#86 2012- Jeremy Maclin WR Philadelphia Eagles 69 catches 857 yars 7 Td’s  Maclin has been very consistent under Andy Reid, but now Chip Kelly has the keys to the Eagles offense and Kelly likes to run the ball.  Besides Kelly’s offense there is the question on who will be throwing the ball in Mike Vick or Nick Foles.  Lots of questions and plenty of reasons to avoid Eagles receivers this season.

Retro #86 2002- Atlanta Falcons Defense- 48 sacks 24 interceptions 15 forced fumbles and 2 Td’s  The Falcons always seem to be a defense if you pick up they don’t win weeks or lose weeks for you which is pretty vanilla.

2013 Look Ahead #86

ESPN- Josh Gordon Wr Cleveland Browns The Browns were very competitive so expect more of the same and better stats from Gordon.  The one thing most owners will want to see is a few more TD’s this year than the 5 Gordon collected in 2012.

CBS Sportsline-Danario Alexander-WR San Diego Chargers- Alexander and Malcom Floyd are big targets but both need Phillip Rivers to rediscover whatever he has been missing the past few years to make them fantasy stars instead of #2 and #3 options.

As you head into the playoffs, beware of your WRs playing against Revis…I am talking to you owners of Roddy White (week 14) and Reggie Wayne (week 15) as Revis could dampen your playoff spirits.  You always have to roll with your studs and White and Wayne qualify as such, but hopefully the rest of your roster can pick you up if Revis continues to climb to the top of the CB mountain.  This is likely the last week of your regular season and you might be jockeying for playoff position, so hopefully I can be some help to you as you fill out your lineups…

Guys I Like

1. Matt Forte vs St. Louis – Playing against the 28th ranked D against the run that has allowed 16 TDs on the ground this season better be able to cure the Bears running game.  If nothing else, maybe this will be a reason to watch the Beloved as they play out the string.
2. DeAngelo Williams vs Tampa Bay – Thankfully, Jake Delhomme is likely to sit this week and the Panthers running game should be in full effect.  Add to that the fact that D-Will has run for 338 yds and 4 TDs against the Bucs in his last 2 games against them and you should be very happy with his performance.  D-Will does have an ankle, but he is expected to be full go on Sunday.
3. Jeremy Maclin @ Atlanta - With DeSean Jackson concussed, Maclin’s targets should increase significantly.  With the Eagles O 3rd in the league in passing plays of more than 20 yds with 53, you can likely count of Maclin for some big numbers.
4. Brandon Marshall @ Kansas City - Denver seems to have righted the ship with Ole Neckbeard at the helm and B-Marsh should shred the KC secondary struggles with tall wide bodied WRs.  B-Marsh should be no exception.  (more…)

On to week 6…the Bears are back and I hope my GOOD picks are too…

Stone Tablet Locks – chisel these guys in stone as MUST PLAYS this week. (more…)
