[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...
Moreno could carry big load...
The Broncos running back did not have a big day on the ground last week against the Colts quick and tenacious defense, but with Buckhalter out he shouldered most of the load (23 carries). This could be much of the same this weekend when the Broncos play host to the lowly Raiders ranked 30th against the run. Fantasy owners should keep in mind that Moreno's 23 carry work-load last Sunday was a season high, one he may very easily surpass this week.
Colston and Saints gearing up for a big game....
The Saints will undoubtedly be watching game film this week and taking note of the Cowboys huge struggles in the secondary with the deep ball. The Saints don't boast as big a lineup as the Chargers, but wide receiver Marques Colston standing 6'4" will pose the same threat the Cowboys faced this past weekend. It's a pretty good bet Brees will be calling some post and go routes for Colston on Saturday night.
Warner looking to rebound against Lions....
Without a trust worthy ball carrier, it's becoming pretty clear the Cardinals are going to have to rely on Warner and the passing game once again. On Monday night the running backs coughed up the ball three times and gained just 85 yards on the ground. The Cardinals will need the ground game going into the playoffs, but it's a safe bet this week against the Lions Warner and company will have a big hand in decided this one.
IDP Notes....
Orakpo paid huge dividends for fantasy owners….
The Redskins rookie pass rushing linebacker Brian Orakpo has not been quite the impact player the team thought they drafted coming into Week 14 with just seven sacks, but all that changed on Sunday. Orakpo was more than a disruptive force recording four sacks on the afternoon and forcing one fumble. Fantasy owners that stayed the course were rewarded big time by the kids’ effort.
