Stormin Norman Rumack

10 PLAYERS I LIKE:

 
Michael Jenkins (ATL): Has been disappointing for most of ‘09 but Jenkins has had back to back good games (13-156 YDS) and back-up QB Chris Redman looked his way often in the Falcons 20-17 victory over Tampa Bay.
 
Tony Romo, Jason Witten & Felix Jones (DAL): Romo has had some big games vs. the Giants while Witten gets to take on one of the worst defenses against the TE. Witten only has one touchdown on the season, and that was against the Giants in Week Two. Felix had his best game vs. the Giants (7-96 YDS, TD) in that contest as well and has been getting more work since Jerry Jones demanded he become more involved. Don't let the Giants defensive numbers fool you, there best games were against lousy teams but are vulnerable against opponents with multiple skill position players like Dallas. Also keep in mind that LB Antonio Pierce is out for the season.
 
Jason Campbell (WAS): His last five games he has averaged 232 yards and has scored seven touchdowns. Having a quietly good fantasy season.
 
Aaron Rodgers (GB): Best thing going for him is the Packers offensive line is finally fully intact.
 
Jeremy Maclin (PHI): 17 receptions over the past three weeks and it looks more and more like DeSean Jackson will have to miss some time after suffering a concussion last week.
 
Jonathan Stewart (CAR): Has his highest yardage total (110 YDS) against Tampa Bay back in Week Six and has two straight 100 yard games against a weak Tampa run D.
 
Darren Sproles (SD): Here is how I see this game going ... the Chargers get out to a big lead early and then spend two and half quarters running the ball against a Cleveland run defence that is without their best run stuffer Shaun Rodgers. I'm betting Sproles gets his first 100 yard game of the season.
 
Zach Miller (OAK): Once JaMarcus Russell was sent to the bench every receiver on the Raider roster suddenly deserves a boost. Miller has 10 receptions for 138 yards and one score in his last two games.
 
10 PLAYERS I DON’T LIKE:

Heath Miller (PIT): If Dennis Dixon is on the field get Miller on your bench. Dixon never looked for Miller during their Sunday night loss to Baltimore.
 
Laurence Maroney (NE): Don't be fooled by his two touchdown performance against the Saints, he fumbles way too much and has never lived up to his hype.
 
Justin Fargas (OAK): Darren McFadden is back. If you're the Raiders why not find out what you have in the former first round pick? Look for the Raiders to start splitting carries between McFadden, Fargas and Michael Bush.
 
Brandon Jacobs (NYG): Averaging under four yards a carry and has yet to register a 100 yard game. This guy has been a fantasy assassin all season. You’ve been forced to start him week after week and he just keeps disappointing you.
 
Terrell Owens (BUF): Has been on fire his past three games (378 YDS, 2 TD) but this week he'll be match-up against the Jets CB Darrelle Revis. Revis has shut down Andre Johnson and Randy Moss, look for the same thing to happen on Thursday in Toronto.
 
Marshawn Lynch (BUF): Is quickly losing his starting job to Fred Jackson. Of course when you manage only 61 total rushing yards in your past three games you really don't deserve to be the starter.
 
Kurt Warner (ARI): Concussion issues and the Vikings pass rush makes him a shaky start.
 
Donald Driver (GB): The most reliable target on the NFL's 6th best passing attack. You never know what you are going to get from Greg Jennings game to game but you can be fairly sure for at least a B performance.
 
Eli Manning (NYG): He's regressing quickly and has never been a good fantasy option at home in December. Strong winds at the Meadowlands usually means bad Eli Manning passing numbers.
 
Jay Cutler (CHI): I don't care if the Rams defence is horrible Cutler leads the league in interceptions and bad body language
