Upgrades/Downgrades

Week 9

Upgrades

  • Anquan Boldin - Got 50 yards last week in first week back from injury. Look for him to be more in a grove this week.
  • Eddie George - Going against the Cincy D, Eddie should have a good day.
  • Keyshawn Johson - He is the about the only healthy receiver left on the Cowboys. Don't look for the Bengals to shut him down this week.
  • Chad Johnson - Will be going against his cousin Keyshawn, so look for him to try to have a big game.
  • Priest Holmes - Despite being a highly ranked D, the Bucs interior run defense is not stout. Look for Holmes and the Chiefs to wear the Bucs down with the run and short passes to Holmes.
  • Michael Pittman - Going against the KC run defense who makes weekly stars out of nobodys. Look for Pittman to have an above average day if Tampa can keep the score close.
  • Willis McGahee - Had a nice start last week and look for him to continue to carry the load for the Bills.
  • Keary Colbert - Rookie has been making nice progress. Look for that to continue against the Raiders.
  • Duce Staley - Philly's run D is not that tough and it will show this week.
  • Jerome Bettis - See Duce Staley.
  • Terrell Owens - The problems in the Steeler secondary have been well documented. If McNabb evades the rush, there will be big plays.
  • Plaxico Burress - Rothlesberger's favorite target.
  • Roy Williams - Sat out last week, look for his to suit up against the Skins.
  • Joey Harrington - If Williams plays, Harrington's numbers will be respectable.
  • Tiki Barber - Chicago's D shouldn't slow him down at home.
  • Ladanian Tomlinson - New Orleans hasn't stopped anyone this year.
  • Drew Breese - Getting hot and the Saints proabably won't slow him down.
  • Keenan McCardell - His third week with his new team should be a break out game.
  • Tim Rattay - Listed as probably so should start this game.
  • Eric Johnson - Puts up better numbers when Rattay is QB.
  • Matt Hasselback - SF should provide him a good opportunity to pad his stats.
  • Shawn Alexander - Should have a big day against a susceptible Niners D.
  • Jamal Lewis - The Browns corralled him once, don't count on it happening again.
  • Todd Heap - Could play this week vs. Cleveland.

 


Downgrades

  • Travis Henry - McGahee is taking carries away and may be the starter the rest of the way.
  • Larry Fitzgerald - The return of Anquan Boldin compounded by facing a tough Miami D doesn't bode well for the rookie.
  • Rudi Johnson - Dallas has a tough run D and the Bengal O-line hasn't looked all that great this year.
  • Carson Palmer - Parcells D will try to take the run away and put pressure on Palmer. This may force him into some mistakes.
  • Johnnie Morton - Tampa's Cover two scheme won't allow for many downfield plays.
  • Trent Green - Look for KC to win this game on the ground, not through the air.
  • Stephen Davis - Listed as questionable this week, probably won't get many carries.
  • Brian Westbrook - Even if healthy, don't expect much against the Steelerl's run D.
  • Dorsey Levens - See Brian Westbrook.
  • Kevin Jones - Facing one of the best run defenses in Washington.
  • Emmit Smith - consider sitting him against the Miami D, even if the don't have Junior anymore.
  • Jerry Rice - Injured ankle and the unexpected presence of Koren Robinson detract from his value as an impact fantasy player.
  • Lee Suggs - Not getting the bulk of the carries and facing the Ravens D.
  • Jeff Garcia - Facing a tough Ravens D, on the road, at night.
