Let Them Preach! Week One Edition

There it goes. It just blew right by your head! No not the ball! Week one of the NFL season decided to swing in and give us an entertaining Sunday (and a record-breaking-type Monday too) for the first time in over seven months. But was it an even more exciting Monday? Well, I decided that I would start a new segment called “Let Them Preach” that is essentially one thing I learned from each game every week. I’m not sure how long this will last, but hey, you never know until you try. It will be out every Tuesday after the Monday night games. It will usually be a short little article so let’s get to it.

New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers
1. James Starks is going to be the main guy for the Packers. Starks ran harder and just looked like the guy who the Packers can put their trust in.
2. Aaron Rodgers has a bromance with Greg Jennings. Rodgers loves to throw to the most talented guy on the field, and that is going to continue.
3.Jimmy Graham will become Drew Brees favorite target with Colston out for a while.

Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears
1. Bears can compete for the division championship in the NFC North again, and I think that is apparent to almost everyone who watched them this week.
2. With clear WR1 for the Bears, Matt Forte is going to be a tremendous game changer for the Bears.
3. Julio Jones was the second most productive rookie on the weekend, and I thought that he looked better than AJ Green.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns
1. Jerome Simpson is relevant, at least with Bruce Gradkowski under center.
2. Cedric Benson can still get the rock and run with it, and the Bengals sure love to run the ball.
3. We still don’t know who McCoy is going to throw the ball to (when was the last time the Browns had a WR1 anyways?). I did find out that McCoy loves to throw to his tight ends though, and Moore could have value.

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
1. Ryan Fitzpatrick was, has been, and always will be an underrated NFL QB. No doubt about that. He has never gotten any man love from anyone,  but the Bills know and I know that he is a flower budding on a warm sunny day in spring.
2. Scott Chandler looks like he is going to be Ryan “Don’t Look Now” Fitzpatrick’s favorite target.
3. Jamaal Charles looks like he is going to share the ball . . . a lot.

Philadelphia Eagles @ St.Louis Rams
1. Eagles line isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to do. What do I mean by that? It means I didn’t puke, but Michael Vick could put up numbers.
2. Avant having more targets than Maclin is not going to happen often. And I will not be benching Maclin in week two.
3. Cadillac Williams still has it (“it” refers to his running skills). Oh, and if all of you out there didn’t know, Carnell “Cadillac” Williams is going to be starting next week, so GO GRAB HIM!

Detroit Lions @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1. Josh Freeman is going to throw the ball, and it is really going to hurt Blount’s value.
2. Arrelious Benn should be watched. He had seven targets and I think he might even start stealing targets from Mike Williams.
3. Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson could have something special.

Tennesse Titans @ Jacksonville Titans
1. Mike Thomas is the #1 target for McCown, no doubt.
2. Kenny Britt is an incredible playmaker.
3. Hasselbeck might be able to actually produce with the Titans.

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers
1. Ravens are contenders to make it to the Superbowl. Your heard me. Superbowl.
2. Hines Ward isn’t done yet, and it is hurting Emmanuel Sanders/Antonio Brown.
3. Anquan Boldin is going to be Flacco’s favorite target, unlike last year, and I think he could finish a top 10 fantasy football WR.

Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
1. Peyton Manning should have won more than four MVPs.
2. I think we all found out that the Colts might be worse than the ’08 Lions. Ok maybe a little over-exaggeration thare, but the Colts are a giant wreck without Peyton Manning.
3. The Texans have a really good offensive line, or Ben Tate can run almost as good as Arian Foster, pick your poison. Without Arian Foster Tate had himself a very good game.
4. Although they were facing old man Collins, the Texans pass defense didn’t look half bad against a pretty strong receiving crops.

Carolina Panthers @ Arizona Cardinals
1. Cam Newton can actually be a starting quarterback in this league. Shocker! All kidding aside, he had a great game and he has some great upside in the coming weeks.
2. Steve Smith will be a strong candidate for comeback player of the year if him and Newton continue to connect.
3. Newton’s running skills are going to really hurt the Carolina backfield.
4. Kolb is going to spread the ball around a lot, and it looks like his first option is Fitzgerald. But I think Doucet earned the backup role on Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings @ San Diego Chargers
1. Rivers, although he didn’t look phenomenal on Sunday, is going to be in contention for the passing yards crown again. He throws the ball as much as I tweet (a lot).
2. Mike Tolbert is the official goal line back of your San Diego Chargers.
3. Adrian Peterson is going to have to start leading the Vikings, as well as everyone rallying around McNabb if this football team wants to win games.

Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers
1. Just like “All Day”, Frank Gore is going to have to take control of his, but more specifically his offense, if they want to win games.
2. With the way Tavaris Jackson spread the ball around, I don’t see Sidney Rice being a huge factor when he returns, but I could always be wrong. I think this is the next Browns that have no clear #1 wide receiver.
3. Crabtree’s foot is going to bother him all year; I expect Braylon Edwards and Vernon Davis to become a bigger part of the offense this year, just in general.

New York Giants @ Denver Broncos
1. Tim Hightower is going to be the main man in Shanahan’s offense.
2. Rex Grossman, yes, Rex Grossman, could lead this teams to some success (but be realistic, we’re talking about the Redskins here. As of now Rex Grossman is actually right: The Redskins will win the NFC East, judging by the way the standings are right now.
3. Hakeem Nicks is a complete monster and he never quits (see injury).

Dallas Cowboys @ New York Jets
1. Tony Romo is one of the best quarterbacks in the game . . . in the first three quarters.
2. Santonio Holmes is clearly going to be the guy for the Jets.
3. Just like I predicted, Jason Witten will be the most targeted pass catcher on this team.
4. Plaxico can’t do much against a good corner, as seen in the second half on Sunday Night.

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins
1. I was actually right about Chad Henne.
2. Chad Ochocinco isn’t going to be much of a factor this year. He was hardly even on the field.
3. Tom Brady is a beast, but Hakeem Nicks is right behind him on the beastliness scale.
4. Reggie Bush cannot be a #1 RB in the NFL, even if the Dolphins try to make him one, he is just not.

Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos
1. Sebastian Janikowski has a leg.
2. Michael Bush and the rest of that backfield are going to get more carries this year than last. Or, at least they will get more playing time
3. Orton and Lloyd both showed us that they aren’t one year wonders.
4. The Broncos’ offensive line was putrid. I would still buy low on Moreno. I completely still believe in the guy.

I hope you enjoyed my first edition of “Let Them Preach”. Tomorrow will be my rankings, and Thursday will be my Bank and Tank for week two. Don’t forget that the rankings are now on a separate tab, so when they aren’t on the blog page tomorrow then go look there. If you would like to speak with me or have any questions then you can always catch me on Twitter or you can feel free to email me. Thanks for reading, and I will see you tomorrow.

2011 NFL Playoff Predictions

Every year, right before the season, I like to predict the NFL playoffs as well as pick my Superbowl champion, just like most other football fans. Let's go ahead and do that, and if it is short enough we can move on to my stat leaders, If I don't have time for that then those predictions will be out on Tuesday.
Let's get started.

The sixth seed in the NFC will be the New Orleans Saints out of the NFC South with a record of 10-6. They didn't do much this off season with the exception of Mark Ingram. Just a side Wild Card note here: I have the Lions also going 10-6, but the Lions will lose the head to head with New Orleans.

With the fifth seed I have the Dallas Cowboys. The offense will be back with Romo back on the field, an improved secondary will help defend the passing game, and with an explosive offense as always, I project the Cowboys to go 11-5. That being said, we know the Cowboys have let their fans down the last couple of years; they were projected to have a great year and then screw the pooch. Expect the Cowboys to have a much better season this year.

Now our first division winner comes from the NFC West where the Kevin Kolb led Arizona Cardinals win their division by one game. They added Kevin Kolb from the Eagles in the off season as expected, and I anticipate them to have a much better year. I have the Cardinals winning the division with a 9-7 record, beating out the Rams by a small margin of only one game. Maybe 2012 will be the year for Bradford and the young St.Louis Rams.

In the three spot I have the Philadelphia Eagles from the NFC East. They had a great off season adding Jason Babin, Nnamdi Asomugha (no, I didn't have to search that name up), Cullen Jenkins, and a blockbuster Kolb for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Their defense has improved a ton, and they could be an extreme powerhouse this year if they can figure out their problems at the offensive line. That all being said, I have the Eagles down for 12-4.

In the two spot, from the NFC South, I have the Atlanta Falcons, led by Matty Ice.  Just like the Saints, the Falcons made no big moves, but added some young depth. You may want to look out for Julio Jones this season; he has tremendous athletic ability and can score from anywhere on the field. I have the Falcons also going 12-4 but winning the match up with the Eagles to give them the first round bye and home field for the first game.

And the first seed in the NFC is the Green Bay Packers. They have kept nearly all of their Superbowl team from last year and are any people's Superbowl favorite. Jermicahel Finley, AJ Hawk, and Ryan Grant are all ready to go after being placed on IR last season. This might just be the best offense in the NFL this year with a two-man backfield and Aaron Rodgers under center. I have the Packers down to go 14-2 only losing at the Giants and at the Chargers.

With the sixth seed in the AFC is the New York Jets. A little difference from last year with a few added veterans and a new receiving core around Santonio Holmes. I have the Jets going 11-5, and taking second in the AFC East. Could this be the year of the "Sanchise"? I guess we will have to wait and see.

The fifth seed in the AFC from the AFC North with a 12-4 record is the Baltimore Ravens. Last year they made it to the divisional round and couldn't come up with a game winning drive against the Steelers: they were also my Superbowl pick last year. That being said, I think they will have another great season this year, and be in contention to get to the Superbowl.
The Texans have come close to the playoffs a number of times since becoming a franchise in 2002, but this is the year. Arian Foster is going to lead the Texans to win the AFC South and claim the fourth seed in the AFC with a 10-6 record. The Colts will finish a game behind with a record of 9-7.

The third seed in the AFC is the Chargers from the AFC West. They always seem to be over hyped, but they seemed to have fixed the problems on special teams so if they can minimize mistakes these team could be extremely good. I have them going 12-4 and winning their division by three games. Maybe Norv Turner can finally get to the Superbowl this year.


With the second seed I have the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have been to the Superbowl the last two years, and Mike Tomlin knows what he is doing. I have the Steelers going 13-3. I expect Big Ben to have a great season and win the division for the fourth time in the last five years.


Then the final seed (as many expected) is the New England Patriots. They have had made the playoffs eight times in the past ten years, and I expect them to make it nine out of  eleven. They made improvements on their offensive line and in the secondary and picked up some good depth in the draft. I have them going 14-2 and I wouldn't doubt it. Patriots are going to be good, real good.

Now we move on to the good part: my playoff predictions. Now if you don't know how this works, the first round is called the Wild Card Round, the second round is the Divisional Round, and the round before the Superbowl is the Conference Championship. In the Wildcard Round the sixth seeded team in each conference plays the third seeded team in the same conference while the fourth and fifth seeds from the same conference play each other. The winner of those games advance to the Divisional Round where the lowest seed to advance in each conference plays the highest seed. The winner of those advance to the conference championship, and then the Superbowl. I'd hope, if you are American, you would already know that...but I thought I would help you out if you didn't.


Wildcard Round

In the NFC Wildcard round lets start with the Saints vs Eagles. I think Brees and the Saints will put up a fight, but Eagles will pull off in the end: Eagles 31, Saints 20.

Then in the second wild card game for the NFC is the Cowboys vs Cardinals. I think the Cowboys pass all over the Cardinals, and humiliate their offense: Cowboys 38, Cardinals 17.

Next we shift to the AFC where the Jets take on the Chargers. I think this will be the best game we see in the playoffs but Norv Turner and the Chargers will lose in overtime: Chargers 27, Jets 24



The second game for the AFC is the Ravens vs the Texans. Now I think this may be a good game as well. I really like the Ravens, but at the same time Houston can attack in a lot of different ways. I'm going to take the Ravens, but just by a hair: Ravens 27, Texans 24.

 Divisonal Round

So like I said, after the wildcard round we move to the divisional round. The first game in the NFC is the Packers taking on the Cowboys. I think Cowboys will put up a fight at the beginning, but the Packers offense will be too much for the Cowboys young secondary: Packers 34, Cowboys 24.


The second game in the NFC is the Eagles taking on the Falcons for the second time of the season. The Falcons got the first round bye because they won the head to head matchup in week two of the regular season. But who can win it later in the season? I think the Falcons will find a way to contain Vick and McCoy and end up winning this one: Falcons 20, Eagles 14.


Then we move over to the AFC where the Chargers take on the Patriots. Rivers make an attempt for a comeback at the end, but I think the Patriots will hold on: Patriots 37, Chargers 30.

The final divisional match-up is the Ravens and the Steelers; another divisional rivalry. This is going to be another great game. I really like both of these teams this year but I think Ravens will win it on a game winning field goal: Ravens 16, Steelers 14.


Conference Championships

One last game. One more win to get to that Superbowl from here. In the NFC we have the Packers vs the Falcons and in the AFC the Patriots vs the Ravens. So who's it going to be?


In the NFC there is the Packers vs the Falcons that will be played in Green Bay. This was the match-up we saw last year in the divisional round. The Packers prevailed, and later went on the Superbowl. The Packers, with their team healthy, are going to make it past the Falcons with a little help from their defense: Packers 30, Falcons 20.


In the AFC it will be the Ravens taking on the Patriots. The Patriots, with only two losses all year, and Brady are really going to step up in this one. But I think the Ravens will make big plays on defense that will bring home an AFC Championship: Ravens 27, Patriots 21.


Superbowl XLVI
The long journey, all season these two teams fought to get here. Packers for the second straight time. Ravens for the first time in over 10 years. Both looking for a championship. Both teams have the defense, but the Packers have the more dominant offense with Aaron Rodgers. So, my 2011-2012 Superbowl Champions are the Green Bay Packers by a score of 24 to 17. The MVP is Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers bring the championship back to Green Bay for the second straight year.

Also, Wednesday I will be releasing my week one fantasy rankings. But until then, don't forget to follow me on Twitter @TheFFAddict, and you can always email me any questions or comments to cshardy@att.net.

Overvalued RBs and Undervalued/Overvalued WRs

Another day, and more recommendations for your draft. Today is going to be all about the overvalued running backs in your draft, as well as some undervalued and overvalued wide receivers. Let's touch on some news real quick so we can get right to it.

After weeks of holding out, Chris Johnson signed a contract extension with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday afternoon, ending the most frightful hold out of the off season. The deal was reported to be a four-year, $53.5 million contract, with $30 million guaranteed money. He will not play the final preseason game but is expected to play in week one of the regular season. Obviously a huge break for fantasy owners, especially those in keeper leagues who owned Chris Johnson. I'm sure he won't be 100% ready to go week one because he is not yet in football form, but he should still be fine. I rank him as my third running back still though. If Arian Foster is playing week one (highly unlikely) I would put Johnson at fourth and Foster at three.

Looks like Chris Johnson is getting some new grills.

Now that we got the main news out of the way, we can move on to my overvalued/undervalued for the day. First is running backs, and a guy that is really grinding my gears right now is Darren McFadden. He is being drafted like a top ten fantasy running back. The guy was very inconsistent last year, and he is known to get injured a lot. To go along with all of that, Raiders offense got worse this off season. Not only was DMC inconsistent last year (under nine points four times and sat out three times), but the Raiders seem to want to give Michael Bush to get the rock more this year. If Bush runs good, McFadden could be seeing more of a split in the backfield, and that would be ugly. I wouldn't take this guy until mid-to-late second round.

Another guy that is overvalued is Shonn Greene. I really don't expect him to have that much more of a role in the Jets' backfield this year. He is going in the fourth round ahead of guys like Felix Jones, Knowshon Moreno, and Jahvid Best. All of the above are better options then Shonn Greene. Yeah, Greene's role is going to increase, but I don't think he should be drafted over guys who have locked up a starting job. Plus, Greene has had a pretty pathetic preseason. He shows me no reason to be drafting him in the fourth round.

Now we move on to the hardest position to pick players from: the wide receivers. With so much depth and so many players having great preseasons (not that I put a ton of stock into preseason, but I'm just saying that it is a great way to find ) it's a really hard decision as to what guys are going to be true sleepers. I have a lot more deep guys at the wide receiver position than I do at the running back position. I will probably do three undervalued (that's a tough choice to make) and one or two overvalued for the wide receivers.

My first undervalued wide receiver is a really deep sleeper by the name of Brian Robiskie. Sound familiar? Browns receiver. Ring a bell? No? Scored two touchdowns in the last two weeks last year? Here, let me Google that for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Brian+Robiskie. That might help! He is the first wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns. He has had a fair preseason, and finished last season strongly. I think there is going to be a WR that Colt McCoy is going to hook up with all year, and I think that guy is going to be Brian Robiskie. A second guy? A deep sleeper TE Evan Moore. He is also having a good preseason.

Robiskie may just be my deepest sleeper for this year.

Now that you heard a deep sleeper, let's go with a familiar name now: Jerome Simpson. He is also a WR1 but for the Cincinnati Bengals. He has had a very quiet preseason although he blew up after Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens sat in the final two games of the 2010 regular season . He was activated in week 15 last year for his third time of the year (he was also active in weeks one and five). His first game (week 15) he didn't do much, only catching two passes for 30 yards. In the two weeks to follow he went off with a total of 247 yards and a combined three touchdowns. He is being drafted in a lot of leagues, and I am telling you right now to watch out for this guy during the season. I think he could come from nowhere and have a top 15 season with AJ Green playing opposite of him.

Don't worry Jerome, you won't miss him much.

My final sleeper is Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts. He is not being drafted in pretty much every league. He is the WR2 on the Cardinals official depth chart and with Kevin Kolb there and Larry Fitzgerald drawing the double team, Roberts could find some holes in the defense. If Kolb is looking for this guy, he could have a great season. He has had only 57 yards in the first three preseason games, but I expect him to have nice season playing opposite Fitzgerald.

Although there are a lot more sleeper WRs that I like (Darius Heyward-Bey, Anthony Armstrong, Michael Jenkins), I think we should move on to overvalued WRs. I am just going to real quickly run over a few guys I don't like for where you have to take them in the draft. Plaxico Burress is going way to high for me to take him right now. His ADP is in the eighth round ahead of Sidney Rice, Santana Moss, AJ Green, and Steve Smith from Carolina. I think Burress has upside, but only to a certain extent. Taking him in the eighth round with all of those guys on the board is absolute ridiculous. I wouldn't take Burress until around the 11th round in my draft.

My second and last overvalued WR is Vincent Jackson. Jackson is going in the mid second round right now ahead of Greg Jennings, Hakeem Nicks, and Mike Wallace. I think people are too high on this guy. I know he is very talented but you can't forget that Rivers has a top TE (Antonio Gates), Malcom Floyd, and a receiving running back (Ryan Matthews) who can all catch the ball. People are drafting Jackson way too high right now, and for no real reason.

That is all for my running backs and wide receivers. Come back Saturday for my rankings. Next week will be all about NFL predictions and other things. Not much fantasy except for overvalued and undervalued TEs. All of you drafting this weekend good luck with your draft and I hope to see you back next week, Until then you can follow me on Twitter @TheFFAddict: Link: http://twitter.com/#!/theffaddict.
