Chick Fantasies

Week 5 Fantasies

We chicks are still spinning from Monday Night’s episode of “The Greatest Show on Earth”. Kurt and the gang will certainly be fueling our fantasies all week as we look forward to another week of titillating bouts. We’re positive that they’ll continue to rock our fantasy worlds when the G-men come to town. But they are not the only fellas we chicks are yearning to catch a glimpse of this weekend. We predict a big weekend of studly performances coming our way.

Fantasy Studs:
Terrell Owens: This strapping receiver started out a tad slow but he sure did come to life last week against the Panthers. We chicks are predicting more of the same this week as the 49’ers take on the flailing Falcons. Nothing gets a receiver pumped up for action like a meeting with the worst ranked pass defense!
Marcus Robinson: The Bears offense has suddenly taken on a new life since Jim Miller stepped up to the plate. We chicks believe having Marcus Robinson back and begging for action certainly does make Jim’s job easier. Well, this weekend life will be a lot easier for every Bear that steps his toe onto the field. They get the good fortune of going against the sluttiest defense in the league when they go head to head with Arizona. Last week Robinson had awe-inspiring numbers, but this week we predict Marcus won’t stop at one score.
Keyshawn Johnson: Ordinarily a matchup against Tennessee is enough to send Titanic shivers down a man’s spine. However, this season Fisher’s unit just isn’t getting the job done. The Titans are currently 27th in the league in pass defense. Now they have the added challenge of losing Pro Bowl cornerback Samari Rolle. Johnson and Johnson may not have shared the thrill of a score yet this season, but it looks like their luck is about to change.
Emmitt Smith: It has been very painful watching the league’s classiest premier running back get stuffed all season. Don’t get us wrong – Emmitt is in for one very long year. But this week will be one of his few highlights. The ‘Boys are playing the ‘Skins on Monday Night Football. Emmitt has always enjoyed performing for large audiences – now he gets to work his best moves against a team that packed it months before the season ever got underway. Helping Emmitt’s cause even further is the fact that Quincy Carter is out with a torn hammy. Anthony Wright may have his issues, but he certainly does open up the game a bit.

Fantasy duds:
Ahman Green: This dude certainly started off the season on fire. But last week we chicks warned you that he’d be in for a rude awakening against the Bucs. And we were right – the powerful Pack-man finished with only 59 yards and no touchdowns. So now maybe you’ll all heed our warning when we tell you once again: Beware of Ahman. He will break your heart again this week. Green is going up against the most ferocious run defense in the league. Ray Lewis and his fired-up mates will make it one long and painful afternoon for poor Ahman.
Corey Dillon: We used to think of the Cleveland Browns as pushovers. After all, they let absolutely anybody get in. But Butch Davis has taught his boys that it is OK to just say “no”. His rough and tough “D” has been shutting down offenses all season in route to an amazing 3-1 record. Look for more of the same when the Browns and Bengals go at it in a game that actually means something (Wow – times have certainly changed!).
