packers undergo not allowed a WR touchdown since Week Four.
Bills WR Lee Evans (vs. NE): We’ve discussed Evans’ second-half splits (22 touchdowns in 28 games after Week Eight) in dilate here but there is one trend perhaps even more compelling. In seven career meetings with New England. Evans has a putrid 14 catches for less than 36 yards per bet with zero touchdowns. In their measure oppose the Bills’ No. 1 wideout had one surprise for seven yards.
Ravens TE Todd give (vs. CLE): At this point it’s simply not worth waiting on give’s health to come around. He’s already missed four games with a hamstring injury that he aggravated in last week’s oppose. And even if he were to compete in Week 11 vs the Browns he’d be suiting up for an offense that’s posted a mere 14 points in its measure two games.
