Week 13 FantasiesWow – this season is getting exciting! While Gruden’s high-octane Raiders took a nosedive last week, other front-runners such as the 49ers and Rams pumped up their game another notch. And our hometown Pats look like they may be the real deal with young Brady at the helm. We chicks cannot wait until next weekend as the football studs go at it to fight for those coveted playoff spots. As we get closer and closer to playoff time, our fantasies just keep getting hotter. As always, we will share a few of our steamy fantasies with you. Fantasy studs:
Richard Huntley: The Carolina Panthers have not had much to celebrate this season. And certainly, they have struggled with their running game, only gaining 75.8 yards per game on the ground. However, this could be an ego-boosting week for the down and out Panthers. Huntley gets to strut his stuff against the 30th ranked rush defense. The flimsy Bills are letting up 137.2 rushing yards per game. If Huntley cannot produce some meaty numbers this week, then it may be time to cut the dude from your roster.
Jay Fiedler: Marino’s successor has taken his share of shots this season. His team is atop the AFC East, however he has had to fight speculation that his job is on shaky grounds. However, after leading his team to victory from behind in two straight weeks, suddenly Jay is looking rather pretty. This week Fiedler gets to strut his stuff on Monday Night Football. Fiedler will look like a hero as he leads the Dolphins at home against the Colts’ flimsy pass defense.
Antonio Freeman and Bill Schroeder: At the beginning of the season Schroeder was rocking while Freeman lagged behind. Then Antonio kicked up his game a notch while Schroeder subsided. Now both boys are finally healthy and effective at the same time. Against the Jaguars, both boys compiled over 100 yards receiving. It looks like it will be more fun this week for the torrid twosome as they face off against the league’s 30th ranked pass defense. It will be a hard-fought battle as the Packers and Bears fight for first place in the NFC Central. The Pack will choose to strike by air.
Randy Moss: This boy has been a dud for most of the season, but it appears he finally woke up. Daunte Culpepper may not be healthy enough to make passes at Randy, however Todd Bouman proved last week that he is man enough for the job. Fantasy duds:
Doug Flutie: Oh, how this dud selection pains us Flutie-lovin’ gals. Unlike some fair-weather fans, we chicks are not ready to abandon our Dougie just because he has had a few rough weeks. However, we are not wacky enough to think that Flutie’s fortunes will improve too much this week as he attempts to work his magic against the nasty Eagle defenders. The Philly boys are only allowing 161.7 passing yards per game, which does not bode well for our boy.
Curtis Martin: This dud pick is not any easier for us girls. We just adore this killer Jet. However, the beautiful back is in for an ugly day as he roughs it out against the meanest rush defense in the league. Nobody is playing fiercer “D” than the Pittsburgh lads. Sorry, Curtis…we still love you!
