My Weekly Survivors
With some last minute changes across the line-up, week six turned out to be a bounce back week. Ryan Torain and LaDanian Tomlinson both anchored the backfield last week with two rushing touchdowns each. Torain even added 100 yards on the ground, while Hakeem Nicks was a major disappointment last week finishing with just three catches for eight yards.
A quick note, despite his production Nicks is a must play every week. His numbers were down, but even though he only had three catches he was still targeted seven times. He will get his more times than not.
Not every week is going to be a major success as we have seen, but sometimes with the right matchups our big guns fire load. This is what we hope to see this weekend with our lineup for Week 7.....
QB-Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
The Chargers are back “home, sweet home.” In two games at home Rivers has passed for 575 yards and tossed five touchdowns. Even with a few of his best weapons dinged, he’ll let it fly downfield against the league’s 29th ranked pass defense. (Projected: 29 points/ 285 yards passing, three touchdowns)
RB-Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
In the NFL there is no bigger stud in any backfield than running back Adrian Peterson. Sunday night he’ll take his talents to Lambeau and show the Packers defense a “what for.” Peterson is averaging better than 20 carries a game and almost five yards per carry. He’ll see plenty of work against Green Bay’s 21st ranked run defense that is allowing well over four yards a tote. (Projected: 25 points / 110 yards rushing, 25 yards receiving, two touchdowns)
RB-Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
This week Mike Turner “the speed burner” is going to have his way. Turner is only averaging 18 carries a game, but he should see plenty more on Sunday against the Bengals in a game that likely won’t yield a lot of points. Expect to see the Falcons feature the ground game and Turner to get lots of work against the Bengals 18th ranked run defense. (Projected: 16 points/ 105 yards rushing, one touchdown)
WR-Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
It’s been somewhat of a quiet start this season for Larry Fitz, but the two weeks off should have done him some good. The Cards don’t have a difficult matchup this week against the 30th ranked pass defense, if they can protect their quarterback. If given time, Larry Fitz and his signal caller could have a big day. (Projected: 15 points/ 90 yards receiving, one touchdown)
WR-Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs passing game finally found it’s wings last week against one of the league’s worst pass defenses. This week Bowe and company will face another poor secondary, when the meet the Jaguars (ranked 28th against the pass). Bowe broke out with a huge game last week and could follow up with a nice encore this Sunday. (Projected: 16 points/ 105 yards receiving, one touchdown)
TE-Tony Gonzales, Atlanta Falcons
There’s not been a lot of chatter about Tony G in recent weeks, but here’s some love for him. It won’t be a big day with a lot of yards and catches, but Tony G. will make the most of his opportunity and find paydirt against the Bengals on Sunday. Gonzales has three touchdown receptions this season and in their last two games the Bengals secondary have been beat by tight end for 12 catches and 135 yards. (Projected: 11 points/ 55 yards receiving, one touchdown)
K –Matt Prater, Denver Broncos
The Bronco’s offense continues to struggle in the redzone, fortunately Prater has been solid this season connecting on 11 of 12 kicks this season. Sunday he’ll have a few more opportunities against the Raiders. (Projected: 11 points/ three field goals, two extra points)
