Fantasy Football Week 10 Predictions & Prognostications – Fantasy Angels & Demons!

I am not Matthew Berry. I do not get compensation for writing this. I am not famous by way of my full-time career at ESPN. I do not have a receding hairline. No one emails me hate mail about my Angels & Demons section. I am not all that good at Fantasy Football.

Now, I can see you shaking your head in disagreement and exclaiming, “ But Sean, your all alone in first place at 7-2 and have not scored under 100 fantasy points in any week, so this must mean you are the best, Ever!” I can clearly see you saying that. Clearly. But alas, thanks to some well timed performances and mostly correct choices in who to start and who to sit, my team has somehow risen to the top, for now.

Just like the NFL this season, our fantasy league is ripe with parity, and to prove this point.
* EV’s All-stars = (5-4) overall on a 3 game win streak. Look good to make it 4 this week!
* 3rd highest scoring team in the league, Hot Tub (4-5) sits in sixth place and each week rides on Aaron Rodgers Mustachioed shoulders
* Stop the Bleeding (3 consecutive losses) is 3-0 playing imaginary “away games” the only undefeated Road team
* Team Hot Tub is the only winless team playing on their imaginary “Home Field” 0-4
* Hasselbeck Girl has not scored less then 100 points…ever. Just Saying. 6 straight wins!
* Calvin & Da Munks have dropped 4 in a row.
* Its like trying to read the stars in predicting winners and losers each week, save for, Hassel beck & Calvin.
* Bottom line. This league is all about QB’s. Even if you RB or WR goes bezerk. (I.e. – T.O. or DeSean or Hakeem Nicks or Michael Turner or Darren McFadden) If your QB’s suck squirrel giblets, then your team is doomed. (CSI Results – Schaub & Henne/Kolb (both starters now benchwarmers))

So using that segue of parity, we delve into this weeks matchups. Now we do have the benefit of Thursdays games already having been played, and we can’t pretend we covered our eyes. Much love to Roddy & Matty Ice! (P.S. – Matty Ice says “Hi” from the bench!) Flacco & Boldin get some props as well.

Trying to keep this somewhat mainstream for people to actually use and still keeping it tied to our league as well, I am going to pick a couple of Fantasy Angels & a couple of Fantasy Demons. Players (Angels) we think will deliver the Fantasy goods this week include;

Hasselbeck Girl vs. Team RC
Arian Foster & Roddy White (31 pts) See, I told you I cheated! Arian Foster versus Jaguars D. D stands for Delicious!
David Garrard vs. Houston & Jahvid Best versus Buffalo – Garrard by default of playing worst passing defense & if Jahvid is ever going to have a good game, this logically, has to be the one. Right?

EV’s All-Stars vs. M & R, Inc.
Josh Freeman & Mojo should DO WORK. Freeman faces Carolina Kitties & Mojo faces Houston in what should be a shoot out. Lots of juicy points to go around in that game. P.S. – Flacco already dropped 23 golden nuggets on ATL. Nice Job Wacco!
Peyton Manning is who we thought he was. The Bucs Defense will score some points this week, fo sho.

Stop the Bleeding vs. Calvin & Da Munks.
Sam Bradford against SF 49ers looks a lot better then Tom Brady vs. Pitts D. So we hypothesize Bradford does decent. Steve Smith and Brandon Jacobs should both be able to feast on the Dallas Cowboys rotting carcass. As for Da Munks, Calvin Johnson facing Buffalo, Rashard Three Mendenhall & a Baby against Patriots & T.O. battling Indy (we think Cincy will be down big and that means more garbage time FF points for Carson & T.O., should bring the pain. BRING THE PAIN!

Scoring Early and Austin vs. Can I Get a Hot Tub?

This week could be another ridic performance for Eli Manning & Ahmad Bradshaw, facing the aforementioned bloated and stinky corpse which is America’s Team,.. Ladies and Gentlemen, Jon Kitna and your Dallas Cowboys. At least they have tremendous cheerleaders. We also think Jacob Tamme brings the Shammy and a boatload of points as Cincy’s corners are halfway decent, so dump off passes to Tamme seem like a good bet. For Hot Tub, Jamaal Charles versus Denvers Run D and Mike Sims-Walker against previously mentioned Houston Pass D should reap HUGE rewards fantasy point wise. We also like the Giants D against the poor, poor Cowboys.

The Big Benbowski vs. Team Rooster
We like us some Big Ben this week. Lately he has been a little rusty in Fantasy point regards, but this week he makes it up to his owners. Also the WR’s Hakeem Nicks (basically all the NY Football Giants) and Larry Fitzgerald against Seattle (now that Breaston is marginally healthy). (P.S. – As previously mentioned, Matt Ryan was left on the bench as he dropped (32 pts) on Baltimore. Oy Vey. For Rooster, Carson palmer & Thomas Jones should have solid days and we like Visanthe Shiancoe as Percy Harvin is dealing with headaches again and Sidney Rice is probably a no go this week. Favre has to throw 40 times to someone. Might as well be Shaincoe.

One loser (Demon) from each teams matchup, include;

Hasselbeck Girl vs. Team RC
Brett Favre against one of the best pass defenses this year in Chicago and slim receiving corp. Ouch.
Jon Kitna at the NYG. OMG. He is gonna be buried next to Hoffa by the time this game is over, even if its played on turf. Sack City, USA.

EV’s All-Stars vs. M & R, Inc.
The Ravens Defense. (3 pts) Seriously, we really like EV’s All-stars this week, so we would have picked the D. Just Saying.
Colt McCoy against the NYJ Defense. Look, Colt has been more impressive then anyone could ask, against the Steelers, Saints & Patriots (2 wins BTW), but 3 out of 4 just seems like too much too ask. Just Saying.

Stop the Bleeding vs. Calvin & Da Munks.
Screw it. Michael Turner (3 pts) against Baltimore Run D. Easy pick.
Unsure how Donovon reacts this week, with benching but facing former team on Monday night. So we assume he performs solid and instead pick surprise failure from Matt Schaub, just because we think Arian Foster runs wild and Schaub throws a couple INT’s.

Scoring Early and Austin vs. Can I Get a Hot Tub?
Ryan Torain – The rest of the roster looks ready for “Beast Mode” this week, so Torain with his gimpy Hammy against a stingy Philly D. No Thanks.
I guess, Aaron Rodgers (On a BYE) but we think Danny picks up a different QB, irregardless, its gonna be bad, whomever he picks (Pennington, Clausen, Pike, or whoever the 2nd string QB is in Denver) (P.S. – Alex Smith is injured and likely won’t start, so that’s not good.)

The Big Benbowski vs. Team Rooster
Ronnie Brown facing the Titans D. Nope. Don’t want any, we aint buying. Talk to the Hand. Nope.
We think Mike Vick does worse then usual this Monday night. He always seems one poor decision away from another injury and Washington has put some people on the DL, including Vick, the first time this season. Just Saying.

HG – 124 RC – 89
