Week Eight Recap and Moving on to Week Nine

Brett Favre made me look bad in Week 8; I picked Aaron Rodgers to beat the Vikings but Brett’s playing like a young 25 year old QB. He’s making me a true believer after watching that performance.

The Ravens Defense finally woke up and pounded the Denver Broncos 30-7. Hopefully this doesn’t stop Denver from having a strong year, but it was a serious reality check!

Here are my picks for week 9:

QB- (Eagles) Donovan McNabb is coming off a big win against the Giants and his timing looks good.

RB- (Jaguars) Maurice Jones-Drew had an awesome game against Titans. Look for the same performance against a weak Kansas City Chiefs defense.

RB- (Bears) Matt Forte looks like he’s running like his old self again; he had 90 yards against the Browns and 2 Touchdowns.

WR- (Colts) Reggie Wayne is a beast regardless of who throws him the ball: Peyton Manning or Joseph Addai!

WR- (New England) Randy Moss had a good rest over the bye week. Look for this receiver to explode with some huge fantasy numbers.

TE- (49ers) Vernon Davis has been on fire lately and I don’t expect the Titans secondary to slow him down.

Kicker- (Jaguars) Josh Scobee should be pretty active this week vs. the Chiefs

Defense/ST (Pittsburgh) – You can bet that Pittsburgh’s defensive coordinator is watching the Ravens-Broncos game film from last week to figure out how to stop the Broncos offense. Pittsburgh definitely has the talent to replicate the Ravens success.

Team to watch: Dallas vs. Philly – NFC East games are always fun to watch, especially when both teams are playing at a high level like the Cowboys and Eagles are. Expect a lot of big plays from these explosive offenses. I’ll give the advantage to the Eagles at home.

Must Start- (Colts) QB Peyton Manning wants to have a better showing this week; he was a little frustrated against the 49ers defense. Look for some big fantasy numbers this week!

Must Start- (Falcons) QB Matt Ryan will be facing a weak Redskins team that’s not playing good football these days, look for Ryan to light it up!

Must sit- (Panthers) RB DeAngelo Williams is facing a tough Saints Defense at home. Delhomme will not be able to keep Darren Sharper and company from crowding the line of scrimmage to focus in on Williams.

Must sit- (Houston) RB Ryan Moats had a great game last week against the Bills with 126 yards and 3 touchdowns. This week will be a little tough to get those kinds of numbers against the Colts defense at home.

Good Luck Fantasy Players I’ll see you next week!
