![]() He's the most overrated player in fantasy football right now."You can see he's been taught by his mother that he's the only thing that maters," Smith says. I've noticed a lack of effort too often when watching him this season. He has a 15-yard game, and a 21-yard game. JB: It should be a no-brainer to keep him on the bench with the struggles of quarterback Matt Schaub, but owners still believing Johnson is a WR 1 need a reality check. Greene averages 18 touches a game and could see more as he might log more snaps. HC: I agree Greene won't come close to his huge numbers from last week. Greene will face a Patriots team that is good against the run, not the Colts, who can't stop the run. ![]() JB: Do not be an owner who makes an irrational move and goes all-in with Greene after his deceptive 161-yard performance last week against the Colts. HC: While I admire the bold pick, if you sit Griffin you deserve to lose your game. It has forced 11 interceptions and I think it makes RGIII looks like a rookie this week. ![]() I don't care how well RGIII has been playing - and he has been playing fantastic - he's going to struggle against this defense. The Giants forced the ultra-efficient Alex Smith into three interceptions last week, at home, no less. ![]() JB: Several fantasy football prognosticators have Griffin as a top-three play this week against the Giants. If quarterback Brandon Weeden can actually get the ball to his own receivers (see Tony Romo), Gordon will have a big day. JB: I'd say that Cleveland did pretty well in picking Gordon in the supplemental draft and getting him to pan out so quickly. I expect Gordon to beat the Colts deep for a lengthy score. The Colts have surrendered 10 passing touchdowns in five games. He's got an enviable matchup this week playing in a dome at Indianapolis. HC: The rookie has come on strong the last two weeks with 181 yards and three touchdowns. And with quarterback Tony Romo's penchant for throwing balls to the other team, Dallas could stuff the ball in Jones' stomach 30 times Sunday. Murray's absence creates a major hole at the position. Now, he faces a Carolina run defense that got pounded by journeyman Andre Brown in Week 3. He produced after replacing Murray last week with over 100 yards and a score. HC: With DeMarco Murray likely out, Jones is a fantastic option this week. There are worse options out there, like say, Blaine Gabbert. Playing the Titans, and their leaky pass defense, though, I'd lean with starting him. Justin Barney: He's a boom-or-bust player every week. Fitzpatrick is a safe bet for 250 yards and multiple touchdowns. However, he's facing a Tennessee defense that is 29th against the pass and has allowed 13 passing scores in six games. Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Michael Vick and Philip Rivers are all off. Hays Carlyon: The stars on byes this week are many. Times-Union reporters Justin Barney and Hays Carlyon go beyond the obvious to spot fantasy football trends before they develop.
