  • CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP! Larry Johnson had his best game of the season in week 12. He ran for 107 yards on 22 carries. Even though he was running against a terrible Cleveland Browns defense, this performance displayed the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line has been effectively run blocking all season.

    Cedric Benson was able to gain 120 yards on the ground in facing a stout Baltimore Ravens defense in week 5. At that juncture the Ravens defense had only allowed three 100 yard performances in their prior 40 games. He ran for 141 yards in week 2, playing an impressive Green Bay Packer defense. His most productive game came against his former team, the Chicago Bears. He had 189 yards on 37 carries.

    Larry Johnson’s fantasy value should be high moving forward. Rookie running back Bernard Scott is listed as having turf toe. It’s an injury that hinders a running backs ability to cut. LaDainian Tomlinson had that same injury last year. It severely hampered his production. Cedric Benson is coming back from a hip injury. Will his body be able to handle his bruising running style? This could potentially become Larry Johnson’s backfield very soon. Let’s assume Cedric Benson remains healthy and the #1 back in Cincinnati. Come week 16 the Kansas City Chiefs travel to Cincinnati. Championship weekend for most fantasy leagues! Larry Johnson is going to be salivating at the opportunity to make a statement in this game. I’m going to bet the Bengals will give him the majority of carries that weekend. This matchup should have fantasy owners drooling.

  • Times They Are A Changin’ Let’s take a look at the multitude of changes occurring amongst NFL teams after week 7.

    In Kansas City you have the “THUG” Larry Johnson twittering his way off of his teams roster. Maybe he hasn’t beaten enough women lately and it’s getting to him? It would be so sweet if NFL teams banded together and blacklisted this ungrateful use to be from the NFL forever. On the upside Haley is making way for the second year back Jamaal Charles. He is a nice pick up as a bye week replacement or stash guy.

    Tedd Ginn Jr. is officially back in Bill Parcell’s doghouse. Ginn is to see reduced playing time moving forward. Coach Tony Sparano has said on record that rookie Brian Hartline “merits playing more.” My question is will Brian Hartline be the guy or will Greg Camarillo sneak in there the way he did last year?

    Now that Chris Cooley has been ruled out for at least 4 weeks Fred Davis will be taking over his starting role. The second year tight end out of USC played well against the Eagles in week 7 when Cooley left the game. The knock against Davis is that he isn’t a great blocker. So maybe he won’t be playing every down? But he is an excellent receiving tight end. Washington’s offense has looked pathetic at times this year struggling to get the ball down field. A short passing game serves them well.

    Brian Westbrook is more than likely to miss week 8. His backup LeSean McCoy is a talented rookie. The Eagles need to run the ball in order for their offense to be effective. They didn’t commit to the run in week 6 and lost uh-hummmm LOST to the Oakland Raiders! I rest my case.

    Is Vince Young going to be the Titans starter coming out of their week 7 bye? Owner Bud Adams is supposedly pulling for him to get the start over Collins come week 8. Does this one even make much of a difference? Certainly not fantasy wise unless you planned on starting JaMarcus Russell this week.



    Does Al Davis really have that big of a man crush on JaMarcus Russell? I think so! Otherwise Tom Cable would have been fired by now. Let’s take a look at Mr. (I don’t belong in the NFL) Russell’s stats through 7 weeks. He has amassed an amazing 891 passing yards. That would be an average of 127 yards a game! His completion % is a mind blowing 46.3%! He has thrown for a deplorable 2 TD’s and 8…….8 INT’s! I guess there isn’t any need for change here?

    Norv Turner hinted Malcolm Floyd will be cutting into Chris Chambers playing time. Malcolm’s big at 6’5” 225 pounds. If he plays enough I believe he’ll put up solid fantasy numbers. The strength of this team is their passing game. I like this guy as a wide receiver 4 or 5.
