Fan Fanatic Sports Staff
Well, first off I need to apologize. You see, I simply didn't know yesterday was Friday. No excuses, I screwed up and lost track of the days. Apparently that happens when you have newborn twins in the house and your on leave from work. Enough of that, now onto Fantasy Football. This is week 14 so you should either be in your last regular season week or the first week of playoffs. Either way, you're gearing up for a big championship run or playing the spoiler. If you're season is over and you have the chance to prevent someone from making the playoffs, make sure to keep your fantasy integrity and put out your best lineup.
Fantasy Match Ups of the Week:
1. Eagles @ Giants - I simply love this NFC East match up for fantasy this week. Both starting QB's are good to go this week. Normally I really like Philly's D, but something about this game screams big point on both sides. Brian Westbrook is out again, so keep looking for LeSean Jackson. It's also time to start Jason Avant. While doing research, I also like Kevin Boss in this game as he had a good game against the Eagles earlier this season.
2. Chargers @ Cowboys - The same goes for this match up. Phillip Rivers and Tony Romo are primed for big games. I am not a huge fan of LT this week, but do love Gates and Vince Jackson. Please forget about both defenses and look for Miles Austin to have a 3rd straight big game.
3. Seahawks @ Texans - The Seahawks are 1-5 on the road this season. Forget about that this week. They may not win, but they'll put up some fantasy points. Jim Mora Jr. continues using Julius Jones (I don't know why) so don't expect too much for Justin Forsett. You can look to his usual TJ Housh and Nate Burelson though. What ever you do stay away from John Carlson. He's like fantasy poison. On the other side, I think Matt Schaub will be fine. The Seahawks give a ton of yards up in the air so both Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter should have double digit fantasy games.
Put em' in the lineup:
QB - Joe Flacco, Bruce Gradkowski, Matt Moore
Flacco will have an easy double digit game against the Lions. If you play in a deep, deep league and are in need of a QB for some reason, don't feel bad about using Gradkowksi against the Redskins. He's played very well against the Steelers last week with over 300 yards and 3 TD's. I know I am really going out on a limb with this one, but trust me, Matt Moore will have a good game against the Patriots
RB - Jamaal Charles, Quinton Ganther, Sammy Morris
I love Jamaal Charles lately and especially against Bills run defense. Ganther is simply a better back than Rock Cartwright and he'll get more touches. Sammy Morris will get more carries than Maroney as the Pats need a more straight forward runner against the Panthers defense.
WR - Robert Meachem, Steve Smith (CAR)
Robert Meachem has turned himself into a must 3rd WR start every week with his play. I love the original Steve Smith against the struggling Patriots defense.
TE- JerMichael Finley, Jason Witten
Finley looked fantastic last week hauling in 7 catches and a touchdown. Look for him to finish the season strong. Yes, we did have a Jason Witten sighting last week. I've always been a fan and look for him to continue to help that Dallas offense down the stretch.
DEF - Jets, Cardinals
I love the Jets defense against Tampa Bay this weekend. Same thing goes for the Cardinals. Did you see the way they played on Monday night? There will be no letdown this week.
Make em' ride the bench:
QB - Jay Cutler, Kellen Clemens
I really don't like Jay Cutler, especially in big games. Don't trust Kellen Clemens. The Bucs defense isn't that bad.
RB - Lawrence Maroney, Brandon Jacobs, Justin Forsett
We all know I am not a big fan of Maroney. Like I said above, I just expect his touches to be reduced with Sammy Morris on the field as well. Last week was not something you should expect from Brandon Jacobs. Don't start him against Philly. I know I will not. I really like Forsett, I just don't think he'll get enough touches to warrant a start.
WR - Sam Aiken, Antonio Bryant
Aiken has looked pretty good lately, but look for a heavy dose of Wes Welker tomorrow. Antonio Bryant meet Darelle Revis. Expect to be shut down.
TE- Benjamin Watson, John Carlson
Is Watson even on this team anymore? Where have you gone John Carlson? Apparently to the waiver wire.
DEF - Patriots, Broncos
Do you get a theme from me this week. Don't get me wrong, the Patriots will win this game, but I think it'll be a lot closer than you think. I just don't trust the defense at all. It's not that I don't like the Broncos, I just don't like their defense taking on the Colts
Good luck with the Playoffs
