Counter Point

Jay Clemons write a pretty entertaining column for SI.com. And like most fantasy guru's or experts or whatever you want to call them, you never agree with all of what they say. Jay writes before the weekend games on guys who are a lock for good performances. Here is this week's column and my comments:

QB Locks For 275 Yards and/or 3 TDs
1. Peyton Manning @ St. Louis - Manning could easily perform this good
2. Aaron Rodgers @ Cleveland - This is a 50/50 for me, but my feeling is Rodgers will do well
3. Philip Rivers @ Kansas City - Somehow, I am just feeling that Rivers won't have this good a game
4. Matt Cassel vs. San Diego - Not gonna happen
5. Tom Brady @ Tampa Bay - This is a lead pipe lock
6. Ben Roethlisberger vs. Minnesota - This one is iffy, but I like this prediction
7. Tony Romo vs. Atlanta - Romo has a knack for putting up numbers, just not thinking he will this weekend
8. Eli Manning vs. Arizona - Eli needs a recovery game and he should do it in a shoot out

RB Locks -- 120 Total Yards and/or 2 TDs
1. DeAngelo Williams vs. Buffalo - If Carolina sticks with its winning formula, this one is likely
2. Steven Jackson vs. Indianapolis - I could see the yards, but not the TDs, the Rams will be behind all game
3. Ryan Grant @ Cleveland - If ever he was going to have a good game this year, the Browns will give it up
4. LaDainian Tomlinson @ Kansas City - I saw flashes of his old self, but he is not quite there
5. Larry Johnson vs. San Diego - Not a chance
6. Steve Slaton vs. San Francisco - I just dont see this one either, unless he is heavily involved in the passing game again
7. Joseph Addai @ St. Louis - I don't feel this one
8. Leon Washington @ Oakland - and I don't think this one is gonna happen either
9. Michael Turner @ Dallas - Yeah, Turner is gonna burn the Boys
10. Brian Westbrook @ Washington - If healthy, Westbrook is still a top 5 fantasy back... IF
11. Brandon Jacobs vs. Arizona - I am praying for this one, he is on my team
12. Cedric Benson vs. Chicago - Benson has a major chip on his shoulder, so this one should pan out
13. Pierre Thomas @ Miami - quietly, as normal, Thomas should reach either or both goals

WR Locks -- 110 Total Yards and/or 1 TD
1. Vincent Jackson @ Kansas City - Could happen, but this one is 50/50 for me
2. Randy Moss @ Tampa Bay - could double this estimate LOL
3. Hines Ward vs. Minnesota - I don't see this happening, but Hines has been hot lately
4. Andre Johnson vs. San Francisco - I like Johnson in this game
5. Steve Smith vs. Arizona - Smith is a prime example of sell high, teams are on to him and so are the Cards
6. Greg Jennings @ Cleveland - It is now or never this year for Jennings in my book
7. Roddy White @ Dallas - Lock this one in, the Dallas secondary is vulnerable
8. DeSean Jackson @ Washington - Not gonna happen
9. Steve Breaston @ N.Y. Giants - Neither is this one, while he might have a nice game, not this nice
10. Reggie Wayne @ St. Louis - Lock it and write it in stone
11. Dwayne Bowe vs. San Diego - This is a 50/50 for me

We will have to see how close these end up being.
