Butch Alsandor: December 2008 Archives
I'll be the first one to tell you I simply blew it last week. I put too many eggs in the Texans basket. They should have beaten the Raiders, but you give any team in the N.F.L. a little confidence and anything is possible. In the Raiders case it also helped to have a speedster named Johnnie Lee. But lets talk about this week. Its week 16 and that means you don't want to start any player on a team that's already clinched its playoff position. I don't care how big a stud the guy is. Brandon Jacobs, sit him. Chris Johnson of the Titans you're outta here. You're best bet is to find a solid start... Just because Burger King came up with a fragrance that makes you smell like a whopper, it doesn't mean you should be flame broiled. Likewise, just because the Raiders look and smell like a pro football team it doesn't mean they play like one. They haven't all year and the Texans are counting on them not to do it again this week. That means quarterback Matt Schaub, running back Steve Slaton, and reciever Kevin Walter should all have banner days. Why not Andre Johnson? If the Raiders don't follow this guy to the bathroom they should be banned from the league. Johnson lit up the Titans like a Christmas... If you feel like you're in trouble because your fantasy team is dealing with injuries heading into the playoffs. Things aren't really that bad. You could be Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He could have a jail cell right next to O.J. all you're trying to do is win I have a few long shots that might help you sqeak out a victory in the playoffs. In the post season the difference between winning and losing is just selecting a guy who will be on the field for the whole game. Some of these guys might even be available in your league. Keep in mind, these picks are just for owners... Its going to be cold at Lambeau Field, But Texans running back Steve Slaton will enter the game vs the Packers red hot. On Wednesday Slaton received the A.F.C. Offensive Player of the Week award. The Texans little big man is only 5'9 and 200 pounds, but he played a lot bigger than that on Monday night. Slaton rushed for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns in a victory over the Jaguars, and should keep the good times rolling vs a Packers team that has lost 4 of their last 5 games. Lets checkout some other players who should fair well in Week 14. |
