Week 3 Cheatsheets

Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans

Brees’ Saints are playing Atlanta at home on Monday Night Football. The Falcons’ run defense has been very solid so far, so expect them to put the clamps on Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister early. With Atlanta putting up points, Brees is going to have to throw the ball a ton to stay in this game.

Corey Dillon, RB, New England

The Patriots have adopted the two-back system, like a lot of teams. Despite sharing carries with rookie Laurence Maroney though, Dillon is on pace for a 1,200 yard season. New England also likes to reward him around the goal-line, so expect another good fantasy night for Dillon against the Broncos.

Derrick Mason, WR, Baltimore

Mason is only averaging 48 yards receiving through two games, partially due to the conservative nature of the Ravens’ offense. This week, Cleveland is missing cornerback Daylon McCutcheon and possibly Gary Baxter. Expect quarterback Steve McNair to have more attempts and Mason will be one of the beneficiaries.

Vernon Davis, TE, San Francisco

The rookie has not exactly lit it up yet, but this could be the week against Philadelphia. The Eagles have major injury problems at cornerback, so expect the Philadelphia safeties to be more concerned about providing help on the outside. That will leave Davis free in the middle.

PLAYER TO BENCH - WEEK 3 CHEATSHEETS

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh

“Big Ben” struggled against the Jaguars on Monday Night Football. A lot of people think that means he will have a bounce-back game against Cincinnati. Well, think again. No one knows the true extent of all his injuries, and he is having stamina and rust issues as well. Pittsburgh will play conservative again on offense, so bench Ben.

Tatum Bell, RB, Denver

Bell has averaged 15.5 carries per week this year, and is at 5.5 yards per carry. Contrast that with teammate Mike Bell who is averaging 11.5 carries, and 4.4 yards The Patriots are doing a good job stopping the run this year, and they are likely to keep safety Rodney Harrison in the box, and force quarterback Jake Plummer to beat them.

Deion Branch, WR, Seattle

Branch is making his first appearance since being acquired from New England. Branch is now known as the $39 million man, but that doesn’t mean he is a good fantasy play against the Giants. Branch has had very little time to learn the offense, and the Seahawks have a number of receivers to share the wealth. Bench Branch!

Jermaine Wiggins, TE, Minnesota

Wiggins struggled during the last five games of 2005, and that has continued so far this year. Quarterback, Brad Johnson doesn’t look the way of his tight end a lot, and the numbers prove it, Couple that with the tough Chicago defense this week, and this is a no-brainer.
