The smack talking started before the Packers left the field on that fateful Thursday when the Packers beat the Bears to start Week 2 of the season. Charles Woodson said “same old Jay” when talking about the Packers besting the Bears and getting four interceptions of Jay Cutler passes. (more…)

This is the last weekend of fantasy football for most of you and if you are playing this week you are either playing for the Championship or 3rd place and either way, there is likely some money on the line. This will be my last fantasy post for a little while, but I have had a blast and if you still read this religiously, I hope I have helped you out a little bit.

I am looking forward to next year and if you are out of the playoffs, your fantasy draft will be here before you know it. The DeCon will again be in the little box on the side of the pews to hear your confessions. Send an e-mail to beargoggles.decon@gmail.com or leave a comment to this post with your lineup questions and I will answer you with specific feedback on your given situation.

Because I always want to give you something to think about, here are a couple of plays I like for this week that you might not have been considering: (more…)

The DeCon’s Week 12 Fantasy Football Plays

DeCon — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:14:41 +0000

I know I mentioned I HATE Thursday football games, but this is the one week, I LOVE them…how can you go wrong, family (sans inlaws for some of you I’m sure), football and all the food you can stuff into your pieholes!!! I love turkey, but only the white meat. I can’t stand dark meat, so I am going to put a Thanksgiving theme on my picks this week. You should have plenty of players playing tomorrow as some good teams are playing some bad teams, so I wanted to make sure I got this out.

White Meat Plays (guys I like)

Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings and Ryan Grant @ Detroit – Hell, I would probably also throw Jermichael Finley into this bunch…I think GB comes out and stomps Detroit. I know Detroit plays tough on Turkey Day, because it is their birth right to host a game every year, but not this year my friends. GB wins and wins big!!!
Marion Barber vs Oakland – Shocker, I am picking a RB to light up Oakland, but until they can stop anyone on the ground, I will keep picking against them. The Oakland D is 30th against the run and they have allowed a league high 16 rushing TDs. Surprisingly, they are not so bad against the pass, so I expect Barber to gain > 100yds on the ground and likely 2 TDs.
Brett Favre vs Bears - There is really no explanation needed. The Beloved are hurting and Favre’s colors have changed, but the song remains the same. Oh, and he has a pretty good running game to support a lot of play action over the top of our vaunted Tampa Two defense.
Whichever Cincy RB starts vs Cleveland - Whether it is Cedric Benson or Bernard Scott starting for Cincy, they should be starting for you. They will light up Cleveland!!!

Dark Meat Plays (guys I don’t like) (more…)
