I am a lucky guy. Not lucky enough to win the lottery, or find $20 on the ground, or even get more food than I ordered at McDonald’s. But boy did I luck up in fantasy football so far.
My running back core is Michael “The Burner” Turner, DeAngelo “The Savior” Williams, and Chris “Dash” Johnson. I know, I know. How in the hell did you land all of those studs?
We won’t get into any particulars but this was a pretty good auction draft. First off, I had the second-best record in the league, and secondly, my wide receivers were garbage. Plus, these guys were actually off the board as fast as your regulars, L.T., Peterson, and Barber, but wow have they produced.
Sensing that my luck was about to turn, the last few weeks I went into battle mode. I dove into heavy training with checking on stats, my matchups, playoffs week schedules, potential suspensions, past games performances, and all the fantasy articles available to read.
After three days, I was in Pacquiao mode. (Side note: Oscar, please retire. We love you. Stick to promotions. Pacquiao beat the brakes off you. That was the fight of the year, nothing even close, but for the wrong reason. Who doesn’t like to see a train wreck, even if it was the Little Engine that Could taking on Amtrak?)
I’m back. After my research, here are a list of key guys for Week 15 that probably are still available of the wire or on someone’s bench that may be bribed with a back room deal of Hooters wings.
Anthony Gonzalez – WR – Colts
The Colts play Detroit. Enough said. The only hope is that they don’t get up too fast too early. And if they do…
Dominic Rhodes – RB – Colts
Does anyone trust Addai to finish a game anymore? Rhodes was a great re-hire for the Colts and should be on your fantasy team also.
Le’Ron McClain – RB – Ravens
Sticking with the AFC, this mammoth of a man strikes the fear of Bettis into opposing defenders and rightfully so. McClain had 63 yards and a TD last time versus the Steelers and it is in the Ravens best interest to keep this game slow and ugly.
Maurice Morris – RB – Seahawks
The Seahawks have been terrible this year, but there is one team in there division that is worse—the St. Louis Rams. Morris didn’t play the first matchup against the Rams and expects to pad some numbers this week. Joining him will be...
Deion Branch – WR- Seahawks
Branch is finally started to mold into the form that Seattle hoped after getting him from the Patriots a few years ago. Branch caught his first two TDs of the year last week and it seems that he is on the same page as Seneca Wallace.
