START EM WEEK 10

by Mike

Now I know this a little late -- we already had Thursday night's game with the raiders and chargers.  If for someone reason you didn’t start Michael bush, then you missed out.  If you started Phillip rivers (which I did) I understand your extreme disappointment. 

QB Michael Vick – This has not been Vick’s year.  He’s putting up decent numbers one week and crappy ones the next.  This week Vick squares off against a 27th ranked Arizona pass defense.  This defense is pretty bad and I can’t see any reason they will be able to contain Vick throwing or running the ball.  Start the Eagles QB with confidence.


WR Plaxico Burress – This one is kind of reaching.  Plaxico is going to play this Sunday.  The patriots have the worst pass defense in the league.  Even if Plax doesn’t kill it in yardage, he’s showing up big in the end zone.  Should have no problem getting moderate yardage and a TD.


WR Laurent Robinson – With Miles Austin out again and Dez Bryant being his normal fluky self, Robinson can really reap the benefits.  Tony Romo needs a solid reliable target and Robinson has accepted the challenge.  Robinson was targeted 5 times last week and caught every one of them including one for a TD.  You can expect more targets this week as Miles Austin misses more time this week with a hamstring injury.

WR Larry Fitzgerald – Larry Fitz will be facing the Philadelphia secondary this weekend and he should be played with confidence.  The Eagles have really struggled against big time receivers this year and Fitz’s size and strength should present a good match-up problem for them.  Fitz has been kind of iffy this year but I have no problem starting this week with or without Kevin Kolb.


RB Maurice Jones-Drew – This one might be kind of a no brainer but I think there might be some people who have made good moves on the waiver and MJD finds himself a seat on the bench.  Make sure you get him in your lineup this week, he should have no problem dominating Indy’s horrible run defense.  The Colts rank 31st week and they just stink.  MJD should have a great game, start em.


TE Brent Celek – I’ve seen enough.  Last week I mentioned him and this week I’m telling you.  Start Brent Celek.  Vick has been looking his way lately and with the down field ball not working, it should continue.  TE’s have seen some success against Arizona’s defense and Vick should be well aware of this.
