LOVE
Thomas Jones – Bills are soft against opposing RBs given the injuries that have plagued their entire team. Jones has been a model of consistency all season there is no reason it doesn’t happen again.
Matt Forte – I love all offensive players against the Rams unless they are Browns.
Cedric Benson – Benson was over rested to ensure his production deep into the playoffs. He is aching to get back and they wont be afraid to use him in a great match up!
Brandon Marshall – The fact that the Chiefs have been on a tear as of late only makes it more likely that the passing game will be relevant deep into the game.
Jason Avant – Avant is a great pickup this week as Jackson’s absence is going to be missed against a weak Falcons secondary in week 13. Avant is the lead candidate to fill the void Jackson will leave in the offense.
Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson – The game is in Jacksonville but the Jags are quite bad against the pass. This duo is all set to have quite a great week for fantasy owners especially considering coach Kubiak is intent on ruining their running game.
Randy Moss – Bill Belichick is not pleased with the outing Monday night and is out for revenge against a team Ryan Fitzpatrick just torched!
Rashard Mendenhall – He’s been a bit quiet this past few weeks but with Ben Roethlisberger on the mend they will lean on the running game.
Pierre Thomas – Thomas looked good last week and the Saints wont need to pass against the leagues number one passing defense with Thomas ready to carry it as much as the Saints let him.
Ladainian Tomlinson – The Browns are really soft and if the Chargers can get to the goal line LT can still punch it in.
Vincent Jackson – Jackson has been a big disappointment over the past few weeks but the Browns have been much more disappointing for a lot longer.
Michael Crabtree – Seattle has the 25th ranked pass defense allowing an average of 231 yards per game. Coach Singletary has this team believing in itself and they are still on the skirts of the wild card hunt.
Burleson and Houshmandzadeh – SF has the 28th ranked passing defense allowing 256.5 yards per game. I do not think both can put up big numbers but one should have a big game and the other one should be respectable. It’s up to Hasselbeck and the 49ers defense who gets the scores!
Donald Driver – Driver and Jennings have reversed their roles from what we thought they would be preseason and I have seen nothing to make me expect the roles to switch back.
Brett Favre and Sydney Rice – It’s near impossible to develop the kind of chemistry these two have over the single season time frame that these two have known each other. I was skeptical but have recently hopped on board…
HATE
Terrell Owens – Guess whose turn it is to get shut down by Darrelle Revis!
Beanie Wells – Hightower got more work last week, and it appears that the Cards trust him more in the critical scenarios!
Calvin Johnson – Now that he has had some good production over the last fort night I’m afraid he has peaked, certainly I can’t expect much from the playoff bound Bengals.
Ryan Grant – I don’t foresee that much production from Grant Monday night against a stout Ravens run defense and struggling secondary.
Welcome back from the Holiday to Week 12! I hope you enjoyed the time with your family as much as I did, Noon injury update to follow soon. Doing a Q&A on Yahoo! this morning check it out!:

I don’t think this matters much as you likely didn’t have a kicker that was about to lose his job. And If you did, you will have no issues replacing him.
According to NFL.com Chiefs WR Bowe violated substance abuse policy and will be suspended until week 15 of this season. Bowe has been inconsistent this season, but this will still strike a blow for fantasy owners who may be better off for needing to find a replacement option. Chris Chambers anyone?
Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson summoned Dick Jauron to Detroit this morning and “blind-sided” Jauron with the news that he was fired! Bills fans throughout the country that remain join me in my pleasure today. One can only hope that Jauron’s replacement is the big-name coach that this team and city deserve after a long stretch of unproven and really untested coaches! There is a long list of future Hall of Fame talent unemployed at the moment. This list includes Holmgren, Shanahan, Cower, Gruden, Herm Edwards, and others. Stay tuned to this blog and my Twitter account to stay up to date. The Bills are my hometown team and I will be glued to these developments as they happen!
Have heard no specifics yet as to the direct severity of Turner’s ankle problem, however the Falcons have signed RB Aaron Stecker to the squad dropping a reciever for him. This furthers my suspisions that Turner is likely to be inactive for at least a few weeks. We will need to watch closely! But Jason Snelling’s stock is rising, and he was already my pickup of the week. One thing is clear, the Falcons aren’t playing their best with Turner so who knows what happens now.
This morning ESPN’s Michael Smith reported that Larry Johnson is on his way to Cincinnati to speak with team officials. Barring a setback LJ is expected to be sign with the team. My personal guess is by the end of the day! (Does this mean that Benson’s injury is more severe than we thought?!)
