Fantasy Talk With the EveryMan! Week 13

Hits and Misses

I had a respectable week last week with my hits really hitting and only a surprising Denver performance spoiling my week. With a few weeks left, I'm hoping to finish the season with a bang.

Starters

QB Aaron Rogers: 27 pts 348 yds 3 tds, 1 fumble HIT

RB Ricky Williams: 17 pts 115 yds, 1 td HIT

WR Miles Austin: 20 pts 7 rec 145 yds 1 td HIT

Bench Material

QB Jay Cutler: 7 pts 147 yds passing, 16 yds rushing, 1 td, 2 int HIT

RB Knowshon Moreno: 15 107 total yds, 1 td MISS

WR Santanna Moss: 8 pts 4 rec 28 yds, 1 td WASH

Starts of the Week!

QB Philip Rivers (at CLE): San Diego has been on fire recently and the main reason is that the Chargers have finally gotten used to the fact that they are a passing team first. Rivers is thriving in this offense and should do well against the Browns (who doesn't?).

RB Chris Benson (vs DET): Benson returns to the starting lineup this week and should be highly motivated thanks to the pick up of Larry Johnson, who put up a 100 yard game last week in his first significant action since joining Cincy. Plus it's Detroit.

WR Wes Welker (at MIA): The Patriots will be out for blood this week after getting thoroughly whipped on Monday night football. Expect the offense to put up huge numbers and since Welker is Tom Brady's favorite target, he should benefit the most.

Other Notable Starts: QB Drew Brees (at WAS), RB Frank Gore (at SEA), WR Brandon Marshall (at KC)

Bench Material of the Week!

QB Vince Young (at IND): I look for a return to reality for Vince Young this week as they face the unbeaten Colts. I'm not saying that he won't have a solid game, I really look for the Titans to push the colts this week, just don't expect a repeat performance of last week.

RB Rock Cartwright (vs NO): I don't feel that Rock is going to have an especially bad game, I just had to work him in somewhere. The guy is named ROCK for Pete's sake, how could I not mention him at least once?

WR Calvin Johnson (vs CIN): Though I still steadfastly stick to my proclamation that the Bengals are overrated, they do have a sturdy defense this season and should easily handle Johnson and the Lions offense.

Other Notable Benches: QB Matt Hasselbeck (vs SF), RB Fred Jackson (vs NYJ), WR Santanna Moss (vs NO)

CraveOnline Yohoo's (10-2)

It wasn't a horrible week for the Yohoo's but it wasn't good enough for the win either. Entering the last week of the regular season, the Yohoo's have secured the first round bye, the division title, and only has best record to play for. The first round bye could be HUGE as I'm desperately hoping Michael Turner can bounce back to form in time to help me in the playoffs.
