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. Donovan McNabb @ Atlanta - McNabb has been up and down and is missing his top two weapons, Brian Westbrook and DeSean Jackson, not sure he can do it himself
2. Philip Rivers @ Cleveland - Lock this one in
3. Matt Cassel vs. Denver - Tough divisional game with the Broncos regaining some of their defensive form last week, especially against the pass
4. Matt Schaub @ Jacksonville - I like this match up for Schaub
5. Carson Palmer vs. Detroit - Yeah, this one should be easy
6. Jay Cutler vs. St. Louis - Cutler is due for a good game, right?
7. Peyton Manning vs. Tennessee - Tennessee is playing good defense suddenly, and in a tough division game? But how can you bet against #18?
8. Brett Favre @ Arizona - I figure him to get the TDs
9. Tom Brady @ Miami - Yeah, Brady is out for revenge after a completely un Brady-like game in the Prime Time Monday showdown with the Saints
RB Locks -- 120 Total Yards and/or 2 TDs
1. Thomas Jones @ Buffalo (Toronto) - Jones has been really solid this year, and should continue against a weaker Buffalo D
2. Frank Gore @ Seattle - Gore will light them up.
3. Adrian Peterson @ Arizona - Has he has a bad game yet this year?
4. DeAngelo Williams vs. Tampa Bay - Williams should do well against Tampa
5. Justin Forsett vs. San Francisco - Forsett has been a pleasant surprise for those who picked him up, and he should continue to impress
6. Cedric Benson vs. Detroit - If he starts, he excels, but keep an eye on him.
7. Matt Forte vs. St. Louis - I just don't trust Forte this year, after having him on my team and trading him, he was just TOO inconsistent.
8. Rashard Mendenhall vs. Oakland - Mendenhall has shown flashes, yet the Oakland D is better than people think
9. Chris Johnson @ Indianapolis - Johnson is a stud and no one has really stopped him... if you slow the run, he catches some passes, if you stop the pass, he runs wild... and most times both
10. Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Houston - MJD has been studly this year and the Texans won't slow him
11. Ray Rice @ Green Bay - If he does well, it will be out of the backfield, he might have some success on the ground, but not tons
12. Jamaal Charles vs. Denver - Again, Denver started playing better defense again last week, so don't lock this one in
13. Fred Jackson vs. N.Y. Jets (Toronto) - If he starts and get the bulk of the carries, he should do well
WR Locks -- 110 Total Yards and/or 1 TD
1. Randy Moss @ Miami - Miami is not great on defense, and Moss should have his day
2. Vincent Jackson @ Cleveland - Locked and loaded
3. Anquan Boldin vs. Minnesota - Maybe one, but not both Boldin and Fitzgerald will have great days, especially if Warner does not play.
4. Sidney Rice @ Arizona - Rice has been really good the last 5 weeks or so, and should continue
5. Chad Ochocinco vs. Detroit - All things offense for the Bengals
6. Larry Fitzgerald vs. Minnesota - see above, not Larry and Anquan, and maybe neither if Warner is out
7. Andre Johnson @ Jacksonville - Locked
8. Mike Sims-Walker vs. Houston - MSW is the receiving surprise of the year maybe (well, Sidney Rice too)
9. Chris Chambers vs. Denver - Not against shut down corner Champ Bailey
10. Mario Manningham vs. Dallas - Substitute Steve Smith
11. Jeremy Maclin @ Atlanta - J-Mac could have a nice game since McNabb does not have Jackson to toss it to
12. Reggie Wayne vs. Tennessee - Wayne has been money this year
