Fantasy Football Week 8

Fantasy Football Week 8 is here and Cincinnati, Kansas City, New England, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Washington all have bye weeks.

A lot of fantasy owners will miss Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Randy Moss, Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson, Dwayne Bowe, Big Ben this week

To prepare you as best we have for your week of Fantasy Football Week 8

Quarterbacks
David Garrard vs. Tennessee Titans: consider him a big option for this week as he will face the worst passing defense in the league. In week 4 against the Titans Garrard threw for 3 TD without a pick for 31 fantasy points.

Jay Cutler vs. Cleveland Browns: Cutler has bounced back every time he had a poor game the week before. The Browns don’t stop nobody, expect big number from him.

Brett Favre vs. Green Bay Packers: Favre tends to put some enormous numbers in big games like this.
Also Phillips Rivers (vs. Raiders) and Matt Hasselbeck (vs. Cowboys) have favorable matchups this week

Running Backs
Steve Slaton vs. Buffalo Bills: Buffalo has the worst defense against the run in the league. Slaton is coming off a nice game against a good 49ers defense. He put 18 fantasy points and you can’t expect something similar this week.

Matt Forte vs. Cleveland Browns: Forte is having a difficult year so far but this week could be the beginning of a new start. He will face the second worse rushing defense in the league and you can also expect him to have a few looks through the air as well.

Steven Jackson vs. Detroit Lions: this will be the week for Jackson to score his first TD of the season. The Lions are allowing 21.9 fantasy points per game to running backs.
Also start Kevin Smith (vs. Rams) and LaDainian Tomlinson (vs. Raiders).

Wide Receivers
Mike Sims-Walker vs. Tennessee Titans: Titans rank 32nd in receiving defense, allowing an average of 325.8 receiving YPG. Sims- Walker had 21 fantasy points against Tennessee in week 4.

Miles Austin vs. Seattle Seahawks: Despite Seattle’s average passing defense, Austin playmaking skills make him a must start.

Lee Evans vs. Houston Texans: he had found the end zone in the last two games and seems to be Ryan Fitzpatrick number one choice.
Consider also T.J. Houshmandzadeh (vs. Cowboys) and Johnny Knox (vs. Cleveland). Read More!

NFL Week 6 Expert Picks – Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

It’s been downright ugly for the Steelers since their Super Bowl victory. They won a narrow game over the Titans to open the season, but then lost Troy Polamalu…up until today. The hard hitting Samoan safety is back after injuring his knee and that means that this Steelers defense can regain the identity it has lost in the fourth quarter.

The Steelers have been getting beaten down on the betting line by going 1-4 ATS this season, and pushing the OVER three times already. That’s the bad news. The good news is that with Polamalu healthy again, their defense won’t give up in the fourth quarter like it has against Detroit, San Diego and Cincinnati in recent weeks. The Steelers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 against Cleveland, a trend you can certainly bank on this weekend.

Cleveland Browns (1-4) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)

Sunday, October 18th
Heinz Field, Pittsburgh — 1:00pm EST

NFL Betting Line: Pittsburgh -14 (38)

The Browns are an absolute embarrassment right now. It doesn’t matter if Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson is under center because they both suck, and they both have nobody to throw to. With Kellen Winslow emerging as a top tight-end in Tampa, and Braylon catching miracles in New York, the Browns have left their receiving corps to a bunch of no names that only an idiot like Eric Mangini would want. Against Buffalo, they had two receptions last weekend. Two for the entire team!

The Browns never play well on the road, which their 1-5 ATS record in 6 road efforts will testify. Take the Steelers, don’t be scare of the points, and watch Pittsburgh push the OVER all by themselves.
