Fantasy pickups that will serve you well for week 9:
QB Robert Griffin III WAS
RGIII is a large risk, but against Minnesota he could be a very valuable asset.
RB Mark Ingram NO
Ingram dominated in week 8 coming off injury. He somehow managed to return to his pre-injury form and produce 20+ points against a strong Green Bay defense. Ingram is a must-start.
WR Brandon LaFell NE
LaFell is earning his way in the New England system though maybe not a must-start he has upside.
WR Golden Tate DET
Tate has been amazing in the fantasy world these past few weeks with Calvin Johnson out. If Johnson continues to struggle with injury, Tate will be an amazing replacement.
TE Travis Kelce KC
Kelce won't deliver big points but he will consistently get you a solid amount. If you need a guy who can score 20 points every other game, Kelce isn't for you. If you need a guy who can put up solid point in consecutive weeks, he'd be a great pick-up.
TE Larry Donnell NYG
Donell is the exact opposite of Kelce. Donnell will get you big point every few weeks, but the weeks he doesn't get those points you better be ready for a horrendous showing.
FLEX Denard Robinson JAC
I am a big fan of Robinson because in some leagues he is considered a RB/WR making him eligible for two positions. That alone should be enough to pick him up. In recent weeks he has stolen the Jags starting RB position and is notching himself up the WR depth chart.
K Chandler Cantanzaro ARI
The rookie is having a tremendous season and as long as Arian's offense still needs a field goal or two every game, he will get you easy points.
D/ST Indianapolis Colts
The Colts D has been amazing this year so it would be a miracle if they were still out in FA, but if they are, they are a must add especially with them taking on a weak Giants offense Monday.

2013 Week 6
Hello Fantasy Football players! Last week was a week of many surprises. Below will be several lists prediction a player's fantasy value for week 5.
Quarterbacks
1. Peyton Manning DEN vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Manning is having a superb season this year and is the front runner for the MVP race. He is the top scorer in most standard fantasy leagues at the moment. Going against a terrible Jaguar defense, look for manning to score over 30 points this week.
2. Tony Romo DAL vs. Washington Redskins
I don't care what you think about Romo. He is a start-worthy quarterback especially in fantasy. He dominated all leagues last week where he scored 40 fantasy points (In standard leagues). Romo is facing an overrated Redskin defense that will let Romo score above 20 points in consecutive weeks.
3. Andrew Luck IND at San Diego Chargers
Andrew Luck had a great game against the NFL's strongest defense last week. What is stopping him from dominating a much lower ranked Charger defense?
4. Alex Smith KC vs Oakland Raiders
Though this may be a little surprising, Alex Smith has impressed fantasy owners so far this season and will do it again in week 6 against a improving Oakland defense.
5. Cam Newton CAR at Minnesota Vikings
Cam Newton has had a good year so far. Even though he was shutdown by a strong Cardinals defense last week, Newton will dominate once more against a struggling Minnesota defense. Adrian Peterson will smoke the Panthers defense which will give Newton more time with the ball.
The reason why I did not rank Nick Foles or Michael Vick in those rankings are because the Bucs will shutdown any pocket-passer like Foles. They limited Carson Palmer to 13 points and that was with the offense giving up two interceptions! Vick would have dominated this week. However, Vick is questionable to play, so I did not want to risk y'all's quarterback scoring 0 points this week. However, if Vick gets the doctor to sign off, then look to start Vick this week.
Running Backs
1. Adrian Peterson MIN vs. Carolina Panthers
Adrian Peterson is having one of the most dominant fantasy years ever. Look for him to punish the Carolina defense this week.
2. Knowshon Moreno DEN vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
You might be surprised that I picked Moreno as my number 2 ovrall back, but against this disgusting Jaguar defense, both Peyton Manning and Knowshon will have 20+ point games.
3. LeSean McCoy PHI at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
McCoy will be looked to by Chip Kelly to carry the team with starting quarterback Michael Vick questionable and the Buccaneers defense specializing in shutting down opposing quarterbacks with backup Nick Foles's passing style. Anyways, McCoy will rush for a big week.
4. Matt Forte CHI at New York Giants
I picked Forte not because he is the fourth-best back in the NFL, but because the Giants run defense has been terrible thus far.
5. Jamaal Charles KC vs. Oakland Raiders
The Oakland defense is okay, but the 5-0 Kansas City will dominate offensively with weapons Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe, and Dexter McCluster. But we aren't talking about the Oakland defense. Jamaal has shown that he is very trustworthy back this year scoring 20+ points every week so far (in standard leagues). Charles will get the carries to have a definite 15+ point game this week.
Wide Receivers
1. Wes Welker DEN vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Even though Welker had a disappointing week in Dallas, Welker is still Manning's number 1 receiver and he is also playing the Jacksonville defense.
2. Dez Bryant DAL vs. Washington Redskins
Dez is coming off a great week and has one of the most powerful connections with Tony Romo. When Romo is in trouble he is throwing to Bryant... or of course Jason Witten.
3. Reggie Wayne IND vs. San Diego Chargers
Wayne is Luck's top target and will continue to be against the Chargers defense. IF you really want to bet on the Colts this week, start both Wayne and T.Y. Hilton.
4. Alshon Jefferey CHI at New York Giants
New York is lacking a good defense... and offense. The Giants are completely terrible. However, Tom Coughlin will probaby double-team star receiver Brandon Marshall which could bring Jeffrey's fantasy potential this week way up.
5. Brandon Marshall CHI at New York Giants
The Bears are going against the Giants this week. The Giants' defense would probably play better with nobody on the field. Though I did list Alshon Jeffrey above Marshall because Coughlin will probably double-team Brandon, even with a double-team Marshall can manage 13+ points his week.
Tight Ends
1. Jason Witten DAL vs. Washington Redskins
Jason Witten is coming off a pretty good week against a very strong Broncos defense. Now that the Cowboys have an easier matchup, Witten might be able to get a few more targets and a few more yards.
2. Jordan Cameron CLE vs. Detroit Lions
Cameron has emerged this year as a dominant fantasy TE for the Browns. Look for Cameron to dominate against a shaky Detroit defense.
3. Julius Thomas DEN vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Julius Thomas pair with Jordan Cameron as the top two tight ends to emerge this season. Manning has found a new weapon in Thomas and will use him more as the season progresses
4. Greg Olsen CAR at Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings have a terrible pass defense and Cam Newton will be sure to hook up with star tight end Greg Olsen who has done a great job of getting open this season. With Olsen's separation skills and Newton's accuracy, look for Olsen to have a 10+ point game.
5. Jermaine Gresham/Tyler Eifert CIN at Buffalo Bills
Gresham and Eifert were Dalton's favorite targets against the Patriots. The bond between these young tight ends and their quarterback will only grow in the passing weeks. Gresham and Eifert will both have 10+ point games.
D/ST
1. Denver Broncos vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Broncos are a top-caliber defense and special teams. Trindon Holliday is one of the best at returning kickoffs and the defense lead by several players including Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie, Ayers, Von Miller, Champ Bailey, and Charles Johnson has held opponents to under 15 points every game this season apart from Tony Romo's Cowboys 48 point performance. The Broncos are playing the weakest team in the NFL.
2. Chicago Bears vs. New York Giants
Chicago has a underrated defense which has played superbly almost every game this season. Julius Peppers and Lance Briggs are forming one of the most formidable defenses in the NFL. It also helps their fantasy value that they are playing the weak New York Giants.
3. Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders
The Chiefs have one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL and it will certainly help when they played either the unhealthy Terrelle Pryor or the interception-prone backup Matt Flynn.
4. Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins
The Cowboys defense has excelled with their starters back 100% healthy. It hasn't hurt that Monte Kiffin is calling the best shots of his life right now. Look for the Boys to get pressure on RGIII and dominate early.
5. San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals
I am sorry Cardinals fans, but the 49ers defense will shutdown newly aacquired quarterback CArsn Palmer with ease. The only two factors the Cardinals offense have on their side are rookie RB Andre Ellington and star WR Larry Fitzgerald..
Kickers
1. Alex Henery PHI at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2. Sebastian Janikowski OAK at Kansas City Chiefs
3. Garret Hartley NO at New England Patriots
4. David Akers DET at Cleveland Browns
5. Dan Bailey DAL vs. Washington Redskins
And that is this weeks fantasy report! Til next week.

Friday, September 28, 2012
Let's start with quarterbacks.
1. Robert Griffin III is going to have another impressive performance this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
2. Tom Brady takes on the Buffalo Bills defense which to say the least the best in passing defense.
3. Matt Ryan has dominated so far and looks to continue his domination Sunday.
4. Flacco might not seem like the smart choice in week 3, but as he takes on the Cleveland Browns he will be a top fantasy quarterback if the Baltimore offensive line can protect Flacco.
5. Shaun Hill. With Matthew Stafford injured going into week 3 Hill looks to be starting quarterback. Hill finished solid for the Lions last week finding Titus Young for a last-second hail mary touchdown. He marches into week 3 confident.
Now, going to the running backs.
1. Arian Foster. Even though he is sharing 1/4 of the snaps with Ben Tate, he is still a dominate rusher in the NFL and looks to prove his point this week to show that he can perform 3 weeks in a row.
2. Stevan Ridley. Almost all fantasy owners have ignored him so far, but he has produced big time. As the starting running back for the Patriots he had a phenomenal game in week 1, but didn't perform in week 2. Ridley is a risky starter, but a definite must-have.
3. Trent Richardson. He may not have had the best season so far, and you are probably wondering why you would start him against a talented Baltimore defense. I have the answer Trent Richardson has been a sleeper so far and he will get most of the touches Monday with the Ravens defense being absolutely stunning in the passing categories.
Wide Receivers.
1. Calvin Johnson. Johnson has had a disappointing season so far, but he has shown a huge burst of hope in week 2. Now with the inexperienced Hill at quarterback he definitely will have a lot of targets this week.
2. Larry Fitzgerald defenitely fantasy's second top receiver from the start. Because of Whisenhut's new offensive scheme, Fitzgerald has been thrown to less by quarterbacks John Skelton and Kevin Kolb. But he has a big week ahead of him and Kolb under pressure will look to Fitzgerald more.
3. A.J. Green. Last week's performance has shot this two year veteran all the way to the top! Green has had a magnificent performances this season and so far,no bad days for him.
