The return of Costaki on the podcast! He had some insight, as well some great jokes. As you may know, he does the NFL Review segment for the Bob & Tom Radio Show, as well as for a few other stations around the country.
Your byes this week:
Packers, Saints, Raiders, Chargers
As promised, the round-up appears here in the blog.
Tennessee at Miami. Here are two offenses heading in opposite directions. The debut of Randy Moss in Titan blue should help stretch defenses, and take some pressure off of RB Chris Brown. Miami looks set to go with the streaky Chad Pennington. Be weary.
New York Jets at Cleveland. Yet another tough test for the steadily improving Browns. Look for lots of running from both squads, and a low scoring game.
Cincinnati at Indianapolis. If QB Carson Palmer could get his throwing motion straightened out you could see a track meet like the Bengals found themselves in in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Indy’s D is soft on the run, so RB Ced Benson could be a wise start.
Houston at Jacksonville. The Jags found their offense in Dallas two weeks ago, and now face a poor pass defense at home with the Texans. Seems too good to be true given the Jags ups and downs.
Minnesota at Chicago. Brett Favre says he’ll play, but how much more can he take, especially in this division game? Well, if anyone can…Jay Cutler is an ok start at QB if the byes have left you thin.
Carolina at Tampa Bay. The Bucs may have lost in the A-T-L, but they now face a terrible Panther team. It’s a home game for Tampa, which can only improve their numbers. Good week for your Bucs.
Detroit at Buffalo. Battle of the underachievers. Both clubs are headed in the right direction, which sadly, isn’t producing wins. Fantasy-wise, players on both teams are trending upwards, and both defenses are shaky.
KC at Denver. The Chiefs keep on doing it, but without great fantasy numbers. The Broncos are a mess.
Dallas at New York Giants. Start all Giants. WR Miles Austin and TE Jason Witten for Dallas, and that’s about it.
Seattle at Arizona. Another feast or famine contest. The usual suspects are good to start, like WR Larry Fitzgerald, but most other players on both teams are a huge question mark.
St. Louis at San Francisco. Al Madrigal said last week his 40ers would rally ‘round QB Troy Smith, and would turn things around. St. Louis has some attractive options, beyond the obvious RB Steven Jackson.
New England at Pittsburgh. Benching Tom Brady may have worked out foe me, as I can’t see him putting up the numbers Atlanta’s Matt Ryan did Thursday (my other QB). But it is Tom Brady, and he did put up a respectable amount of points in that debacle at Cleveland last week. The Steelers offense seems to have gelled. The D of course is a must start.
Philadelphia at Washington. Are the Redskins in turmoil, and how does that affect the numbers? And does Mike Vick drag down the numbers of RB LeSean McCoy. Not necessarily. McCoy has been a great safety valve when the pressure is on.
