Fantasy Notes:
A breakdown of the notable fantasy players that will take the field on Super Sunday, February 6th,2011;
James Starks: Led the NFL Rushing in Post Season
The Packer’s rookie runner has been the spark the offense has needed in the run game to keep their explosive passing game firing on all pistons. Starks has ran well enough for Green Bay to lead the NFL in rushing this post season with 263 yards.
My Fantasy Read:
Starks role in the run game is very simple the team is not looking for yards, but rather the number of carries. His 70 attempts this post season led everyone, but he did only have one score in three games. Starks may get a couple of shots, but he’ll be hard pressed to score on the ground against the Steel Curtain.
Aaron Rodgers: Top Passer in the Post Season
There has been no other quarterback quite as hot this post season as Rodgers, at least up until the NFC Championship. Rodgers did not struggle per say, but he did throw two interceptions in the win along with 244 yard and a rushing touchdown. Rodgers finished the 2010 season with just under 4,000 yards passing, 28 touchdowns, and a passer rating of 101.2.
My Fantasy Read:
The Packer’s gunslinger is on a roll knocking down the best the NFL has to offer; the Giants, Eagles, Falcons, and Bears twice. Last season against the Steelers Rodgers did not have 500 yards passing, but he did throw for nearly 400 and accounted for four scores; three pass and one run. Super Sunday should be great for Aaron.
Mike Wallace: Big Play Specialist in 2010
The Steeler’s speedy receiver led the team this season with 60 receptions for 1,257 yards receiving with 10 touchdowns. Wallace’s 21.0 yards per catch ranked 2nd in the NFL while his 26 catches for 20 or more yards led all receivers this past season.
My Fantasy Read:
Wallace is the homerun hitter for the Steelers. Last year against the Packers Wallace was held in check to just two catches, but both were big balls for scores; one was for 19 and the other was for 60 yards.
Heath Miller: Played Big in Last Matchup with Packers
The Steelers tight end did not make many catches in the post season, but don’t count him out of Super Sunday. Miller led the team this post season with 7 catches and finished with 77 yards receiving and a score. For the year Miller was the team’s third leading receiver with 42 catches, 512 yards receiving, and two touchdowns.
My Fantasy Read:
A big note for Miller, in last year’s shootout with the Packers he set a career high with 118 yards on seven catches. The Packers had some trouble with balls out of the backfield against the Bears, but managed to keep tight end Greg Olsen in check; it may not be another career day for Miller.
Jordy Nelson: Quietly Becoming A Weapon for Rodgers
Behind the Packers leading receiver Greg Jennings, Nelson was second on the team this post season with 12 receptions for 146 yards. Nelson has quietly moved up the depth chart into the number three slot and will see plenty of snaps come Super Bowl Sunday. Nelson finished the 2010 season with 45 catches and 582 yards.
My Fantasy Read:
This post season Nelson has developed into one of Rodgers best targets and most reliable hands on the field. The third year product out of Kansas State is also a very good blocker, so he’ll see plenty of snaps on Sunday in the pass and run game making him a safe fantasy play.
