Comments:
- Hard to believe Austin Collie is a top 5 lock at this point. He’s turning into Manning’s Welker.
- Someone is going to have to score in the Pitt/Balt game. Hines Ward may be that guy.
- It’s tough to pick out Eddie Royal from Denver’s stable of suddenly good WRs. But Royal is tough and Denver will be throwing.
- I like Clayton’s match-up this week and I like St. Louis playing homesick Seattle.
- One of these days Louis Murphy is going to have a big day and Houston’s pass D sucks.
- One of these days Michael Crabtree is going to erupt for some stats – and SF will be throwing.
- Jennings and Driver will have stats this week.
Tight Ends
1. Finley
2. V Davis
3. D Clark
4. A Gates
5. Z Miller
6. C Cooley
7. T Gonzalez
8. A Hernandez
9. J Gresham
10. K Boss
Comments:
- I like Finley to finally get in the end zone this week.
- I also like Vernon Davis to be extra involved Sunday.
- For some reason I think McNabb will throw to his safe option in Cooley under pressure in Phil.
- A Hernandez will turn some heads in primetime Monday Night. He has RB moves that seem just odd for a TE. Talented.
- Kevin Boss may finally get on the board this weekend – Eli should be throwing to him more to spread and balance that offense.
Defense/Special Teams:
1. Packers
2. Steelers
3. Giants
4. Browns
5. Saints
6. Jets
7. Bills
8. Ravens
9. Eagles
10. Chargers
Comments:
- Packers’ D will play angry this week.
- Few would have faith enough in the Giants to put them this high. I don’t. I just think the Bears and Cutler are ready for a turnover fest.
- Putting the Browns this high may seem irresponsible. But they are due for a good performance, and coming home should help.
- The Bills this high? Don’t see the Jets scoring.
Kickers
1. Matt Bryant
2. Jeff Reed
3. Nate Kaeding
4. Mason Crosby
5. David Akers
6. Josh Brown
7. S Gostkowski
8. Phil Dawson
9. Rob Bironas
10. Lawrence Tynes
Comments:
- There could be a few games this weekend where kickers score points when their teams don’t score a ton: Dawson, Reed and possibly Akers and Brown.
