[My Take]

More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy week……

Player Notes From Across My Wire...

Benson looks solid in return….

There's no question that the Bengals have themselves a bonafide feature back with Cedric Benson. On Sunday returning from a hip injury that sidelined him a week earlier Benson powered his way through the Lions defense for 110 yards. The bigger stat was his 36 carries and with the Bengals inching their way towards the post season, it would not surprise to see this move become more prevalent.

Owens could breakout this Sunday….

Fantasy owners have not had a lot to get excited about with Terrell Owens arrival in Buffalo. Only once this season has he had a monster fantasy weekend, back in week 11 when he blew up for 25 fantasy points. This week he and his quarterback (FItzpatrick) have more than a favorable matchup against the Chiefs 28th ranked pass defense. This season the Chiefs have allowed a league high 15 pass plays of 40 yards or more and have surrendered 21 passing touchdowns. T.O. hasn't had many big games this season, but this could be one of those weeks.

Rivers has been flowing all season….

While Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Brett Favre grab all the headlines, all the Charger's quarterback Philip Rivers has done this season is complete nearly 65 percent of his passes, throw 21 touchdowns, pass for 3,311 yards, with just six interceptions. With a 104.9 passer rating only Brees and Favre rank higher and over the past seven weeks Rivers is 7-0, with 14 touchdowns, just three picks and 256 yards passing per game. Right now Rivers is playing as well as anyone and just continues to get better.

IDP Notes....

Laurinaitis is a bright spot on Rams defense….

The Rams rookie linebacker James Laurinaitis has been studly since his arrival and all season he's been one of the defenses biggest anchors. Laurinaitis leads the team with 97 tackles this season and in his last three starts he's tallied 37 tackles, including 34 solo. With the Rams defense likely to see a lot of action the rest of the way, this rookie stud will remain a huge IDP play.
