Fantasy Headlines
Dougie Keeps Getting Down
The
Buccaneers running back Doug Martin was at it again, breaking tackles and busting
off long runs for scores. On Sunday against the Raiders Martin broke loose for
251 yards rushing and four touchdowns; just an awesome performance. Martin is
quickly turning into a fantasy owner’s dream come true with big Sundays
becoming a regular occurrence. Martin is a must play every week from here on.
The Steelers Ground Game Keeps Rolling
It
looks as those it doesn’t matter who the Steelers line up in their backfield,
their line offensive line just gets the job done. With the backfield ailing the
Steelers turned to running back Issac Redman against the Giant and the
offensive line registered their third consecutive game with a 100-yard rusher. Fantasy
owners are going to have to pay attention to who starts and who is healthy when
choosing one of the three-headed monster (Redman, Dwyer, & Mendenhall).
Luck Keeps Playing Chuck Strong
The Colts rookie quarterback Andrew
Luck is having an amazing run this season and on Sunday he continued his magic
with a 433 yard passing effort and a win. The Colts are playing inspired ball this
season and Luck is leading the way with his great play; 2,404 yards passing and
a team record of 5-3. If Luck continues at this rate, fantasy owners in deeper
leagues will find it difficult to keep him on their bench. With favorable
matchups he definitely warrants consideration from week-to-week.
McFadden is a McBust
Fantasy
owners must be gnawing at the bit filled with frustration with the inconsistent
play of Raiders running back Darren McFadden. Run-DMC has hardly been the
fantasy factor owners were counting on this season with just one 100-yard
rushing game in his last five starts. His injury and early exit this past
Sunday just adds to the frustration for owners. McFadden has not been ruled out
for week 10, but given his recent poor play he hardly looks like an attractive
option for Sunday.
All Day is All World
Even
coming off a major injury, the Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is still
All-World. Peterson broke free for 182 yards rushing on 17 carries; an
impressive 10.7 yards per carry. Peterson just gashed the Seahawks defense for
big run after big run. He’s certainly shown fantasy owners there’s no reason
for concern regarding his injury from last season. Peterson is a monster and must
start regardless of who he faces.
Cobb Stays Hot, Scores Twice
The
Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb continued his hot hand with a pair of scores
on Sunday against the Cardinals. Cobb now leads the team with 45 receptions and
6 touchdowns. He’s an every week start (as a solid flex or low end WR2 in
deeper leagues) when the Packers return from their bye in week 11.
