loqutis 0 Posted December 7, 2012 Carolina vs Atlanta START Matt Ryan - 369 yards and three TDs in their first meeting. Michael Turner - Every time we tell you to sit him he scores. So start at your own risk. But he's wore us down. We're starting him. Panthers, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to backs Jacquizz Rodgers - Julio Jones - scored all six of his touchdowns and gained 614 of his 931 receiving yards away from Atlanta Tony Gonzalez - 13 red zone targets are tied for sixth-most in the NFL SIT Cam Newton - NFL teams have figured him out. Carolina will need to throw to keep up. Unfortunately that means Cam will be limited on his runs. DeAngelo Williams - 12 carries last week when he was the ONLY running back Steve Smith - Atlanta hasn't given up a receiving TD in the last 3 games. Brandon LaFell Greg Olsen Roddy White - Zero TDs since week 4.J ulio dominates away game (very scientific) Carolina has given up the 7th fewest points to WRs this year. Seattle vs Arizona START Russell Wilson - He has scored 20-plus fantasy points in three of his last four games, once of which came on the against the Chicago Bears. Marshawn Lynch - Shonn Greene had over 100 yards against the Cardinals last week. Lynch is a much better RB Rob Housler - Seattle has one of the best group of DBs in the league. AZ will have to find another receiving option SIT John Skelton - Seattle has the #2 pass defense in the NFL Beanie Wells - Only AP has managed a decent game against Seattle at home. Wells is not AP Larry Fitzgerald - He has a combined five catches, 65 yards and no touchdowns in his last three games Michael Floyd Andre Roberts Sidney Rice - Cardinal's have the 3rd ranked pass defense.

Calvin Johnson - averaging 154.8 yards in his past four game Aaron Rodgers Greg Jennings - the Lions have giving up more than 30 points in three of their last four games Randall Cobb - He's the healthiest WR on the roster. Oh and he's pretty good. Jermichael Finley - The Lion's have given up the third most fantasy points to TEs this year. SIT Mike Thomas Mikel Leshoure - Leshoure has only had two games over 80 yards this season. Without TDs he's worthless. Brandon Pettigrew - The Packers have held him to 27 or fewer yards in three of their last four meetings, Alex Green - He lost his job to James Starks. getting it back by default doesn't make him any better. James Jones - A boom-or-bust and touchdown-dependent producer Vikings vs Chicago START Adrian Peterson - Even though the Bears have allowed the 3rd fewest points to RBs, Peterson IS the offense Kyle Rudolph - He's scored one touchdown and double-digit fantasy points in three straight games Brandon Marshall - Matt Forte -. Vikings rush defense has given up 236 yards and three touchdowns the past two weeks SIT Christian Ponder - no Percy Harvin Jay Cutler - Vikings defense has held opposing quarterbacks to one passing touchdown or fewer in seven games Armando Allen Earl Bennett Kellen Davis Toby Gerhart Jarius Wright Colts vs Titans START Andrew Luck - Titans have given up the second most passing TDs in the league.

Buffalo has the 30th ranked run defense. Chris Givens - 11 receptions last week CJ Spiller - Rams, have allowed the third-most total touchdowns and an average of close to 20 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs SIT Ryan Fitzpatrick - The Rams have actually been pretty stout against the pass in road contests, allowing an average of just over 13 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Fred Jackson - Bad weather may have given Jackson a few more carries than he'll see this week. Donald Jones Sam Bradford - Buffalo in December. Since Mario Williams has become healthy the Buffalo D. has looked much better. Stevie Johnson Scott Chandler Austin Pettis Lance Kendricks New England vs Houston START Tom Brady - Wes Welker - #1 passing offense in the league. 18 targets last week Aaron Hernandez Andre Johnson - he's averaged eight receptions and 119 yards per game since Week 6 Matt Schaub - Patriots have the 29th ranked pass defense and a top 10 run defense.

SIT Arian Foster - leads the league in fantasy points, but NE will focus on shutting him down. They have a top 10 run defense Justin Forsett Brandon Lloyd Julian Edelman Stevan Ridley - Houston has the 6yh ranked run offense. Brady will be throwing the ball a ton Kevin Walter Jacksonville vs NY Jets START Marcedes Lewis - receiving more and more targets. The running game is a joke and Henne has looked like... well not Henne SIT Chad Henne - Time to sit Henne. He'll be facing the Jets 4th ranked pass defense. Les than 200 yards a game. Rashad Jennings - Mark Sanchez - Shonn Greene - 24 carries last week, With the passing game in shambles, the Jets will lean on the run. Jeremy Kerley Chaz Schilens Justin Blackmon - This week he faces Antonio Cromartie... no thanks Laurent Robinson Stephen Hill Cecil Shorts - 12 targets last week, but it looks like he may not play Dustin Keller - Oakland vs Denver i]Based on all of the poor performances on Thursday night, we're really not happy about playing anyone on either of these teams [/i] START Peyton Manning - Knowshon Moreno - 40 carries in the last two weeks Demaryius Thomas - over 100 yards in their first meeting. Plus he's had 4 TDs in his last 3 games. Brandon Myers - 244 yards and four touchdowns. in the last 3 games SIT Carson Palmer Denver has the 6th ranked pass defense.

SIT Tony Romo - Cincy leads the lead in sacks. have not allowed a 100 yard receiver or runner since their bye week Dez Bryant - Dallas should attempt to slow down Cincy's pass rush by running the ball a ton this week. Miles Austin - Austin has scored once in his last five games Kevin Ogletree Jason Witten - No stats to back this up, but we just feel Cincy is going to make Romo look like dirt. All his receiving options will suffer. Brandon Tate Mohamed Sanu Andrew Hawkins Cleveland vs Kansas City START Brandon Weeden - He's a gun slinger. Trent Richardson - 28th ranked run defense and Richardson is getting a ton of touches. Josh Gordon - 15 receptions in the past three games Kansas City secondary is bad. 9-12 #1 WRs have scored double digit points against KC. Jamaal Charles - three 100 yard games in the past 4 weeks.

Pierre Garcon - 17 targets the past 2 week. Dennis Pitta - the Redskins, have allowed more fantasy points to tight ends at home than any other team in the league. Joe Flacco - All of his road games can't be flops. The Redskins pass defense is susceptible to the deep ball and Flacco loves to show off his arm strength.

kutulu 1,551 Posted December 7, 2012 Err, cam hasn't thrown a pick in three Weeks, is averaging about 260 yards passing a game during that stretch and has run between 40 and 70 yards in those contests with 2 TD runs. Carolina still has problems but I think your view of cam is a little off the mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RSersen 0 Posted December 7, 2012 I own Dez in two leagues, and thankfully I have a bye in both...but if I was playing this weekend, I'd start him, no doubt. I understand matchups should be considered, but at some point you just have to sit back and ride the hot hand. Over the last four weeks, Dez has 29 rec for 475 yards and 6 TD. More importantly, he's had a TD in every one of those games, and at least 80 yards. His floor over the last month has been 14 points. If you own Dez, he's helped get you this far, and the Cincy defense is not scary enough for me to consider jumping ship in the middle of a hot streak. Next week against Pittsburgh, maybe. But not this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slamdog 0 Posted December 7, 2012 How can i sit Foster? Impossible Right? A "bad game" for Foster would be in the ballpark of 10pts. I don't have many backs that can put up 10+ every week. Maybe he's a sit in a 4-6 man league. Probably not even then. Good post from the guy with the all sit roster. I'd start that team in an instant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But not this game. I completely understand your logic and would really be hard pressed to sit Bryant myself. However, this is more of a "Look Out" game for Bryant. The cowboys have played Philly twice, Cleveland, and Washington in those 4 games. The redskins have allowed the second most points to WRs, the Browns have allowed the 7th most, Eagles have allowed the ninth. Only 4 teams have allowed fewer points to WRs than the Bengals. Cincy leads the league in sacks and Romo has 15 INTs this year, which is the second most interceptions for a QB in the NFL lots of red flags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
