Players I Love - by Brian (Bum #2)

Peyton Manning/Reggie Wayne/Dallas Clark
Jags have given up 4th most passing TDs this season

Maurice Jones-Drew
Colts are 25th against the run and MJD is hot

Drew Brees/Marques Colston
Against the Lions?? Hell yeah!!

Pierre Thomas
No Reggie Bush. Facing the Lions. Playing hot. Thomas might be the safest bet of all this week.

Ronnie Brown
He's up agains the Chiefs who have allowed 22 rushing TDs this season. Bit day's a comin'!!

Matt Cassell
Arizona has allowed the most passing TDs of any team this season. Too good a matchup to pass up.

Frank Gore
If he plays, and it is IF, the matchup will be provide monster numbers for Frank Gore

Antonio Bryant
He may be the hottest WR right now. The Chargers are the 2nd worst team against the pass. I'd love Garcia too, if I knew he was going to play.

Thomas Jones
He might be the best player in fantasy football this season. The Seahawks stink, and Jones is the best of the Jets

All Texans - especially Steve Slaton
Up against the Raiders. I wish I had a Texan or 2 on my team.

Marshawn Lynch
He's had a decent season, and now he gets the Broncos D, which is 27th against the run.

Adrian Peterson
An obvious love every week.

DeAngelo Williams
He's as hot as it gets right now, plus the Giants are struggling a bit against the run lately.   I don't expect much out our of the passing game for the Panthers, which means even more DeAngelo

Greg Jennings
The Bears pass D stinks.   I mean really stinks.   Jenning is gonna go off.

Matt Forte
Green Bay is 26th agains the run.   Plus, Forte excells in the passing game.   Forte is gonna be huge

Players I Like

LaRon McClain
I want to love him, but the Cowboys haven't allowed a rushing TD in 5 games

Calvin Johnson
A monster talent, who has played well no matter who is throwing him the ball. Kitna, Henson, Culpepper, Orlovsky, or Stanton. And the Saints D isn't all that.

Davone Bess
Great Matchup against the Chiefs ranked 30th against the pass. He's getting a ton of targets too.

Dewayne Bowe/Tony Gonzalez
Miami seems to struggle a bit against the pass, and Thigpen seems to throw to just Bowe and Gonzalez.

Kurt Warner/Larry Fitzgerald/Anquan Boldin
It'd be easy to love these guys every week, but in New England, the weather could be a factor and hamper thier overall performance

Sammy Morris
He's scored in 3 straight games, and the Cards can be ran on.

Shaun Hill/Isaac Bruce
Bruce is up against his old team. Plus these 2 have developed a nice chemistry. The Rams stink, so the matchup is nice

Torry Holt
I normally don't like Rams, but the 49ers are 25th against the pass. Holt still has ability and will have a decent day

Phillip Rivers
He's hot right now. He's had 10 muti-TD games. But agains the Bucs, who are 3rd against the pass, I can't love him. Just like.

T.J. Houschmanzadah
He's a bit banged up, so that's why it's only a like. The matchup is awesome for him. Housh gets tons of targets, and should do well against Cleveland

Brett Favre/Laverneous Coles/Jericho Cotchery
The Seahawks have the worst pass D in the league. The Jets passing game should take advantage

Lee Evans
Usually plays well in December, he has struggled with Losman at QB. But Trent Edwards is back, and Evans will be rewarded.

Jay Cutler/Brandon Marshall/Eddie Royal
Saying they are a pass first team, is like saying the media was in the tank for Obama.  Very obvious.

Roddy White
I want to love him agains the Vikings.   The Vikes are the best in the game at stopping the run, so I expect the Falcons to throw more.    I'd love him, but Roddy hasn't scored in the past 5 games.

Brian Westbrook/Donovan McNabb
Both are playing extremely well right now.   But the Skins do have a decent D

Aaron Rodgers
The Bears pass D is 28th in the league.   The Pack might be losing a lot, but Rodgers is still performing

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Players I Hate

David Garrard
Colts are 7th against the pass and have allowed only 5 passing TDs all season

Joe Flacco
Cowboys D is hot right now. The Ravens need this one, and I don't think the rookie will be up to it

Ben Roethlisberger
He hasn't been lighting it up from a fantasy standpoint anyway, and now he's up against the Titans, ranked 5 against the pass

Chris Chambers
He is, at best, the 3rd option in San Diego now. And the Bucs pass D is 3rd best in the league. Chambers is the Bolt that takes the hit

Warrick Dunn
This is just a minor hate. He'll get decent yardage, but once in the red zone, he disappears for Cadillac Williams.

All Bengals not named Houshmanzadah
For obvious reasons

All Browns not named Jamal Lewis or Braylon Edwards. See above.

Leon Washington
I want to like him. He is very talented and does a lot for the Jets. Problem is, he is averaging about 1 carry a game

Jamarcus Russell
Maybe the worst QB in the game, and now it sounds like he won't have his tope 2 WRs.

Jason Campbell
His O-line is banged up and the Eagles are gonna come at him all day long.    Gonna be a long day for Campbell

All Panthers not named Steve Smith and DeAngelo Williams
The Giants D is very solid.  And I'm not sold on Jonathan Stewart, especially with Williams playing so well

Eli Manning
The Panther pass D is good.   The Panther pass rush is good.   Plus, since Plaxico is gone, the Giants don't have a guy who can get open deep

The Bears passing game
It's just really ugly
