The No Huddle Episode 12-05

Imagination Mover Smitty was on the show this week. 

First off--- BYES: Dallas, Detroit, Oakland, and Tampa Bay. This should not hurt anyone too much, as all of these teams are having issues. The Colts and Steelers are back after a week off. This bodes well for the former, and is pretty good for the latter. Indianapolis, however, hosts Green Bay.

Smitty helped breakdown the situation in New Orleans, where fans like him are about ready to have a breakdown. A lot of talent there, so if you have a Saint or two, don’t panic. In fact, as Smitty points out, their suspect defense means the offense has to generate more numbers. Great for fantasy, worrisome for Saints fans.

Don’t forget to look at the NFL team stats page. Simply find the team your player is opposing in their category (rushing, passing) and see how that match-up looks against the other player you’re considering.

Also, check your league’s tools. I just discovered a neat one in Yahoo! I have no idea how long it has been available, but you can see how players at certain positions have performed against a certain team. For example, if you have New England RB Danny Woodhead, who is playing against Denver this week, you can look and see how the running backs that have previously faced the Broncos have fared. Very handy indeed. It pays to poke around.

WR Danny Amendola is out.

We may have a committee in New York. The Giants will use both Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown at RB, and favor whoever is running better in a particular game.

As always, double-check the official injury report at NFL.com 30 minutes prior to the start of the game your player is in.
