Looking ahead
Wednesday is hump day, the day we move on from talking about last week, and start looking ahead. Well, really, I begin my Week 6 prep with the Season Pass rankings on Tuesday.
Anyhow, one of my random responsibilities of the week is a list of five good borderline or sleeper plays for an NBC press release touting Sunday Night Football. Here it is below, with a freebie thrown in:
1. Chad Pennington @ Texans: With a strong running game at his back, Pennington can pick on single coverage over the middle from a weak Houston secondary.
2. Kyle Orton @ Falcons: Atlanta's defense has overachieved, but the secondary is terrible and Orton is playing the best ball of his life.
3. Steve Slaton @ Dolphins: This will be Slaton's last time on a "sleeper" list. The versatile talent is now an every-week fantasy starter.
4. Justin Fargas @ Saints: Off fantasy waiver wires and into the starting lineup! The Raiders do one thing well - run - and new head coach Tom Cable is the man responsible. Fargas is a better play than Darren McFadden.
5. Vincent Jackson vs. Patriots: With Chris Chambers hurt, Jackson will see more targets. And his size is a big problem for New England's smurf-like cornerbacks.
6. Brandon Stokley vs. Jaguars: Few pass defenses are any worse than Jacksonville, and Stokley will pick up targets over the middle with Eddie Royal and Tony Scheffler hurt. Even with Royal playing Stokley is a decent bet to get some of Scheffler's looks over the middle.
