I’m going to try to leave last week behind after finishing 4-7. I’ll consider that my free pass for this season. Anyways… here are my picks for this week:

Season Prediction Record: 34-28

In The Club:

Jaguars QB David Garrard:

All I have to say about this start is Tennessee pass defense. They rank 32^nd, which is last in the league if you didn’t t know. David Garrard torched Tennessee for 323 yards and 3 touchdowns in their first meeting this season. I mean this year any quarterback can be a top start against the Titans.

Projected: 23/33 290 yds, 2 tds, 1 int

Chargers QB Phillip Rivers:

Last week LT struggled against a bad run defense. Phillip Rivers is among one of the top 5 fantasy QB’s this year. He should have a decent week this week against Oakland.

Projected: 20/30 230 yds 2 tds 1 int

Lions RB Kevin Smith:

Yes I am picking a Lions player this week. Kevin Smith is facing a soft St. Louis run defense. They have given up 8 touchdowns to running backs in the last three weeks. Look for Smith to have a big week.

Projected: 24 car 89 yds 4 rec 31 yds 1 td

Out of the Club:

49ers RB Michael Crabtree:

Last week Crabtree had a decent debut. Crabtree plays the number 6^th ranked pass defense in Indianapolis this week. Not to mention they have only given up 2 touchdowns this year. So if you had plans to start him, bench him.

Projected: 3 rec 41 yds 0 tds

Vikings WR Bernard Berrian:

Plain and simple, Sydney Rice is taking over. They are playing Green Bay and Favre is going back to Lambeu so he is a borderline play this week.

Projected: 4 rec 67 yds 0 td

49ers DST :

They are playing the Colts enough said. Peyton Manning has been an absolute fantasy stud this year and the 49ers have been struggling. Look for a poor week out of them.

Sleepers:

Eagles RB Lesean McCoy:

Brian Westbrook left last weeks game with a concussion and is listed on the injury report this week. The Giants defense is tough but have tailed out these last 3 weeks. And 7 out of there last 9 opponent’s running backs have scored. Look for Lesean to get a good amount of touches this week.

Projected: 18 car 78 yd 4 rec 29 yds 1 td

Bears WR Devin Hester:

Bears had a rough week last week and are looking to come back strong against the Cleveland Browns. Jay Cutler has not had a bad game after a loss like that. I mean it’s hard to do worst. Look for Hester to be one of his top targets.

Projected: 5 rec 67 yds 1 td
