Big Week 3 Numbers for Fred Taylor

Let's get right to my picks for this week and also a little more information on my deep sleeper of the week Fred Taylor. Let's start with Fragile Fred....

Just like I said in the previous post I am sick of so called profesionals not taking the actual game into account. For week 3, the NE Patriots are a perfect example of a team needing to focus on the simple things... As a coach, Bill Belicheck knows his team doesn't believe in themselves just yet. He knows his team should really be 0-2. So what would you do if you were him? Would you establish the run that up until this point you didn't feel really needed to be established? Would you make the game shorter in order to keep a better handle on it? Would you like to force the safeties up into the box once again? Yeah that is what he is going to do. Taylor is the best runner NE has and he is going to have a big game. Expect 90 plus yards and a score for Taylor in Week 3. That's advice no other fantasy site is giving right now as most have Taylor ranked in the 40s overall for RBs.

Now let's go and find some other picks that are deep sleepers. Ryan Grant is being ranked generally between 10-15 this week. I think he will be a top 5 back this week. Also Tim Hightower should be listed as a top 15 back instead of top 30 back this week. I do not like Deangelo Williams against the Cowboys as a top five back. He probably won't score this week and they will have to throw late. Passing games that could have a good week include the Panthers. Steve Smith will have a big game. I also will go back to another big running game as having an adverse affect on the passing game with the Patriots having another unspectacular passing performance tomorrow. Moss still gets in the end zone late to put the game away.

I Now Know What this Blog Will Be...

I cannot take it anymore. There is just a slew of bad fantasy football advice out there. How can you expect to win if you are relying on the terrible football advice these guys are giving. I am going to do things a little different though. My rankings and my hot and not list will be based on how the game is expected to play out first and not on random statistics given out due to players averages. RB's on teams expected to win will get large weekly bumps. RB's on teams expected to win big will get an average weekly rank due to them largely getting a quarter or two off. I like to think about it as the theory of fantasy football and I think it is time fantasy owners begin looking at the game

I am going to give a late Friday pick and then I will hopefully give my top 5 studs and duds for this Sunday late on Saturday. Hopefully I can keep this up throughout the rest of the year along with how I think key games impacting fantasy teams will turn out and what that means to your fantasy teams.

This week I am reaching deep and going to give an unlikely hero for Sunday Week 3. Fred Taylor will have a big game for the 1-1 Patriots. Check back tomorrow for a break down of Atlanta vs. New England and why fred Taylor is going to have a big day.
