Fan Fanatic Sports Staff
Yes, it's finally here. What's that you say? We are finally into the part of the NFL schedule where there are no more bye weeks. It must feel nice to have your full compliment of players. If you're a Patriots fan, it's also time to forget about last week and move on, just as we move on to the breakdown for this week.
Week 11 Best Match Ups:
1. Steelers @ Chiefs - Guys to play: Big Ben, Mendenhall, Mike Wallace, Santonio Holmes, Heath Miller, Steelers Defense, Chris Chambers
2. Saints @ Buccaneers - Guys to play: Brees, Bush, Thomas, Colston (finally come back this week), Shockey.
3. Cardinals @ Rams - Guys to play: Warner, Hightower, Boldin, Fitzgerald, Cardinals defense, Steven Jackson.
Put em' in the Lineup:
QB - Ben Roethlisburger, Brett Favre, Eli Manning
Big Ben will have a bounce back game against The Chiefs this weekend. Watch out for another 300+ yard game against the struggling secondary of the Seahawks. I really think the Giants rebound against a suspect Falcons D.
RB - Brandon Jacobs, Jason Snelling, Ladell Betts
This is a good match up for all the Giants, especially Jacobs. Despite Norwood getting the start, Snelling will get the bulk of carries. Every time I think Betts will not produce, he does. Therefore I would start him
WR - Chris Chambers, Roy Williams, Kevin Walter
Chambers is now the #1 wideout for the Chiefs. He's also the only fantasy worthy player for them this week. Look for another good game as Roy Williams has finally got things going. This is a make it or break it week for me with Kevin Walter. He will get 5 grabs in my opinion and isn't a bad start for #3.
TE - Dustin Keller, Brandon Pettigrew
Dustin Keller kills the Patriots, and I like Pettigrew against Browns.
DEF - Patriots, Lions, Jaguars
I am a firm believer the Pats defense has something to prove. They will show everyone the type of defense they can be this weekend. The Lions are playing the Browns. The Browns are the worst offensive team in the NFL. The Jags take on the Bills in the first week of an interim manager.
Make em' Ride the Bench:
QB - Kyle Orton, Matt Casell, Jay Cutler
Kyle Orton will not even play this weekend, so I wanted to make sure you realized it. I hate the match up for Cassel. I hate Jay Cutler.
RB - Justin Forsett, Jaamal Charles, Larry Johnson
While I think Forsett will be a good back, I don't like him against the Vikings. Wait until next week to start him. Same situation for Charles against the Steelers. Is LJ even playing this weekend? Even if he does, don't go near him yet.
WR - Lee Evans, Malcolm Floyd, Johnny Knox
Evans will not match the output from last week, he's just too inconsistent. Is Floyd the #2? It looks to me like my man Legedu is. After scoring 4 TD's in the first four weeks, Knox has done nothing.
TE - Sean Ryan, Fred Davis, Zach Miller
Ryan is a Chief. Plain and simple. Until Davis can show me some consistency I will find someone else to play. Despite the QB play probably getting better this week, I don't like him.
DEF - Jets, Bears, Broncos
The Pats are coming. The Pats are coming. In case you haven't noticed, the Bears defense is highly overrated. Can anyone stop the Chargers right now?
