FSH: THE FANTASY SPORTS ZONE (THE FOUR HORSEMEN)

December 18th, 2010 Saturday
The Four Horsemen

Let’em Ride


If you have managed to survive this far in your fantasy league, there’s no question that the recent plague of injuries and changes at the quarterback position could have a major impact on your fantasy team. With the fantasy playoffs underway, this is no time to be rolling the dice and taking your chances on a long shot. With some of the biggest names (Greg Jennings, Dwayne Bowe, and Brandon Lloyd) in fantasy football affected by some of the lineup changes teams will be making on Sunday, I will be riding this weekend with these four horsemen; Jon Kitna, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Williams, and Owen Daniels

Like “the four winds of the earth” these fantasy game breakers are looking to ride high in week fifteen and bring some fantasy owners home a bid to the big dance…..

Quarterback:
The Cowboys play host to the league’s 29th ranked pass defense on Sunday. With the Redskins offense undergoing some drastic changes, the real benefactor on Sunday could be the Jon Kitna and the Cowboys offense. The Redskins don’t do a great job of bringing pressure and this season the secondary has been torched for 19 touchdowns and 44 pass plays of 20 yards or more. Kitna has been playing much better lately throwing 9 touchdowns to just four interceptions in his last five starts. With the struggling Redskins in town, he should be solid for a strong outing.
(My Prediction: 24 of 38 passing, 275 yards, two touchdowns)

Running Back:
The Cardinals will be traveling to Carolina on Sunday and bringing with them their 30th ranked run defense that allows 4.4 yards per carry and has surrendered 16 rushing touchdowns. This spells good news for the Panther’s running back Jonathan Stewart who has been running very well as of late. In his last three games Stewart is averaging 6.3 yards per carry and 108 yards rushing per game. Stewart has only two rushing touchdowns this season, but with such a favorable matchup he looks like a good bet to reach pay dirt.
(My Prediction: 20 carries, 110 yards rushing, 1 receptions, 10 yards receiving, one touchdown)

Wide Receiver:
Last week against the Redskins, wide receiver Mike Williams was held to just a single catch for 15 yards; it was his worst game this season. Last week was played in horrible and wet conditions, with the prospect of much improved weather Williams looks like a strong bet to bounce back. The Lions (ranked 13th against the pass) are in town this week and should offer Williams a better shot at producing good numbers. Thus far the Lions secondary allows 63 percent of opposing passes to be completed and has surrendered 21 touchdowns this season. Williams won’t have a break out day, but he should be productive.
(My Prediction: 6 receptions, 75 yards, one touchdown)

Tight End:
Last Monday against the Ravens, tight end Owen Daniels made his return to action catching five passes for 91 yards. Daniels 2010 season has been plagued with injury, but he’s finally looking healthy and could be ready for a big game. Against the Ravens Daniels showed some rust with a few drops, but as he gets back in the swing he’ll clean up those drops. This week he has the Titan’s, one of your friendlier tight end secondary’s this season; expect another solid outing for the Texan’s tight end.
(My Prediction: 6 receptions, 85 yards, one touchdown)
