Risky Plays for Week 15…
Sanchez could face a tough test….the Jets take their show on theroad this weekend, a place where quarterback Mark Sanchez has just twotouchdowns in his last three (raod) starts. The Eagles defense is ranked just12th against the pass this season, but they have managed 42 sacks and 12 picks this season. The road is a place that has not been too kind for Sanchezas of late, fantasy owners may want to consider other options (if available).
Bears defense could tame the Beast ….runningback Marshawn Lynch has been a wrecking ball tearing through opposing defensesaveraging 114 yards on the ground in his last five games. This week his “beastmode” could be tamed and meet its’ match when he takes the field against theBears defense. The Bears 10th ranked run defense has not allowed asingle 100-yard rusher in their last 8 games (since week 5 against the Lions);and they have not allowed a single rushing touchdown in their last 8 quartersplayed. Lynch will get a ton of work, but could struggle to find many yards onSunday.
Jackson could get lost on Revis Island…..theEagles tumultuous receiver DeSean Jackson has been held in check most of theseason recording just two 100-yard receiving games this season. On Sunday he issure to spend quite a bit of time on Revis Island and could very well likely pulla disappearing act; not what fantasy owners need during championship week. Hehas recorded four or less catches eight times this season and only topped the74-yard receiving mark four times (in 12 games); he’s reward this season hardlyseems worth the risk.

Sometimes a prospect tears through the minors, earns an early promotion to his Major League club, and then takes the majors by storm en route to becoming one of the better players in baseball. Think Ryan Braun. Most of the time, that doesn’t happen. Fantasy owners are particularly fickle with these cases, discarding them in the trash bin in favor of The Next Big Thing.
