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"

JerMichael Finley - I have to agree, he and Rodgers are on the same page

Calvin Johnson - I think the Lions will find it harder going against Green Bay, even with their defensive losses.

Marion Barber - The Raider defense is much better than people give them credit for, plus the continuous time share. Did anyone else hear Jerry Jones would like to see more from Felix Jones?

Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw - Denver's defense has been horrible against the run, and well, against the pass too. Even with the time share, both could do ok.

Jason Snelling - After a successful debut, he won't sneak up on anyone, I would expect an ok day against Tampa Josh Freeman - There has to be a better option for you than Freeman... Kyle Boller, Alex Smith...

Kellen Winslow - He might do ok, but he is so inconsistent week to week... if you want to gamble, go ahead

Ricky Williams - Buffalo is not stout against the run, and Williams should do well

Terrell Owens - I read some good analysis on TO, new offensive coordinator, more TO... makes sense

Fred Jackson - With Lynch hobbled, more touches for Jackson is a good thing

LeSean McCoy - Replacing Westbrook, if he gets enough touches, he should do well

Justin Forsette - I am not sure if Jones is back or not, but a time share would not help either back. I like Forsette if Jones doesn't play

Chris Chambers - Chambers has been great since joining the Chiefs, lots left in his tank, and a payback game could produce well

Jamaal Charles - His TD return helped, but San Diego's defense will slow him down

Greg Olsen - Against Minnesota, I don't like Olsen in this one.

Berrys "Hates"

Tony Romo - The Raiders have been tough on the passing game, and the Cowboys are definately off right now, 14 points in the past two games

Jason Witten - So goes Romo, so goes Witten

Eli Manning - Manning will do ok, but if the Giants can get their pathetic running game going, it will be less, if they continue struggling on the ground, then Eli will do better

Steve Smith - Smith has been consistent in the last few weeks, not posting monster games, but nice ones and he will again

Brent Celek - I would start Celek every week these days

Beanie Wells - If he can get involved in the running game, he could do well, I would expect him to do ok though

Jay Culter - Yeah, I would not expect great things from Culter this week in Minnesota
