FSH: WHAT'S THE SKINNY

December 1st, 2010, Wednesday
What’s the Fantasy Football Skinny

My Fantasy Notes:

WR DWAYNE BOWE IS ON FIRE
Right now there is not hotter wide receiver in fantasy football or the NFL than the Chiefs Dwayne Bowe. Bowe has caught at least one touchdown in each of his last seven games and has totaled 13 scores during that span. For the year Bowe leads the NFL with 14. During his streak, Bowe has been targeted 75 times (leads the league), caught 49 balls for 733 yards. He is simply hotter than the sun and the moment and is averaging 24.6 fantasy points in his last six games, including a scintillating 29 points in his last three. He’s also a fantasy gem in PPR leagues averaging over eight grabs per contest, also in his last six games.

RB PEYTON HILLIS POUNDS THE GROUND
The Bronco’s fans are undoubtedly mourning the loss of Peyton Hillis, while Cleveland fans and fantasy owners rejoice. Hillis has simply been on a tear this season, especially of late. In his last four starts Hillis is averaging over 166 yards of offense and has scored seven times. There’s no question he is having a spectacular season with 905 yards rushing, 46 receptions, 414 yards receiving, and 13 total touchdowns. For fantasy owners he’s averaging over 26 fantasy points per game (traditional scoring) in his last four.

WR ANQUAN BOLDIN REMAINS GROUNDED
The Raven’s wide receiver leads the club with 51 catches this season, but he is hardly soaring as many had expected he might when he arrived in Baltimore. Boldin has remained relatively quiet in his last four games catching a total of just 13 passes for 134 yards and one score; not quite the numbers fantasy owners were looking for.

RB FRED JACKSON JUST POWERS ON
The Bills have been receiving a little bit of fan-fair lately courtesy of the impressive play of their 3rd year receiver Stevie Johnson, but another Bill fans and fantasy owners should be taking notice of is running back Fred Jackson. The Bills starting ball carrier has only averaged 154 yards of offense in his last three games. He has also caught 14 passes and scored five times. The versatile back is proving to be solid in the feature back role, while paying big dividends for fantasy owners. This Jackson is all action averaging just over 24 fantasy points per game (traditional scoring) in his last three games.

QB TOM BRADY IS STARTING TO ROLL
The Patriots quarterback is having another one of those seasons and for opposing defense, that’s Mr. Brady to you. Brady has not thrown a pick since week six and 190 passes later, he has passed for 1,500 yards (250-yards per game) and thrown 14 touchdowns; not bad for a former NFL MVP. And most importantly for Patriot fans, the team is 5-1 in that stretch. For the fantasy owners, Brady is averaging 23.5 points (traditional scoring) in his last six games, but a whopping 31.3 points in his last three.

QB SAM BRADFORD CONTINUES STEADY PLAY
The Rams rookie quarterback is not setting any record books on fire, but he is certainly turning heads with his steady play in the pocket. In his last six starts Bradford has just tossed one interception in 210 pass attempts. The rookie signal caller has been solid with 11 touchdowns during that span, including averaging 264 yards passing in his last three games. Bradford is also averaging 19 fantasy points per game (traditional scoring) in his last six starts; not bad for a rookie or veteran quarterback for that matter.
