Week 11 Waiver Adds

By Mike Cannici

QB’s

Matt Cassel- Cassel has now strung together 5 straight weeks where he has scored at least 13 fantasy points, including his 38 pt effort this past Sunday against the Broncos. They were down by a ton in the first half, which forced him to air it out, but he definitely has some fantasy value and is not a bad option to have on your bench.
Troy Smith- The former Raven QB now looks to have found a home in San Fran. Smith was given the opportunity to start back in week 8 against the Broncos and has now led the Niners to two straight victories. Smith tallied 356 passing yards and threw a TD pass. More than anything with Smith is his ability to keep plays alive with his legs and contrary to popular belief, he has not knocked down any value to Gore, V. Davis or Crabtree while he’s been under center. He’s a great buy in 2 QB leagues and not a terrible back up option especially with the Bucs, Cardinals, Packers and Seahawks on tap the next four weeks.

Others to Consider: Jon Kitna, Tyler Thigpen

RB’s

Fred Jackson- Jackson is a player who should already be owned following the trade of Marshawn Lynch, but in some shallower league’s he’s a great pick up this week with the injury to rookie CJ Spiller who will be out indefinitely. Jackson lit up the Lions defense(which is much improved) for 170 total yards and two touchdowns. He is now “the guy” in Buffalo and can provide low end RB2 value in PPR leagues and flex starter value in standard leagues. Go out and grab him ASAP if he is still available.
Keiland Williams- Williams was a hot waiver add the past two weeks after Ryan Torain suffered an injury, however during preparation for this week’s game against the Eagles, all signs pointed towards Torain starting, therefore many fantasy owners who grabbed Williams, didn’t end up using him. Torain was a last minute scratch from the starting lineup, but was active. Williams drew the start and didn’t show a great burst of speed, he did pass block very well and got open in the flat and led the team with 4 catches for 50 yards and a score. He also ran the ball 16 times for 89 yards and two scores, including a late 32 yard scamper in which he put on a few moves and used a little bit of his speed to get into the end zone. He’s a guy that if you picked up last week, keep stashed and if he’s available you want to get, especially with Torain and Portis injury history, which could provide some big time value going forward, especially in PPR leagues.
Jerome Harrison- Harrison will likely not be used like he was Monday night except for big time blow outs, but last night we saw the promise he showed us at the end of last year in Cleveland. He is no doubt, McCoy’s backup and would have some good value if McCoy were to go down. He’s a good speculative add especially for McCoy owners and the way he ran last night he could produce solid RB2 numbers going forward. He’s someone to definitely keep an eye on at the very least, and someone to grab in 14 team or deeper leagues immediately.
Bernard Scott- Scott may have some increased value going forward with Cedric Benson being quite ineffective averaging less than 4 yards per carry. Benson also seemed to have injured his ankle during Sunday’s game and we’ll find out more as the week progresses. Scott makes for a great speculative add though for all 12 team and deeper leagues just in case Benson is to miss time especially with the Bills worst run defense on deck for week 11.

Other to Consider: Mewelde Moore, Kevin Smith

WR’s
Early Doucet- Doucet is a guy I touted back in preseason as a breakout candidate but got hurt during week one, then preceded to miss the next four games five weeks with an injury. He came back in week 7 and didn’t post up great numbers either but finally got it going during week 10 matchup with the Seahawks, totaling 71 yards on six catches and a score. Derek Anderson isn’t the greatest or most accurate QB in the league but he can fling the ball and Doucet can be a big beneficiary of that. He’s my top receiver add this week and has WR3 upside going forward.
Mario Manningham- He was widely owned early in the season but then put up a few goose eggs followed by a few good games in a row after that. He has been somewhat inconsistent, but with Steve Smith out until early December with a torn pectoral muscle, Manningham steps into the starting lineup and has some big time upside. He posted a 10 catch 90 yard, 1 touchdown performance Sunday against Dallas and should be the major beneficiary to Hakeem Nicks double coverage. He’s likely owned in more leagues than Doucet is therefore my reasoning for Doucet being my number one target, but if M.M. is available in your league he’s my number one target.
Brian Hartline- Hartline is starting to heat up with three straight double digit fantasy weeks and with Tyler Thigpen becoming the starter, that should mean the Dolphin Offense will be much more receiver friendly. He’s had at least three catches in every game and at least 50 yards receiving in 5 out of his 8 games he’s played. With Thigpen under center, I believe there will be plenty of balls to go around to Marshall, Hartline and Bess. Hartline has some solid upside and is worth a look in all 14 team leagues and another solid week like last week he’s worth a look in shallower leagues as well.
Jason Avant- The Eagles are a pass happy offense, especially with Vick under center and that makes Avant, their number three receiver, a viable fantasy asset. Avant caught five passes for 76 yards and a score Monday night and now has at least 40 yards and 5 targets in his last four games. He’s a great pickup at the very least for depth, as well as a decent starts with specific matchups. He’s a solid WR5 with WR3/4 upside if Jackson or Maclin were to get injured.

Others to Consider: Deon Butler, Brandon Gibson, Emmanuel Sanders, Arrelious Benn

TE’s
Rob Gronkowski/Jermaine Gresham/Anthony Fasano-There were some big games amongst TE’s Sunday, most notably Patriots rookie Rob Gronkowski. He had 5 catches for 72 yards and a Pats rookie record three touchdowns in Sunday night’s win over the Steelers. The issue with him is that weekly, its either him or fellow rookie Aaron Hernandez having the big game, not both. This makes Gronkowski a risky play, but if you’re in need of a TE grab him and just play him the week following a big Hernandez game. Fellow Bengal’s rookie Jermaine Gresham had his best game as a pro against the Colts Sunday, finishing with 9 catches for 85 yards and a score. The Bengals theme lately has been come from behind, and is likely to continue going forward and with secondary’s attention being focused mostly on Batman and Robin duo, Gresham could start getting more looks as the weeks go forward. He’s going to be a top 6-7 TE in the league at some point so if you’re in a keeper or dynasty league you better get on the bus now for this kid. Dolphins Anthony Fasano had his biggest game of the season Sunday hauling in five passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. His value, along with the rest of the Dolphins receivers, greatly increases with Tyler Thigpen under center and Fasano is not a bad addition to your team, especially if you’re still stuck looking for a replacement like me for Jermichael Finley and guys like Dallas Clark. He’s worth a gamble, I’m going to test him out in one of my leagues this week and you might as well too.

Others to Consider: Delanie Walker, Bo Scaife

Fantasy Breakdown of 1 O’clock games- Week 7

By: Alan Squatrito

 

Falcons vs. Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals travel to the Georgia Dome on Sunday to play the Atlanta Falcons. The Bengals lost two in a row against the Cleveland Browns and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. This is a must win for the Bengals who were on top of their division last year, sweeping their division. With cornerback Dunta Robinson out for the Falcons (concussion from Desean Jackson hit), Ochocinco just might have his best day of the season.  Expect Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco to hook up all day and rekindle their on field relationship. Carson Palmer just needs to step up his game, especially on third downs.  Michael Turner should have a solid day against a team who has been giving up 4.4 yards a carry. Matty Ice should play fairly well as he gets Michael Jenkins back on the field this week. I also see Cedric Benson making a solid fantasy impression this week as well.

Dolphins vs. Steelers
The Miami Dolphins went to Lambeau Field and squeaked one out last week against the Packers, winning by a field goal. Chad Henne looked a lot more comfortable in the pocket. Clay Mathews was out last week and the Packers have been losing their identity on defense as of late but I believe the Dolphins are going to play at home with confidence this week, from last week’s win. With the season on its way for 6 weeks look for the Steelers to struggle a little bit early. I like Henne in the pass game this weekend at home because the Steelers defense has been faring well against the run while their pass defense has some catching up to do. Look for Marshall, Henne, and Heath Miller to have solid fantasy days in week 7.

Ravens vs. Bills
The Ravens faceoff against the Buffalo Bills this weekend at home and they were contemplating starting Ed Reed who is healthy at free safety. The Ravens feel confident enough that they can bench Ed Reed (safe him) and still get the win against the Bills. I happen to agree. The Bills who rank last in rushing defense aren’t going to fix their rush d overnight, or during the rest of the season. Look for McGahee and Ray Rice to have solid fantasy days on the ground because of the blow out game. The Bills are desperate for a win, but I don’t see them coming close. Lee Evans is due for a big day or can have a decent outing on Sunday with his usual one catch, which is a deep ball, for a score.

Chiefs vs. Jags
This is the defense to start this weekend. Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Texans last week within the final minute of the game. That doesn’t even matter. Arrowhead stadium is supposedly the hardest place to play at in the NFL. Also, David Garrard is out with a concussion. Also, Trent Edwards is questionable with a serious thumb sprain on his throwing hand. Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that the Jag’s third string quarterback may start this weekend in Arrowhead stadium? Ought oh, who even is their third string quarterback? Todd Bauman, he hasn’t played a game in 5 years. It’s going to be a long day for the Jags and I expect Dwayne Bowe to continue his fantasy stats and play well this weekend. I also think Tony Moeki, Thomas Jones, and Jamaal Charles all have a day. Look for Maurice Jones Drew to carry the load for the Jags but the load is going to be way too heavy. Pocket Hercules may have a decent day if you have in a ppr league and they give the kid some screens to find him with the ball in some space. This is going to be a fun game to watch for Chiefs fans.

Saints vs. Browns
The Saints finally are starting to play like we know they can, with swagger. Chris Ivory has filled the running game hole and is acclimating very quickly to the speed of the NFL. Colt McCoy is getting his second start this weekend and I expect him to be blitzed more this weekend more than he was last weekend. I still see the Great White Water Buffalo (Peyton Hillis) having a solid fantasy day. I like the Saints in this game as everyone else in the world does. Marques Colston should have a great day at home this weekend and Chris Ivory will carry the load as well. The Browns are one of the worst ranked rushing and passing defenses in the NFL this year, that’s not good. Plug in Drew Brees and watch him pour on the stats all day, all day.

Bears vs. Redskins
Chicago, Illinois native Donovan McNabb goes back to wear he was born and raised to cause some havoc. The Bears still have problems protecting Jay Cutler but the Washington Redskins pass defense is ranked 31st, but stats aren’t always what they seem. The Redskins have faced Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kevin Kolb, Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning during the regular season and two of those games went into overtime letting the passing yards rack up. Mike Shanahan changed their defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4 because he loved what he saw in Dick LeBeau’s Steeler defense last year. Albert Haynesworth has only seen 16 percent of all the Redskins defensive plays this year. He will be active for Sunday’s game this week. Their defense is filled with talented players and it’s only a matter of time before they all put it together. I like the Redskins in this game and I like Donovan McNabb to sling the ball around and have two or three passing touchdowns.  Jay Cutler should still par well and I think Johnny Knox will have a solid day in ppr leagues and Devin Hester may get a deep ball to the house just because he’s due. Anthony Armstrong is the new deep threat for Redskins and he could be a solid flex play this week against a weak Bears secondary. I am not a big fan of Matt Forte this week.

Panthers vs. 49ers
Panthers head coach John Fox finally brightened up and decided to start Matt Moore once again for the second time this season. DeAngelo Williams can only benefit from this and play better and the real Steve Smith is back on the field again after a high ankle sprain. I like the 49ers in this game still because they are a better team than what is on paper and they are starting to get a hot hand. Matt Moore and the rest of the Panthers will start to turn it around this season desperate for a win but it will be a slow start with Matt Moore having to get acclimated to game speed once again. Look for Patrick Willis to make a lot of plays this game and the 49ers to have something to talk about on the airplane home. I love Frank Gore, Crabtree, and Vernon Davis this week despite his bruised knee. I think all of the Panthers players are still risky starts until you see them making some progress. Bench all of the Panthers with confidence this week. Give them just one more week.

Buccaneers vs. Rams
Having home field advantage is always a good thing to have. The Rams hate it when opposing teams have home field advantage this year and they have yet to win a road game. This Sunday they have a great chance to get their first road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but it still won’t happen. Despite how well rookie Sam Bradford has been playing I still have to see it to believe it once again and for their first time on the road. I still do expect Steven Jackson to run all over the Buccaneers and break Erik Dickerson’s franchise rushing record for the Rams. Jackson just needs 32 yards.  I expect the Buccaneers to make big plays on special teams, defense, and offense. I like Kellen Winslow and Mike Williams in this game to rack up some solid fantasy points.

Titans vs. Eagles
Vince Young is doubtful for week 7 against the Eagles, but that doesn’t matter too much because Kerry Collins can still get the job done, and will. Kevin Kolb has been playing well but can LeSean McCoy still carry the load with his injured ribs? I think Jerome Harrison is going to have to jump in and steel a dozen of carries if they want to stay in this game. The Eagles rank 22nd against the run and we are still waiting for Chris Johnson to have that 50 point game that carries our team to victory without even checking back on your score for the rest of the evening. I think Chris Johnson has his best game of the season by far in week 7 and carry the whole load. I like Kenny Britt if he plays (possible benching from barfight) as a low end number three while Bo Scaife should be a low end number one tight end this weekend. Jeremy Maclin seems to be a solid number three receiver/low end number two. I like the Titans to win this game by 13 points.

Player News 10/23

First things first, i’m not sure if you know but Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand was paralyzed after a hit against Army last weekend. There is a facebook page call “wristbands for LeGrand please go to it and show your support for this strong young man. http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=105563409510255

49ers News

WR Josh Morgan(thigh) was a full participant in Friday’s practice and is expected to play Sunday in Carolina. CB Nate Clements(ankle) is likely to miss Sunday’s game which could mean a big day for Steve Smith who himself is returning from an ankle injury. TE Vernon Davis(knee) practiced with no issues this week and will start Sunday.

Bears News

LB Lance Briggs(ankle) was able to practice Friday and is expected to start Sunday. IDP leaguers get him back into your lineups against the Redskins.

Bengals News

CB Jonathan Joseph(ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game in Atlanta. Joseph is likely to play, however may not be 100% meaning Roddy White could have a big day.

Bills News

No Major injuries effecting your fantasy squad.

Broncos News

CB Champ Bailey(ribs) has the best chance at playing this week over the rest of the Broncos on the injury report. WR Eddie Royal(groin) participated in a limited fashion during Friday’s practice and will be a game time decision. If you have another option, use him over Royal who even if he does play won’t be 100%.

Browns News

RB Peyton Hillis(quadricep) is probable this week and should play in a pretty good matchup against the Saints. WR/KR Josh Cribbs (concussion) is expected to play Sunday. WR Mohammed Massaquoi(concussion) is listed as doubtful and likely won’t suit up against the Saints. Rookie QB Colt McCoy will get the start once again this week while QB’s Jake Delhomme(ankle) and Seneca Wallace (ankle) sit out.

Buccaneers News

RB Earnest Graham (hamstring) is questionable this week and isn’t likely to play Sunday. Cadillac Williams and LaGarette Blount are expected to shoulder the load in a good matchup against the Rams. TE Kellen Winslow(knee) practiced in full late this week and will play Sunday.

Cardinals News

WR’s Steve Breaston(knee) and Early Doucet (groin) are both being considered game time decisions. If you have other options or cannot wait until the 4pm game to make a roster decision, look elsewhere. Rookie WR Stephen Williams (back) is not likely to play Sunday and could miss some more time as he is dealing with a small fracture in his back.

Chargers News

WR’s Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee(hamstring) are both unlikely to play Sunday in what would be great matchup against the Patriots. TE Antonio Gates(toe) will be a game time decision, but many close to the Chargers believe Gates will play. RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) practiced in full Friday and will start. Mathews is a high end RB2 against the weak Pats defense.

Chiefs News

No significant Fantasy news.

Colts News

The Colts are on a bye this week, however they are just riddled with injuries. TE Dallas Clark(hand/wrist) was placed on IR ending his season. WR Austin Collie(foot) had surgery this week and will be sidelined at least two weeks. RB Joseph Addai (shoulder) is seeking a second opinion on his shoulder but sources say he will probably miss the next 4-5 weeks.There is nothing torn just some nerve damage. Donald Brown(hamstring ) would be first in line to start with Addai out but he just can’t seem to get healed up. Mike Hart would get the starting nod in Week 8 if Brown is unable to go.

Cowboys News

Dez Bryant (ribs/ankle) is fully healthy according to sources and will play Monday night against the Giants.

Dolphins News

No significant Fantasy News

Eagles News

Michael Vick(ribs) will not start Sunday but will dress and will be emergency QB. Vick is expected to return to a starting role in week 9 after next weeks bye. RB LeSean McCoy(broken rib) says his rib is not yet fully healed but has been playing through it and will continue to do so. WR Desean Jackson(concussion) will not play Sunday but will likely return week 9 after next weeks bye, as long as he passes all his tests.

Falcons News

CB Dunta Robinson(concussion) will not play Sunday. Robinson suffered to concussion on a devastating hit on Eagle receiver Desean Jackson who will not play this week either.

NY Giants News

WR Hakeem Nicks(hamstring fatigue) will play Monday against the Cowboys. Nicks said its just some fatigue and will be fine.

NY Jets News

The Jets are on a bye this week and have no significant injuries.

Jaguars News

QB David Garrard(concussion) will not play Sunday. Coach Jack Del Rio will not announce a starter until Sunday. It will be between Trent Edwards and Todd Bouman, neither of which is a viable option.

Lions News

The Lions are on a bye this week. QB Matthew Stafford(shoulder) is expected to return and start week 8. LB Zach Follett(stinger) was released from the hospital and thankfully will be ok. He layed motionless on the field during Sunday’s loss to the Giants after getting hit by DE Jason Pierre-Paul. It looked a lot worse and luckily he was not severely injured.

Packers News

WR Donald Driver(quadricep) returned to limited practice Friday and is listed as probable. Driver is very likely to play so keep him in your lineups. LB Clay Matthews(hamstring) is going to play Sunday but more than likely will only play on passing downs. If you don’t have other options, you have to start him, but if possible, bench him for this week as his total snaps will be limited.

Panthers News

WR Steve Smith(ankle) practiced in full and will start Sunday in a good matchup against the 49ers. Smith also gets Matt Moore back at QB and is a solid WR3 with WR2 upside this week.

Patriots News

RB Fred Taylor(turf toe) will be out once again this week. BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead will split the carries and both are decent flex plays this week, especially Woodhead in PPR leagues. WR Julian Edelman(concussion) was limited at practice Friday and will be a game time decision.

Raiders News

QB Jason Campbell(knee) is likely to start Sunday unless he has a setback. He was able to practice on a limited basis the last few days so he should be good to go. This brings some value back to the Raiders receivers, who would have had little to none with Kyle Boller at the helm. Bruce Gradkowski(shoulder) is still unable to go. RB Darren McFadden is listed as questionable still but Coach Tom Cable believes he will play Sunday against the Broncos. Run DMC will likely split carries with Michael Bush and both are good flex plays.

Rams News

No significant fantasy news

Ravens News

TE Todd Heap, who suffered a shoulder injury after a big hit by Patriots Safety Brandon Meriweather, is expected to play Sunday against the Bills.

Redskins News

TE Chris Cooley, who suffered a concussion Sunday night is expected to play in Chicago Sunday. Check back in tomorrow with us to make sure but he looks like a go. RB Ryan Torain(ankle) is fine and will start in a tough matchup against the Bears.

Saints News

RB Pierre Thomas(ankle) has been once again ruled out for week 7. RB Reggie Bush(leg) will not play either but is expected back for week 8.

Seahawks News

No significant fantasy news

Steelers News

RB Rashard Mendenhall(shoulder contusion) is not listed on the injury report and will start Sunday against the Dolphins. He is a low end RB1 this week.

Texans News

LB DeMeco Ryans(achilles) was placed on IR thus ending his 2010 season. LB Zac Diles is expected to fill in at MLB and could be a sleeper for tackles in IDP leagues.

Titans News

RB Chris Johnson(thigh) practiced in full Friday, and as we expected is going to start Sunday. QB Vince Young(knee/ankle) is not expected to play Sunday, meaning Kerry Collins will start. WR Kenny Britt(bar fight) is a game time decision as to whether or not coach Jeff Fischer will sit him for disciplinary reasons. Check back in tomorrow morning for an update.

WR Percy Harvin(hamstring) was limited in practice Friday but is expected to play Sunday against the rival Packers. He’s a solid WR3 this week.

10.  Eli Manning (NYG @ HOU) – Texans are 31st against the pass look for Eli to bounce back after last week.

  6. Hakeem Nicks (NYG @ HOU)
  7. Terrell Owens (CIN vs. TB)- He won’t post another 200 yard game but is Palmer’s go to guy and should hit the 100 yard mark with a score.
  8. Mark Clayton (STL @ DET)-Bradford’s go to guy, averaging 8 targets and double digit points every game.
  9. Santana Moss (WAS vs. GB)-Won’t be invisible again this week, back to his 7-8 catch days Sunday.

10.  Anquan Boldin(BAL vs. DEN)-Champ Bailey not allowing more than 4 catches for 65 yards yet, until this week.

11.  Austin Collie (IND vs. KC)-Assuming he plays, he’ll have another huge game, that foot injury isn’t looking real positive though right now.

12.  Larry Fitzgerald (AZ vs. NO)-It remains to be seen how Max Hall gets the ball too him, but he’ll find the ball a few times with one of them being a TD.

13.  Greg Jennings (GB @ WAS)-Will find the end zone once again for the 3rd straight week, but will have more than 2 receptions.

14.  DeSean Jackson(PHI @ SF)

21.  Chad OchoCinco (CIN vs TB)

22.  Santonio Holmes (NYJ vs. MIN)-First game off of suspension, will make some noise first game back.

23.  Kevin Walter (HOU vs. NYG)-Jacoby Jones is doubtful and AJ still a game time decision, could have a huge day, bump him up about 5 spots if AJ sits too.

24.  Mike Thomas (JAC @ BUF) – Garrard’s go to guy, great for PPR leagues. Averaging 7 targets per game and great matchup vs. Buffalo.

25.  Percy Harvin (MIN @ NYJ)-Moss addition will help Harvin tremendously.

26.  Derrick Mason (BAL vs. DEN) – #2 WR’s averaging 7 rec. for 84 yards against the Broncos.

27.  Lance Moore (NO @ AZ)

28.  Brandon Lloyd (DEN @ BAL)-This guy just keeps surprising, has 454 yards receiving through 4 games.

29.  Pierre Garcon (IND vs. KC)-Will play Sunday and could have a big day, especially if Collie can’t go

30.  Dez Bryant (DAL vs. TEN)

31.  Kenny Britt (TEN @ DAL)

32.  Louis Murphy (OAK @ SD)

33.  Dwayne Bowe (KC @ IND)

34.  Michael Crabtree (SF vs. PHI) – Had season high 5 receptions last week, that number will continue to rise.

36.  Nate Washington (TEN @ DAL)

37.  Danny Amendola (STL @ DET)

38.  Jeremy Maclin (PHI @ SF)

39.  Johnny Knox (CHI @ CAR)-Todd Collins is experienced enough, I think him and Knox can beat the Panther secondary for a few big plays.

41.  Braylon Edwards (NYJ vs. MIN)

42.  Roy Williams (DAL vs. TEN)

43.  Brandon LaFell (CAR vs. CHI)-Not sure what it is, just have a hunch, that this is his first big game of his career.

44.  Harry Douglas (ATL @ CLE)

45.  Jabar Gaffney (DEN @ BAL)

46.  Mohammed Massaquoi (CLE vs. ATL)-As much as I dislike Delhomme, he will at least get M.M. involved in the offense.

47.  Mario Manningham (NYG @ HOU)

48.  Lee Evans (BUF vs. JAC)

49.  Mike Sims-Walker (JAC @ BUF)-He won’t be shut out again, but won’t have a huge game either.

51.  Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK @SD)

52.  David Gettis (CAR vs. CHI)

53.  Legedu Naanee (SD vs. OAK)-Will get back into the mix a little bit this week, sadly though too inconsistent to start right now.
