TTR's Week 6 - Start em Sit em

Start em

New Orleans Saints - Darren Sproles -  The Bucs have a good young pass rush and they will be trying to get after Drew Brees all day long.  I think Sean Payton and Drew Brees will involve mighty mite in the game plan a lot to get the ball out quickly.  I expect Sproles to have over 120 all purpose yards and at least 1 score in this game.


Washington Redkins - Ryan Torain -  Torain had a huge game in Week 4 and he is currently the lead back in Washington.  When the Eagles come to town they can expect a heavy dose of the running game.  They have been unable to stop anyone's ground attack this year, and the Skins one cut zone blocking scheme is ready to go.  It is deadly to a team whose linebackers get caught out of position.  You also have to figure that the Skins will want to get in and out of this game quickly, because the Eagles despite their struggles, have the talent to stay in any game.  Shanahan will want to secure the win and get off the field quickly in this matchup.


St. Louis Rams - Sam Bradford - Bradford is a sleeper pick for me this week.  He has been battered and beaten, and most of his weapons are banged up.  He has had a terrible start to the year, but the bye week helped them get some things worked out and some players on the field.  Green Bay has had an excellent defense under Dom Capers the last couple years, but this year they haven't played that well.  The Packers are allowing over 8 yards per passing play, which ranks near the worst in the league.  Bradford will be throwing all game because they will be behind.  The Rams won't win, but Sam could have a nice day as a bye week fill in. 

New York Giants - Eli Manning - I expect Eli to have a bounce back week against a Bills defense that isn't that good.  They had a huge game against Philly last week, but everyone is having a big week against Philly.  Eli will rebound from the 3 pick game and lead the Giants to a win over their Northern rivals.

Sit em



Philadelphia Eagles - Michael Vick - It is no secret that the Eagles are playing poorly.  It is no secret that Vick just threw 4 picks, but most owners are probably not ready to give up on him yet, because he still produces points.  However I think this week poses a dangerous threat to Vick's potential.  The Redskins have a stout defense with Orakpo and Kerrigan come off the edge.  I also as I mentioned in our Week 6 picks, the Redskins have had 2 weeks to study the Eagles and prepare a game plan.  I think gameplan + talent = another bad day for Mike Vick and the Eagles.


Houston Texans - Arian Foster - I realize that probably no one would actually take Foster out of their lineup now that he is healthy, but he has a terrible matchup this week agaisnt the Ravens on the road.  This Ravens defense is flying around making plays all over the field.  This could be a championship defense when all is said and done this year.  Foster looks great, but he won't this week.  Especially when they don't have Andre Johnson to help stretch the field for him.  Foster will probably get less than 6 points this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ernest Graham - Some people might be inclined to grab Ernest off waivers to fill in for the injured LeGarrette Blount.  I think Graham can hold some fantasy value, but he will not be a big factor this week against the Saints.  This Saints defense is going to get better each week now that Jonathan Vilma is getting closer to being full speed.  Graham is not explosive enough to warrant a play against this Saints D.
