Week IV Quarterbacks

Week 4 Quarterbacks

Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer. You got 'em and you're lucky. It's still warm out and these guys are winning games. For the rest of you out there that waiting until the later rounds to grab a QB, here's where your coach strategy comes in.

I'd also like to invite suggestions on how to improve the blog and other features you'd like to see as the season goes on. And now, on with the show.

Jon Kitna

Who else picks against the Bears? Well, not all the others will follow, but remember who told you the secret first. The Lions just don't have bad days offensively and won't this week either. The got embarrassed last week and want to show everyone that they're ligit. We're not sure how legit the defense is, but that offensive can score on anyone and the Bears, dating back to least season, can be passed on. Don't sleep on Kitna this week. I made a mistake last week but will not do the same thign again.

Tony Romo

The Rams are a mess. If I were a betting man, which thanks to fantasy I no longer am, I would take whatever points Vegas gives and bet the Cowboys in this one. Tony Romo is for real and by the end of the year should be mentioned in the same sentence as the Big 3 Qbs of the day. He is torch the Rams at home this week and you can enjoy whatever T.O. does as a bonus.

Ben Rothlisberger

Ben Goes to the dry lands of Arizona for some sun and fun before the Steelers settle down for their long winter season. Ben usually explodes after a defense stacks the line against Parker. Don't be scared off by the fact that the Steelers old O coordinator is leading the way for the other side. The Cards let the Ravens offense score all over them so the Steel show should do that and more.

Donavann McNabb

Is he back or was that just the Lions? We will see on Sunday Night as the Giants D that brought them back against the Redskins looks to have McNabb back on his backside. He should rebound and will perhaps find some receivers down field for a big gain or two. Look for a solid performance from the big man, but if Brian Westbrook is really that banged up, it might just be a nice diner instead of a 5 course meal.

Eli Manning

Everyone's forgetting about Eli but with the lack of a running game, this kid is really stepping up and keeping his Giants from falling off the face of the football planet. With no Plex in there it's going to be a tough go without his Plexipal, but the Braided one is tough enough to give it a go out there and just might show up on the pitch. Sorry about there, been writing about Manchester United in the real world this week.

Phillip Rivers

Stop looking up at Ele Phil. Rivers must step up and prove himself this year. He is a fire breather for sure and last year he had Marty to breathe fire back. The laid back Coach Turner approach is not doing much to steer young Phillip in the right direction and this week he's going to have to take his shots down field when LT softens up the Defense. Kansas City is desperate but on they're on the road. Not much of a threat. Look for a couple of TD grabs from big Antonio Gates and a long one, we hope, from Hype Machine Vincent Jackson.

Jeff Garcia

Garcia make it up this high because of his consistency issues. You might want to check the injury report before you give him a go, but Gruden plays within the division very well because of his insanity and preparation. Garcia will be ready to go and Tampa Bay will score on a surprisingly soft Carolina Defense. Why is everyone always so surprised?


OK, OK, GRAB YOUR HELMET AND WE'LL SEE

Brett Farve

On the Road. Confident and in a dome. Smells like a trap. Don't expect greatness this week, but a couple hundred yards and a TD in a knock Down NFC Central Game is what I'm looking at.

Matt Hasselbeck

2 Tds and some yards. Matt Matt, your receivers come and go but you just stay the same. Something smells a little fishy for this week's battle in the Bay but Matt's from Seattle and they toss fish in the streets up there, right?

David Carr

Is he playing in this game? Looks like it. I like redemption games and really like Carr in this one. If he hands the ball of 30 times to Foster and Williams, he'll have enough time to toss in a few Touchdowns. The likelihood is that he would be a wavier wire acquisition so if you're stud has a bye, take David out to lunch and see how he behaves.

Chad Pennington

He's going to have a Monster game against the Bills but you can't have Chad up at the top because he just might not finish the game.

Dante's Revenge Raider Ride

Do you want to hop aboard this wild ride? This would be the week to do it against the Fins who are right for the picking against a unified Raider squad looking to give everyone a nice ride back home and a free jumpsuit from Al when they get back to Oaktown.


CAN YOU TAKE NOTES ON THE GAME

Trent Green

The Raiders will shut him down and the boos will shower down from all around the sunshine state.

Joey Harrington

That Houston Defense is tougher than anyone thinks and there's no way you should ever bank on Joey Harrington for anything other than a surprise. You don't want a Joey Harrington surprise, do you?

Any Bills QB

If Lossman doesn't start, then the guy who wasn't good enough to take Lossman's job will. Nothing Nice.

Derrick Anderson

Ray Lewis is going to eat him and make a personal highlight reel after of it.

Steve McNair

The Ravens will Run and Hit and Hit and Run and Run and Hit and...You get the point, right?



Receivers on the way Friday.

Do I risk playing Anquan Boldin and Kellen Winslow this week?

Stal Herz said...

Both have tough match ups, but if Anderson is going to dump off the ball with the blitz in his face, Winslow might be a nice choice.

As for Boldwin, he might be hurt. You need to keep an eye on the injury report. What are your other options?

Jason said...

ROddy White and Wes Welker: but Winslow has the shoulder injury, too. Is it safe to play him?

Stal Herz said...

Winslow is listed as Questionable and Boldwin is doubtful.

If you can have a WR instead of a TE, I would start White at home against a banged up Houston Team.

Welker should start above Boldwin. He'll have a good game.
