Fantasy Football – Week 6

Will this be the week I get the elusive 4-0? We’ll find out on Sunday. I have some good matchups, but a couple of them could go either way. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Note, players marked with a * are players on a bye this week. If they are changed before 3:00 today, I’ll update this post. If they are changed after that point, I’ll let you know in this week’s results post.

League: The Dirty South
Matchup: Vengeance – Saints
Projection: Vengeance 79 – Saints 45
Notes: I know Greg better than to think he’s gonna let his team slide with three major point-producing positions taken by people on a bye…but then again, stranger things have happened. Either way, I’ve already beat him once this season, and I’m fairly confident that I can do it again.
Lineups:

Vengeance	Saints
QB – Tony Romo (Dal)	QB – Peyton Manning (Ind)*
WR – Patrick Crayton (Dal)	WR – Steve Smith (Car)
WR – Drew Carter (Car)	WR – Donald Driver (G.B.)
WR – Derrick Mason (Bal)	WR – Plaxico Burress (N.Y.G)
RB – Shaun Alexander (Sea)	RB – DeShaun Foster (Car)
RB – LaMont Jordan (Oak)	RB – Sammy Morris (N.E.)
TE – Benjamin Watson (N.E.)	TE – Antonio Gates (S.D.)
WR/RB – Thomas Jones (N.Y.J)	WR/RB – Dwayne Bowe (K.C.)
K – Josh Brown (Sea)	K – Adam Vinatieri (Ind)*
DEF – Jacksonville	DEF – Detroit*

League: Interstate Football Freaks (vn)
Matchup: Vengeance – Bills and Eagles
Projection: Vengeance 80 – Bills and Eagles 75
Notes: Another squeaker. I’m fairly certain that with Tampa Bay’s troubles on the O line, Jeff Garcia’s gonna have a low-scoring day. The only one who really bothers me is Donte’ Stallworth…he’s been a goo target for Tom Brady, and I don’t think that’s going to change this week.
Lineups:

Vengenace	Bills and Eagles
QB – Tom Brady (N.E.)	QB – Jeff Garcia (T.B.)
RB – Ron Dayne (Hou)	RB – Brandon Jacobs (N.Y.G)
RB – LenDale White (Ten)	RB – DeShaun Foster (Car)
WR – T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Cin)	WR – Braylon Edwards (Cle)
WR – Michael Jenkins (Atl)	WR – Kevin Curtis (Phi)
WR – Joey Galloway (T.B.)	WR – Donte’ Stallworth (N.E.)
TE – Jason Witten (Dal)	TE – Jeremy Shockey (N.Y.G)
K – Matt Stover (Bal)	K – David Akers (Phi)
DEF – Jacksonville	DEF – New York Giants

League: Interstate Football Freaks (vf)
Matchup: Vengeance – Hattiesburg Hermits
Projection: Vengeance 86.58 – Hattiesburg Hermits 74.4
Notes: Another game I don’t think will go the way this projection looks. Rob’s a pro fantasy player…I’d be VERY shocked if he left his team with two bye-week players on his roster. EDIT (2:45pm 10/12/07): Rob swapped out his players…changes are reflected below and in the projection.
Lineups:

Vengeance	Hattiesburg Hermits
QB – E. Manning (N.Y.G)	QB – M. Schaub (Hou)
RB – F. Taylor (Jac)	RB – C. Portis (Was)
RB/WR – R. Brown (Mia)	RB/WR – L. Johnson (K.C.)
WR – P. Burress (N.Y.G)	WR – T. Owens (Dal)
RB/WR – T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Cin)	RB/WR – D. Driver (G.B.)
TE – J. Peelie (Mia)	TE – C. Cooley (Was)
K – R. Gould (Chi)	K – S. Gostkowski (N.E.)
DEF – Green Bay	DEF – Baltimore

League: Professional Team League – PFL
Matchup: Baltimore Ravens – Philadelphia Eagles
Projection: Baltimore Ravens 86.31 – Philadelphia Eagles 97.67
Notes: The Eagles may surprise me, but I don’t see them having a 97 point day.
Lineups:

Baltimore Ravens	Philadelphia Eagles
QB – S. McNair	QB – D. McNabb
RB – W. McGahee	RB – B. Westbrook
RB/WR – M. Smith	RB/WR – C. Buckhalter
WR – D. Mason	WR – K. Curtis
WR – D. Williams	WR – R. Brown
TE – Q. Sypniewski	TE – M. Schobel
K – M. Stover	K – D. Akers
DB – D. Landry	DB – S. Brown
DB – E. Reed	DB – S. Considine
DL – J. Johnson	DL – M. Patterson
DL – K. Gregg	DL – J. Kearse
LB – R. Lewis	LB – O. Gaither
LB – B. Scott	LB – T. Spikes

And that’s how my weekend looks. Check back next week for the results.
