Hate / Love

Matthew Berry from ESPN writes a weekly column he calls his Love Hate list. He runs through players he loves for the weekend's matchup and those he hates. And well Berry is an "expert" and gets paid big jack to express his opinions, I often disagree. So, here is my spin in the Talented Mr Roto's thoughts, which can be found here

Berry "Loves"

Ricky Williams - Now this one is late and yes, I liked him too... after all, I started him on my fantasy team and reaped the rewards to the tune of 36+ fantasy points

Lex Hilliard - Berry liked him in deeper leagues, but I never heard him... too obscure
Jonathon Stewart - DeAngelo is still the main main and most talented in Carolina and it showed in Miami

Jason Campbell - Campbell will never be on my love-list, until further notice

Santana Moss - and Moss won't even with his history of big games against Dallas, not as long as Campbell is his QB

Mohammad Massaquoi - I don't see anyone on the Browns really worth starting these days. Their offense looked horrible with Derek Anderson at QB and pathetic is not too strong a word with Quinn under center

Steelers D - Yeah, they should bury KC, sorry Todd Haley

Eli Manning and Steve Smith - Smith has slid into a consistant if not spectacular fantasy WR, worth a solid #2 or weaker #1 slot, but Eli has been sputtering... and will continue so-so numbers against Atlanta

Jason Snelling - too early to proclaim the back up as savior

Jeremy Shockey - I hate those short "trends" that fantasy guru's say predict the future, like the Bucs giving up a TD in 3 of 4 games to a TE... does that mean Shockey will score too? Not, but I still like him against Tampa

Pierre Garcon - He is a decent flex and marginal #2 play if you have him. He is available on many wires, and if you have room, pick him up

Joe Flacco - I can agree with this one just because the Raven defense doesn't scare Manning and the Colts, so Flacco is gonna have to go toe-to-toe with Peyton

TJ House, Nate Burleson and John Carlson - I am not sure why Berry likes the three amigos from Seattle against the stout Minnesota defense... I for one, don't, except maybe Carlson

Brett Favre - Minnesota will start resting AP for the stretch run, using more of Chester Taylor and Favre will continue to ball... throw Sidney Rice in here too.

Bernard Scott - mmmmm, he got nicked up last week after taking over for Benson, and I don't know if he will answer the call to greatest, plus LJ will steal some carries I think

Bengals D - Lock this one, the Raider's offense is anemic

LT - Love his Kari Wuhrer comments, but Denver has a TON to lose in this game, and if they have any backbone, will stand up and fight, shutting down LT

Tony Scheffler - He is worth starting

Greg Olsen - Thanks for sharing the points against info Mr Roto, but unless Culter really starts checking down more, Olsen will continue to be a fanatsy after thought most weeks

LeSean McCoy - this one is a no-brainer

Kevin Walter - Someone has to step in for the production of IR Owen Daniels, and I thought Walter would do that sooner, but perhaps this is the week

Berrys "Hates"

Roy Williams - Even though he sucks and is doing his best to replace TO as a prima-donna and drop-meister, Williams is getting more and more targets and chances to produce, Miles Austin is NOT a #1 NFL wideout and facing the top corners and defenses taking him away is working, so Williams will continue to get opportunities

Frank Gore - Yeah, I agree, Green Bay has not given up a big game to a RB this year really

Ryan Grant - I see a middling game for Grant against the 49'ers

Jamaal Charles - I agree with this one, the Steelers are mad and will bury the Chiefs early, with no time for a running game

Matt Ryan - The Giants have a good pass rush and Ryan has been mediocre of late, but I hold out hope

Carson Palmer and Ocho Cinco - With Benson sidelined, the running game will not be the focus, so the passing game will be... I would pick up Coles if you have room, lots of folks dropped him and he has been quietly out producing "85" recently

Mike Sims-Walker and Torry Holt - The Bills are in disarray, one MSW will do fine, not sure about Holt (who else but me misses the old Holt?)

Joseph Addai - Addai has been having an unspectacular if not really solid year, probably near the #10 RB spot in your league... look for yourself, I could see him doing ok here

Austin Collie - Collie has disappeared since a nice week... weeks ago

Laurence Maroney - The Jets are not nearly as tough as they were earlier in the year. Maroney would be an ok #2 option

Knowshon Moreno - The San Diego defense is not as tough as it once was and Moreno will be ok, not great, but ok

Jay Cutler - Yeah, Philly is tough on D and Culter is too careless with the ball... mad skills, but careless

Devin Hester - He will be on my bench this week

Ryan Moats - I stashed him on my fantasy bench, but not sure what I have in him yet... I will be watching this week
