2006 Fantasy Football Week 15 theRUNDOWN

This Week’s Top Team: Do you hear it? Yeah, there it is, another HUGE week for Lucky in the fantasy realm is in the very near future. If I’m to top 157, I’ll have to do it without LT.

QB: Peyton Manning: To even give the Colts a chance to slip and slide out of their slump, it looks like Peyton must have a career day. One of those 5 touchdown, 300+ yard, Drew Brees type games.

RB: Frank Gore: Gore loves to torch Seattle, and Frank has been running like a man possessed lately (with exception of Week 13’s game). The Niners would love to oust the Hawks, so expect Coach Nolan to let Gore do what he does best. The Hawks don’t tackle well, and Gore runs very hard. That’s a good combo for Gore owners, bad for Seahawk fans.

RB: Rudi Johnson: I feel bad leaving LT out of this weeks top lineup, and I know owners won’t do such a thing, but I see Rudi playing more of a crucial role this week on MNF, and he’ll get a couple scores.

WR: Terrell Owens: One flew over the coo-coo’s nest, and I caught the son of a gun, it was Terrell freaking Owens. One of these days, this super talent will blow up the competition and put everyone’s questions about dropping passes to rest. It will be this week against the Falcons.

WR: Chad Johnson: Like Rudi, Chad will play a vital role in the Bengals upset over the Colts. I know it’s bad to take two guys on the same squad, but against a defense like the Colts, and on an offense like the Bengals, I have to do it.

TE: Antonio Gates: Best tight end in the league, and so, I’ll take him again. KC’s secondary can’t match-up with AG.

K: Jeff Wilkins: Jeff had his worst week every last week against the Bears, trying to lose my playoff game in fantasy football, but this week he’ll bounce back against Oakland. I see 3 or 4 field goals in his weekend future.

D: Bears: Against the Bucs, I can’t think of a better choice. The Ravens will also be quite dominate against Cleveland. But gotta go with the Bears.

LUCKY’S Week 15 SLEEPERS

Matt Hasselbeck: I like Matt against San Francisco. He’s been playing poorly, so you know the Niners will load up on the run. Matt will have plenty of chances to toss touchdown passes in this one.

Jay Cutler: Mr. Cutler will outperform his rookie quarterback competition this week when his Broncos go up against Matt Leinart and the Cardinals. This should be Jay’s best game as a pro.

Ahman Green: Green isn’t as old as many think, he’s still got the burners, expect him to get a chance to use them against the roarless Lions.

Maurice Drew: “Mo is the most explosive player on the Jaguars’ squad. He has to get more touches in the biggest game of Jacksonville’s season. Touches are all this youngster needs to show people what he’s all about.” Every game from here on out is extremely important for the Jags. Like last week, Mo will get his chance to make an impact. With this kid, a chance means production.

Javon Walker: Walker hasn’t benefited from Jay Cutler’s move to starter yet, but this week might be another story, as Shanahan has to be emphasizing getting his biggest offensive playmaker the ball.

Larry Fitzgerald: Finally healthy, Larry has been playing ball the last couple of weeks. Even against Champ Bailey and the Broncos, expect Larry to get his in front of the home crowd.

Vernon Davis: The Hawks have given up big plays all season long, and they don’t tackle well. Davis will take advantage of that, as he’s fast and strong.

St. Louis Rams DST: The Rams have been terrible defensively, but the Raiders are in town this weekend, and that means the Rams have a good chance to outscore most defenses in fantasy football.

LUCKY’S Week 15 Moss’S

Brad Johnson: This guy isn’t a good starting option. Don’t start him. I’d rather start Chris Weinke. What does that tell you?

Travis Henry: He’s been a solid performer for most of the season, but against the Jags, in a must win game for Jacksonville, I think Henry, and the rest of the Titans will struggle in Week 15.

Lee Evans: I know Lee can score from anywhere, but I think his chances will be limited this weekend. He can make me look bad in the blink of an eye, but with a run-heavy game plan, Lee won’t be a great start in week 15.

Randy Moss: Randy made me look good once again, he’ll be on this list until the Patriots trade for him next season.
