FFI: THE FOUR HORSEMEN (WK 3)

SEPTEMBER 21st, 2007



The FSH Week Three Players to Watch!

Week three offers some very interesting looks and few tough match-ups, but as we do every week we present those which we like very much. Here are the four Fantasy Studs that will ride high in week 3.

QB-Donovan McNabb versus the Lions pass defense; Out of the gate, Philly’s quarterback Donovan McNabb has basically limped his way and his team to an 0-2 start. In Monday Night’s loss, McNabb did show some flashes down the stretch and an indication that he could be shaking off some of the rust. At home this Sunday facing the Lions (21st ranked pass defense), Mcnabb should continue to shake the rust and get healthy fast.
Prediction: 21 of 28 passing for 315 yards 2 tds.

RB-LaDanian Tomlinson versus the Packers run defense; The Packers know they have a tough match-up when they see the Chargers on the schedule, but add a hungry LaDanian Tomlinson who’s ready to break-out and the combination spells dangerous. LT is much too good to be held in check for three consecutive games. At home on Sunday LT will shake loose and gobble up big yards.
Prediction: 28 carries for 155 yards, 4 catches for 35 yards and two scores.

WR-Roy Williams against the Eagles corners; The Lions are on the road playing the Eagles and hoping to improve to 3-0. One key component they will look to will be there big target, wide receiver Roy Williams. Williams will face an under-sized and under matched secondary. Williams at 6’3” has great size and a big advantage over the Eagles smaller secondary, expect to see him targeted often in the red-zone.
Prediction: 8 receptions for 125 yards and 1td.

TE-Greg Olsen versus the Cowboys secondary; The Bears offense has barely been heard of this season, but Sunday night against the Cowboys they will need to make noise. Rookie tightend Greg Olsen has yet to see a play, but will be on the field Sunday night. Olsen is a great talent at the position, he has nice hands and speed and could be targeted quite often. The Bears have yet to have someone stand out on the receiving front and Olsen could be one of those players that does.
Prediction: 6 catches for 65 yards and a score.

Last week’s results…

The Steelers QB, Big Ben Roethlisberger was not great, but did play well throwing for 242 yards with a score. The Rams super-stud running back Steven “Action” Jackson did not fair as well, by Action’s standards. Jackson totaled just 96 yards with no appearances in the end-zone. The Packers wide receiver Donald Driver had a strong performance with 8 catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens tightend, Todd Heap was solid in week two with 7 receptions for 76 yards and a score.
Overall Grade B+
