Fantasy Football: Play Bench (Tom Brady)

[JetNation]

The next two weeks are going to be very hard with 6 teams being on bye but we will give it a shot.  Last week was ok, I went 5-3 in the Play them and 5-4 in the Bench them.  We have our 5th bye week with the Chicago, Tennessee, Indianapolis, San Diego, Baltimore, Houston being off.  Let’s get to this week…

Play Them

Michael Vick  (11) – He may only be 80% but that is plenty good enough against the awful Giants defense.

Ben Roethlisberger (14) – He has been average at best but gets a pretty bad Raiders team in what should be nice weather.

Steven Jackson (21)- This is what you have saved him for, I would take a chance that he gets 15 touches and a TD.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis (25) – He will get his carries and I can see at least 3-4 red zone carries in a close low scoring game.

Roy Helu (30)- The Redskins should have to throw to stay in the game which mean more snaps than usually for Helu.

Terrance Williams (20)- He has taken over as the WR2 for the Cowboys and with a shaky Lions secondary the passing game is overdue to break out.

Michael Floyd (27)- He continues to get at least 6-8 targets a game but no touchdowns, that could change versus a bad Falcons defense.

Rueben Randle (18)-He has passed Nicks and seems to be a favorite of Manning especially against an Eagles defense.

Brandon Pettigrew (14)- In what should be a wide open game, he could sneak in a touchdown.

Bench Them

Tom Brady  (12) –   Miami has a top pass defense and now gets a struggling QB who is he had a different name on his back would not be fantasy worthy.

Andy Dalton (15) – He has had 2 great weeks but now gets the rising Jets, stay away.

Mike James (21)- He is getting the Panthers in his 1^st start, Martin had issues running and a lesser talent will have more.

Chris Ivory (23)- He carried the workload but I expect some hangover this week on the road.

Lamar Miller (24)- He has not carried the ball more than 12 times all year and Thomas keeps getting more snaps.

Hakeem Nicks (23) He has a great matchup but looks hurt, slow or uninterested.

Julian Edelman (24)- With Gronk back and the ghost of Amendola, this will limit his targets.

Steve Johnson (26)- He continues to be nicked up and the Saints had a week off to prepare.

Kyle Rudolph (12)- He has one good week but with Ponder back, there is no chance of another.

You Crae-Crae,

 

Miami, and their 25th ranked pass-D is giving up the 2nd most fantasy points to TE's this season.  Gronkowski had a record 17 targets against the Jets (top-10 pass defense), and still came away with 8 grabs for 114 yards.  

 

Tom has endured back-to-back losses only 3 times in the last decade, and has this thing about beating Miami, (hasn't lost to them since 2009). 

 

 

I hope he loses, and cries, and maybe endures some short term, non-debilitating aliment (like an incurable halitosis) which befuddles his wife into leaving him for me.  And, after several dates (which include heavy petting), I'll ask her to marry me.  And I'll give paparazzi exclusive access to our shotgun wedding so that Tom can't escape the coverage of our nuptials, which will be attended to in Jets jerseys.  Later in the marriage I'll leak a steamy sex-tape to TMZ shortly after getting custody of his children.  Gizzy and I will grow old together (that's what I'll call her), and I will bond with his children, earning their trust until they call me "Dad".  Then I will disappear one day without notice, just to make them all question their self-worth.  That is how much I despise Tom Brady. 

 

But as for fantasy football, and this weekend, Tom Brady is going to go OFFFFFF!!
