Here we go Week 8 and Week 7 recap- Drew Brees is on a Roll!



Week 7 was full of surprises as the Arizona Cardinals shocked the NY Giants with 24-17 win and took the NFC West lead over the 49ers. The Pittsburg Steelers defense stopped Favre and Peterson to give the Vikings their first loss! New Orleans rallied against the Dolphins to remain unbeaten! The two others team that are undefeated are the Broncos and Colts.


My starting lineups for week 8:

QB- (Green Bay) Aaron Rodgers is facing Brett Favre and the Vikings. Trust me, there’s no love between these two teams. Brett won the first meeting but Aaron is eyeing a win in the second meeting! Lambeau Field will be rocking on Sunday!

RB- (NY Jets) Thomas Jones has been putting up some good numbers all season. I like the way the Jets are having a 2 back system; it keeps both backs fresh!

RB- (Saints) Mike Bell is running with a swagger and a lot of attitude. He only had 80 yards last week against a tough Miami defense…but it’s Monday night and he loves the spot light!

WR-(Cowboys) Miles Austin is emerging to be a serious deep threat for the Cowboys. He’s putting up superstar numbers every week; he burned the Falcons secondary for 6 catches for 171 yards and 2 touch down. He’s becoming a fantasy dream for the fantasy players out there.

WR-(Chargers) Vincent Jackson put up some good numbers last week against the Chiefs he had 5 catches for 142 yards and 1 TD…He’s facing a “I don’t want to play” Raiders team, so look for some big numbers from him.

TE- (Colts) Dallas Clark will be out to prove that he’s the best TE on the field when the Colts take on the 49ers this weekend.

Kicker- (Eagles) It will be a defensive battle in Philadelphia this Sunday. The Eagles offense will probably stall in the redzone a few times, giving David Akers plenty of opportunities.

Defense/ST-( Philadelphia Eagles) The Eagles will be coming off a short week because of their Monday night game. Hopefully it won’t be a physical game because the Redskins are not playing to good these days, and I know there’s some bad blood between the Giants and Eagles…The good thing for Philly is they’re playing the Giants at home.

Team to watch: (Denver Broncos). …The Broncos will be facing a tough and nasty Ravens defense in Baltimore…We’ll see how Kyle Orton holds up against one of the NFL’s best defenses.

Must Start- RB (NY Jet) Shonn Green ran for a season high 19 carries for 144 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Raiders last week, he’s running on fire. Leon Washington is out for the season and even though he’ll have to share touches with Thomas Jones, I’m still expecting a big game from Shonn.

Must Start- (Saints) Drew Brees is The NFL MVP in my book. He elevates his play week after week against power house teams like the Giants, and then coming back against the Dolphins. The Saints are a team to be reckoned with.

Must sit- (Raiders) Justin Fargas will face the Chargers this weekend. It may be tempting to start him, but the Chargers defense will be keying in on him.

Must sit- (Panthers) DeAngelo Williams will be going up against one of the surprisingly best run defenses in the NFL in the Arizona Cardinals. They shut down the lethal Giants rushing attack. Expect the same this week.

Good Luck Fantasy Players I’ll see next Week!
