Fantasy is a game of luck, despite writing advise on what to do I can't predict the future. Despite what anyone tells you, no matter how hard you try to predict what is going to happen, you just can't. Case and point, last year in preparation for my yearly fantasy draft, I spent about 30 hours studying for the draft. My friend, who's only information about the year prior was from the new Madden 12 overall rankings, came in and won the league. My team for this 8-team PPR league was Andre Johnson (Played 7 Games) Darren McFadden (Played 3 Games) Greg Jennings (PLAYED 12 GAMES!!!!) Peyton Hillis (Played 3 games) Brandon Marshall (PLAYED ALL 16!!!!) Antonio Gates (Played 11 Games) Austin Collie (514 Yards 1 TD) Jahvid Best (Played 6 Games) and Felix Jones (Lost job after injury) I could go on about the rest of my team, but you get the point. As you would have guessed, I finished last. The guy who I mentioned earlier and won took Steve Smith (CAR) Vincent Jackson, Aaron Hernandez, Ray Rice, CJ Spiller, and Torrey Smith. This year, despite joining a high stakes 5K buy-in league (which I am pleased to report is actually going well) I joined the same league with my friends as well. My RB's in my league with my friends are CJ Spiller, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jonathan Stewart, and Rashard Mendenhall. My not injured RB's are Steven Ridley, Henry Hynoski (#4 Giant RB) Joique Bell (#4 DET RB) Bilal Powell (#2 NYJ) and Lamar Miller (#3 MIA). I have to start 3 of these guys this week. Simply put I have actually managed to lose the league in week 3. To top it off I have under preforming Rodgers and Nelson combo *BARF. Well now you know about my expertise, how about some bold picks.
1. Aaron Rodgers WILL throw for 450 yards and 4 TDs: The Saints have given up 40, 35, and 27 points in their last 3 games. Whats most disturbing is that was against the Redskins, Panthers, and Chiefs, hardly offensive juggernauts. Say what you want about how the Pack look right now, Rodgers has been elite for the past 2 years, there is no reason that he will just stop producing. He has faced some tough tests in the past few weeks, now he gets a horrible defense that is know to be horrible on the road. Oh and by the way even though the chiefs ran for well over 200 yards on the ground last week, glass arm Matt Cassel threw for 250 yards, this could be a great buy-low time on A-Rod.
2. Mark Ingram will not have more than 10 yards rushing: DESPITE being up 24-6 at one point, Ingram finished with 11 yards on 5 carries. This shows what the Saints new coach thinks of him. If he can't run for 12 yards while the saints are milking the clock, how will he get more than 10 yards rushing while the Saints are trying to play catchup.
3. Ramses Barden will have 150+ receiving yards: The Eagles just got blown out by the AZ Cardinals....27 points scored by a Kevin Kolb lead team. Funny Kevin Kolb joke time, Kevin Kolb was once thought to be a franchise QB HAHAHHAHAAHHAHAA. Back to seriousness, Kolb got Larry Fitzgerald 1 catch for 6 yards the week before facing the Eagles. Now all the sudden Kolb throws to Fitzgerald, and he picks up 9 catches for 114 yards and a TD. There has to be some major holes in coverage for Kolb to throw the ball to Larry Fitzgerald, he hates Fitzy like he is dating his sister AND his mom. But believe it or not Barden is Cruz 2.0. Cruz has officially been demoted to Manningham 2.0. Eli prefers attacking weaker corners, rather than throwing to great receivers, he has always had more faith in himself than others, which is a mentality just to throw the ball to the open man. Barden proved that last week, and should prove my theory true again.
4. Tim Tebow will have a better fantasy game than Mark Sanchez: NOOO, I hate Tebow I swear. But he should be in for a big week. Raise your hand if you think an offence led by Mark Sanchez will be able to score on the 49'ers D. Not even Rex Ryan has a hand up. Say what you want about Rex, but he has giant balls, and he likes nothing more than being right when everyone thinks he is wrong. The only way that the Jets compete is if they throw in a curve ball named Tim Tebow, and put the ball in his hands. Best case he wins them the game. Worst case, Tebow is no longer proclaimed the 2nd (First if your Jewish) coming of Jesus Christ. Sanchez may be murdered on the field with his pocket presence against these 49'ers.
5. THE REPLACEMENT REFS WILL GO: I was rooting for these guys so badly, I wanted to see a bunch of poor division 2 and 3 refs show up to the NFL, and prove the NFL refs were just greedy and ungrateful. This is not the Cinderella story I had hoped for. This is like Savanah State against FSU in college football, looking back Savannah state had no chance. But oh boy I was rooting them on like I had been a die-hard fan for years. The call involving the Packers and Seahawks was NOT horrible, it was a tough call, and I thought it could have gone either way. However, the media will be all over this, they will call it awful, they will say it was one of the worst calls ever. The replacement officials HAVE been very bad as a whole, and I think this is the tip over the ice berg. They need to bring in the real refs, just so people stop talking about them. I guarantee we will all be talking about the replacement refs tomorrow, before we talk about Chris Clemons 4 sack quarter. More upcoming, follow us on twitter, facebook, and subscribe on youtube.
