Week 14: Look out for…
December 8th, 2009 by Danny D.Like I said..the Saints..yeaa…keep them in you lineup.
WEATHER MAY CHANGE THE PIT-CLE. (29MPH winds, sub-30 degrees, 70% chance of snow). WHICH WOULD DOWNGRADE QBS AND WRS FOR BOTH TEAMS..MOST LIKELY UNSAFE AND UNPLAYABLE..AND SLIGHTLY UPGRADING MENDENHALL AND HARRISON. This is when you wish you had a Michael Vick on your team.
Jerome Harrison: The Steelers defense is nothing, NOTHING, without Troy. Look at what happened last week against OAK. So this week, with a lesser CLE team, I only like Harrison. Quinn and Massaquoi may have similar numbers to Gradikowski/Murphy, but I’m not going to the bank on that one.
Big Ben, Holmes, Wallace, Mendenhall: Remember, PIT still has a nice offense, it’s their defense that lacks in performance. Ward may be out this week, which only increases Holmes/Wallace values. Big Ben should be able to easily hook up with the two. Mendenhall,too, should be able to run over the CLE defense. Once again, I’m going to call for a close game.
Flacco and Rice: DET defense (32nd in the pass and over 110 rushing yards per game) is much different from the Packer defense(3rd in the pass, 4th in the rush) by far. Flacco and Ray Rice should have much better games than they did last week.
Green Bay: CHI has NO offense, so the Packer defense is an easy start. Rogers, Driver, and Grant should be solid starts. But it’s hard to determine who get the other chucks of yards- Jennings, Finley, Jones, and TD wise, Havner and Kuhn. I’d go Jennings and Jones, but it’s a very tough call.
Garrard and Sims-Walker: Taking on a MIA defense that allows 242.9 passing yards per game, it should be a rather simple game for the combo. Garrard is starting to heat up again, but why the heck is Sims-Walker such an up and down player! But I think that they’ll hook up this week and put up good numbers.
Henne: Similar to their own defense, JAXis poor in passing defense ( 242.1 passing yards per game). Chad dominated a NE defense and there is no reason why he shouldn’t do the same against a bad JAX defense. There will one WR with good numbers this week, I’ll go with Bess ( 10 receptions for 117 yards and a TD vs NE), followed by Hartline ( 4 receptions for 41 yards and a TD vs NE).
Thomas Jones: He’s taking on a very bad TB rushing defense ( 160.1 yards per game). Simply put, he is a very easy start.
Chris Johnson: Continues to put up over 100 yards every week and this week he is at home taking on a STL team that is being plagued with injuries. Atogwe is probably done for the season, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Vince Younghas a fantastic game, most likely hitting up Britt in the process.
Others: Alex Smith (vs ARI), Warner-Fitz-Boldin (@ SF), Shaub(if heatlthy) and Johnson ( vs SEA).
