SameSongNDance 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Danny Amendola @ DET- He's now almost a year removed from a season ending elbow injury and seems to still have a very good connection with Bradford. DET's secondary struggled mightily in five of it's last six games to close out the season last year and is now entering 2012 with essentially the same defensive squad. STL will more than likely end up having to play catch up at some point in this match making him all the more appealing. I'd feel very comfortable flexing him in leagues which reward points per receptions. Malcom Floyd @ OAK - To be honest, Floyd is pretty underwhelming at this point in his career. You cannot however, disregard match-up and situation. Rivers seasonally torches OAK and I don't see that stopping this year. Couple that with the absence of Mathews and a suspect OAK secondary which finished 30th in the league last year and you have yourself a legitimate sleeper. I don't think there will be a better opportunity for Floyd to put up quality stats this year. Mike Williams vs. CAR - I'm personally expecting a bounce back year for Tampa Mike and I think it starts with his week 1 match-up vs. CAR. Williams struggled with double teams all year and eventually became content with a minimized role in 2011. With Vincent Jackson now in town to draw attention, and more importantly CB Chris Gamble in this specific match-up, I'm expecting Williams to flash some of what we saw in 2010. CAR's strong suit isn't exactly their secondary either, as they finished 24th against the pass last year. Braylon Edwards @ ARI - With the recent news of Golden Tate's knee injury that will likely cost him two weeks, Edwards will be getting the nod to line up opposite Sindey Rice for SEA's first game of the season. Edwards showed some unexpected life in the preseason, hooking up with Russel Willson on a handful of catches. Given the opportunity and the nature of this match-up (ARI, although much improved through the second half of last year, still ranked 29th against the pass), Edwards can make for a sneaky play in deeper leagues. Thankfully, he shouldn't be getting any attention from shut down corner Patrick Peterson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sta 5 Posted September 4, 2012 would you play Floyd over Garcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SameSongNDance 0 Posted September 4, 2012 would you play Floyd over Garcon Absolutely not. In NO's last seven games they've allowed 321 passing yards on average to opposing QBs. Their secondary and pass rush are looking pretty questionable at this point. I think RG3 is going to be looking towards Garcon early and often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted September 5, 2012 Going back and forth between Floyd and Stevie J who will be on Revis Island. I think you just swayed me to go with Floyd as I can see the Monday nighter being a high scoring game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raider 84 29 Posted September 5, 2012 Kenny Britt Sneaks on the field wearing a practice players jersey. Then tweats about it at halftime getting 6 game suspension instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SameSongNDance 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Going back and forth between Floyd and Stevie J who will be on Revis Island. I think you just swayed me to go with Floyd as I can see the Monday nighter being a high scoring game. The crazy thing about Stevie is he somehow always finds his way off of Revis Island. In two years and four matches, Stevie has never scored less than 11 points against NYJ in 1PPR. As cheesy as it sounds the dude runs some the most crisp routes I've ever seen haha. Sorry if I made the choice a bit tougher for you. I like the 2 rooks: Wright & Blackmon I agree with you and Muller, I really like Wright this week. There's no way he doesn't see targets while TEN plays catch up. The dude is a straight up play maker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted September 5, 2012 Floyd....and it ain't even close imo. Look at his stats against Oakland last year. I consider him, not a sleeper, but a must start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
