Cleveland Browns – Fantasy Foreplay – Analysis Featured on Cover32.com

Cover32LogoDetroit Lions at Cleveland Browns

The Browns are having the resurgence of the decade, but the Lions are an offensive machine (if they have Megatron).  There’s a lot in the air regarding this game, so make sure to check the injury report Sunday morning, but feel fabulous about Cameron and Gordon.  Put a smile on your face.

This week, we made some gut calls on Jordan Cameron, Josh Gordon, Browns Defense, Brandon Weeden and the Running Backs.

Here’s something to talk about:

Browns Defense
#14 Ranked DEF
The Browns defense is legit. So legit in fact, that they have quietly scored the 3rd most fantasy points amongst defenses. We don’t think most people saw that coming. Their lowest scoring week, thus far, has garnered you 7 points. Trust us people, that is not a number to be angry with. This week they will suit up against the Lions who have given up the 7th fewest points to defenses, so expect single digit numbers this week (unless Megatron doesn’t play, in which case, you have a bit more of an upside).

Cover32LogoCarolina Panthers at Minnesota Vikings

Suggestion box, anyone?  Anyone?  Both Carolina and Minnesota have only tasted victory one time this season.  Someone has to win, right?  Good for them.  But let’s focus on you fantasy victory!

This week, we made some gut calls on Cam Newton, DeAngelo Williams, Graham Gano, Greg Olsen and the receiving corps.

A Penny’s Worth of Thoughts:

Cam Newton

#12 Ranked QB

We simply cannot in good faith continue to tell people that Cam Newton is a must start. His stats are all over the map. We think there is a possibility that he has a nice game, but this is a gut call. Last week Newton went back to that odd sideline behavior and lacked the vigor necessary to win a football game. And remember: in fantasy, we’re not as into winning the game so much as we are about yards and TDs. He couldn’t get that done either. He was sacked 7 times and never fell into a rhythm because of the sneakily good Arizona defense. Perhaps the coaching staff will go back to designed runs like in his Week 3, 30-fantasy-point outing. Too many unknowns to play without consideration. If you have a better option, don’t be afraid to play the other guy.

Arizona Cardinals – Fantasy Foreplay – Analysis Featured on Cover32.com

Cover32LogoArizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers

Remember at the beginning of the season when everyone thought the 49ers were the best team in the NFL?  Hm.  Now people are wondering if this will be a close game.  The Arizona Defense continues to improve and you can’t really say the same this about the 49ers offense.  Time will tell.

This week, we made some gut calls on Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona Defense, Carson Palmer, Rashard Mendenhall and Andre Ellington.

Some of our thoughts:

Carson Palmer
#28 Ranked QB
This nice fellow needs to be dropped from your roster. Averaging fewer than 10 points per game, you have better fantasy options. Brandon Weeden, Andy Dalton, Joe Flacco and even Eli Manning are averaging more points per game. We don’t blame Palmer for the lack of a number 2WR or any TE at all. That is a team management issue. But facts are facts. Happy trails to you.

This week, we made some gut calls on Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Garrett Hartley, Pierre Thomas, and Darren Sproles.

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Drew Brees
#4 Ranked QB
If you own Drew Brees, you don’t bench him. He might not have a record-breaking game against New England’s defense, but he will not disappoint. Brees had 288 yards and two TDs last week against Chicago. We expect him to have similar numbers. Good news for Brees owners is that even his RBs have more receiving yards then rushing. Lots of targets for Brees.

This week, we made some gut calls on Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, and Matthew Stafford.

Gut Calls

Matthew Stafford
#8 Ranked QB
Stafford had 262 yards and a TD without his boyfriend Megatron. Most of his fantasy points came at the end of the game. A lot of Stafford’s passes were dropped and he was sacked 5 times. Tough game to watch for Stafford owners but he still got you 14.38 points. Cincinnati has given up the 5th fewest points to QBs. If Megatron is out, Stafford might need to be out of your line-up too.

This week, we made some gut calls on Denarius Moore, Rod Streater, Terrelle Pryor, Rashad Jennings, and Marcel Reece.

Gut Calls

Denarius Moore 
#36 Ranked WR
Moore is only owned in 64 percent of leagues and we think he’s a good pick-up. Not only is he the clear No. 1 WR, but after his game against Kansas City, he plays Pittsburgh. Pick him up. Moore had 84 yards and a TD last week. We think he will get similar yards this week but the Chiefs may not let him get in the endzone. We would feel okay about putting him in as your WR3.

This week, we made some gut calls on Justin Blackmon, Cecil Shorts, MJD, and Chad Henne.

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Justin Blackmon
#20 Ranked WR
We said it last week, when a player comes off suspension this year you play them. Blackmon’s first catch was for a 67 yard TD. “First touch, touchdown,” Jaguars receiver Cecil Shorts said. “I’m like ‘Come on, man.’” He’s back and ready to help the Jaguars not be the embarrassment of the NFL. The Broncos give up a lot of points to opponents and we see some late game garbage points going to Blackmon.

This week, we made some gut calls on Peyton Manning, Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas, Matt Prater and Knowshon Moreno.

Gut Calls

Knowshon Moreno
#9 Ranked RB
Knowshon had 93 yards rushing with a TD and 57 yards receiving last week against Dallas. He is the clear #1 RB for Denver. Jacksonville has given up the 10th most fantasy points to RBs. We are putting Knowshon in Gut Calls simply because when the Broncos get ahead they take Moreno out of the game and rely on Hillman and Ball to help run out the clock.

This week, we made some gut calls on Ray Rice, Torrey Smith, Joe Flacco, Dallas Clark and Justin Tucker.

Ray Rice
#12 Ranked RB
With Clay Matthews out, this is really going to open up the field for the Ravens. Rice had 74 yards rushing with 2 TDs and 28 yards receiving last week against Miami. Green Bay is ok against the rush thus far, but with injured WRs and basically no TE, Rice will see a lot of touches this week. Ravens win when they give the ball to Rice.

This week, we made some gut calls on Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller, Scott Chandler, Stevie Johnson, and EJ Manuel.

EJ Manuel
We ranked Thaddeus Lewis
No reports yet from the coaching staff, but it is rumored that he Manuel out for six weeks with an ankle sprain. The Bills signed QB Thaddeus Lewis on Monday and announced he will start Week 6. Lewis played one game last year with Cleveland and was just okay. Expect the RBs to get the ball a lot this week. With Freeman going to Minnesota, maybe Matt Cassel will head to Buffalo. Vintage Cassel jerseys need to come out of the closet.
