LaDainian Tomlinson San Diego Chargers vs

LouisKevin Smith has not done nearly as well as fantasy experts predicted coming into the season, but a lot has been due to the Lions falling behind often. Whether this game becomes a high-scoring affair or not, the Rams and the Lions will be showcasing their RBs because,well, they don’t have much else to showcase. LaDainian Tomlinson (San Diego Chargers) vs. Tomlinson has failed to top 71 rushing yards this season, but some critics believe his explosiveness is coming back. That is obviously a good sign before playing the Raiders, who he has absolutely dominated throughout his career.This could be a patented LT game that shows 100 total yards and two TDs coming his way.

RB Darren Sproles has proven he cannot run inside the tackles, but he will steal some third downs from LT. WIDE RECEIVERS – START ‘EMGreg Jennings (Green Bay Packers) vs. MinnesotaWe understand your potential hatred for a WR that you drafted in rounds two-three and has failed miserably as a fantasy provider. Steve Smith (Carolina Panthers) ArizonaAgainst an awful Cardinals pass defense (with an awful NFL QB), Steve Smith, the Carolina version, could do his best Steve Smith impression this weekend.

Smith is still a super-talented WR, so he has to turn it around sooner or later. Baltimore’s pass defense isn’t bad, but considering their rush defense is still Top 10, Kyle Orton may be forced to throw more than average. TIGHT ENDS – START ‘EMBrandon Pettigrew (Detroit Lions) vs St. LouisThis is the week that the first round pick pays dividends. While he hasn’t been much (any) of a fantasy factor this season, we think that he could see more passes with thequestionable status of star WR Calvin Johnson. Pettigrew is a big target and could definitely come up big for fantasy owners stressing for a TE in week eight This is for the deepest leagues.

KICKERS – START ‘EMRobbie Gould (Chicago Bears) vs. ClevelandChicago may not struggle to punch the football in the end zone in week eight, so Gould may not be kicking three-to-four FGs. While we typically don’t like kickers in Chicago, it is not supposed to be windy, and it looks like a clear Sunday afternoon, so start/pick up Robbie, and find fantasy Gould in week eight DEFENSES – START ‘EMChicago Bears D/ST vs. The Browns have a bottom three QB (Is Derek Anderson worse than JaMarcus Russell or Jake Delhomme this season Let’s throw Kerry Collins into that mix too), a weak offensive line, no trueplay-maker other than KR/RB/WR/QB Josh Cribbs, so the Bears D/ST could be ridiculous this weekend.With a strong pass rush, they could force big mistakes for Derek Anderson, and their Special Teams play with Johnny Knox and Devin Hester could provide a ST TD, which is where the fantasy money is.FOR MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL INSIGHT AND ADVICE, CLICK THE LINK BELOW...BRUNO BOYS FANTASY FOOTBALL THIS ARTICLE WRITTEN BY BRUNO BOY JACOB LERMAN ..
