The Week In Review - week 10
The Week in Review…
Congrats to the Rams who broke through the ice this week to get their first victory upsetting the Saints in Louisiana which is a step backward for the team from New Orleans. On the injury front AP had to be helped off the field and will be going for an MRI on Monday which is never a good thing and the other rookie Marshawn Lynch turned an ankle though at least he scored a TD before he headed to the bench so be prepared to check your injury reports next week if you own either of them.
Now on to the games…
The Games:
Dirty Birds 20 @ Pussy Cats 13
What a boring game as the Falcons scored on their first and last possessions but nothing else and the Panthers got their TD from their defense. I do think there were more players over 40 in one game that I have ever seen as Vinny T started the game and Morten kicked in it and they are 89 years old combined. Dunn and Crumpler scored for the Falcons and that is all that happened in this one.
Bills 13 @ Winless Fish 10
Another boring contest for Fantasy owners as this game had no offensive rhythm to it whatsoever. The rookie RB from Buffalo scored one before he left the game and Lemon ran in the other one. I thought the fish might get into the win column but they could not hold back the Bills in the 4th quarter.
Rams 37 @ Saints 29
The Rams broke into the win column this week in a shoot-out with the Saints. Bulger threw for 300 + and 2 TD’s one to Bruce and one to Bennett. Holt had a 124 yards and SJax ran for one and threw for another. The Saints got off to a slow start but Brees wound up with 272 yards throwing for 2 TD’s and 2 Int’s. His primary target was Coltson but found both his TE’s for his touchdowns. Reggie Bush also got a little dinged but he did find the end zone in a relatively unproductive game for him.
Broncos 27 @ Chiefs 11
What a difference Jay Cutler makes as the Broncos looked like a different team this week in Arrowhead. Travis Henry did not play but no matter as Selvin Young stepped in and ran for a score + a c-note. The Chiefs were without LJ and therefore without their offense as they only managed to kick 3 FG’s and score a safety.
Bungles 21 @ Ravens 7
The Bungles moved the ball between the 20’s but never found the end zone as Shayne Graham kicked 7 FG’s this week for all their scoring in this one. The Ravens got their touchdown once the reigns were turned over to Mr. Boller who promptly led them down the field for a score though it was a little too late.
Vikings 0 @ Packers 34
The Packers are for real folks as today they ran on the Vikings which noone does and Brett Favre was his usual self throwing for 351 yards and 3 TD’s though they were not to his usual suspects as Rovell Martin caught two and one to Donald Lee who just got his contract extended. The beneficiary of the rebound running game is Ryan Grant who put up a career best 119 yards and a TD. The only thing that happened for the Vikes in this game was the loss of AP, the bigger question is for how long.
Jaguars 28 @ The Titans 13
A defensive tackle can make quite a difference as the Titans were without Mr. Haynesworth which allowed the Jags to run all over the Titans as MJD ran for a 100 +a score and Fragile Freddy found the end zone as well. Vince Young and company can not come from behind and they were today which took them out of their running game and force Vince to pass which is no good for anyone as he had more Int’s then TD’s this week. Lindale White could not find a rhythm and came off hobbling towards the end of the 3rd quarter so you need to check on him later in the week.
21 Lions @ Cardinals 31
The Cardinals defended their home turf in a game that was marred by Turnovers. Kurt Warner threw for 3 TD’s two to Fitz and one to Pope who also caught one from Rattay giving him two on the day. The Lions ran for -18 yards so that will tell you the kind of day that Kevin Jones had though he did score a TD. Roy Williams and Jon Kitna hooked up twice in the 4th quarter as the Lions feverishly tried to come back.
Eagles 33 @ Skins 25
Donovan McNabb had one of those games throwing for 4 TD’s and his primary target was Mr. Westbrook who caught two and ran for another. McNabb’s other two went to two players who have been a disappointment this year as LJ Smith and Reggie Brown hauled them in. The Skins put up a good fight as Jason Campbell threw for 3 TD’s, two to James Thrash and the other to Kennan McCardell so I doubt anyone benefited from those.
Browns 28 @ The Steelers 31
This game was a lot closer then I thought it would be as both QB’s kept their teams in it. Big Ben threw for 2 and ran for one finding Hines Ward and Heath Miller for scores and Willie Parker ran for over a 100 but could not find the end zone. Derek Anderson continued his stellar play throwing for 3 TD’s one each to Winslow, Edwards and Vickers.
Bears 17 @ Raiders 6
In the final yucky game of the day the Bears were led to victory by Rex Grossman who came in to replace an injured Gresie and found Berrian deep for a score. Cedric Benson ran for a score and 76 yards which was all the offense in this game.
Cowboys 31 @ G-men 20
Tony Romo led the Cowboys to victory hooking up with T.O. twice, and one each to Crayton and Tony Curtis. The Giants were led by Shockey who had a huge game this week catching 12 balls for a 129 yards and a score. Brandon Jacobs had 95 yards on the ground but his TD was called back due to a holding call late in the 3rd.

The Week In Review
The Week in Review…
Well, well, well once in a season is a fluke, twice in a season is awesome and that is what is Adrian Peterson, the Viking rookie is, simply awesome! The performance he had today was unbelievable; 296 yards and 3 TD’s against the Chargers. All I can say is WOW! I am sure if you were like me and faced AP you went down in flames this week as that is a big time performance. In a year when we are talking about QB’s and WR’s quite often the three of the top four scorers were RB’s as Jamal Lewis and Addai both had big days. As we head to week 10 there are only 5 more games left this season so it is gut check time in the fantasy world and injuries are playing a major factor as LJ went down, Ocho Cinco left on a stretcher, Henry, Cutler & Norwood are all banged up as well.
Now on to the games…
The Games:
Pats 24 @ Colts 20
The game was billed as “the real superbowl” and it did not disappoint the viewers and from a fantasy perspective as Mr. Brady threw for 3 TD’s one each to Moss, Welker and Faulk. Peyton ran for 1 and threw for another and Addai ran for a hundred and turned a screen pass into a long touchdown. Wayne, Clark and Stallworth had below average days but at least Wayne and Clark will bounce back as well as we should see the return of Mr. Harrison next week.
Bolts 17 @ Vikings 35
Wow what a performance by the team that resides in the land of many lakes. The Vikings proceeded to run all over the Bolts as AP ran for 3 and 296, Chester got 60 and a score as well. It is quite an impressive performance by the O-line and RB’s as teams know the Vikings are going to run and yet they still can which is simply awesome. LT found the end zone but that was all for the Chargers from a fantasy perspective as Gates, Chambers and Rivers disappointed many fantasy owners by getting shut down by the worst pass defense in football.
The Pack 33 @ Chiefs 22
Brett Favre is putting together a season to remember as he led to the Pack to victory while throwing for 360 yards and two scores as well. The recipient of the old man’s generosity was Mr. Jennings who caught them both one of which went for 60 yards. LJ was on a roll in this game until he turned an ankle and did not return but did find the end zone twice before he took his seat on the bench. Let’s hope LJ is ok as he looked like he was returning to form.
Broncos 7 @ Detroit’s Finest 44
The Lions pounded on the Broncos who lost Cutler early in the game and then Travis Henry a little later. The defense of the Lions scored twice and Kitna threw for two more; one to McDonald and the other to Furrey. All the Broncos disappointed today and things are looking gloomy in Denver.
Bungles 22 @ Bills 33
Folks, the Bungles are really bad and this week the Bills got their chance and did not disappoint. We can officially welcome back Lee Evans 9 balls for 165 yards and a TD but the real star was the other stud rookie running back Marshawn Lynch who ran for one, threw for another and scampered for over 150 yards as well. The Bungles and Carlson Palmer are reeling but Carlson did throw for 2 TD’s one to “The Housh” who is lone bright spot on this year’s squad.
49ers 16 @ Falcons 20
The Falcons won the battle of the really bad teams as neither squad to move the ball with any consistency, though the Falcons found a bit of a running game as Mr. Dunn ran for a c-note and a score. The 49ers continue to struggle and without Frank Gore there was no balance to their attack and were under constant pressure from the Falcons “D”.
Panthers 7 @ Remember The Titans 20
Lindale White scored the hat trick and ran for the century mark for third straight game and found the end zone as well. The Panthers could do nothing against the vaunted defense from Tennessee as the Titans sacked Mr. Carr 7 times and intercepted him once and for those who have them on their roster make sure to hang on to them.
Cardinals 10 @ Bucs 17
The Bucs D brought their A game to this one as they shut down the running game of the Cardinals completely though Edge did find the end zone. Jeff Garcia and Joey Galloway hooked up for a score but the story for the Bucs was Earnest Graham who ran for more then a 100 and found the end zone as well.
Skins 23 @ The Jets 20 in OT
Clinton Portis literally put the Skins on his back and he led them to a comeback victory against the Jets by carrying the ball 36 times for a 196 yards and found the land of milk and honey once along the way. All the other scoring for the Skins were done by their kicker Suisham who put it through the uprights 5 times including the game winner in OT. The new QB of the Jets Mr. Kellen Clemens did no better then the hanging Chad as he could only lead the team to one score on the day. At least New Yorkers still have the Giants to be excited about.
Jags 24 @ The Saints 41
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints look like they have found their mojo as they lit up the Jaguars whose defense has been playing quite well. Drew put the ball up in the air 49 times gaining 445 yards and three TD’s one each to Patten, Moore and Mr. Bush who also ran one in as well. Quinn Gray threw for 2 TD’s a long one to Reggie Williams and one to Dennis Northcut. The Jags running game was non-existent as they were playing from behind most of the game and were forced to throw more then they like.
Seahawks 30 @ Browns 33 (OT)
The second overtime game of the day was a high scoring affair as the crowd in Cleveland was certainly entertained by the offensive show. The Browns came out the victors and used the pass to get down the field but each time they got close they handed the ball of to Jamal Lewis who found pay dirt 4 times yet only managed to gain 37 yards on the day. The rest of the Browns certainly put up a lot of yards as Anderson threw for 364 yards a buck twenty-five went to Mr. Winslow and another 67 went Braylons’ way. The Seahawks on the other hand were led by Matt Hasselback who threw for 2 TD’s one to Bobby Engram and the other to a healthy DJ Hackett who has been on the sidelines all season.
Texans 24 @ Raiders 17
The Texans were without their starting QB and their #1 WR, yet they found a way to win today behind the legs of former Heisman trophy winner Ron Dayne who rushed for 122 yards and a score after replacing Ahman Green yet again who gave it a go and found the end zone as well. Sage Rosenfels peformed admirably finding Andre Davis for a score right after the Raiders had cut the lead to 7 in the 4th quarter. Justin Fargas was the lone bright spot for the Raiders carrying the rock 23 times for over a 100 yards and a score. It will be interesting to see who gets the majority of the carries for the Raiders moving forward as Lamont was healthy but only carried the ball 4 times and caught two balls out of the backfield for no impact whatsoever.

The Week in Review
The Week in Review…
As the weather begins to change around the country, fantasy footballers are getting used to the fact that if you don’t have players from the Pats, Chargers, Colts, Cowboys and dare I say Browns, you anxiously watch and wait every week to see who will rise to the occasion and carry your team to victory. This week was no different as those 4 teams (Cowboys were on a bye) continued to put points on the board and their studs continue to reward their fantasy owners.

Trash – Vince Young – 42 yards passing, Lamont Jordan – 16 yards rushing and everyone else who plays for these offensively challenged teams.

VIP’s – Brandon Jacobs – 23 carries for 131 yards..
Trash - Manning, Burress, Toomer, Chatman & Games in foreign markets
Bears 7 @ Lions 16
VIP’s – Kevin Jones 105 yards + a TD & Greg Olsen 6-59 + a TD

VIP’s – Lee Evans – Hooray for Mr. Evans who made this prognosticator look like a genius hauling in a bomb for an 85 yard score and crossing the century mar as well.
Trash – The Jets, I can hear the chants in the Meadowlands now. JETS Just End The Season…well no worries it is over.

Waiver Wire Wonders
Waiver Wire Wonders
Another week another star player goes down as Ronnie Brown is done for the year…there were also several players who had to leave the game early from MJD to Travis Henry so check the injury reports as this time of year it is tough to field a healthy team.
QB’s -
Desperate times call for desperate measures as who knows who will be healthy enough to start this week at the QB position. Here are two candidates who are more then likely on your waiver wire and don’t have the worst match-ups I have ever seen.
Dante Culpepper – The Raiders take on The Titans who gave up 4TD’s to Sage Rosenfels who is the Texans back-up as clearly the only way to move the ball on this team is through the air.
Alex Smith – It looks like Alex will return to the line-up this week for the 49ers and he gets to face the Saints who aren’t exactly a shut down defense so look for Alex to return the 49ers to the win column.
RB’s
Jesse Chatman – The once hot RB is now hot again as Ronnie Brown is gone for the year and Jesse gets a chance to prove he is worthy of being called a #1 RB though I hope you have better options as the Fish face the Giants who are enfuego.
Chris Henry – No not the WR who comes back the week after next I am talking about the running back from the Titans who will get his chance to carry the ball quite a bit in their run heavy offense if Chris Brown does not come back this week.
WR’s
Kevin Walter – The Texans WR has two first names and is on quite a tear so if he is on your waiver wire go ahead and grab him.
Arnaz Battle – Alex Smith will be back and he and Arnaz will look to pick-up where they left off before Alex headed to the bench to get healthy.
Defense
Bills – Buffalo gets the Jets this week so they maybe worth taking a chance on as the Jets are in trouble.
49ers – The 49ers get the Saints this week and that should help their defense get back to the way they played the first two games this season.

The Week in Review...
The Week in Review…
Another high scoring week for Brady owners as the Patriot QB topped his performance from last week with 6TD’s against the Fish. Again this week we saw a kicker go crazy as Rob Bironas put 8 through the uprights though he is only owned by an average of 3 percent of all owners so I doubt he did much to swing the balance of this weeks fantasy results. Finally the week had a few more fantasy starters get dinged including Ronnie Brown who has been a consistent performer this fantasy season but overall a healthier week then normal in fantasyville.
The Games:
Titans 38 @ The Texans 36
The Titans looked like they were on their way to a dominating victory before Matt Schaub got hurt and Sage Rosenfels came into relieve him and throw for just under 300 yards and 4 scores. He found four different receivers including a long one to Andre Davis and once to Kevin Walter as well. The Titans were led by their kicker who had 8FG’s but the trend that Fantasy owners have to be most excited about is that Lindale White scored again and this time topped 100 yards as well so make sure to keep him active in your line-ups.
Pats 49 @ The Fish 28
Brady did it again as he through for 6 TD’s throwing 2 to Moss and Welker who is quickly becoming a must start moving forward as the Pats show no signs of putting the ball on the ground. The fish were blown out by the end of the 1st half and may have lost Ronnie Brown for a while so check your injury reports as if Brown is dinged up I doubt he will see the field as the Fish have nothing to play for anymore.
49ers 15 @ The G-Men 33
The Giants continued their surge behind the legs of Brandon Jacobs who ran for a 100 yards + a score and Eli Manning threw 2 more scores one to Shockey and the other to Toomer who has all of the sudden returned to fantasy relevance. The Giants defense also continued to put points on the board as they ran one back and sacked the QB 6 more times. The 49ers struggled offensively yet again and Frank Gore owners are suffering because of it. DJax finally found the end zone towards the final minutes of the game so hopefully they can build upon that.
Dirty Birds 16 @ Da Saints 22
Drew Brees and company did not put up a ton of points but did enough to get victory number two and along the way through 2 scores as well. Brees was about the only performer worth mentioning on the Saints side and well the Falcons were looking good behind Bryon Leftwich until he turned his ankle and had to finish the rest of the game on the pine. Roddy White continued along his breakout season being targeted 8 times for over a 100 yards and a score.
The Bucs 16 @ The Lions 23
The Mike Martz Air show has been grounded but now worries Kevin Jones is back to carry the load for the Lions as he broke the century mark and found the end zone for the third time this season. This is a good sign for the Lions overall as the more the running game produces the better off the passing game will be long term. The Bucs were led by Garcia who threw for 316 yards + 2 scores as the the running game has become less of a factor for this team as the injuries to the line may be too much for them to overcome.
Cards 19 @ Skins 21
Jason Campbell disappointed many fantasy football owners who expected him to at least match the 44 year old QB wonder from the Panthers but produced bubkas throwing for less then a 100 yards and no TD’s. Clinton Portis however did cross the goal line twice but only managed to gain 43 yards on the ground. The Cards are a hurting bunch right now and against the tough D of the skins they struggled on offense. Anquan Boldin however returned to the field and found the end zone in his first day back.
Ravens 14 @ Bills 19
The Ravens went into Buffalo expecting an easy time against the Bills of Buffalo but only found it hard to get their offense going. McGahee broke off a long one on his way to a 114 yard day and Boller found Mason for a score as Derek continues to be a regular producer for the Ravens. The Bills were led by rookie RB Marshawn Lynch who found the end zone yet again and is the most consistent performer in their line-up other then their kicker Mr. Lindell.
Chiefs 12 @ Raiders 10
LJ did it again as he found the end zone for the second time in two weeks and also went for a 100 yards so LJ owners should feel good about putting him in their line-up the rest of the way. LJ was about all there was to talk about in this one as both teams struggled to put up points.
Bungles 38 @ J.E.T.S 31
Kenny Watson was the story in this one as the one-time sub filled in quite admirably for Rudi Johnson find the end zone three separate times for the Bungles who desperately needed a win. The Housh remained Carlson Palmer’s primary target hauling in 4 balls and including one for a score. Chad Pennington may have just done just enough to hold to his job as he found Coles two times and Cotchery once on his way to a 3TD performance.
The Hapless Rams 6 @ Seahawks 33
Who will win first that is the question will it be the Rams or the Dolphins who knows but what we do know is that the Fish still put up points and the Rams do not do so regularly so be wary when playing your Rams. The Seahawks are still waiting for Alexander to wake up but in the meantime they are leaning on the arm of Matt Hasselback who found back-up TE Will Heller twice in the end zone for the only two offensive touchdowns in this game. The rest of the offense came from the kickers and the defense in what must have been a boring contest for everyone but the Seahawk fans.
Vikes 14 @ The Cowboys 24
Adrian Peterson is human as he only found the end zone one time could muster only 63 yards against the defense of the Boys. The other Vikings score came from their defense on a fumble return and they continue to remain a must start moving forward. The Cowboys also got a score from their defense in addition to one the ground from Barber and one through the air from Romo who found T.O in the back of the end zone.
Bears 19 @ The Birds 16
The Brian Gresie led Bears found a way to win again primarily behind 4 FG’s from Robbie Gould and through Brian did throw for 322 yards and a score to Mushin Muhammad. The once vaunted Eagles offense is vaunted no more as maybe that knee is really bothering Donovan Mcnabb as he continues to struggle to find consistency with his wide receiving core as both Brown and Curtis were shut down this week and it looks like those folks who drafted Brown need to begin to find alternative options as he is clearly a bust.
The Steelers 28 @ Broncos 31
The Sunday night game was an exciting one as a Jason Elam last second field goal was the difference in this one. In this game both QB’s played well as Big Ben threw for 4TD’s and Mr. Cutler threw for 3 more in a game where you would have expected the running games to dominate. While Jay spread the ball around Big Ben found his two favorite targets in Heath Miller who grabbed two and Santonio Holmes who found pay dirt once.

Waiver Wire Wonders
Waiver Wire Wonders
Where do you go this week to find help for your injured players or those who are on a bye? Well here are a few folks who might be worth adding to your roster.
QB’s
Jeff Garcia – The Tampa QB is going to have to carry the Bucs now that Cadillac and Pittman are gone so if you need some help this week he might be worth the roster spot as they line-up against the Lions.
Damon Huard – This Chief QB could be worth a flier this week as KC takes on the Raiders in Oakland the Silver and Black will be focusing their attention on LJ which could be lead to a good day for Mr. Huard.
RB’s
Kevin Faulk – The Pats play the Fish and Sammy Morris now banged up so Faulk could be the beneficiary. Pay attention to the injury reports but he could be worth a roster spot if Sammy is down for a long period of time.
Musa Smith – This is a more of a hunch that McGahee could begin to wear down as he is having to carry the Ravens on his back this season.
WR’s
Reggie Williams – If you need a flyer this week go grab Reggie as the Jags face the Colts and will need to put up some points to stay in the game.
Ike Hillard – Ike is quietly putting together a very productive season and while he may not find the end zone that often he certainly has become one of Jeff Garcia’s favorites.
David Patten – Patten has become the #2 man in New Orleans and it looks like the Saints may be getting back on track and they head to Atlanta next week so he could put up some numbers.
TE’s
Desmond Clark/Greg Olsen – Which ever Bear TE is available in your league is worth a roster spot as Mr. Gresie makes them a regular target.
David Martin – Cleo Lemon has made a new friend and his name is David Martin who caught two TD’s last week in Cleo’s debut.
Defense
Seahawks – The Seahawks are reeling but they get a present this week as the Rams come to town and bring their lack of offense with them.
Texans – If Vince Young doesn’t play it will make the Titans one dimensional and that will make this contest a very low scoring affair.
