Borderline Plays
Each week, I write up some borderline plays for a NBC P.R. release promoting Sunday Night Football. When I'm not too stuffed from eating late at my wife's place of work, I post them here.
Chad Pennington vs. Chiefs: The only quarterback Kansas City has held under 250 yards in the last eight games is JaMarcus Russell.
Brett Favre vs. Sea: Despite recent struggles, Favre should bounce back against the easiest defense in the league to score fantasy points against.
Kevin Smith vs. Lions: Saints The rookie is still running like his pants are on fire, regardless of the team's record. The Saints have nothing to play for.
Sammy Morris vs. Cardinals: Expect lots of scoring chances in this game. Snowy conditions could lead to a lot of attempts for the Patriots.
Maurice Morris vs. Jets: New York's vaunted rush defense has fallen on hard times. Is Kris Jenkins slowing down?
Steve Breaston vs. Patriots: New England just doesn't have many capable bodies in their secondary.

Kevin Smith vs. Saints - but we get the idea...

Consider benching Gostowski for Hartley?
For tonights game: Cut Bironas for Hartley the next 2 weeks?
(12 team, 17 wk league) I only have 2 claims left.
I could also cut Colts D. Have Titans. You still think they're top 5 this week?
Big $ and bragging rights on the line.
Thx

Steve - If there's big $$ on the line, go spend $5 on the season pass and get plenty of insight.
My take - stick with Gotskowski and Titans this week. See what the Titans do next week - all bets are off in week 17.
On another note - how many people have leagues that end in week 17? I end my leagues in week 16 to avoid the "resting stud starters" problems in 17.

Steve, why cut Bironas?
And I can't imagine more than 1-2% of leagues having a week 17. That's craziness.

...oh right, because of Steelers D. I just went and cut Bironas for Hartley in two leagues, ha ha.
With Brees and Thomas on both of those teams as well, it'll be a good bet hedger when/if NO fails to punch it in for a TD.
