Fantasy Payoff Picks
Even if you are not at the top of your league, let's feel good about some of the high draft picks you may have selected this year.
The Tennessee Titans players have been lousy this year. Chris Johnson has been the exception. He is a home run style runner. Johnson has had runs of 30 or more yards in 7 of 9 games this year. His 6.4 yards per carry average on 170 attempts is a testament to his explosive running style. Johnson will be a top three pick in fantasy drafts come the 2010 season.
It is safe to state that Tom Brady has officially returned to his expected form. He has had a career best four straight three-hundred yard games. In those games Brady has thrown 13 TDs. That is a TD/INT ratio just better than 3:1. His upcoming matchups are: NYJ, @NO, @MIA, CAR, @BUF, JAC, @HOU. Fantasy owners will continue smiling in the coming weeks.
Maurice Jones-Drew has been on fire his last four games. He had workhouse numbers in week 6, getting 33 carries for 133 and 3 TDs. Week 7 he was on a bye. In week 8 at Tennessee he accumulated a season high 177 yards on 8 carries! Drew found pay dirt twice that week. Week 9 brought 29 carries for 97 yards and 1 TD versus Kansas City. Week 10 was against a tough Jets defense, 24 carries for 123 yards and 1 TD. Drew would have had another TD at the end of the game but he took an intentional knee.
Aaron Rodgers has more than lived up to fantasy owner’s expectations. Despite having to run for his life every week he has produced. Rodgers has thrown double digit TDs six times this year. He is out scoring Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, & Drew Brees in most fantasy leagues. He was a solid second or third round pick.
Weeks 7, 8, & 10 have brought good fortune to Stephen Jackson owners. Jackson rushed for 134 yards against Indianapolis in week 7. Week 8 at Detroit was even better. Jackson posted his first TD of the season to go with 149 yards. He was able to find pay dirt again in week 10 and ran for 131 yards against New Orleans. Jackson has run incredibly hard all year for a terrible team. Larry Johnson should try to emulate himself after Mr. Jackson.
Reggie Wayne is coming off a 10 catch, 126 yard, 2 TD Sunday evening. He is quite simply as good as any receiver in the NFL. Wayne will once again finish the season as a top five fantasy scorer among receivers.

Week 9 Picks
So far there is no indication that the scoring frenzy by the elite teams in the NFL will stop. But beware of the overs. There are some good offensive teams matched up against some weak offensive teams, so be careful as the bad teams may not pull their weight to cover overs. Good Luck!
Texans at Colts - Indianapolis -9: Houston will stay in this game despite problems running the ball. Look for big scoring in this game, with the Colts pulling away in the fourth quarter. Colts win and cover this one easy. The over at 47.5 is a good bet as well.
Panthers at Saints - New Orleans -13: So far the Saints have covered the over in every game so far this season. I think it stops this week. Carolina and an anemic offense wont put up the points to help you reach the over. The Saints will pull ahead early and stay ahead. Easy win and cover for the Saints, but beware of the over and take the under this time.
Lions at Seahawks - Seattle -10: This is just the kind of meaningless game that pits two weekly underdogs together. This is a perfect game for Detroit to grab a win. A banged up Seattle reserve team will lose to the Detroit starters. Take the Lions and the points, and don't worry about who wins, and don't even bet the over under.
Packers at Tampa Bay - Green Bay -10: Look for the Packers to take out their Favre frustrations on the lowly Bucs. Big offensive day for Green Bay along with a solid defensive effort will allow for the Packers to cover in this one. Take the under as Tampa will probably not put up more than 10 points in this one.
Good Luck and remember when they ask you where you got your advice tell them from some idiots!
