Indianapolis Colts 9-5 at Kansas City Chiefs 11-3
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Alex Smith
#8 Ranked QB
Five out of Smith’s seven home games yielded 20 or more fantasy points. You will hear that Smith doesn’t throw down field and you will hear that Jamaal Charles did almost all of the work last week. And that is true, but by hook or by crook, Alex Smith is the 2nd highest scoring fantasy QB in the league over the last four weeks, and the 8th highest on the season. At some point we need to give credit where credit is due.
Jamaal Charles
#1 Ranked DEF
Last week Jamaal Charles had the 6th best fantasy performance by a RB since 1960. If five TDs in one game didn’t sell you, nothing will. Fantasy MVP.
Kansas City Defense
#3 Ranked DEF
They’re back, baby!!! Two weeks ago they sacked RGIII six times, leading to some remote justification of his benching (and we stress the word “remote”). Then last week they picked off Matt McGloin five times. Andrew Luck has all the talent in the world, but if there’s no running game and your offensive line resembles Swiss cheese there’s only so much you can do. Play the Chiefs.
Gut Calls
There are three fantasy starters on this team (see above) and everyone else is on the bench.
Bench Warmers
Dwayne Bowe
#30 Ranked WR
Bowe has yet to acquire more than 70 passing yards in a game this season and he’s only scored four TDs. You need more from your starting WR in the championship round.
