My Fantasy Notes:
KEVIN KOLB IS SHARP AGAINST FALCONS
Against the Falcons last Sunday, Kolb played one of his best games completing 23 of 29 passes for 326 yards. The Eagle’s quarterback also threw three touchdowns with just one pick and finished the game with a rating of 133.6.
My Fantasy Read:
Kolb has looked sharp, but as good as he has played it’s still probably Vick’s job to lose (unless Reid suddenly changes his tune). As long as Vick figures to be the man, Kolb is a great hand-cuff. If you have one, go get the other.
JOE FLACCO HAS SOLID GAME AGAINST THE PATS
The Ravens passing offense has been starting to show real life over recent weeks and one big reason has been the play of Flacco. On Sunday Flacco passed for 285 yards against the Patriots on 27 of 35 passing (77%). It was his third game this season with at least 250 yards passing. He also added two touchdown throws.
My Fantasy Read:
Flacco has yet to reach the elite passing conversation, but he is slowly making progress toward the upper tier of passers in the fantasy world. For now he is a solid back fantasy quarterback, but give him time.
CHRIS IVORY SHINES AGAINST THE BUCS
If Ivory continues to improve as he has, Saints fans may soon forget they are missing both Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas. The rookie running back broke loose on Sunday against the Buccaneers for 158 yards rushing on 10 carries. Ivory also caught a pass for 17 more yards.
My Fantasy Read:
For now Ivory looks like a safe play this week with both Bush and Thomas unlikely to go Sunday, but once the regulars get healthy, Ivory is going to see less work; use him now while you can.
RYAN TORAIN SCORES TWICE ON SUNDAY
The Redskins feature back had a big day last Sunday against the Colts defense, finishing the evening with 20 carries and 100 yards on the ground. Torain also saw short-yardage work in the red-zone and punch two runs in for scores.
My Fantasy Read:
With Clinton Portis sidelined, this Shanahan favorite is a lock to remain the focal point of the ground game. Remember the Shanahan camp has produced more 1,000 yard rushers than any, so it’s a safe bet to expect Torain to be productive in the backfield. As long as he’s the starter he remains a safe weekly play.
DWAYNE BOWE RISES ON THE SEVENTH DAY
After spending the first several weeks of the season missing in action (just nine catches, one touchdown) Bowe finally came to life last Sunday against the Texan’s defense. The Chiefs go-to receiver broke out with his best game of the season, catching six passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
My Fantasy Read:
If Bowe can raise his level of play every Sunday to this height, he will quickly rise to the top of conversations when discussing some of the best hands in the league. He did have the favorable matchup of facing the Texans secondary (worst in the league) last week so don’t rush to sell the farm just yet, but Bowe is clearly making strides back in the right direction. He’s only a number three fantasy receiving option at the moment, but he’s got great potential to improve quickly.
