Week 5 threw some surprises our way. Tony Romo
threw for more yards than he had in the previous two weeks combined and added 5
touchdown passes to his total of 14 for the season. Geno Smith looked
outstanding Monday night as the Jets beat the Falcon and Nick Foles stepped in
for Michael Vick to secure a win for the Eagles.
Peyton Manning is playing the best football of his life and
that is why he remains the number one quarterback. Drew Brees keeps
pace with the record books and will deliver a performance to remember against the
Patriots. That being said, for the Patroits to stay in this game they will need
to deliver offensively. Look for Tom Brady will respond with big
numbers this week after a poor performance last week. Gronk will only help his
stats in the red zone. Aaron Rodger and the Packers are back to their winning ways, look for him to score often against the Ravens as the Pack Attack will
look to help out their banged up defense by scoring lots of points. I think
that Cam Newton, RG3, and Kaepernick turn the corner this week. Look for them
to run early to set up the play action and passing later in the game.
Sleepers: Nick
Foles and Geno Smith
The Bucs will test Nick Foles early and he will have to pass to
set up McCoy and the run. I think that Foles steps up and passes well this week
look for him to throw over 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. I don’t think that Geno Smith
will play as well as he did on Monday but look for him to open up the field
with his running ability. I think that he is a good waiver wire stash for bye
weeks.
Struggles: Tony
Romo and Matt Schaub
Matt Schaub is not much of a deviation with how he has
played this season, but I think he struggles and T.J. Yates starts the second
half only to do just as bad. If you had Tony Romo sitting on your bench last
week you will certainly question yourself but don’t. You obviously have a
better option and while Romo can post great stats sometimes he falls apart
under pressure. The Cowboys don’t run the ball often which means it is up to
Romo pass often. Tony is a boom or bust fantasy player so when he gets
protection and can find his wide-out he is a top QB, but when he gets under duress
such as with his pick late in the game he tends to make mistakes. Coming off
the bye, I think the Redskins get the best of him this week.
