Chick Fantasies

Week 4 Fantasies

All last week we fantasized about Peyton and his peppy Colts and what we thought would be a good old-fashioned scoring orgy. Instead we were left frustrated and confused. You can bet that after leaving us unfulfilled last week, we chicks are happy to be taking a weeklong break from those big teases. Instead we’ve shifted our roving eyes to some able-bodied gents who WON’T let us down!

Fantasy Studs:
Jimmy Smith: As fantasy owners, this oft-injured lad scares us on draft day. But we certainly aren’t afraid of ol’ Jimmy this week as he goes up against the dinged-up Seahawks! The Seattle cover boys are as slutty as they come. They never met a receiver they wouldn’t let score!
Ron Dayne: With Tiki nursing an ailing hammy, the Giants’ tubby back will have plenty of opportunities to strut his stuff. After a bit of a disappointing rookie season, Ron started to look like the college star we salivated over. Seeing as the ‘Skins have already rolled over and called it a season, Dayne should have no problem repeating last week’s beefy numbers.
Correll Buckhalter: Staley’s backup put on a pretty convincing performance against Dallas on Sunday night. The ‘Boys may not be what they used to be (OK, so that’s the understatement of the day!), however the Cardinals aren’t far behind in the dogfight for the #1 draft pick. Until Sunday Falcon backup Maurice Smith was an unknown commodity and was left undrafted in most fantasy leagues. But somehow he managed to run circles around the flailing Cardinals. There’s no reason to believe that the Arizona boys won’t fall victim to this bench warmer as well.
Lamar Smith: If there is one thing we learned from being New England fans for all these years, it’s that the Patsies will always let you down. The crowds went nuts in Foxboro last week as the Patriots shut down the usually unstoppable Edgerrin and his mates. But now that our expectations are high, the Pats are sure to fall flat on their butts. The Patriots enter the Miami heat at the worst possible time – after the Dolphins got smoked by the rockin’ Rams. The ferocious Miami boys will be playing for pride and redemption as they try to rid themselves of the sour taste left by Sunday’s debacle.

Fantasy Duds:
Trent Green: The Denver secondary has gotten a lot more prudish since Ray Rhodes came to town. Trent may have pumped away for 3 scores last week but he won’t get so lucky in Denver. The Broncos are also coming off a heart-breaking loss and will be out for blood come Sunday.
Ahman Green: Ahman has put up some very juicy numbers this season. However the testy Bucs will not let Green humiliated them inside their home. If the Packers are going to stay undefeated it will have to be on the virile arm of gunslinger Brett Favre.
