Week 5 Fantasy Watch

After some coaching shakeups and quite a few injuries in the Steel City, your team might be in some need for the upcoming week.  Here are some suggestions which m ay help get the few extra points you need to win.

Pick Ups

Marc Bulger- Scott Linehan is gone and Bulger is back.  With interim coach Jim Haslett, Bulger could be throwing more and although it's the Rams bye week, he could be a steal towards the closing weeks of your fantasy season.

Mewelde Moore- At the beginning of week 4, no one though Moore would be in this position.  Whenever you can get your hands on a starting running back, even it's just for the next few weeks, its worth it.

Devin Hester- He is not a Pro Bowl receiver but for weeks you are shallow at wideout, it might not hurt to slip him into your lineup.  He also has the big play threat on special teams.  If you are willing to take a risk, Hester is a prime option.

Don't Bother-

Deuce Mcallister- Yes he is healthy but the Saints still have Reggie Bush.  Deuce is a much better runner than Bush but so far, the USC standout has proven that he has the ability to be a threat both as a back and a receiver. 

Lance Moore

He did have a huge week but the Saints are missing three of their top receivers.  He might shine for one more week but if you can, try to find a receiver who you will be able to keep for more than one match up. (unless you are that desperate) 

Drops

Jon Kitna- He has Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson but he plays on the worst team in the NFL.  Due to the Lions poor defense, Kitna has to try to force throws llate in games, usually ending up in quite a few mistakes.

Hank Baskett- DeSean Jackson has proven that he is the Eagles number 1 receiver and now that Reggie Brown is back, Baskett will fall into obscurity.   The Eagles also have Greg Lewis who is a more consistent threat than Baskett.  If Lewis is available he is more worthy of a pickup.
