theRUNDOWN Review: Week 10

Posted on by

167 for me this week, and that was with 11 points between my starting receiver and QB – so baiscally I killed it the rest of the way. But that wasn’t all, I was on fire with my sits and sleepers – I do work.

QB: Aaron Rodgers vs. Minnesota: Rodgers did take over for Brett’s disgusting Dome habits and didn’t do anything worth while on Sunday. His 5 fantasy points made me want to puke a little bit.

RB: Adrian Peterson vs. Green Bay: 31 fantasy points for AP – 2nd best amongst running backs, and it was his 192 yards with his team carefully sitting cross legged squarely on his shoulders that impressed me the most. Beast.

RB: Jamal Lewis vs. Denver: Jamal had 16 fantasy points, but I expected more. The Broncos did everything they could to stop the run.

FLEX: LaDainian Tomlinson vs. KC: Tomlinson had 14 fantasy points, but he didn’t have that good of a day. He had a low YPC average against the worst run defense in the league, and only scored decent points because of his receptions out of the backfield. Tough year to pick LT first overall, that’s for sure.

WR: Anquan Boldin vs. San Francisco: 2nd overall with 29 WR fantasy points. This guy catches touchdowns, he’s a beast, he’s fearless, and that says a lot for a guy with plates and jack in his face. Beast.

WR: Greg Jennings vs. Minnesota: 6 fantasy points for Greg, matching his QB, perfect… Ugh.

TE: Kellen Winslow vs. Denver: He may have dropped a late 4th down pass, and his fumble was huge, but if it weren’t for Winslow basically beasting Denver all night long, the Browns wouldn’t have been in that position – so there Chris Collinsworth- you dick. Winslow finished two points behind Tony Gonzalez as he tallied 31 fantasy points. NIce day for me.

K: Stephen Gostkowski vs. Buffalo: Only 8 fantasy points for Stephen, but that’s good enough for me.

D: Carolina Panthers vs. Oakland: 27 fantasy points and the 2nd best defense in the league (2nd to my sleeper pick, mind you) – so I basically did work this week.

PAPA’S Week 1 SLEEPERS

Tyler Thigpen: My new favorite players was 3rd overall for quarterbacks with 30 fantasy points. A+ and keep him on your roster folks.

Daunte Culpepper: 104 yards and a pick. No touchdown after leading his team down to the 1 yard line – Drew Stanton came in to throw the TD. Interesting. I was right and then wrong – what can you do? F

Maurice Jones Drew: The guy had 3 scores and 70 yards on 11 carries.  He also caught the rock. 2 RBs had better fantasy days than Drew’s 29 points, AP and Thomas Jones. A

Timothy Hightower: Shut down! 13 totes for 22 yards. Maybe he’s not the next Edge, eh? F

Mushin Muhammad: 12 fantasy points for Mush on a day where Jake Delhomme was about as bad as a QB can be. An early TD saved Mush’s day. Still, I expected more. B-

Mark Bradley: 23 fantasy points, 5th overall, for Mark freaking Bradley – I dig this kid. A

Billy Miller: 11 fantasy points as Billy hits double digits again – as a sleeper TE there might not be anybody better than Billy. B+

New York Jets: 47-3… I’m not even going to calculate the points, but the Jets did work. There were the best defense in the league this week though.  A

Papa’S Week 6 Splinter-Butts (bench him, son)

Big Ben Roethlisberger: Five points for Ben, and he was almost the high scorer on my Splinter-Butts section. I had a great week, better than Ben.

Bernard Berrian: BB didn’t do anything. NO catches or fantasy points or anything. Did I mention I lost my game by an overtime player? Did I also mention that Marvin would have won me that game? I get a great grade here, but a dumb above my fantasy move.

Steve Slaton: Slaton didn’t do anything – he wasn’t a top 50 running back last week. Good thing I let you know.

Marvin Harrison: You’re welcome – 6 fantasy points on a day where he dropped as many balls as he caught. Tough day for Marv – but he’ll bounce back… I think.

Five for Friday

You have the feeling? 

Is it a gut feeling or a stupid feeling? Maybe both?

Well, if you need some help starting or choosing a starter between two guys, I’m the one to help you out. This week I have 5 examples of reader emails that ask who would I rather start – these are my answers. 

1. Matt Schaub or Jay Cutler: Wow, that’s a tough one there but I’m going with Schaub. I don’t think the Broncos will have to score as much to win their game, and with Ryan Torrain in the game (or so I am fooled to believe he’ll be starting) I think Cutler will throw less. That being said, they are both great options with great physical receivers, can’t really lose here. 

2. Matt Forte or Chris Johnson: PPR this is an easy Matt Forte answer, even without PPR to help me out with 5 catches for Matt, I think I’m rocking Forte against the Lions. Clinton Portis put up a ton of yards against Detroit last week and he didn’t even play the whole time. Forte is the Bears rushing attack, and while Chris Johnson has a nice match-up against a suddenly porous Packer defense, he also has LenDale White thieving carries – Forte is all by himself in Detroit. 

3. Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall (I can start 2): I’m going with Andre and Brandon because they play mediocre to bad secondaries and they have studs throwing them the ball. Dan Orlovsky isn’t my favorite QB to be throwing the ball to my WR. That being said, I like Calvin this week too. 

4. Julius Jones, Cedric Benson, Jerious Norwood: Norwood and it isn’t really that close. PPR of course. If not, I guess I’d roll with Benson, though I wouldn’t like it. I think Norwood gets at least 4 catches and 6-10 carries against the Raiders – here breaks on and he’s well worth your time, even as a guaranteed back-up plan. 

5. Steve Slaton or Jamal Lewis: Jamal has been pretty good against the Ravens and Slaton is going to be busting his ace for 4 yards a carry against the Vikings defense. That being said I still think Slaton attacks the Vikings in the air a bit, and he’s pretty quick so he might do alright on the ground. I don’t see Jamal having much of a day against this particular Baltimore defense. 

Good luck penguins!
