Good luck!

THE FURNACE’S WEEK 11 PICKUPS

FIVE PICKUPS-WEEK #11

1. LANCE BALL-RB-Broncos- RB Knowshon Moreno (knee) is out for the season. Willis McGahee is day-to-day with a hamstring issue and so it appears that Lance will have the ‘Ball’ and a heavy workload this Thursday when the Broncos face the Jets at Mile High. Ball carried the rock 30 times last week when McGahee went down and just missed reaching the century mark. With a strong Jet’s pass defense headed by Revis Island, look for the Broncos to run & run often. He’s owned in just 11% of Yahoo! leagues.

2) DENARIUS MOORE-WR-Raiders- Clearly Moore has been QB Carson Palmer’s favorite receiver through his two weeks under center. Palmer has targeted Moore 19 times in those games. The nearest to him has been WR Jacoby Ford with 9. Moore also has 9 receptions good for 184 yards and two touchdowns. He is also 9th among receivers with 20 or more receptions. Amazingly, Moore is still available in 40% of Yahoo! leagues. Hard to figure for a guy who’s been a WR1 with Palmer at QB.

3) KENDALL HUNTER-RB-49ERS- RB Frank Gore left last week’s game vs the Giants with ankle and knee pain and coach Jim Harbough has already stated that he might see “limited action” this week vs the Cardinals. Gore, no stranger to injuries, would be best served to try and heal his ailments so that he would be at full capacity when the 49ers take on the Ravens in Baltimore a week from this Thursday. Hunter is available in 77% of Yahoo! leagues so grab him if you need a back this week.

4) BRENT CELEK-TE-Eagles- For those of you in need of a TE this week (TE Owen Daniels is one TE on a bye week), then Celek should be more than serviceable for you. Targeted 25 times in the last three games, more than in his first six, Celek has 18 receptions in that span. Eagle QB Michael Vick (two cracked ribs) has said that he is unsure if he will start against the Giants on Sunday night and if backup QB Vince Young takes over, Celek’s value goes up even further as he will need to rely more on dump-offs in his first game this season. Celek is only owned in 33% of Yahoo! leagues.

5) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS-DEFENSE- This is an opportunity to pick up some nice fantasy points in your league especially for those who do not have Houston (bye week). The Jags are a top five rated defense. They are going up against an anemic and Peyton Hillis-less team that hasn’t scored more than 12 points in any game over the past four weeks. Throw in the fact that they have allowed 14 sacks and have only scored two touchdowns over that same period, and you have the makings of a 12-16 fantasy point week.

THE ‘FURNACES’ WEEK 3 PICKUPS

FIVE FANTASY PICKUPS-WEEK #3

1) FRED DAVIS-TE-Redskins- Chris Cooley’s surgically repaired knee has not helped ward off the emergence of Fred Davis so far this year. Cooley missed most of the preseason because of the swelling on his knee and only has 2 catches for 21 yards through the first 2 games. Davis, with 11 catches for 191 yards and a score is clearly the go to end on the ‘Skins. He’s currently owned in just 24% of Yahoo! leagues.

2) ERIC DECKER-W/R-Broncos- With Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal both dealing with groin injuries, Decker went off vs the Bengals. He had five receptions good for 113 yards and and 2 TDs. True, his value takes a hit with the return of Lloyd, but he will continue to be part of the Broncos offense going forward and will make for a serviceable WR2 in most leagues. Owned in 22% of Yahoo! leagues, he should be picked up in 10-12 team leagues.

3)BENGALS DEFENSE- We know this selection sounds strange to most, but consider that the Cincinnati ‘Bungles’ are eighth in pass defense and ninth in total defense through the first 2 weeks of the season. Sunday they’ll play the 49ers who are 29th in passing offense and 31st in total offense. Doesn’t sound that far-fetched now does it?

4)DENARIUS MOORE-W/R-Raiders- Moore had five catches for 146 yards and a score vs the Bills last Sunday. With injuries to Louis Murphy (groin) and Jacoby Ford (hamstring), Moore, owned in just 19% of Yahoo! leagues, is a must pickup.

5)REX GROSSMAN-QB-Redskins- Grossman, owned in only 22% of Yahoo! leagues, has put up nearly 600 yards passing and 4 TD’s in the first two weeks, is an excellent pickup this week. He’ll be facing a banged up Cowboy secondary ( their offense is depleted as well). Grossman currently ranks 6th in the NFL in passing and 6th in passing TD’s. Go get him!

*INSURANCE PICKUP:

TOBY GERHART-RB-VIKINGS- Someone to stash in your deeper leagues, Gerhart’s highlights last week included a 42 yard reception and a 31 yard run. Put him somewhere on your bench should Adrian Peterson go down with an injury. He would make a formidable back up.
