Photo By: Thomas Campbell / US PRESSWIRE We should have another defensive driven game between the Steelers and Ravens this week. After posting 55 points against the Raiders, Joe Flacco and the Ravens are flying high coming into this important contest. Of course, no one should expect the same results this week as Baltimore will face a Pittsburgh defense that has played like a top five unit in recent weeks. N ...

By Photo: Dale Zanine / US PRESSWIRE A big win on the road last week, it was the Cowboys special teams and defense that put the game away scoring the teams final 21 points. An opportunity to keep their playoff hopes alive, expect Dallas to come out with another solid defensive performance at home against the Browns. The play of inside linebacker Bruce Carter is making an impact of late as he posted ten solo ...

Photo By: Steven Bisig / US PRESSWIRE For the third-straight week Marshawn Lynch went over the century mark in the Seahawks victory over the Vikings. Almost 900 yards on the season, Lynch is one of the league leaders and it appears he has a shot to win the rushing title by years end. Why not, as the Seahawks are tied to the running game as rookie Russel Wilson plays better at home but is not at a point in h ...

Photo By: David Richard / US PRESSWIRE Someone in Cincinnati needs to step up as a consistent No.2 option in the passing game. While Jermaine Gresham has the ability to be that option, he needs to show us he can put together consistent numbers. Three weeks ago Gresham had 68 yards and a score, only to go for 19 yards before the teams bye week. Gresham bounced back against the Broncos with six receptions for ...

Photo By: The Star Ledger / US PRESSWIRE It's been a bad few weeks for fantasy owners with Eli Manning but if there's a time to give up on him in your lineup, this isn't the week. We should expect to hear those in the media talk about the possibility of Manning being in a "slump" but he's playing the Bengals this week people. Two weeks ago, the Giants built up a 23 to nothing score against the Cowboys becau ...

Photo By: Bruce Kluckhohn / US PRESSWIRE Last week was a big test for Blair Walsh's fantasy value as the Vikings traveled to Seattle. While Christian Ponder continued to struggle, the Vikings offense continued to move the football because of Adrian Peterson's outstanding play. Walsh converted both of his field-goal opportunities and yet again blasted another attempt over 50 yards, this one from 55-yards out ...

Photo By: David Richard / US PRESSWIRE If Forrest Gump were an NFL annalist he would probably say, "the Raiders are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna to get." With that said the Ravens defense sets up to be a boom or bust start option this week on defense. Give some credit to the Ravens for holding the Browns out of the end zone last week. Part of their success was the youth in Cleve ...

Photo By: Greg M. Cooper / US PRESSWIRE The Bills have struggled to say the least against the run this year and the way New England uses there running backs, we should consider Shane Vereen as a flex option. Keep an eye on Brandon Bolden status through practice this week, but I have a feeling Vereen has earned the right to be the primary backup to Stevan Ridley, even if Bolden is healthy. Even Danny Woodhea ...

Photo By: Brett Davis / US PRESSWIRE Andre Johnson has failed to haul in a touchdown for five straight weeks. Fantasy owners have to be disappointed in Johnson's numbers this year, but credit a stingy defense and a terrific running game as some of the reasons for Houston's failure to give him more work. Then again, Johnson has no less than eight receptions in each of his past three games, and had his second ...

Photo By: Daniel Shirey / US PRESSWIRE Brandon Myers only received three targets against the Chiefs but credit his light usage to the Raiders posting a rare big lead on their opponent. On the other hand, Myers did made the most of his opportunities with three receptions for 49 yards on the day. While Denarius Moore is starting to emerge as the Raiders top receiver and Darrius Heyward-Bey has successfully re ...
