Title: "Red Zone PRIMED Players for the Week" - Week 9
Post by StegRock on Oct 30th, 2002, 9:21am
WEEK 9

"Red Zone PRIMED Players for the Week" are simply to be ONE player from each of the FIVE skill positions, QB, RB, TE, WR, PK.  Just list ONE for each position, no stats projections necessary.  Let's keep it simple for the newbies! [smiley=newbie.gif] [smiley=newbie.gif] Addendum:  you may offer up TWO groups, one more of the "stud" variety and one consisting of players better-termed as "sleepers."  I actually encourage you all to do this if you have the time.  I will give the basic template/pattern I want you to use.  Again, PLEASE follow it closely for the newbies. [smiley=newbie.gif] [smiley=newbie.gif] THANKS! [smiley=bow.gif]

Here is the pattern to follow (cut and paste it if need be):

QB - ...
RB - ...
WR - ...
TE - ...
PK - ...

(Of course, the addition of SMILIES is always cool! [smiley=beatnik.gif] )

Top tier

QB - Donovan McNabb
RB - LaDainian Tomlinson
WR - Plaxico Burress
TE - Bubba Franks
K - David Akers

Sweet potential

QB - Shaun King, Tampa Bay Bucs. Limbs are easily broken when your this far out on one. I liked what I saw of SK a season or two ago. If you're hurtin' at QB with injuries or bye's, a weak Minni pass d makes this a good prospect.

RB - Kenny Watson, Washington Redskins. Too early to say Stephen Davis is out for sure, but it is looking more and more that way, IMO. A  Seattle match-up is to good to pass up. Keep and eye out, but be ready to pounce.

WR - Coery Bradford, Houston Texans. They play the Bengals, fantasy footballers play Bengals opponents.

TE - Mark Campbell, Cleveland Browns. Strong statistical game last week and faces Pittsburg who is suprisingly generus to opposing TE's. If Gonzo or Sharpe are you regular guys, this could be the fix you're after.

K - Bill Grammatica, Arizona Cardinals.   Most of the best match-ups are taken by bigger name kicker, but St Louis is way up there by allowing 18 field goal attempts so far and Martin's wittle bwuda is hell 'o fun to make fun of, but a legitimate shot at very solid numbers this week.

I like to go with names that aren't quite as obvious.   Go with the usual suspects of course, but if you are caught with a bad bye week, these guys might come in handy.

Tim Couch -- Couch always seems to have big games against the Steelers, and he claims that he is healthy for the first time all year.    I like his chances against a Steeler secondary that can be beaten deep.  

Antowain Smith -- The Patriots are getting into cold weather time.   That's when Smith really shined last year down the stretch.    Buffalo has been weak against the run all year.  

Joey Galloway -- Detroit's secondary is slow, and their own turf exposes them even more.    Galloway has been somewhat hot of late as well.  

Billy Miller -- Cincinati's safeties are young and inexperienced, and Bradford and Gaffney are likely to draw the bulk of the attention.   Miller should be open, and he's developed a nice connection with Carr.

Joe Nedney -- Tennessee has been in scoring fests lately, and Indy is a nice matchup.

Washington -- Hasselbeck is terrible.    It will get ugly early.
