JetNation Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Last week I was able to go 6-4 for the Overachievers highlighted by Alfred Morris, Willis McGahee and Torrey Smith while going 8-2 for under achievers being led by Tony Romo, Steven Jackson, and Kenny Britt. Overachievers Philip Rivers (11)-If he does not break out versus the Saints, it may never happen, they are the 6th worst defensive team against quarterbacks. Ben Roethlisberger (12)- He is off to a career best start, and I can see it continuing especially off the bye. Ahmad Bradshaw (20)-He looked healthy and get’s to play a Brown defense which is ranked in the middle of the pack versus running back’s. Ryan Williams (24)-This si another guy that if he will break out it will be against the porous Rams run defense. Donald Brown (27)-He is rested off the bye week and if the Colts want to keep it close versus the Packers, he should get 15-20 touches. Eric Decker (21)-He received a lot of attention from Peyton Manning last week and gets the 9th worst pass defense versus wide receivers. Domenik Hixon (31)-Hakeem Nicks is out again and he stepped up very nicely while getting a nice matchup versus the Browns. Jerome Simpson (37)-He had a nice start to his season last week and gets the Titans defense. Brent Celek (12)- The Steelers have had issues with covering the tight end position, should open things up for Celek. Jared Cook (17)-The Vikings are ranked in the bottom 7 in defense against tight ends and Hasselbeck is a big Cook fan. Underachievers Matt Schaub (14)-Even without Revis the jets have been tough on opposing quarterbacks, expecting a blowout and limited passing production. Christian Ponder (15)-He has put up a solid season but they are playing a very conservative game and expect pedestrian numbers. Fred Jackson (22)-He may get a few catches but the 49ers are the best defense against running backs. Deangelo Williams (26)-He is very hit or miss and I can see Stewart getting more touches especially in the red zone. Rashard Mendenhall (29)-This will be his 1st game back, I would wait and see how healthy and how effective he looks before plugging him in your lineup. Andre Brown (33)-After only 5 touches last week, he looks to be an afterthought and cannot be started until there is another injury. Pierre Garcon (24)-He is still not healthy and will be used as more of a decoy. Jeremy Maclin (28)-He does not look right and seems to be there to open up the lanes for Desean Jackson. Anquan Boldn (32)-He is coming off a huge game on national TV; I would expect him back to his normal pedestrian output. Heath Miller (12)-The Eagles are the 3rd best defense against tight ends, look in another direction for you starting tight end this week. Thank you for reading all year and I hope my advice is helpful whether here or on Twitter. Good Luck!
