Time for another edition of Fantasy Football Out on a Limb. I scour NFL rosters to select a player who I feel will outperform a higher profile player in that given week. I base my decisions on matchups, player trends, and the ever-important hunch. To mix things up, I’ll occasionally do some two on one matchups or even pit RB or WR duos against each other. Sometimes I’ll spot a player some points.
Scoring
6 points for rushing or receiving TD
4 points for a passing TD
0.1 points per yard for rushing or receiving
0.05 points per passing yard.

Week 9 Picks
Quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck over Tony Romo
Hasselbeck should have field day against Detroit at home. Meanwhile, Romo takes on the Eagles in Philadelphia, which will be a hostile environment to say the least. They’ll bring the heat and force Romo into mistakes.
