Fantasy Notes:
SIDNEY RICE SHOWS OLD FORM
In only his third game back from injury the Vikings receiver Sidney Rice flashed some of the that Pro Bowl form from last season making a couple circus grabs for a pair of scores on Sunday. On the day Rice finished with five receptions for 105 yards receiving to go with his two touchdown catches.
My Fantasy Read:
Rice looked like his old self making plays last Sunday. Looking ahead to the fantasy playoffs, whether it’s Favre or Jackson under center Rice looks to be a safe play the rest of the way.
BRONCOS DEFENSE SHUTS DOWN BOWE
The Broncos have not had a lot to stand up and cheer about, in particular the defense and the secondary. Over the past month the Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been a beast terrorizing opposing defenses. On Sunday he was completely shadowed and shut down by cornerback Champ Bailey who held the Chief’s receiver without a catch. Bowe was targeted just three times and had two receptions called back, one on pass interference and the other he failed to get his feet down.
My Fantasy Read:
It was an impressive effort for Bailey and the league’s heavily scrutinized 22nd ranked pass defense. This week the Broncos will face the struggling Arizona Cardinals. With Bailey playing this well, a new quarterback under center, Larry Fitzgerald owners have cause to be concerned.
STEVIE JOHNSON STRUGGLES IN WEEK 13
The Bills breakout receiver this season came off one of his worst moments last week, dropping the game winner to playing one of his worst games this past Sunday. Johnson grabbed just passes on four targets that included one drop. The Vikings steam rolled the Bills in the first half, forcing them to become more one dimensional. Lots of pressure in the second half really disrupted the Bills ability to effective throw the ball, add five turnovers that crippled their day and it’s easy to see why the passing game struggled.
My Fantasy Read:
Johnson has been having a big season, but Sunday they were dismantled completely by their own mistakes and missed opportunities. This week Johnson and Bills passing game should be able to bounce back against the Browns 20th ranked pass defense; as long as they clean up the mistakes.
ARMSTRONG HAS BIG AFTERNOON
The Redskins 1st year receiver Anthony Armstrong has been up and down most of the season, but on Sunday he was definitely on the rise coming up with some big catches late in a game that had been long decided. Armstrong snagged six balls on 10 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown. It was only his second score of the 2010 season.
My Fantasy Read:
Over the past two weeks Armstrong has been the busiest wide receiver on the field with 17 targets, but his inconsistency could be a concern (just two grabs in week 12). The upside is the speedy wide out consistently gets open downfield and McNabb still has the arm to get him the ball. He’s a risky play, but if the matchup is right he could be nice sleeper in deeper leagues.
