Top Fantasy Football Defenses – Week 6

Stephen Kersey — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:55:28 +0000

There are a number of juicy matchups for fantasy football defenses in Week 6. If your fantasy team could use a dominant defensive performance this week, try to get your hands on one of these defenses.

1. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles have a defense that can make plays. Going against the inept Oakland Raiders, the Eagles should put up a ton of fantasy points.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Cleveland Browns were horrible on offense last week. That won’t change this week as the Browns travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers.

3. Green Bay Packers
The Packers have an underrated fantasy defense and this week they take on the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field. Enough said.

4. Washington Redskins
The Redskins aren’t a very good team but they are playing at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. If their defense isn’t good this week, it may be time to give up on Washington.

5. New York Jets
Last week, the Jets didn’t look too good on defense. But going up against the Buffalo Bills should solve their issues.

Top Fantasy Players in Week 6 2008

admin — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:03:01 +0000

QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Although the Cowboys had a tough loss against the Arizona Cardinals, quarterback Tony Romo had a good day fantasy football wise. He had 321 yards and three touchdowns, including a late 70-yard connection with running back Marion Barber III.

RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars
Early in the game, Fred Taylor got shaken up and ended up missing most of the contest. Maurice Jones-Drew stepped in and filled in admirably, as he finished with 148 yards and two touchdowns. When given a healthy amount of touches, Jones-Drew is as deadly as any fantasy running back in the NFL.

WR Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
Andre Johnson is separating himself as one of the best wide receivers in the fantasy world. After a breakout game in Week 5, he backed that up with another great showing in Week 6. Johnson finished the game with 178 yards and a touchdown.

TE Marcedes Lewis, Jacksonville Jaguars
Even though Marcedes Lewis has had a very quiet season to date, many scouts continue to think he is a vastly talented tight end. He showed some of his potential in Week 6 with his 64 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars.

K Jason Elam, Atlanta Falcons
When Jason Elam left the Denver Broncos for the Falcons, many fantasy football owners thought he’d be in for a tough 2008 campaign. However, Elam has been very good so far this year. In Week 6, he had five field goals including the game winner against the Chicago Bears.

Top Fantasy Starters in Week 6 2008

admin — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:11:40 +0000

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Going up against the Oakland Raiders, Drew Brees should have a good game in Week 6. You can expect him to be pass happy and he will likely finish with at least two touchdowns. He looks even like a better start with Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey possibly returning.

RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Coming into the season, many fantasy football owners thought Adrian Peterson would be the best running back of 2008. Although he hasn’t been dominant all season, he’s starting to elevate his game. Going forward, it appears as if Peterson is the best RB to have on your fantasy roster.

WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
With the Dallas Cowboys’ secondary far from 100%, the Cardinals should be able to get things done through the air. Larry Fitzgerald should be the leading recipient and could have a huge Week 6. Fitzgerald has always been a long ball threat but he’s now even dominating as a possession receiver.

TE Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Each and every week, Jason Witten is seemingly the best tight end play. Again in Week 6, there’s no one better to have on your side. Tony Romo should look for Witten early and often against the Cardinals.

Week 6 Waiver Wire Gems – Fantasy 2008

admin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 02:46:24 +0000

A fantasy football waiver wire can help you get the advantage in your league. By successfully stocking up of waiver wire gems, you can greatly improve your chance of winning a fantasy football championship.

Here are a list of waiver wire targets to go after. If any of these players are available, pick them up ASAP.

QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
In Week 5, Kyle Orton had his fifth consecutive very good fantasy game. It’s a bit early to call him a good fantasy football starter on a weekly basis but he’s looking like he can be a quality backup.

RB Justin Fargas, Oakland Raiders
After missing a couple weeks due to injury, Justin Fargas is expected back soon. Once he gets back in the lineup, Fargas will carry a big load for the Raiders. He should be on a roster in all fantasy leagues.

WR Bobby Engram, Seattle Seahawks
Returning from injury in Week 5, Bobby Engram wasted little time proving his worth. He had eight catches and was the obvious go-to guy for the Seahawks’ air assault. Engram should be a top 25 wide receiver from this point forward.

TE Anthony Fasano, Miami Dolphins
Anthony Fasano continues to look like the real deal in Miami. The Dolphins’ passing game isn’t as anemic as many thought it would be and Fasano is a big reason for that. He has a chance to finish the year as a top ten tight end.
