Week 12 - Will the Saints Reign Supreme?

Week 11 was one of those weeks that I talked about when any given Sunday you can be beat! The Kansas City Chiefs showed that against the Steelers and the Raiders proved it against the Bengals with big victories! The Colts and the Saints are continuing their quest to remain unbeaten!

Here are my picks for week 12:

QB- (Saints) Drew Brees is ready for the showdown against Tom Brady and the Patriots! He’s at home and it will be a Monday night game; there will be a lot of fireworks!

RB- (Vikings) Adrian Peterson is ready for a big day; Brett is throwing the ball well so watch out for the running game to explode. I feel Peterson will run for 200 yards this week.

RB- (Chiefs) Jamaal Charles is running like the Chiefs is his team after the departure of Larry Johnson…This kid has a lot speed, last week he ran back a 97 yard Kickoff return for a score and caught a pass for a TD! Look for him to do his thing against the Chargers!

WR- (Houston) Andre Johnson - Look for him to play like a beast against the Colts this Sunday, I know he’ll be coming off a short week because he played on Monday night against the Titians but he thrives against big time competition like the Colts. He wants to show why he’s worthy as a NFL receiver!

WR-(Green Bay) Greg Jennings played well against the 49ers catching 5 passes for 126 yards and scoring 1 TD. I think he’ll put up even better numbers against the Lions this week.

TE- (Saints) Jeremy Shockey, could catch 6-8 receptions and a couple of touchdowns this week! The Saints will be in the red zone a lot and this is Shockey’s space!

Kicker- (Texans) Kris Brown missed a big kick against the Titans. I’m expecting that he’ll practice hard this week and be ready for the Colts on Sunday.

Defense/ST (Tennessee) the Titans defense has tightened up their attack over the last 4 weeks. Look for them to give the Cardinals fits!

Team to Watch: (New Orleans vs. New England) two of the NFL best QB’s will be going at it, and trust me I can’t wait! This is Drew Brees’ calling card; I expect big fantasy numbers from both QB’s with the Saints winning, 40-28.

Must Start- (Packers) Ryan Grant is a smooth operator; last week he ran hard against a tough 49ers defense. I’ll look for him to run through the Lions’ defense with some big fantasy numbers.

Must Start- (Bengals) Bernard Scott filled in for Cedric Benson last week against the Raiders and looked like he was suppose to be there; he ran for 119 yards on 21 carries. I expect him to play a big role this week against the Browns.

Must sit- (Raiders) QB Gradkowski; he’ll be facing a tough Cowboy’s defense that will be thirsty for a big win at home.

Must sit- (Bears) QB Cutler will be going against the Vikings, one of the NFL best defenses with guys like Allen and the Williams brothers.

Sleeper- Thomas Jones had good numbers last week, he ran for 103 yards in 21 carries. Look for him to play even better against the Panthers.

Sleeper- (Chiefs) WR Chris Chambers will be out to prove that the Chargers made a huge mistake when the released him earlier this season.

Good luck Fantasy players with your picks, and I’ll see you next week!
