    GOLD and COLD WEEK 6

    Posted October 16, 2009 by darren
    Found in: Fantasy Sports, NFL

     

    GOLD

    Jermichael Finley, GB, TE, vs. Detroit
    Forecast: 5 catches, 63 yards, 1 TD (14 points)
    Finley should be in line for a big game this week. Detroit has given up 6 TD’s to Tight Ends this year and should have trouble covering all of Green Bay’s weapons. If the Lions focus on the WRs then Finley should have a huge day over the middle.

    Nate Burleson, SEA, WR, vs. Arizona
    Forecast: 7 catches, 77 yards, 1 TD (16 points)
    One of the most underrated WRs in the league is set to have another big game at home. He has 22 catches, 281 yards and 3 TDs in 3 games. Look for this to continue against a Cardinals team giving up plenty yards in the air.

    Matt Hasselbeck, SEA, QB, vs. Arizona
    Forecast: 301 passing yards, 3 TD, 1 Int, 10 rushing yards (23 points)
    Like I said Arizona can be beat in the air and Seattle has plenty of weapons to do it with. Look for Matt to spread the wealth again for another big week.

    Pierre Thomas, NO, RB, vs. NY Giants
    Forecast: 16 carries, 96 yards, 2 catches, 24 yards, 1 TD (18 points)
    Thomas has been great since his return from his knee injury. With teams keying on Brees and the passing game, Thomas has dominated on the ground averaging 106 yards and a TD. Even better is he can also catch the ball. Keep riding the wave.

    Todd Heap, BAL, TE, @ Minnesota
    Forecast: 5 catches, 45 yards, 1 TD (13 points)
    Minnesota has allowed the most fantasy points to TEs this so Heap should be the next TE to go off against them. Don’t be surprised if he scores this week.

    LaDainian Tomlinson, SD, RB, vs. Denver
    Forecast: 20 carries, 72 yards, 3 catches, 15 yards, 1 TD (16 points)
    Tomlinson has scored in 6 straight MNF games. And even though the Denver D is improved I see him keeping that streak alive especially after coming off a bye week.

    Jake Delhomme, CAR, QB, @ Tampa Bay
    Forecast: 265 passing yards, 3 TD, 1 Int (20 points)
    Jake should have his best game of the year this week going against the bad Tampa Bay defense. This is one week that he is actually ok to start so take advantage if you need a QB this week

    Vincent Jackson, SD, WR, vs. Denver
    Forecast: 6 catches, 105 yards, 1 TD (17 points)
    Jackson has been good all season and I see that continuing especially with the Chargers coming off a bye. Start him with confidence.

    COLD

    Julius Jones, SEA, RB, vs. Arizona
    Forecast: 13 carries, 38 yards, 2 catches, 10 yards, 0 TD (6 points)
    The way to beat Arizona is in the air, they actually have a pretty good run defense. So this week I don’t see Jones having a good game especially when he is splitting with Edge.

    Eddie Royal, DEN, WR, @ San Diego
    Forecast: 3 catches, 34 yards, 0 TD (4 points)
    Royal finally broke out this year, the thing is how long will it continue. I don’t see it happening again this week against a mad SD defense

    Michael Bush, OAK, RB, vs. Philadelphia
    Forecast: 16 carries, 35 yards, 1 catch, 6 yards, 0 TD (4 points)
    There is no reason to start any Raiders this game against a great Eagles defense.

    Jamal Lewis, CLE, RB, @ Pittsburgh
    Forecast: 15 carries, 44 yards, 0 TD (4 points)
    Last weeks surprise big game won’t happen again this week when the Steelers are ready for it.

    Steve Smith, NYG, WR, @ New Orleans
    Forecast: 4 catches, 45 yards, 0 TD (6 points)
    Saints surprisingly pretty good in pass coverage and Eli could be hurt. Downgrade expectations.

    Last weeks results:

    Week 5 GOLD and COLD

    Posted October 11, 2009 by darren
    Found in: Fantasy Sports, NFL

    GOLD

    Jerome Harrison, CLE, RB, @ Buffalo
    Forecast: 22 carries, 84 yards, 5 catches, 24 yards, 1 TD (20 points)
    Injuries in the Browns backfield have left Harrison as the last man standing and this has been good for the both of them. Thrown into the starting lineup against a tough Bengals D he preformed well going for over 100 yards rushing. Harrisons best asset is that he is a good receiver witch will help when the Browns are down.

    Glen Coffee, SF, RB, VS. Atlanta
    Forecast: 25 carries, 77 yards, 4 catches, 26 yards, 1 TD (18 points)
    Gore will be out again leaving the 49er running game to the very capable Coffee. The Falcons have not been that strong stopping the run so I can see Coffee having another solid day. Even better I see him getting in the End Zone this week

    David Garrard, JAX, QB, @ Seattle
    Forecast: 265 passing yards, 2 TD, 1 Int, 20 rushing yards (18 points
    Garrard has been very solid at QB and this week he is going against a weak defense. He can beat teams on the ground and in the air and he has been pretty good at not turning the ball over. He should have another solid game right here.

    Tashard Choice, DAL, RB, @Kansas City
    Forecast: 17 carries, 77 yards, 5 catches, 44 yards, 1 TD (22 points)
    If Barber is limited or not playing then these numbers could be even bigger. Choice has been solid when given the opportunity to play and going against a weak defense, he will be the prime Choice in the Dallas backfield.

    Nate Washington, TEN, WR, VS. Indianapolis
    Forecast: 6 catches, 89 yards, 1 TD (16 points)
    Washington has scored in three straight weeks and has become the Titians #1 receiver. I see them having to throw the ball a lot in this one to keep up with the Colts offense.

    John Carlson, SEA, TE, VS. Jacksonville
    Forecast: 6 catches, 50 yards, 1 TD (14 points)
    The return of Matt Hasselbeck should help Carlson greatly. I see him getting back to being one of the better TE options in fantasy football. Going against Jacksonville should be just what the doctor ordered.

    Knowshon Moreno, DEN, RB, VS. New England
    Forecast: 18 carries, 83 yards, 4 catches, 20 yards (13 points)
    Knowshon has scored in two straight games and is fast becoming the main option in the Denver backfield. He doesn’t have a great match-up this week but I still see him having a good game.

    Braylon Edwards, NYJ, WR, @ Miami
    Forecast: 4 catches, 60 yards, 1 TD (13 points)
    I know this is a big reach but I could see the Jets throwing to Edwards right away. The Dolphins have been bad against the deep ball and that is just Braylon’s specialty. Look for them to go deep at least a couple times in this game.

    COLD
    Tony Gonzalez, ATL, TE, @ San Francisco

    Forecast: 4 catches, 34 yards, 0 TD ( 6 points)
    The 49ers have been very good against opposing TE’s this season. They have very athletic LB’s that can cover. Look for him to have lower numbers this week.

    Steve Smith, NYG, WR, VS. Oakland
    Forecast: 3 catches, 34 yards, 0 TD (4 points)
    With Eli doubtful for the game and going against one of the best corners in the league it will be hard for Smith to keep up his excellent play this week.

    Joseph Addai, IND, RB, @ Tennessee
    Forecast: 12 carries, 37 yards, 4 catches, 21 yards, 0 TD (8 points)
    Addai had a good week last week but I don’t see it happening again this week. He is in almost a 50-50 split with Donald Brown making big weeks more and more rare. Now he has to go up against the Titians tough running defense.

    Thomas Jones, NYJ, RB, @ Miami
    Forecast: 16 carries, 45 yards, 1 catch, 4 yards, 0 TD (5 points)
    Another player in a time share going against a tough running defense, I don’t see a big game from Jones this week. Without that TD run last week he really didn’t do anything.

    Michael Turner, ATL, RB, @ San Francisco
    Forecast: 25 carries, 59 yards, 1 catch, 6 yards, 0 TD (6 points)
    Follow the trend? Three straight weeks owners should lower their expectations going against the tough 49er defense. This week is even worse because Turner is no threat in the passing game.

    Week 4 Results
    GOLD
    Glen Coffee, SF, RB, VS. St. Louis                                                                           WIN

    NFL: AFC Preview

    Posted September 9, 2009 by darren
    Found in: NFL

    The NFL season is upon us, so its time to see where teams stack up in their divisions. Today I will preview the AFC and tomorrow the NFC. It should be a great season but here is how I see it playing out:

    AFC EAST:

    1. New England Patriots
    The Patriots were the class of the league till Tom Brady went down in game one last year. Well Brady’s back and he still has his weapons like Randy Moss and Wes Welker. They should resume their high scoring ways and be the top of the division. On the other side of the ball though, their defense is not as good as years past. This might cause for some exciting shootouts during the season, but in the end I see them having enough offense to win the division.

    2. New York Jets
    The Jets have got a new coach and new QB, I think that could make the deference this year. They still have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, but I think their defense will be improved with new coach Rex Ryan. They still have to worry about starting a rookie (Mark Sanchez) at QB, but they have a strong enough defense and running game to coupe with that. I see them as this years Ravens.

    3. Miami Dolphins
    The Dolphins went from worst to first in the division last year, this year they will take a step back. Last year they benefited from the Pats losing Brady and the Jets fading at the end but this year teams are going to be ready for them, especially for the Wildcat offense that teams had trouble tons stopping. A tougher division puts the Dolphins back in their place this year.

    4. Buffalo Bills
    From worst to worst! Yes the Bills got T.O. in the off-season, but I don’t think it will be enough to make a move in a division that will be better this year. Add missing Marshawn Lynch for three games, plus the recent firing of the Offensive Coordinator and I see a bad season coming.

    AFC NORTH:

    1. Pittsburgh Steelers
    The defending champs will be right there again. This team has all the pieces in place to repeat just can they stay health. Another thing they need to worry about is their O-line that was horrible last year in blocking for the run game or protecting Big Ben. This could catch up to them this year if they don’t improve.

    2. Cincinnati Bengals
    I see the Bengals making a come back this year, that is if Carson Palmer can stay healthy. The Bengals defense was very under rated and they improved it in the off-season through the draft and free agency. If their offense could get back to where it was, then I see them as a surprise team this year. Again, the key lies with Palmer.

    3. Baltimore Ravens
    The Ravens will always have a solid defense as long as Ray Lewis and they will again this season. On offense Joe Flaco had a great season as a rookie leading them to the playoffs and even winning a couple games. Can he do it again? I going to say he struggles a little bit this season, but the ravens should still be good with their defense either way.

    4. Cleveland Browns
    The Browns might be improved this season but it won’t be enough to move up in the division. They still haven’t decided who the QB will be to start the season. That’s not good for a team that needs direction.

    AFC SOUTH:

    1. Indianapolis Colts
    The Colts made it through a slow first half to start rolling at the end of the season. Then that had to play the Chargers a team that has had their number in recent years to end their season. Healthy this year, I see them taking back the division lead. It’s going to be a tough division but the Colts are still the class.

    2. Houston Texans
    It seems like this team has been picked as a sleeper for a couple years now only to disappoint. They have shown glimpse of the team they could be and this year I think they finally put it together. Their offense will be solid, but can their defense step it up?

    3. Tennessee Titans
    Surprising many to being the top team in the AFC, this team does it with a strong defense and a solid running game. They will try to use that again, but I see teams being ready for them this season. Their lack of passing offense might hurt them more this year.

    4. Jacksonville Jaguars
    A few years ago the Jaguars were right there with the Colts competing for the division title, now injuries have forced them to an after though. I think they will still have a solid team and might surprise, but in a tough division it will be hard for them to move up.

    AFC WEST:

    1. San Diego Chargers
    The Chargers are by far the class of the AFC West this season. They have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, and now the will have Shawn Merriman back to rep havoc on QB’s. Getting of to a good start will be key this season as they started off slow the past two years. If they do start fast they could end up with the best record and home field advantage in the playoffs.

    2. Denver Broncos
    The Broncos have talent to compete, but a lose of their QB and a disgruntled WR has this year looking very bleak. There is talk that players are already feuding with the new coach witch can’t be good to start the season.

    3. Oakland Raiders
    The Raiders will be the Raiders this season, which is not very good. They have talent but no leadership to lead them. I don’t see the Raiders being good until Al Davis gives up the team. With that being said the could be in some games because of a solid defense but how far they grow on offense will be as far as this team goes.

    4. Kansas City Chiefs
    The Chiefs are going to be in a rebuilding year this season. Even worse their starting QB Matt Cassell hurt his knee and will be out for some time. It doesn’t look pretty for the up coming season.

    Weekend Recap: Are You Ready for Some Football?

    Posted August 10, 2009 by darren
    Found in: MMA, Golf, NFL

     

    Football is finally here as the preseason kicked off with TO’s new team, Buffalo Billls, took on the Tennessee Titans. The starters didn’t play very long, but for what they did play they looked pretty good. LenDale White looked especially good, as he came into camp a lot lighter for the season. I think with him and Chris Johnson the Titans are going to have a very potent running game this season. TO also had a few catches in his debut for Buffalo. Its going to be a fun season to watch and I’m just glad that its finally here.

    In golf, Tiger Woods was back at it again at the Bridgestone Invitational, dominating the field for his 70th career win. This was his 16th win in 30 World Golf Championship events for Woods and his 5th win this season. All is good for Woods but I have a feeling that he will be very disappointed if he doesn’t get a major win this season, 0-3 this season. He will get his chance this week at the PGA Championship at Hazeltine in Chaska, Minn. I think that Woods will finally get his major win there, although I have said that going into every major this season because of him winning a tournament a week before each. The pressure will be on Woods, but I have a feeling that he can handle it. We will see if he breaks through this week.

    In UFC 101, Anderson Silva proved he is one of the best by dominating and even embarrassing former light heavyweight champ Forrest Griffin. Silva was so confident in his skills that he even dropped his hands in front of Forrest then knocked him out as he lunged to hit him. Forrest was so embarrassed by this domination that he ran out the ring and into the locker room after the ref ended the fight. The only question is, who can beat this guy? After Saturday’s performance I’m not sure anyone can right now. I’ll be very interested to see who he will fight next, after Dan Henderson who is already his next fight. I think he is going to stay at light heavyweight so there is plenty of talent there to fight. B.J. Penn also looked good in his fight choking out Kenny Florian.
