Phenoms FF - OMEGA 10 #4 News Articles |
| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Santana Moss | (RotoWire) Moss caught five passes for 38 yards in Week 11. Analysis: The 'Skins are unable to protect Campbell which prevents them from utilizing Moss's speed down field. | 44 minutes | |
| 2. | Benjarvus Green-Ellis | (RotoWire) Green-Ellis carried five times for 10 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Green-Ellis could move down a notch in the Patriots' running back pecking order as soon as next week, if Sammy Morris returns Monday against the Saints. | 2 hours | |
| 3. | Hines Ward | (RotoWire) Ward hauled in 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Analysis: Ward gets back into the passing attack in a huge way as he had just 12 receptions and 71 yards receiving over the last three games combined. He is certainly not showing his age as the 33-year old leads the team in catches (63), yards (798) and is tied for the lead in touchdowns (5). | 4 hours | |
| 4. | Matt Ryan throws for 268 yards, 2 TDs | (Rotoworld) Matt Ryan completed 26-of-46 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: Ryan played scared in the first half against a swarming Giants front-seven, but he showed signs of emerging from his five-game funk in the second half. He completed 10 straight passes at one point and led the Falcons to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a game-tying 11-yard bullet to Tony Gonzalez with 30 seconds left. He's a borderline QB1 against the Bucs porous defense next week. | 5 hours | |
| 5. | Steelers | Ward catches 10 passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards with a touchdown reception Week 11. | 5 hours | |
| 6. | Moss gets five catches in loss | (Rotoworld) Santana Moss caught five passes for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: It's more of the same for Moss. He runs short crossing routes that end up as small gains. Moss hasn't scored since Week 4 and must be benched against the Eagles next week. | 6 hours | |
| 7. | Peyton Manning | (RotoWire) Manning threw for 299 yards with one touchdown and a pair of interceptions in Sunday's 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: While Manning didn't have his best game statistically, he made his fair share of big plays, including a huge third-down-and-one conversion to Reggie Wayne late in the game to ice the win. Manning has thrown for 3,171 yards through 10 games and is still on pace to challenge Dan Marino's NFL record for most passing yards in a season (5,084 set in 1984). | 6 hours | |
| 8. | Hines Ward catches 10 passes in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Hines Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: Ward was targeted 14 times as Big Ben's go-to receiver. He took advantage of Roethlisberger's escapability, finding an opening in the end zone for an 8-yard score in the second quarter. He's on pace for 101 receptions and 1,277 yards in his age-33 season. Consider him a WR2 at Baltimore next week. | 6 hours | |
| 9. | Crayton catches game-winner | (Rotoworld) Patrick Crayton caught one pass for 10 yards and the game-winning touchdown in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: Crayton's touchdown came when Tony Romo bought all kinds of time with his legs in the red zone. He's still the No. 4 option at best in this passing game and is probably best left on the waiver wire. | 6 hours | |
| 10. | Colts | Manning passes for nearly 300 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning went 22-for-31 for 299 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 11. | 6 hours | |
| 11. | Williams held without a catch in win | (Rotoworld) Roy E. Williams was held without a catch in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: This was an abysmal performance by the entire Cowboys' offense. Williams had a chance for a big catch over the middle in the first half but got alligator arms and dropped it. Coming off two straight five-catch performances, this is an obvious setback. He'll be WR3 against the Raiders on Thursday. | 6 hours | |
| 12. | Jason Elam | (RotoWire) Elam made 1-of-2 field goals and four extra points on Sunday against the Giants. Analysis: The struggles continue for Elam. Elam is just 10-of-15 on field goals this season, and has just two kicks of 40 yards or more. | 6 hours | |
| 13. | Witten has his usual mediocre game | (Rotoworld) Jason Witten caught five passes for 43 yards in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: Games like this have become all too commonplace for Witten. His only catches come when he gets off the line and settles between the hashes for a seven-yard gain. He hasn't topped 77 yards in any games this season. He's still a low-end TE1 against the Raiders on Thanksgiving, but it's hard to expect much. | 6 hours | |
| 14. | Matt Ryan | (RotoWire) Ryan passed 26-of-46 with 268 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 31-34 loss to the Giants in overtime. Analysis: Ryan was able to snap his six-game interception streak and put together a solid performance against the Giants. More importantly, Ryan was able to lead the team back from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to force the overtime period, and really showed the poise and control we saw in his rookie season last year, which had yet to really show up in 2009. Despite the loss and coughing up a fumble that turned into a Giants touchdown, along with managing a game with a very thin running back depth chart, Ryan did a lot of things right on Sunday...

| 15. | Colts stay perfect with another narrow w... | (Rotoworld) Peyton Manning completed 22-of-31 yards for 299 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's win over the Ravens. Analysis: Manning wasn't anywhere near his best, but it was just barely enough. The Ravens made a point of taking Dallas Clark out of the game so Manning was forced to go to the much more unreliable Tom Santi. Manning will be an elite option against the Texans next week. | 7 hours | |
| 16. | Jones-Drew nets 84 yards, TD in Week 11 ... | (Rotoworld) Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 25 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and caught for passes for 18 yards Sunday as the Jaguars topped the Bills 18-15. Analysis: The Jags pounded the ball with Jones-Drew for most of the day, as expected. He had trouble breaking free, but still netted 84 yards and managed to find pay dirt on three-yard scamper in the second quarter. He remains a top fantasy play heading into next week's matchup with the 49ers. | 7 hours | |
| 17. | Broncos inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Denver Broncos have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the San Diego Chargers: G Seth Olsen, WR Brandon Lloyd, DE Robert Ayers, WR Kenny McKinley, OT Ryan Harris, DE Chris Baker, RB Lamont Jordan, and QB Tom Brandstater. Analysis: Kyle Orton is active but there is no word yet on whether or not he'll start against the Chargers. Chris Simms would get the start if Orton can't play. | 8 hours | |
| 18. | White questionable again | (FFChamps) Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver Roddy White is listed as questionable for the third consecutive week. The Falcons travel to New York to face the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: No worries here, White has been questionable the last three weeks, and looked fine each week. Expect more of the same in New York from Matt Ryan's favorite target on the outside. Assuming the status quo holds, and White is out there on Sunday, we have him as a top-15 play at wide receiver this weekend against a suspect Giants' secondary. | 1 day | |
| 19. | Stroud ruled out for Week 11 | (FFChamps) Buffalo Bills' defensive tackle Marcus Stroud (knee) has been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Analysis: Buffalo has the worst run defense in the league. Stroud is Buffalo's best run-stopper. Maurice Jones-Drew scores touchdowns whenever he wants to. He plays the Bills this weekend. How do you see this story ending? MJD was our No. 1 fantasy play at running back this weekend whether the big fella in the middle for the Bills played or not, but without Stroud clogging the lanes, Jones-Drew will probably ... (More) | 2 days | |
| 20. | Garcon questionable, but practices fully | (FFChamps) Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Pierre Garcon is listed as questionable to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11 because of his sore ankle, but practiced without restrictions again on Friday. Analysis: All indications are that Garcon is pretty much a lock to play this weekend against a once-feared Ravens' defense that will have a hard time stopping Peyton Manning and a presently-feared Colts' offense. Garcon practiced fully the last couple of days, and appears to be working through the ankle injury that kept him out of practice earlier in ... (More) | 2 days | |
| 21. | Broncos | Lloyd probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Denver Broncos WR Brandon Lloyd (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to be available. | 2 days | |
| 22. | Maurice Jones-Drew | (RotoWire) Jones-Drew gets a great matchup this week against the Bills, who rank last in the NFL in run defense. Analysis: Not that you really need an excuse to start Jones-Drew, but this game has as much potential as Tennessee's Chris Johnson had heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Bills. They have several defensive starters out, including Marcus Stroud, and have been getting shredded by the run all season. | 2 days | |
| 23. | Maurice Jones-Drew | (RotoWire) Jones-Drew, in the wake of the last-second kneel-down that cost thousands of fantasy owners their games on Sunday, has promised to score more to make up for his fantasy misdeed, according to ESPN.com. Analysis: Jones-Drew noted that "you should tell those 10,000 (the approximate number of ESPN players who lost their fantasy games last week due to Jones-Drew not scoring that final touchdown)) I will score next time." | 2 days | |
| 24. | Steelers | Ward returns to practice Thursday | (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) returned for the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 25. | Bears say Hester doesn't need 60 plays | (Rotoworld) Bears wide receivers coach Darryl Drake said that Devin Hester "doesn't need 60 plays." Analysis: Drake was talking about the progress of Devin Aromashodu and how he can fit into the offense. Still, it's hard to see Aromashodu cutting into Hester's playing time. Hester has been the team's most reliable receiver and appears fresh. Hester remains a decent WR2 against the Eagles' banged up secondary Sunday night. | 3 days | |
| 26. | Matt Ryan | (RotoWire) With the status of both Michael Turner (ankle) and Jerious Norwood (hip) still uncertain for Sunday against the Giants, Ryan may have more attempts than usual if the Falcons' running game struggles. Analysis: You should be starting Ryan anyway, but the team's success on Sunday will lean on Ryan's shoulders more so than any game in the quarterback's career. Jason Snelling, the odds-on starter if Turner and Norwood are unavailable, has shown promise in special running situations, but has had a history of injury himself after being placed on the IR last season. After beginning the season completing nearly 67 percent of his passes with only two interceptions over a ... (More) | 3 days | |
| 27. | Steelers | Ward misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 28. | Cowboys | Witten shut down in Week 10 | (KFFL) Jeff Caplan, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten had another quiet game in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. He had just five catches for 47 yards. "They have a good scheme," Witten said. "They put Woodson on me and I couldn't get open. They did a good job in coverage. I can't speak for everybody else, but for myself, I've got to play better than that." | 6 days | |
| 29. | Peyton Manning | (RotoWire) Manning was 28-of-44 for 327 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's win over New England. Analysis: Manning threw two second half interceptions in a rare stretch of bad decisions, but rallied the Colts to score twice in the final three minutes to win the game. He'll face another tough game next week against Baltimore, but Manning looks set to have a historic season as he's on pace to break Dan Marino's 1984 record of 5,084 passing yards in a season. | 6 days | |
| 30. | MJD first to top 100 on Rex Ryan since 2... | (Rotoworld) With 123 yards Sunday, Maurice Jones-Drew became the first running back to top 100 rushing yards against a Rex Ryan defense since Larry Johnson accomplished the feat in 2006. Analysis: Much of that can be attributed to the loss of NT Kris Jenkins (ACL), but Jones-Drew is enjoying an excellent season. He leads the league with 12 touchdowns while averaging 120 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry in his first stint as the Jags' every-down back. | 6 days | |
| 31. | Witten was covered by Woodson | (Rotoworld) The Packers used Charles Woodson to cover Jason Witten in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Analysis: Witten was held to five catches for 47 yards and admitted he couldn't get open. Defenses are keying on the tight end and his season-high for yardage is 77. Witten is probably the biggest disappointment at the position this season. | 6 days | |
| 32. | Colts | Manning throws four TD passes Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning was 28-for-44 for 327 yards with four touchdown passes and two interceptions Week 10 against the New England Patriots. | 6 days |
