Tuesday: Recap
Browns 29-/Bills 27- Braylon Edwards (10) seems to
be focused again while Lewis (6), Winslow (4) & Quinn
(6) underachieved. Jerome Harrison (16) made the most
from 4 touches. Marshawn Lynch (22) has 33 touches &
was outstanding. Edwards (12) had a rushing TD to avert
another fantasy disaster. Lee Evans (0) was shutout. The
Bills (0) defense disappointed.
Notes from the Edge:
Matt Cassel continues to improve and has a solid matchup
on Sunday vs. the Dolphins.
Thomas Jones will come back to earth against the Titans.
Peyton Hillis had a memorable start at tailback but will be
relegated to goal line touches when Selvin Young returns
and Tatum Bell gets up to speed.
Michael Jenkins performances may stagnate as opposing
defenses mark him.
Joseph Addai is back in stride leaving Dominic Rhodes
with the crumbs.
Marvin Harrison displayed flashes of his former brilliance.
He faces another good opponent in the Chargers.
Steve Slaton is dynamite when the matchup is favorable
but will yield at the goal line to Ahman Green. He faces
a Cleveland run defense which yields a generous 4.7 ypc.
Please drop the "Edge" a line if you locate Owen Daniels.
Actually he's likely to emerge this week vs. the Browns.
Ted Ginn Jr. is a veritable yo-yo. The ups & downs make
him a risky play as a #3. He has a soft Patriots backline
upcoming which has yielded 7.2 ypa and 16 aerial TD's.
The Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams combo is tough to
sort out week over week and should be avoided if possible.
Justin Fargas is a good back & playable vs. the Broncos.
Darren McFadden may also be usable but only if he has
at least a full practice on Thursday or Friday.
Ronald Curry is out of the doghouse & would be a fair #3
if Champ Bailey is still sidelined.
Only an injury could stop Brandon Jacobs. He bruised a
knee against the Ravens.
Plaxico Burress may actually have a decent game vs. the
Cards.
Willis McGahee twisted an ankle. Ray Rice is a nice add
although he would have a tough start vs. the Eagles.
Joe Flacco continues to play well & can be added for depth
at QB but is not likely to fare well vs. Philadelphia.
D'Angelo Williams has become a must start & has another
soft touch in the Falcons which allow a staggering 4.9 ypc.
Jake Delhomme seems to have lost his way. Unfortunately
he's taken Steve Smith with him.
Daunte Culpepper has good matchups in weeks 14 & 16.
He's serviceable if your starter at QB has a tough opponent
in either of those weeks.
Kevin Smith has become a playable #2 RB but the Bucs
loom on the horizon and sport a solid run defense that has
allowed only 1 rushing TD all season.
Donovan McNabb spoke out about the team stepping up
to meet the upcoming challenges then proceeded to play
an awful game. What ever happened to leading by example.
Brian Westbrook is simply not himself. He claims to be
fine but is more likely dealing with various injuries.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh had a coming out party against
a very good Eagles secondary. He's a must play the rest
of the way.
Cedric Benson had 29 touches vs. Philadelphia. He's
playable in the right situation but not vs. the Steelers.
Ryan Grant has turned the corner as he overwhelmed a
solid Bears interior defense.
Kyle Orton is likely to have a bounce back outing vs. the
Rams.
Devin Hester has completely fallen from grace as he was
replaced on kickoff returns in the 4th quarter by Danieal
Manning. He'll probably get this job back but should not
be on any rosters.
Pierre Thomas was featured vs. the Chiefs indicating
that the Saints are anticipating that Deuce McAllister
will be suspended. Reggie Bush should return this week
but Thomas has value as a #2 RB when the opponent is
favorable. He's a reasonable play vs. the Packers.
Larry Johnson's return to action was disappointing as he
was unable to score at the goal line on 2 separate drives.
With that said, he was featured and needed this game to
get in shape. He has a good test vs. a solid Bills defense
which only allows 3.7 ypc.
Tyler Thigpen may have secured the Chiefs QB gig
even after Brodie Croyle returns to action. Dwayne
Bowe has been the primary beneficiary of Thigpen's
emergence at the position.
Jeff Garcia is frenetic on the field but serviceable. The
hapless Lions are next on the list.
Earnest Graham may be done for the season with an
ankle injury. Warrick Dunn gets a solid upgrade to a
#2 vs. Detroit. Cadillac Williams might even get a
tote or 2.
Joey Galloway has lost his job to Antonio Bryant &
holds no value.
Gus Frerotte is playable vs. the Jaguars but should
not be a first option.
Shaun Hill has been charged with Rams abuse. He's
likely to have the tables turned vs. the Cowboys.
Isaac Bruce has been minimized in the Martz offense.
Bryant Johnson or a healthy Josh Morgan are better
49ers receiver options.
Marc Bulger, Torry Holt and Donnie Avery are hit
and miss but mostly miss. All of these guys are starts
of last resort.
Antonio Pittman was impressive filling in for Steven
Jackson against a solid 49ers run defense. He's likely
to start again vs. the Bears & is not a preferred play.
Tim Hightower owners have to be disappointed & are
likely to be underwhelmed again as he faces the Giants.
Matt Hasselbeck may have suffered a concussion in
the Cardinals game. He'll need all of his faculties vs
the Redskins.
Deion Branch returned to action successfully & built
immediate rapport with Hasselbeck. The Redskins
are stingy in the secondary which will impact Deion's
production. He has great matchups in week 15 and 16
vs. the Rams and Jets.
Kerry Collins had another great day of throwing the
football connecting with Justin Gage on 2 scores. The
Titans are going to be hard to beat if that continues.
David Garrard felt the wrath of a tenacious Titans
defense. He'll bounceback against the Vikings.
Willie Parker was rock solid with the ball rendering
Mewelde Moore virtually useless. If Parker comes
out of this game healthy Moore becomes expendable,
if you need help elsewhere.
Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates, Chris Chambers &
Vincent Jackson would agree that the Steelers pass
defense is awesome.
Tony Romo really needed Sunday night's game to
get back up to speed. He's likely to return to form vs.
the 49ers which have allowed 15 passing TD's.
Terrell Owens is likely to benefit the most from the
return of Romo. Keep Owens active.
Clinton Portis ran with abandon vs. the Cowboys.
So much for all the rhetoric that had Portis out with
a serious knee issue.
Jason Campbell has been underachieving of late
but may rise to prominence against the Seahawks.
