Turner
Limited, Rodgers Could See More Action
The Falcons starting running back
Michael Turner has been limited all week in practice and is listed as
questionable for Sunday. Turner, who has remained relatively ineffective most
of the 2012 campaign, could lose some touches this week should he even play.
Back up Jacquizz Rodgers has slowly become more a part of the weekly game plan
averaging 9 touches a contest over the team’s last three games. Rodgers has
shown great productivity in his limited role averaging 65 yards of offense in
the same span. Rodgers season high for carries is 10, something we could very
well see him match against the Cardinals 23rd ranked run defense
with Turner ailing. Rodgers is a risky play in normal 10-team leagues, but in
deeper formats he could be a sneaky sleeper.
Murray
Doubtful for Sunday, Time for More Felix the Back
The Cowboys will likely not have the
services of running back DeMarco Murray on Sunday, opening the door for back up
Felix Jones. The Cowboys back up runner says he is feeling good and will have a
great opportunity to show just how much agains the Browns 26th
ranked run defense. Jones is averaging less than four yards per carry this
season and has scored just two rushing touchdowns in four starts this season.
The Browns are allowing 4.3 yards per carry and have allowed only 7 rushing
touchdowns this season, but they are giving up the 11th most fantasy
points to opposing running backs. Jones has a good matchup this week and looks
to be a good flex option in deeper formats.
Tom
Terrific Set to Shine on Sunday Once Again
With the emergence of a couple of
youngsters and the return of an old foe, quarterback Tom Brady has seemingly become
lost in the shuffle by normal standards. Despite the less press he’s been
receiving in fantasy circles and the regular media, Brady has been terrific in
2012; 18 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, 293 yards passing per game. With the
Colts up next, Brady looks set to shine once again. The Colts rank 15th
against the pass and allow the 13th most fantasy points to opposing
quarterbacks, numbers that figure to rise after Sunday’s tilt. Brady has also
been on fire as of late averaging 24 completions, 265 yards-plus passing per
game over his last three starts; he’s also tossed 8 touchdowns without an
interception. He’s a must start and facing a strong Colts passing game, Brady could
post some big numbers this week to set the pace.
