My Fantasy picks for this weekend:

For this weeks fantasy picks a couple of them are players who are getting their first starts in this year in an NFL game. I think they will have big games.

    1) QB Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos:

Yes a lot of people think Tebow is going to stink as an NFL quarternback and although I don’t think he is an awesome QB I do think he is a winner and that’s what you need on your team especially if you are the the Denver Broncos. In his first start he is going up against a bad Miami Dolphins team so that should help out his confidence going into his next start. I think Tebow will have a good game running and passing against the Dolphins. I am pretty sure the Dolphins are going to blitz their asses off trying to get to him but like I said he is a winner and he will figure out a way around.

     2) RB DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys:

The Cowboys running game has been non existent this season so far except in one game but today they go up against the St. Louis Rams probably the worst team in the NFL right now. With Felix Jones out with numerous injuries Rookie DeMarco Murray will get the start with Tashard Choice getting a few carries. In their last game when Felix hurt his ankle Murray came in  and did a very decent job filling in for him and I believe that’s what made the coaches choose him over Choice this week. DeMarco Murray will have a big game in his first NFL start, if he was on my fantasy team I would definitely start him against the Rams.

            3) Def/ST Dallas Cowboys

Today Rob Ryan, Mr. Overweight Fabio’s defense will have a big game today against the St. Louis Rams. The Rams are horrible and are averaging the worst PPG than any other team in the NFL. Not only that but their QB Sam Bradford is hurt and has been in a walking boot all week. If he starts the defense will be going nuts on him and if he doesn’t then the defense is going to go nuts on A.J. Feeley. I am anticipating a big game from LB’s DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer. Sean Lee may get another pick this week!! As for the Dallas special teams unit I am not sure on them because they released their return guy rookie Duane Harris this week. They have been trying Ogletree but he is worthless I think. The coaches have said they have been thinking of putting WR Dez Bryant back there, if they do then I am definitely looking forward to that because he is an awesome punt returner. I don’t care if he’s your starting WR, you have to play your best players at any position and he is the best punt returner on the team.

Well there are my picks people, let me know your picks and go ahead and let me know if you think I am stupid for some of my picks.

Let’s talk football!!!

There are my winning picks. Now for my fantasy studs and duds this week.

STUDS:

QB Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions:

He is going up against the Dallas Cowboys defense and a defense whose defensive backs suck more than a vacuum cleaner. Even though they have Terrance Newman back he is still not 100% and Mike Jenkins is the biggest pussy in the NFL, I swear he gets hurt every other play. I still think the Cowboys will win this game but Stafford and MegaTron will have a big day.

RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings:

Peterson will playing against the Kansas City Chiefs, enough said!!

 

DUDS:

QB Jason Campbell, Oakland Raiders:

I think the New England Patriots are pissed that Fitzpatrick and the Bills lit them up last week and they are gonna take it out on Campbell. I like the Raiders play this year but I feel like this is going to be a bad game for them.

QB Mark Sanchez, New York Jets: 

I don’t really like Mark Sanchez any week, I just don’t think he is a good QB. But this week he is playing the Ravens defense who absolutely harassed Big Ben and they are gonna keep knocking down Sanchez and punishing him and making him trigger happy and that leads to picks and 3 and outs. I might actually feel bad for Nasty Sanchez this week.

 

Well those are my picks for this week. If you agree or disagree on any games feel free to let me know.

 

Let’s go COWBOYS!!!!!

My Week 2 NFL Picks Winners and Fantasy Studs

After not being on for Week 1 of the NFL season I am back to make my Week 2 NFL picks. I will be picking my winners for each game of Week 2 in the NFL. Also after my picks I will post my predictions for who I will think will have a good Fantasy Week in Fantasy Football.

All my winners will be in bold italic print.

Let me know if you disagree with some picks or give me your picks on some games. Also tell me who you think will have an awesome weekend in Fantasy football.

 

 

NFL WEEK 2

Sunday, Sept 18th

Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Oakland Raiders vs. Buffalo Bills

Arizona Cardinals vs. Washington Redskins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Jets

Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints

Green Bay Packers vs. Carolina Panthers

Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions

Cleveland Browns vs. Indianapolis Colts

Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Denver Broncos

San Diego Chargers vs. New England Patriots

Houston Texans vs. Miami Dolphins

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons

Monday, Sept 19th

St. Louis Rams vs. New York Giants

 

Well those are my picks for Week 2 now my Fantasy Players for Week 2.

STUDS:

RB Peyton Hillis, Cleveland Browns

With the way the Houston Texans RB’s ran all over the Colts defense I feel Peyton Hillis will have a great game. The Texans RB’s were all backups, just imagine how bad it would have been if Arian Foster was playing. I think it will be bad this week too as Peyton Hillis will run all over the Colts.

QB Matt Schaub, Houston Texans

He is not Tom Brady by any means but he is a pretty damn good QB and he has probably the best receiver in the game with Andre Johnson and with the way the Dolphins defense let the Patriots passing game do to the them, I thinks it’s going to be another rough day for the DB’s. Not to mention Arian Foster will more than likely be back and that just makes the passing game even stronger with even one trying to stop him.

 

DUDS:

QB Mike Vick, Philadelphia Eagles

I think Mike Vick is going to have a horrible game against his former team. They know Vick and they know how he plays and the Falcons have a better defense than the Rams. I do not buy into this “Dream Team” that they have, I have heard this story before down when someone decided to take their “talents” to South Beach and it didn’t work out to well for them. Vick might have a good game on the ground but I don’t think his overall game is gonna go to well.

RB Chris Johnson or any other Tennessee Titans RB’s

They are going up against the Baltimore Ravens defense and they just absolutely murdered the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. I don’t think Chris Johnson or any other Titan RB is going to have much yardage against this squad. It is going to be a long day for the whole Titans offense.

 

Well there it is. If you have any opinions let me know. Let me know your picks and what you think!!!
