FSH: THE FANTASY SPORTS ZONE (THE FOUR HORSEMEN)

November 5th, 2010 Friday


The Four Horsemen


Last season I picked four players each week that I believed would provide fantasy owners with a solid day of fantasy scoring. It’s not an exact science I follow, nor do I count on any genies staring into crystal balls, but for me it’s a lot of fun.

I am riding again, of course a little late in the season, but again its fun for me; so saddle up!



We Ride Again

Quarterback:
We always start with under center and while 2010 has not been the off the charts season many of us thought he would have, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been consistent just not great. Through the eight weeks Rodgers has thrown 12 touchdowns this season, but he has also tossed nine picks. This evening at home against the Cowboys could be his 2010 coming out party. In eight games this season he has only thrown more than two touchdowns just once; tonight could change that.
(my projections: 335 yards passing, three touchdowns)

Running Back:
In the backfield I will be saddling up with running back LeSean McCoy. After watching Texan’s quarterback Matt Schaub and running back Arian Foster hook up last week nine times against the Colts defense, I am expecting Eagle’s head coach Andy Reid to steal a few of those plays out of the Texan’s playbook. Foster also ripped through the Colts defense for over 100 yards, so McCoy could be looking at a big Sunday.
(my projections: 95 yards rushing, 45 yards receiving, one touchdown)

Wide Receiver:
Positioned out wide this week, I will be putting my fantasy chances in the hands of Giant’s receiver Steve Smith; Mr. Consistency. Smith has averaged 7 receptions for 87 yards in his last three starts, while adding two scores. He’s one of quarterback Eli Mannings most reliable and most often targeted options in the pass game. Against a struggling Seahawk secondary, he should be a must play for fantasy owners.
(my projections: 8 receptions, 105 yards receiving, one touchdown)

Tight end:
At the tight end spot, it’s a tough week with byes playing havoc as well as injuries depleting the position, but one play I am on board with is tight end Greg Olsen. The Bears tight end will be lining up against a Bills secondary that has allowed 7 touchdowns to the tight end position. Olsen is not a highly utilized option in the Bear’s pass game, but he should be solid today with at least one score.
(my projections: 5 receptions, 65 yards receiving, one touchdown)

FSH: MY WEEKLY SURVIVAL

November 4th, 2010, Thursday



My Weekly Survivors



Week 8 was another solid week for our fantasy team with huge performances from running back Jamaal Charles (23 fantasy points) and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd (22 fantasy points). Kyle Orton was again solid in week 8 as well with 369 yards passing and 18 yards rushing to go along with one touchdown toss. My duds last week were running back Felix Jones (36 total yards) and tight end Tony Moeaki (45 yards receiving). Both were disappointing, but not as much as the Cowboys were last week against the Jaguars.

For the week we tallied 82 points and held court at the number 8 spot in our overall standings. As we move into week nine the picks do not get any easier, but looking at some of this week’s matchups we could be looking to make another push or fall down the trail.

Here are my week nine picks….

QB-Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
After watching David Garrard light up the Cowboy’s secondary for four touchdowns passes, I am expecting a huge game from Packer’s quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Pack lack any consistency on the ground and they will more than likely follow the Jags blueprint to take down the visiting boys from Texas.
(Projected: 31 points/ 335 yards passing, three touchdowns)

RB-Benjarvus Green-Ellis, New England Patriots
The Patriots displayed a strong balanced attack last week against the Vikings and even showed a lot of grit with their new found ground game. Even though the Browns do boast a pretty good defense, I like “the firm” of Benjarvus Green-Ellis to grind out some yardage and at least grab one score.
(Projected: 16 points / 85 yards rushing, 20 yards receiving, one touchdown)

RB-LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles
The Texans exploited some soft coverage underneath Monday night against the Colts with their running backs and I think the Eagles will take advantage. McCoy is a versatile back that will be utilized in both the run and pass; I am looking for a big game for the Eagles runner.
(Projected: 19points/ 90 yards rushing, 45 yards receiving, one touchdown)

WR-Patrick Crayton, San Diego Chargers
The Charger’s are losing pass catchers left and right, and in week nine it looks like it will come down to Patrick Crayton. One of the team’s newest receivers Crayton is sure to see plenty of chances on Sunday against a very suspect Texan’s secondary.
(Projected: 16 points/ 105 yards receiving, one touchdown)

WR-Steve Smith, New York Giants
The Giants seem to be on a roll, winner’s of five straight and a big reason has been the balanced play of their offense. One of the keys to their pass game has been the sure hands of wide receiver Steve Smith. In his last three starts he has been heavily targeted connecting on 21 passes for 260 yards receiving and two touchdowns. With Hakeem Nicks blowing up on the other side, Smith will likely see more favorable matchups and coverage going forward; result another big Sunday.
(Projected: 16 points/ 105 yards receiving, one touchdown)

TE-Jacob Tamme, Indianapolis Colts
He was a secret entering Monday night’s matchup against the Texans, but this week he’s sure to become another household name in Indianapolis. Tight end Jacob Tamme likely won’t see nearly as many balls in his direction (if the defense has learned anything), but you can bet quarterback Peyton Manning will find him when he needs to.
(Projected: 11 points/ 55 yards receiving, one touchdown)

K –Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers
The Cowboys defense looked pretty awful last week against the Jaguars and there’s little reason to expect any improvements this week. With the Packers struggling some on the ground they may have to settle for a couple of kicks instead of touchdowns on Sunday.
(Projected: 12 points/ three field goals, three extra points)

FSH: THE FANTASY SPORTS ZONE (TARGET PRACTICE)

December 23rd, 2009 10:45pm PST

Fantasy Football
Target Practice

"Fantasy Football is like nuclear warfare, there are no winners, only survivors." ~Frank Gifford meant pro football, but that was before he played fantasy.

"Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but size of the fight in the dog and a good draft position always helps." ~okay, not quite what he said, but it's applicable here.

"When it comes to winning fantasy football, a lot of good luck can help too"~some lucky fantasy owner who will win a fantasy league he had no business winning.

In these hands we trust


When you are setting your line-up, your survival this weekend won't have to rely on any luck if you know in whose hands to trust. Over the course of the season there are the constant, those that are regularly targeted and then there are the "hot hands."

Players like Wes Welker and Andre Johnson continue to top the board with the most targets this season, but fantasy owners need to take note of players like Deion Branch, Dwayne Bowe, Devin Aromashodu, and Greg Camarillo who each had 10 targets last Sunday. A couple of other players that could play into bigger roles this week would include the wide receiver Malcom Floyd (17 targets), tight end Jermichael Finley (17 targets), and tight end Heath Miller, who have seen more action the past two Sundays.

Before you make your decisions make sure you know what you have and what is what;

"The Hot Hands"
(last two games)

Brandon Marshall (Broncos)-
37 targets/ 28 receptions, 273 yards, 3-Tds.
Andre Johnson (Texans)-
26 targets/ 20 receptions, 389 yards, 2-Tds.
Miles Austin (Cowboys)-
21 targets/ 13 receptions, 210 yards, 2-Tds.
Santonio Holmes (Steelers)-
21 targets/ 9 receptions, 170 yards, 0-Tds.
Heath Miller (Steelers)-
19 targets/ 12 receptions, 177 yards, 0-Td.
Jermichael Finley (Packers)-
17 targets/ 14 receptions, 144 yards, 1-Td.
Chris Chambers (Chiefs)-
14 targets/ 9 receptions, 164 yards, 1-Td.

It is worth mentioning that if you are looking for the hot hands, fantasy owners should also note those that have cooled a bit. Last Sunday Pierre Garcon (Colts), Kenny Britt (Titans), and Terrell Owens (Bills) who each were targeted just twice.

Don't forget to keep these player names and numbers in mind when putting the final touches on your Week 16 lineups.


What have you done for me lately

Saturday Morning Sports Page
[afternoon edition]

NFL Week 5 Matchups

(Sunday’s Games)
Cinncinati @ Baltimore
The Bengal’s quarterback Carson Palmer (845 yards passing) and wide receiver Chad Ochocino (3 touchdowns receptions) will try to connect often this Sunday at Baltimore. The Raven’s 23rd ranked pass defense which has allowed 15 plays of 20 yards or more could have their hands full, if they don’t cut down the big plays.

Cleveland @ Buffalo
The Bills 25th ranked passing offense (180 yards per game) which has often looked in reverse committing turnovers (five in 2009) and miscues will try to get healthy Sunday. The Brown’s defense ranks 21st against the pass, recording seven sacks this season, but just one interception.

Washington @ Carolina
The Panther’s running back DeAngelo Williams is off to a very slow start this season with only 180 yards on the ground. The Redskins 22nd ranked run defense has been less than stellar this season allowing 4.3 yards per carry and 128 yard per game

Pittsburgh @ Detroit
The Steelers’ passing game has thrived this season led by quarterback Ben Roethliseberger, who has completed over 70 percent of his passes and averaged nearly 300 yards passing per game. The Lion’s secondary will be facing an uphill task on Sunday ranked 25th against the pass and having allowed 12 touchdown via the pass this season.

Dallas @ Kansas City
The Cowboys may look to lean on quarterback Tony Romo who has averaged 247 yards passing this season, but has only four touchdown passes. The Chiefs pass defense ranks 28th against the pass this season allowing eight touchdowns and 250 yards per game.

Oakland @ NY Giants
The Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has yet to have a big game this season, but is averagine 92 yards on the ground his last two starts. The Raider’s 26th ranked run defense could be in for a long day allowing 146 yards rushing per game.

Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia
The Buccaneer’s offensive line has done a pretty good job this season protecting the quarterback only allowing five sacks in the team’s first four games. In 2009 the Eagles defense has not been quite as dominant as the past, but in three games their defense has recorded 10 sacks and six interceptions.

Minnesota @ St.Louis
The Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has 84 carries this season for 412 yards rushing. The Rams 24th ranked run defense has been awful this season allowing 135 yards on the ground per game.

Atlanta @ San Francisco
The Falcons running back Michael Turner has 226 yards on the ground with two rushing touchdown on 65 carries in three games this season. Heading into Sunday’s matchup the Niner’s run defense ranks 4th in the league and is only allowing 3.1 yards per carry.

Houston @ Arizona
The Cardinal’s quarterback Kurt Warner (4 touchdowns) and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (17 receptions) have yet to really click this season. The Texans will bring the leagues 9th ranked pass defense into the desert with only two interceptions and five sacks this season.

New England @ Denver
The Bronco’s rookie running back Knowshow Moreno has 249 yards rushing (ranks 16 in rushing) this season. The Patriots have played pretty good defense this season (ranked 11th against the run), but they have seen the 4th fewest attempts this season and allowed 4.5 yard per clip.

Jacksonville @ Seattle
Over the past two weeks Jaguar’s quarterback David Garrard has completed nearly 68 percent of his passes while throwing for 537 yards with four touchdowns (3 pass, 1 run). The Seahawks defense has been able to get some pressure this season with nine sacks, but their coverage has been suspect allowing nearly 68 percent completions.

Indianapolis @ Tennessee
The Colt’s quarterback Peyton Manning has been on a tear averaging 334 yards passing per game. The Titan’s banged up secondary needs to get healthy soon, through the first four weeks it has allowed 10 passing touchdowns and 15 plays of 20 yards or more.

FSH: FRIDAY FOOTBALL DIARY

October 9th, 2009 11:07pm PST

Friday Football Diary

Dear Diary

Not only did we see a 40 year old turn back the clock this past Monday night, but we also saw greatness shine one more time. Was it his coming out party for 2009 or just vintage Favre being the legendary quarterback that he’s become? Either way Monday night Brett Favre not only recaptured some of his youth with some fantastic throws, but he also set an NFL record with his win over the Packers (his former team). In his illustrious career, Favre has now not only faced every team in the league he has also defeated every one of them (a NFL record).

And just as we watched one player take a dip into the fountain of youth, on Sunday we saw another come of age and one get a large does of reality. The Giant’s receiver Steve Smith sure seems to have really blossomed into something special this season, with 34 receptions and 411 receiving yards to lead the league. He has reached that pivotal third season and appears to be flourishing on schedule out of the shadow of Plaxico Burress.

The Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez has been sensational this season, leading his team to a fast start at 3-0, but in week four he got a large does of reality. Now he didn’t really think it would be that easy. Last Sunday against the Saints, he was pressured (sacked four times), confused (3 of 12 on third down), and forced into making mistakes (four turnovers). Fantasy owners must remember he’s only a rookie, but he will learn and get better.

Sanchez may not appear to be the safest fantasy play these days, but he’s got plenty of upside and has already shown great poise. Fantasy owners needn’t worry about this kid bouncing back he’s got plenty of resolve just give him time.

Now on the other hand take a look a some players that may not be the best plays at the moment;

On Shaky Ground

Slow starts, struggles to get out of the gate, and not finding their rhythm early this season may have some fantasy owners sweating it out;

Questionable Plays for the moment:

QB-Mark Sanchez………..…….only 4 TD passes and five Ints.
RB-Jamal Lewis…..…95 yards rushing, just one touchdown.
RB-LaDanian Tomlinson….….70 yards rushing this season.
RB-Laurence Maroney………..78 yards rushing this season.
WR-Eddie Royal……………….……..just 8 receptions in 2009.
WR-Donnie Avery…….…..just 109 receiving yards in 2009.
WR-Dwayne Bowe………..just 107 receiving yards in 2009.
WR-Chris Henry……....just 78 yards receiving this season.
TE-Tony Scheffler…...just 71 yards receiving this season.
TE-Anthony Fasano….…just 4 catches, 18 yards in 2009.

10 Things to Watch for in Week 5

Here’s what I will be watching this Sunday afternoon and keeping my eyes on throughout the day;

  1. Will Terrell Owens (just 8 receptions) finally breakout against a questionable Cleveland secondary?2
  2. Can Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco get the passing game going this week against the Raven’s 23rd ranked pass defense?
  3. Will Earth (Jacobs) and Fire (Bradshaw) run for big yardage on Sunday against the Raider’s 26th ranked run defense?
  4. Can “Kid Sensation” (Mark Sanchez) rebound Monday night with a solid performance on the road at Miami?
  5. Which stud receiver will have the bigger game this Sunday, Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald?
  6. How will Bronco’s rookie running back Knowshon Moreno do Sunday against the Patriots in his first NFL start?
  7. Can Colts quarterback Peyton Manning keep up his torrid passing pace on the road this week against the Titans?
  8. Can Mike Singletary and his improved Niners continue their solid play this Sunday against the Falcons?
  9. Will the Vikings running back Adrian Peterson run for over 200 yards this week against the Ram’s 24th ranked run defense?
  10. How will Eagle’s quarterback Donovan McNabb and running Brian Westbrook do now that they are healthy enough to return to the lineup?

FSH: WATERCOOLER CHAT

September 23rd, 2009 10:15pm PST

WATERCOOLER CHAT

The Weekly Wavier Wire
Wayne "The Wire" Bosco
(Courtesy of the Fantasy Football Gang)
Now that we have two weeks of NFL action in the books we can make a better read on who is managing to get their jerseys a little more dirty from week to week. According to our pal Wayne here are a few of week three's best waiver wire options;

Week Three

With Marion “the Barbarian” Barber ailing on the Cowboys sidelines, it sounds very possible he could miss action this week. Although he is practicing, back up running back Tashard Choice becomes an interesting and valuable option. If you have room on your roster, this kid could be the goods once he gets on the field. Don’t expect the Cowboys to rush Barber back out too quickly, if he sits Tashard is a great waiver wire choice this week.

The Steelers’s back up running back Rashard Mendenhall is climbing the stock charts this week with Fast Willie Parker still running in first gear. With the team looking to get the running game out of the gates, Mendenhall could see quite a few more carries in week 3. With the Steelers facing the Bengals this week, it could be a great opportunity for Mendenhall to make a little noise.

After two weeks working Josh McDaniels passer friendly offense, quarterback Kyle Orton is not exactly tearing down the house, but he has become more than just a serviceable fantasy QB2. Orton has passed for more than 500-yards and thrown two touchdowns. With a big time receiver like Brandon Marshall we know his touchdowns will increase, but at a pace to pass for 4,000-yards Orton is a steal off the wire.

With the great Wes Welker getting close to returning, don’t expect to hear a whole lot more of wide receiver Julian Edleman (ankle). The one game wonder is likely to take a back seat to the emerging Joey Galloway. When Welker does return, Galloway figures to be the non-starting mainstay in the offense and his five receptions in week 2 could be an indication of his growing involvement. The Patriots offense is typically a highly productive unit and Galloway looks like a solid candidate to benefit.

Another appealing option at the receiver spot is the Chicago Bear’s Johnny Knox. In only two short weeks we have already seen this kid can fly, but the chemistry he is quickly developing with his big arm quarterback is just the beginning of great things to come. He’s looked good so far and will get better, grab him if you can.


“Wayne’s Word”

If your roster is lacking quality depth or is weak at the receiver spot, two options fantasy owners need to jump on are; Steve (no the other one) Smith-NYG and Laurent Robinson-STL. In two games this season, both relatively unknown fantasy receivers have emerged as reliable pass receiving options in their respective offenses. Both look to be the odds on favorites to lead the clubs in receiving and could very well turn out to be PPR gold.

Playing the Fantasy GM

Don-Pietro "The GM" Zamboni

What do you do with these guys?
Always the growing concern of any fantasy GM, what do I do with my high pick when he’s not producing or I know his production is about to take a serious hit. It’s never an easy decision or easy balance, but there are always options. So what do you do with the LT’s, the Matt Forte’s, and the Laveranues Cole’s; let’s take a look;

The GM Game
Owners that drafted San Diego Charger LaDanian Tomlinson could be facing the toughest dilemma of all. In recent years while LT has produced (just not to his level), he has often come at a high cost. With the former NFL MVP sidelined and not practicing, what good will he do on your bench another week. His value has dropped, but it’s still early enough in the season for you to get something for him. Trade him now (but get good value) and avoid the headache.

Unlike the LT dilemma, Matt Forte’s 117-yards of offense and zero touchdowns are nothing to panic about just yet. He’s got a new quarterback and both are still feeling each other out and trying to find balance on offense. Fantasy owners need to exercise self-control and extreme patience. The good sign, Forte has 38 carries in two games and in week 2 he caught five balls. He will be involved in the offense and eventually produce.

The same can be said of Bengal’s wide receiver Chris Henry. Through two games the lanky wideout has just two receptions, but does have a touchdown. Quarterback Carson Palmer is still working his way back to his old form. As he gets better, so will his awareness and with Henry standing at 6’4” Palmer will find him. Henry is not an every week starter just yet, so patience again will be the key.

The same can’t be said for wide receivers Laveranues Coles and Lance Moore. Coles is really struggling this season in his new home with just three catches. His last two seasons in New York were average at best and after nine seasons in the NFL it appears his best days could be well behind him. Last season Moore emerged as a favorite in the Saints offense, but he’s been slow to heal with recent injuries and Colston’s healthy return has not helped. If you are carrying these two, you might need to check out this week’s waiver wire. Lastly in this addition of the GM game, running back Correll Buckhalter appears to be running on borrowed time. With Knowshon Moreno’s healthy return in week 2, Buck could be looking at his workload being lightened soon. Moreno appears to be the favorite in Denver, so it could be time to shelve Buck or if you didn’t draft the rookie trade Buckhalter to the guy who did. Everyone loves handcuffs.
