WEEK 15: FINDING HOPE
For some
of us this week is our fantasy football semifinals and if you had any players
go in Thursday night’s matchup between the Chargers and Broncos, then you
too are likely in desperation mode looking for hope on Sunday.
Ogbonnaya Versus the Bears defense
With
running back Willis McGahee
(concussion) OUT today, hope could come in the form of Chris Ogbonnaya. The Browns back-up will get the start today and will
face a Bears defense that allows the third most fantasy points to opposing
running backs. The Bears have also allowed a 100-yard rusher in six straight
outings. The stars could be aligning for Ogbonnaya to have a big Sunday and
bring hope to fantasy owners that need points.
Patterson versus the Eagles defense
The
Vikings will be without Adrian Peterson
today and no Toby Gerhart. The
offense is going to have to generate yards and points from other sources. With
the running game all but shelved today, I expect to see the Vikings get their
explosive rookie Cordarrelle Patterson
involved early and often. The Eagles defense allows the most fantasy points to
opposing receivers and good things happen when Patterson touches the ball; his
line last week 5 receptions for 141 yards and a score. Today’s matchup is a good one for the Vikings to really feature their
yards-after-the-catch beast.
This is my
take for Week 15.
