Tim Harmsotn was
our guest on this week’s show. He correctly
predicted big things for TE Marcellus Bennett of the New York Giants who had 4
catches for 40 yards and a score.
As for the rest of the games, there are a lot of lopsided
contests in week 1. However, your strategy for this week is pretty simple:
start your starters. You drafted them in that order for a reason, right? If you
have a situation where it’s a toss-up, go with the stronger match-up obviously.
For example, Philadelphia at Cleveland , you would start all Eagles (plus
the D/ST) and no Browns. I wouldn’t even start K Phil Dawson quite frankly. Trent
Richardson at RB? He’s coming off an injury, and is playing against savage
defense. If healthy he will get most of the touches, but if you have a better
option use it.
Watch the Seattle at Arizona game closely. QB
John Skelton is the Cardinal’s
starter, but is owned by only 5% of teams in Yahoo! The talent around him could
give him a lift, but the opposite is being forecast by the experts. Boomer
Esiason during Wednesday night’s radio broadcast of the Giants/Cowboys game
mentioned that WR Larry Fitzgerald’s
numbers will suffer with Skelton at the helm. So, here’s another tip. Keep an
eye on highly touted back-up Matt Flynn.
Pretty easy, for week 1. If you can, go to the NFL’s website around 12:30 EDT to see who is
out for the 1:00 games, and again at 3:30 and 7:30. Some of you may have
drafted a Ben Tate, or a Ronnie Brown (though he actually plays
Monday night) and are waiting to see if starters Arian Foster or Ryan Mathews
will play. At this point Mathews is
out, but the NFL website is really the best resource for injury reports.
