2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 17

24 December 2012

760 Packers v Buccaneers
.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Toby Gerhart, RB, Minnesota Vikings
Gerhart ran for 31 yards and a touchdown. He added a five-yard catch. Adrian Peterson is still chasing history so Gerhart won’t get meaningful touches in Week 17.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Ryan Grant, RB, Green Bay Packers
Grant ran for 80 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also had a 34-yard catch. He was the workhorse against the Tennessee Titans, and should see plenty of carries against the Minnesota Vikings this week. If you’re in a pinch, he is a solid fill-in.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Bernard Pierce, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Pierce ran for 123 yards. He got extra work in because the Ravens pounded the New York Giants.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Greg Little, WR, Cleveland Browns
Little caught six of seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown. He has had three solid weeks in a row. Unfortunately, he wraps the season up against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Josh Morgan, WR, Washington Redskins
Morgan caught two of his five targets for 21 yards and a score. He added a seven-yard run. Pierre Garcon is the only Redskins receiver that provides consistent production.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Jordan Shipley, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Shipley caught five of 10 targets for 82 yards. He was playing the Patriots, who can’t stop the pass. This is not typical production.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Lance Kendricks, TE, St. Louis Rams
Kendricks caught four of five targets for 119 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight game with a score. I don’t like him in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 16

17 December 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Sam Bradford, QB, St. Louis Rams
Bradford threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns. The Rams play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week so Bradford is a decent option if you are in need at quarterback.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington Redskins
Cousins filled in admirably for Robert Griffin III against the Cleveland Browns, throwing for 329 yards and two touchdowns. He even ran for 22 yards. RG3 should be back next week so Cousins’ usefulness is short-lived.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks
RG3 didn’t play today, but it sure looked liked he did in Toronto. Wilson threw for 205 yards and a touchdown. He really did damage with his feet though. Russell ran for 92 yards and three touchdowns. Next week he faces the San Francisco so temper your expectations.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Curtis Brinkley, RB, San Diego Chargers
Brinkley ran for 42 yards and had 14 receiving yards. If Ryan Mathews and Ronnie Brown are out, Brinkley is worth considering.
Ruling: Wait and see.
.
Mike Tolbert, RB, Carolina Panthers
Tolbert ran for 40 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also had 24 yards receiving. He doesn’t typically get enough use for fantasy teams.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Brandon Gibson, WR, St. Louis Rams
Gibson caught six of his eight targets for 76 yards. He had 100 yards and a touchdown the previous week. With the Bucs on tap, he’s worth considering.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Leonard Hankerson, WR, Washington Redskins
Hankerson caught two of his three targets for 56 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He’s not a reliable fantasy option next week against the Philadelphia Eagles as RG3 spreads the ball around so much.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Joe Morgan, WR, New Orleans Saints
Morgan caught two of three targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. There are too many other mouths to feed in New Orleans.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Dwayne Allen, TE, Indianapolis Colts
Allen caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and a touchdown. He is not getting enough looks to be a viable fantasy option in your league’s championship.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Anthony Fasano, TE, Miami Dolphins
Fasano caught six of seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight game with a score. I’d still look elsewhere.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Lance Kendricks, TE, St. Louis Rams
Kendricks caught three of his five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. There are better tight end options out there.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Zach Miller, TE, Seattle Seahawks
Miller caught all three of his targets for 26 yards and a touchdown. Even though it’s the second straight game he’s scored, I’d look elsewhere.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 15

10 December 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Nick Foles, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
Foles threw for 381 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He plays the Cincinnati Bengals next week so there isn’t much need to add him.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Montell Owens, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Owens ran for 91 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets. He caught a pass for 11 yards as well. Next week’s game against the Miami Dolphins will be tough, but he can bu used if you’re in a pinch.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets
Powell ran for 78 yards and a touchdown, giving him four solid games in a row. He’s sharing with Shonn Greene so he’s a risky play, but is an option if you need a running back and your picking are slim.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Robert Turbin, RB, Seattle Seahawks
Turbin ran for 108 yards as the Seahawks destroyed the Arizona Cardinals. They face the Buffalo Bills next week, but I wouldn’t count on him as even a flex play.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
David Wilson, RB, New York Giants
Wilson got things started with a long kickoff return for a touchdown. He ran for 100 yards and two more touchdowns. He had an amazing day, but it’s hard to say what his role will be next week.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Jason Avant, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Avant caught seven of 12 targets for 133 yards. That’s two solid games in a row, but he’s not a recommended play against the Bengals next week.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Brandon Gibson, WR, St. Louis Rams
Gibson caught six of nine passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. He didn’t catch a pass in the previous two games. He’s not a reliable option in the fantasy football playoffs.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland Browns
Gordon caught eight of 12 targets for 86 yards. He’s averaging 5.8 receptions for 78.8 yards in his past four games.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Andrew Hawkins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Hawkins caught six of 11 targets for 44 yards and a touchdown. He’s a marginal option in PPR leagues, but can be left alone in most standard leagues.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Alshon Jeffrey, WR, Chicago Bears
Jeffrey caught three of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. He’s a high risk guy going forward, but has plenty of upside.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Joe Morgan, WR, New Orleans Saints
Morgan caught both of his targets for 106 yards. He doesn’t do enough to be on a fantasy team.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Rod Streater, WR, Oakland Raiders
Streater caught four of his seven targets for 100 yards, including a 58-yard grab. He caught three passes for 96 yards in Week 13, including a 64-yards catch. He’s a solid deep threat, but a risky fantasy play.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Jared Cook, TE, Tennessee Titans
Cook caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown. He has had four decent games in a row, but is a risky play next week.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Anthony McCoy, TE, Seattle Seahawks
McCoy caught all three of his targets for 105 yards. This was not his typical game.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 14

3 December 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks
Wilson threw for 293 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also ran for 71 yards. Wilson has multiple touchdown passes in his last five games. He’s a decent bench option that you could possibly start in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills.
Ruling: Get ‘em
.
Brady Quinn, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns in an emotional win for Kansas City. He also ran for 12 yards. He doesn’t belong on a fantasy roster though.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Peyton Hillis, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Hillis scored a touchdown, but only ran for 19 yards on 12 carries (1.6 yards per carry). He caught one pass for nine yards. He’s not worth a roster spot yet.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Chris Givens, WR, St. Louis Rams
Givens caught 11 of 14 targets for 92 yards. He provides solid WR depth.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland Browns
Gordon caught six of seven targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. That is three straight games with 50-plus yards. He’s risky, but he’s playing well.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Rod Streater, WR, Oakland Raiders
Streater caught three of four targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. He didn’t catch a ball the previous week.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Dallas Clark, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Clark scored for the third time in four weeks. He’s really been playing like a TE1 of late.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Tony Moeaki, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
Moeaki caught all four of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. He’s averaging 58.8 yards in his past four games, making him a decent TE2. It was also his seventh time in the last eight games with at least 50 yards.
Ruling: Get ‘em.

2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 13

26 November 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Chad Henne, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Henne threw for 261 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He did throw one pick. He has some decent weapons and is worth a look as a backup fantasy quarterback.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ers
Kaepernick threw for 231 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 27 yards and a score. He’s a solid fantasy QB2.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Michael Bush, RB, Chicago Bears
Bush ran for 60 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. With Matt Forte banged up, Bush looks like a must-add.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Charles Clay, RB, Miami Dolphins
Clay caught all six of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown. Look elsewhere.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Justin Forsett, RB, Houston Texans
Forsett ran for 87 yards and a touchdown on five carries. He should have been ruled down. He should not be on your fantasy team.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver Broncos
It was Moreno that took over for Willis McGahee. He ran for 85 yards on 20 carries. He added four catches for 26 yards. Grab him immediately.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Rodgers had 10 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown. He added two receptions for 30 yards. He’s worth stashing as Michael Turner continues to struggle.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Shane Vereen, RB, New England Patriots
Vereen had 42 yards on 10 carries. He added two receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown. He has three touchdowns in the past four games, but with only about 10 touches per game he is a risky option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Beanie Wells, RB, Arizona Cardinals
Beanie ran for 48 yards and two touchdowns. He’s worth grabbing if available.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Ryan Broyles, WR, Detroit Lions
Broyles took advantage of Titus Young’s absence to the tune of six catches on 12 targets for 126 yards. If Young remains in the doghouse, Broyles is a decent option.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Julian Edelman, WR, New England Patriots
Edelman caught two passes on three targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. He also returned a fumble to the house. I just don’t know that I trust him the way Bill Belichick mixes things up.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Chris Givens, WR, St. Louis Rams
Givens caught five of six targets for 115 yards and a touchdown. He has big play potential, but is a risky option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Aldrick Robinson, WR, Washington Redskins
Robinson had a 68-yard touchdown. It was his only catch. Look elsewhere.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Sanu caught five of nine targets for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns. That gives him four scores in the past three games. He’s a risk because he doesn’t provide much yardage.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Rob Housler, TE, Arizona Cardinals
Housler caught eight of 11 targets for 82 yards. He’s hardly a fantasy option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 12

19 November 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Chad Henne, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Henne threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns. I still don’t trust their offense.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Bryce Brown, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
Brown ran for 35 yards on five carries. LeSean McCoy was concussed so Brown could get the start this week.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver Broncos
Hillman ran for 43 yards on 12 carries. He added two catches for 16 yards. He’s worth a grab if Willis McGahee misses any action.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints
The Saints have a muddy backfield, but Ingram is coming on as the primary back. He ran for 67 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Jalen Parmele, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Parmele ran for 84 yards on 24 carries. Starting running backs should be on roster.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets
Powell ran for 42 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. He added two catches for 18 yards. He’s not a great option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers
Starks carried the ball 25 times for 74 yards. He added a six-yard reception. He’s worth a roster spot because of his volume of touches.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Danario Alexander, WR, San Diego Chargers
Alexander caught seven of 11 targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns. He’s heating up and should be owned.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Davone Bess, WR, Miami Dolphins
Bess caught six of 11 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown. It was his first score of the year. He provides decent depth, especially in PPR leagues. He has the Patriots coming up in a few weeks. He always plays them well.
Ruling: Get ‘em (especially PPR leagues).
.
Justin Blackmon, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Blackmon caught seven of 13 targets for 236 yards and a touchdown. It’s hard not to add a guy after an explosion like that.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Julian Edelman, WR, New England Patriots
Edelman caught five of seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown. He added a 47-yard run. He doesn’t do enough for a fantasy spot.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Brandon Gibson, WR, St. Louis Rams
Gibson caught three of five targets for nine yards and two touchdowns. He’s not a great option despite the pair of scores.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Hilton caught six of nine targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns. He didn’t catch a pass the previous week so consistency could be an issue. That’s two 100-yard games in three weeks though.
Ruling: Get ‘em
.
Brandon LaFell, WR, Carolina Panthers
LaFell caught five of seven targets for 93 yards and a touchdown. He’s coming on and should be rostered.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Sanu caught two of four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight week scoring, but he is not producing enough for a fantasy spot.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Chaz Schilens, WR, New York Jets
Schilens caught four of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. I don’t trust the Jets’ passing game.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Dallas Clark, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Clark caught seven of 11 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown. He has three scores in the past five games. He’s a decent TE2.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Jermichael Finley, TE, Green Bay Packers
Finley caught all three of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. The bye week served him well.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Garrett Graham, TE, Houston Texans
Graham caught eight of nine targets for 82 yards and two touchdowns. That is not the norm for Graham.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Tony Moeaki, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
Moeaki caught four of six targets for 73 yards. He had 68 yards last week, but is still a low-end option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Benjamin Watson, TE, Cleveland Browns
Watson caught four of eight targets for 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It was only his second time topping 40 yards and he had one touchdown prior.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 11

12 November 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Chris Ivory, RB, New Orleans Saints
Ivory ran for 72 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. He added a 13-yard catch. He doesn’t get enough opportunities.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Danario Alexander, WR, San Diego Chargers
Alexander caught five of seven targets for 134 yards and a touchdown. He has a ton of talent and has a chance to do some solid things. Staying healthy, which has been an issue in the past, will be the key.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Donald Jones, WR, Buffalo Bills
Jones caught six of ten targets for 74 yards and a touchdown. He’s particularly solid in PPR leagues, but probably isn’t worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues.
Ruling: Get ‘em (PPR), Don’t Sweat ‘em (Standard)
.
Laurent Robinson, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Robinson was targeted 15 times in the loss to Indianapolis. He caught nine passes for 77 yards. He is a PPR option, but can be left alone in standard leagues.
Ruling: Get ‘em (PPR), Don’t Sweat ‘em (Standard)
.
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Sanu caught four of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. Look elsewhere.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Brandon Stokley, WR, Denver Broncos
Stokley caught four of five targets for 54 yards and a score. He’s only worth considering in deep PPR leagues.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Golden Tate, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Tate caught both of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown. He also threw a touchdown pass. He’s still a risky play, but he’s up to six touchdowns on the year.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Jarius Wright, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Wright caught three of five passes for 65 yards and a touchdown. Nice debut, but you would have to see more to consider him.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers
Olsen caught nine of ten targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns. He’s a solid TE2 with some TE1 upside.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings
Rudolph may have been dropped in your league after some poor performances. He caught seven of nine targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. There is no guarantee he’ll get good quarterback play again, plus he’s going on bye.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
