<\/a>Meet the Colts newest starting back, just in time for (your fantasy) playoffs.<\/p><\/div>\n
With Ahmad Bradshaw out, Herron steps up as the next Colts running back to outplay Trent Richardson.\u00a0 He\u2019s in line for at least a 50\/50 split, and could see more action as he\u2019ll be starting.\u00a0 Last week he had 12 rushing attempts to go along with 5 receptions.\u00a0 Look for those numbers to increase this week.<\/p>\n
The Colts play a high octane brand of football, are unstoppable at home, and are playing the forever-dysfunctional Washington Redskins.<\/p>\n
Herron offers great upside as a flex\/RB2.<\/p>\n
Jarvis Landry, WR Miami (36%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Tannehille’s newest weapon.<\/p><\/div>\n In any other year, Jarvis would be getting much more attention for his play as a rookie receiver.\u00a0 But with Sammy, Mike Evans, and ODB making headlines, it\u2019s easy to see how Jarvis got lost in the shuffle.\u00a0 But his play over the last few weeks has not gone unnoticed by The Machine.<\/p>\n Jarvis has had 4 straight double digit games, including an impressive 2 touchdown performance against Denver last week.\u00a0 His role in the offense is increasing daily, and he has established great rapport with (the vastly improved) Ryan Tannehill.\u00a0 Also working in Jarvis\u2019 favor is the Dolphins opponent this week, the forever-dysfunctional New York Jets.\u00a0 Jarvis has scored in three of the past four games.\u00a0 Look for that streak to continue Monday night.<\/p>\n Owen Daniels, TE Baltimore (45%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Meet your starting tight end and accountant.<\/p><\/div>\n If you\u2019re in a pinch at TE (perhaps you need a replacement for Dwayne Allen) Owen could serve as a serviceable stop gap.\u00a0 He only has 3 tds on the year, but is still involved in the offense, getting between 4-9 targets each week.\u00a0 With defenses having to focus more on the ageless wonder that is Steve Smith, that opens some lanes for Owen.<\/p>\n Alex Smith, QB Chiefs (38%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Great matchup at home.<\/p><\/div>\n If you\u2019re a Phillip Rivers\/Cam Newton\/Andy Dalton\/Eli Manning owner, you may want to hand the rains over to Alex this weekend.\u00a0 KC is home against Denver in what would be the game of the week (but for Green Bay\/New England).\u00a0 Anyway, lost in all the Peyton Manning fawning is that Denver’s defense sucks.\u00a0 They have given up the fantasy points to quarterbacks.\u00a0 The Dolphins exposed them last week (in Denver), as Tannehille threw for 3 tds and ran for 1.\u00a0 Smith is equally shifty, and we like his chances to gain a few points on the ground.<\/p>\n Bonus Advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fool’s gold<\/p><\/div>\n Do not pick up any of the following New England Patriots:\u00a0 Jonas Gray, Legarrate Blount, Tim Wright.\u00a0 Don\u2019t believe the hype, but believe this:\u00a0 Bill Belichick hates fantasy football, and he will fuck with you just because he can.\u00a0 Two weeks ago, everyone rushed to the waiver wire to pick up Jonas Gray, fresh off his 201 yards (37 attempts), 4 touchdown performance.\u00a0 How did he follow that up:\u00a0 0 yards on 0 attempts.<\/p>\n It’s a Belichick trap!<\/p><\/div>\n Tim Wright (the other TE) had 2 touchdowns last week, as did newly signed LeGarrette Blount.\u00a0 However, don\u2019t be fooled. \u00a0Belichick wants you to waste a roster spot on them this week, just to show you that he doesn\u2019t need to use them on his roster. \u00a0It’s too unpredictable to know which Patriot (not named Brady or Gronk) will be a regular contributor. \u00a0Consider yourself warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Thanksgiving fantasy fans.\u00a0 Here at the Big Red Sports Machine, we have a lot to be thankful for.\u00a0 We\u2019ve qualified for the playoffs in each of our three fantasy leagues (real men play in multiple fantasy leagues) and we\u2019re … Continue reading <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
