Eagles Vs. Cowboys, Game of the Week

Hi, I am making this post about one of the best match-ups we will see this year and it is Cowboys Vs. Eagles, 2 intriguing teams who both need the win to have a chance at a good playoff run. Some quick news that Broncos star RB C.J. Anderson was placed on IR. Here is the game and what I think will happen:

FINAL SCORE: COWBOYS 27, EAGLES 24:

COWBOYS TEAM LEADERS:
Dak Prescott: 20/36, 212 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT
Ezekiel Elliott: 30 carries, 182 yards, 1 TD
Cole Beasley: 6 receptions, 78 yards, 1 TD
Terrance Williams: 5 receptions, 64 yards

EAGLES TEAM LEADERS:
Carson Wentz: 19/30, 189 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Ryan Matthews: 20 carries, 120 yards, 2 TDs
Jordan Matthews: 4 receptions, 45 yards
Dorial Green-Beckham, 3 receptions, 36 yards, 1 TD

What a game this will be, two rookie QB's leading potiential playoff teams. People are saying this could be the new Brady/Manning rivalry. Dak Prescott is looking to show up in a big game that could almost define if he stays starter or if Tony Romo comes back. Carson Wentz has played super well and is finally giving the Eagles a chance to win games and possibly make the playoffs. The Eagles D has been a pleasant surprise while the Cowboys D is always the same crappy D. The Cowboys difference maker though is Ezekiel Elliott, the rookie running back who is leading the league in rushing. What a season he is having and he is on pace to break 2000 yards rushing!!! As a rookie!!!! It will be close, but the Cowboys will edge out the Eagles with their top tier offense.

MVP Race Candidates Half Season

Hi, with half of the season flown by, its time to see who has a chance at winning the biggest award of the year. Here it is:

TOP BET:

1. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
Ask anyone, so far, Ryan has been the best player. He has helped the Falcons stay no. 1 in their division and he has helped Julio Jones emerge as the best receiver so far over Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown, two bets to do better than Jones. Ryan has looked amazing and beat tough teams including the Broncos who were undefeated until playing them and the Panthers. They even almost won a tough game in Seattle losing by a missed PI call on a 4th down dime to Julio Jones. Ryan had his best week against the Panthers throw for a bunch of TD's and 500 yards! Whew! Matty Ice has been great.

ELITE PERFORMERS:

2. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions:
Another huge surprise, Stafford for MVP seemed as likely as Donald Trump winning the election this off-season, now both look possible. On a talentless Lions team with a long playoff drought, Matthew Stafford has made the best of it and stepped up his game to play better than he did even with legendary WR Calvin Johnson who retired this offseason. Golden Tate was the Lions only great target it seemed until free agent surprise Marvin Jones broke out and is now looking like a top 5 receiver. Stafford has made his team win a lot of games and is gaining on the playoff picture, don't be surprised if he actually wins MVP, its possible.

3. Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers:
Who would have thought that the biggest dissapointment of last season, would come back and make a case to be league MVP? No one. After a terrible rookie season, something clicked and Melvin Gordon started playing like magic. Only 7 games into the season, Gordon already has 10 TD's, he could get 20 TDs this year if he keeps on pace which would be insane!!! That would be the NFL history record. Gordon could do it if he keeps playing like he has been. Gordon is a top RB who has a top shot at MVP.

4. DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:
After his slump year, no one believed in Murray, except me. I thought he would be good since the day he got traded to that amazing O-line in Tennessee. Murray has done it. He has had a great season. Finally looking like himself, Murray has rushed for 5 TD's already and caught 2 TDs. He has also ran for 633 yards so far. He has looked amazing and he is one of the Titans only hopes at winning and I think they have a chance with such a stud in the backfield.

5. Julio Jones, WR, Falcons:
If Matt Ryan does end up winning MVP, its mostly because of the star of the Falcons offense. He has been super dominate this year and has played better than any other receiver in the game. He has already 830 receiving yards and 4 TDs including one 300 yard game vs. the Panthers which was insane. Jones is an amazing beast who has a great shot at league MVP.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

6. David Johnson, RB, Cardinals:
If you look at the stats, people either say David Johnson or Melvin Gordon is the no. 1 RB in the league, both have a great case. The 2nd year running back has had an amazing season and has played better than last years rookie of the year RB Todd Gurley who out played him for the award. He has rushed for 681 yards and 8 TD's, thats an elite performance for sure. Johnson looked like one of the only good players in last weeks slugfest tie Vs. the Seahawks. Johnson has a great shot at MVP and he is also the no. 1 point scoring fantasy running back.

7. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
This could end up being one of the best rookie running backs in NFL history, he is already on pace to break 2000 yards rushing which would be a record. Elliott has such a great shot at it too. Aside from his insane athletisim, Elliott is running behind the best O-line in the league. He is already pretty much a surefire Offensive Rookie of the year bet, but can he win MVP too? He has a shot.

8. Von Miller, LB, Broncos:
The reigning Super Bowl MVP has had a great follow-up season. He has already had 7.5 sacks and 22 solo tackles this far into the season. He is having a great season and he is maybe the best defensive player in the league, epescially with J.J. Watt out for the season. Defensive players don't normally win MVP, he has a chance, and if not, he has a great shot at defensive player of the year.

9. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
A name no one thought would be on this list this off-season surprised everyone. Rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in when Tony Romo got hurt, now he looks like he will stay starter when Romo is back. Prescott has looked amazing starting 5-1 and right now leading the NFC's no. 1 team. Prescott has played super well even without super star receiver Dez Bryant. He has already set records and only thrown 1 interception. Dak Prescott will be a name you will hear in the future, but this is only the start.

10. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots:
Just because he had a 4 game suspension made people forget about Brady, but don't. He has been amazing in the games he has played, losing 0 games and he has been in the league MVP running almost every year of his career, why would this year be different after how good he's already been so far. Brady has a super star unit of pass catchers to help him including 2 TE's who both barely missed this list. Brady could easily do this if he keeps playing like he has been.

Another notable players: Drew Brees QB Saints, Marcus Mariota QB Titans, Le'Veon Bell RB Steelers, Antonio Brown WR Steelers, Marvin Jones WR Lions, Ben Roethlisberger QB Steelers, Derek Carr QB Steelers, A.J. Green WR Bengals, Martellus Bennett TE Patriots, Bobby Wagner MLB Seahawks, Jay Ajayi RB Dolphins, Rob Gronkowski TE Patriots, LeGarrette Blount RB Patriots, Cam Newton QB Panthers, Sam Bradford QB Vikings, Carson Wentz QB Eagles, Lorenzo Alexander LB Bills.

Winners of the Week, Week 7 Edition

Hi, IM SUPER SORRY I HAVENT POSTED IN A WEEK, IVE BEEN BUSY AND I WILL TRY TO STEP IT UP AND POST A LOT MORE, here are my winners of the week:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jay Ajayi, RB, Dolphins: What a week for Ajayi! This was his 2nd straight week with 200 yards becoming the 4th player in Dolphins history to do so back to back weeks. Ajayi also had a TD. Some news came today that Dolphins starting running back Arian Foster who had been the one making Ajayi sit on the bench retired, meaning Ajayi will have more amazing weeks to come. What a week for Ajayi and the Dolphins pulled off yet another upset vs. a top team. Ajayi should be on your fantasy team a low end RB1 but amazing RB2/FLEX.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Eagles (4-2):
For the second time this year, the Eagles have won team of the week. The last time they won was when they upset the Steelers with a huge blowout win. It wasn't a blowout win this week, but beating the last undefeated team, is a big milestone. The Vikings were 5-0 and were looking to have a chance to have an undefeated season with a pretty easy schedule, but the Eagles stopped them in their tracks. The Eagles Defense dominated with a bunch of crazy plays while the offense played pretty well too. Dorial Green-Beckham finally had a productive week and Sam Bradford threw his first interception of the year. The Eagles also had a kick return for a TD. What an amazing week for the Eagles and they have maybe their most important game of the season coming this next week when they face their division kings, the Cowboys. If they win, they will be top of their division. Watch out for this crazy team!

PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Bobby Wagner, MLB, Seahawks: Made a bunch of crucial plays to help the Seahawks get the game under control including blocking some field goals
Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers: Had three TD's and lots of yards in the Chargers upset over the Falcons, he is now leading the league with 8 rushing TD's
Vernon Davis, TE, Redskins: Even though they lost and he wasn't a huge star, he had a bunch of great catches and blocks to help the Redskins have a chance to win

TEAM OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Seahawks (4-1-1) + Cardinals (3-3-1): Made a super entertaining game with a crazy OT sequence with two of the leagues best kickers missing less than 30 yard, potiential game winning field goals and generated a rare tie
Dolphins (3-4): Had a great offensive and defensive game against the Bills who were heavily favored to win their game
Colts (3-3): Battled it out to the last minute to win an important divisional game

Thanks for reading and I should have my weekly wrap-up post coming tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for reading and being so patient for me to finally post again. :)

Winners of the Week, Week 6 Edition

Hi, here is my weekly winners of the week post, my wrap-up should be coming tomorrow. Here it is:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Giants: Odell finally had a great week. After a LOT of off-season hype about how great Odell's 3rd season would be, he has been terrible this year...at least until this week. Odell broke out with 8 catches for 222 yards and 2 TD's. 2222! :) . Anyway, Odell's scores put the Giants ahead of the Ravens in final minutes to win a VERY important game. Odell Beckham finally played like people thought he would, will it last though? By the way, that went for 32 fantasy points!

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seattle Seahawks (4-1): WHAT A WEEK FOR SEATTLE. Coming off their BYE week, the Seahawks were winning the division by 1 game of the Rams and 1 game out of the Cardinals. If the Seahawks lost and either or both teams won, the Seahawks would be second in the division which is not great. Playing the no. 1 offense (Falcons), it looked like this would be their hardest game of the year. After taking a strong first half lead 17-3, they gave 21 points in the 3rd and 4th quarter to make the game 24-17 Falcons. The Seahawks missed a close field goal but then scored a TD to make it 24-23, then the extra point got blocked and with around 5 minutes, it looked like the Seahawks were headed to a disappointing loss. Then they struck back, Matt Ryan threw a pass to no. 1 WR Julio Jones and it was bobbled and picked off by Seahawks star safety Earl Thomas. The Hawks then put together a field goal drive to be up 26-24, the Falcons still had a chance on offense but the Seahawks forced them to a turn-over on downs and then kneeled the rest of time out. They won a must win game against one of the top teams in the league.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Dak Prescott QB Cowboys: Lead 'Boys to yet another win with 3 TD's against the tough Packers
LeSean McCoy RB Bills: 140 rushing yards and 3 TD's for 32 fantasy points and a Bills win
Jay Ajayi RB Dolphins: Had 204 rushing yards and 2 TDs in a crazy win vs the Steelers

TEAM OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Miami Dolphins: Took down a heavily favored Steelers team
Houston Texans: Stayed in the game until the very end in winning in overtime
New York Giants: Had a GREAT game vs. Ravens with all their stars breaking out

Last Weeks Winners:
TEAM: Falcons
PLAYER: Tom Brady, QB, Patriots

Thanks for reading! :)

Dak Prescott Vs. Tony Romo, The Battle Under Center

Hi, I am making a post talking about the Cowboys QB battle. Tony Romo has been really good in past years but he is getting older and he keeps getting hurt. While being hurt the first 8 weeks of this season, youngster rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in and has lead the Cowboys to 4-1. He is looking amazing and has thrown 0 interceptions through these first games. Today I am picking a winner because so many people have been debating over it and its time for me to answer this burning question. Here is battle:

Tony Romo:

Pros: Romo knows the offense. He has been the starter for years now and has lead the Cowboys to multiple playoff appearances. He has been productive for years and he turned Dez Bryant into a great receiver. He has thrown for 34,000+ yards over the course of his career in Dallas and 247 TD's. He a favorite QB and has been a top 5, elite QB for the longest time. He's completed a little over half of the throws he's completed in his career.

Cons: Romo is getting old. He is not a very mobile QB and he does throw a lot of interceptions. Romo gets hurt a lot too and this is the 3rd or 4th time he has gotten hurt badly. Last season he broke his collarbone, came back and then re-injured it after playing 1 game which lead to one of the Cowboys most disasterous seasons in franchise history having a 4-12 year. Romo will not be able to take the Cowboys into the playoffs many more times as the Cowboys want

Dak Prescott:

Pros: Dak has been really good. Most rookie QB's aren't productive in their first year but Prescott has looked very productive. He is 4-1 as a starter and he only needs one more win to already have a better record than the Cowboys season last year. He is a few pass attempts without an interception to set a NFL record. He is a super mobile QB who also can throw very well and he is learning the offense very well. He has thrown 0 interceptions over the first few games which is super hard for rookies to do. Prescott is also very young so he has a lot of time to play and improve under a young Cowboys team.

Cons: He is only a rookie so he can probably only play SO well. He will eventually throw interceptions and show some signs that he is a rookie. He sometimes doesn't make the best descions. Rookies QBs have never lead their team to a super bowl win so it is a super long shot that Prescott could win the Super Bowl this year.

WHO WINS: Its not actually that close, I feel like Dak Prescott will win and he should win. He has more pros and less cons than Romo. He is younger, doesn't have much injury risk, and has a lot of time to work on his mistakes. It makes sense for him to stay starting QB now that he has learned the offense so well. He deserves this win and will be the future of this franchise even if he doesn't start after Romo comes back cause Romo only has a year or 2 left.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked this post.

Week 6 Fantasy Sits

Hi, here is my sits of the week. Some news that the Chargers upset the Broncos with a win tonight on Thursday night football. The Chargers are now 2-4 and the Broncos are 4-2. Here are the sits:

Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: Over the first few weeks, Ryan has been a beast. He's scored the most fantasy points of any fantasy player over these first weeks, he's number 1 right now in the running for league MVP, and he's already landed player of the week on my blog once. He's having a star season but against the Broncos tough defense he only scored 14 which is a low end QB score and now playing another top 5 D he shouldn't be great. Make sure not to drop him though because after this week, his schedule is super easy the entire rest of the year except maybe 1 or 2 tough match-ups.

Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons: Freeman is one of the most played players in fantasy every week but he shouldn't be spotted in your lineup this week unless you want to lose. Freeman will be up against a tough Seahawks D which especially good against the run. They will know Freeman will run it and so he will get stuffed. Not a great play this week but the other RB on the Falcons, Tevin Coleman, should for sure be in your lineup, he will not be covered much.

T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts: Even though Hilton has had a breakout year this year, don't let his no. 2 overall position rank force you into starting him. Sure, he's been good but he has had some down weeks. His worst was against the Broncos D, a quality D that held him to a mere 4 points. Going up against a good D in the Texans, he will be covered heavily by top corner Jonathan Joseph and co. Hilton is not a great play for the week. If you are a risk taker, he could be a low end FLEX.

Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots: Okay, Gronk may be the best player ever to play his position, but there are too many questions and risks about playing him. Gronk was injured most of these first games and finally is back and scored a nice 10 points this week, but partner in crime, tight end Martellus Bennett has been going OFF these past fews weeks and he will get limited playing time until he is full health and Bennett is struggling. Bennett will for sure take away a lot of Gronks snaps. Plus the Bengals will be covering the no. 1 target which is Gronk. This isn't a great week to start Gronk.

Thanks for reading and I will have new posts coming soon, I already know what I'm doing tomorrow so stay tuned!!

Week 6 Fantasy Starts

Hi, its time for fantasy starts, lets dive right in. Some news that Colin Kaepernick signed a new deal with the 49ers. Here it is:

Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: Mariota had insane week last week against the Dolphins. 30 points!! This week he is playing and even worse defense playing against the winless Browns. He should have another field day and DeMarco Murray should be his prime target.

Jeremy Kerley, WR, 49ers: This is a little of a risky play vs a good Bills D, but it could pay off. Kerley has been the 49ers top receiver the last 2 weeks scoring 14 and 16 points. He is onto peoples fantasy radars and that is a good thing but it could be a bit risky playing him this week. A hard Bills D and a new QB who hasn't bonded with him yet could stop him from a good week. Play him as your FLEX or a low end WR2.

DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans: Murray has probably been the no. 1 RB in fantasy through the first five weeks of fantasy. Sorry, I lied, he has been the 2nd best, I just searched it up. He has not had a non double digit point game yet and why would he do it this week against probably the worst D in the league. He is the no. 1 RB on the Titans and he will get a lot of receiving too. He is a high end RB1!

Martellus Bennett, TE, Patriots: Most may say Martellus Bennett's good first weeks in New England may be a fluke, but I say no. Even with Rob Gronkowski back, Tom Brady should still give Bennett a bunch of targets. Sure he won't have 3 TD's this week but its looking like at least a 10 point game for Bennett. I say pick up Bennett and trade your high end tight end like Greg Olsen or Jordan Reed for another position.

Ryan Matthews, RB, Eagles: Coming off 3 double digit games, going against a terrible Redskins D should be easy money for Matthews. He is the prime workhorse RB in Philidelphia and why would he stop playing well in one of his easiest match-ups of the year. This should be yet another field day for Matthews.

Thanks for reading and I will hopefully have my sits post up before the game tomorrow night for Thursday night football, Broncos Vs. Chargers.

Week 5 Wrap-Up

Hi, its time for the weekly wrap-up here is everything:
SCORES:

Cardinals 33 @ 49ers 21
Redskins 16 @ Ravens 10
Patriots 33 @ Browns 13
Eagles 23 @ Lions 24
Bears 23 @ Colts 29
Titans 30 @ Dolphins 17
Texans 13 @ Vikings 31
Jets 13 @ Steelers 31
Falcons 23 @ Broncos 16
Bengals 14 @ Cowboys 28
Bills 30 @ Rams 19
Chargers 31 @ Raiders 34
Giants 16 @ Packers 23
Buccaneers 17 @ Panthers 13
WHAT WENT DOWN:
Lets start off with the un-defeated teams. At the beginning of the week there were 3 undefeated teams, now the league is down to its last one. The Eagles and Broncos both dropped their undefeated streaks while the Vikings blew out the Texans to stay unbeaten. Who would have thought such a banged up team without their starting QB and future hall of fame running back would be undefeated this long.
The Cardinals vs. 49ers was a big game without people knowing it. Blaine Gabbert's terrible game lead the 49ers staff to name Colin Kaepernick QB (which was announced today) David Johnson had an amazing game in the win and the Cardinals D played spot on, on the 49ers WR Jeremy Kerley played pretty well and is turning into a reliable receiver. Carlos Hyde had yet another amazing game also.
Tom Brady's return lead to a crazy game. He threw for 406 yards and 3 TD's, no rust at all. The Browns suffered more injuries. 3rd string rookie QB Cody Kessler got injured early on to leave 4th string Charlie Whitehurst in, then something happened and former QB, WR Terrelle Pryor played some snaps at QB. Martellus Bennett had an amazing game at tight end for the Patriots.
The Eagles ended their streak with a tiny loss. 1 point. The Eagles were on a comeback drive when amazing rookie QB Carson Wentz threw his first career interception to lose the game. The Lions after the game signed former Ravens RB Justin Forsett who could potientially become the starter.
In the Bears game, QB Brian Hoyer played well again and is quickly seperating himself from Jay Cutler for the starting QB. Rookie RB Jordan Howard had a great game running for 100+ yards a TD. The Colts looked great on offense. Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton was looking like a great duo and Hilton is having a GREAT season.
The Titans are proving to be a playoff worthy team. They are 2-3 and 1 game out of the division leader the Texans. They are playing the Browns this coming week which should be an easy W. Marcus Mariota had an AMAZING game while DeMarco Murray kept grinding and having yet another game. The Dolphins cut 3 of their O-lineman after being frusturated by their play. But the Dolphins did sign pretty good CB Ben Benwikere.
The Vikings stayed undefeated. Sam Bradford is looking amazing in Minnesota and Teddy Bridgewater should be worried about his role in Minnesota next season. Random receiver Adam Theinlan looked really good and had a TD and a bunch of yards. The defense stayed no. 1.
The Steelers are looking like the real deal, not the team who got blown out to by the Eagles. Sammie Coates is turning into a great deep threat and Big Ben looks better than ever. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell also got a lot of receiving action. Bell didn't get much carries. The Jets are looking terrible.
The Falcons are the team to beat. They took down the Panthers and the before undefeated Broncos. Matt Ryan is looking like the early bet for MVP and the Falcons offense is looking great. They are winning their division by a lot and the Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman duo looked great again. They will again be put to the test playing the Seahawks in Seattle. The Broncos looked terrible without Trevor Siemian even though Paxton Lynch was not bad.
The Bengals took a surprising loss to the young Cowboys. Ezekiel Elliott had a monster game and is looking like a top bet for rookie of the year. Dak Prescott had a great passes and running game and people are really wondering if he will stay starter even when Tony Romo is back. My opinion is he should stay starter. The Bengals looked lost and the Cowboys are looking like the team they were 2 years ago.
The Bills had a big win over the Rams. The Rams losing puts them in 2nd place in the division while the Bills hope to catch up to the roaring Patriots. The Rams looked ok but the Bills looked amazing and their D is playing great and LeSean McCoy had 150 yards rushing.
The Chargers lost by a tiny bit yet again but their team played well. Phillip Rivers had a great passing game and Melvin Gordon looked great AGAIN! Rookie first round pick Joey Bosa played for the first time this season and recorded 2 sacks! CRAZY! The Raiders looked great too. Derek Carr is playing like a top 3 QB and the offense is playing great. They are tied for top of their division. The D looked great too.
The Panthers look hopeless. With or without Cam Newton they are looking like a wreck. Greg Olsen looks good but the D sucks. Jameis Winston had a decent game on the Bucs and third string RB Jaquizz Rodgers had a great game. The Bucs won it by a field goal as time expired. The Bucs have a shot at winning their division if they can catch up to the Falcons.

What a week, thanks for reading an I will have a starts and sits coming soon! :)

Winners of the Week, Week 5 Edition

Hi, with my wrap-up post coming soon, I am making the winners of the week post. Sorry that I haven't posted fantasy starts and sits for awhile but I will make sure to post them this week. Im not giving any news alerts because that will come in my wrap-up post. Here are the winners of the week.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: Wooh! Brady is back. The best QB in NFL history was fresh off his suspension and didn't show any rust at all. Brady completed 28 passes for 406 yards and 3 TD's. What a week. 400 yards is a lot and 3 TD's is great too. His receivers were super reliable and his throws were on the money. Brady is back and he started off his season by winning player of the week, we should be scared for the rest of the season.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Atlanta Falcons (4-1):
For the 2nd straight week, the Falcons have won team of the week. This week wasn't as impressive as their historic week last week, but its up there. People thought the Falcons would snap under the pressure of playing the undefeated reigning super bowl champs with a top defense and a decent offense. NOPE! The Falcons ended their winning streak with a bang. Matt Ryan was good even with the pressure of the top secondary in the league and held Von Miller off of a huge game. Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman duo went off again. The defense looked really good for the first time of the season. Beating the Broncos was a huge milestone but they will again be put to the test going up against the rested Seahawks in Seattle, can Matt Ryan's gang take team of the week again next week. We'll see.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: 20 completions for 163 yards and 3 TD's, 30 fantasy points
Martellus Bennett, TE, Patriots: 3 TD catches and 60+ yards, 24 fantasy points
David Johnson, RB, Cardinals: Rushed for 157 yards and 2 TD's to give Cards key win, 29 fp
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys: Rushed for 134 yards and 2 TD's, 28 fp
Jaquizz Rodgers, RB, Buccaneers: Rushed for 100+ yards against the Panthers good D with a tiny height of 5'6

TEAM OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Minnesota Vikings (5-0): Stayed the only undefeated team with a big win over the Texans

Thanks for reading and I hope your team was featured on todays team of the week post. Will the Falcons win Team of the week for the 3rd week straight next week? Will Tom Brady have another epic game? Find out next week on Winners of the Week :)

Predicting the First 5 Picks of the 2017 NFL Draft

Hi, I'm looking way into the future on which teams I think will have the top 5 picks and who they will pick. These are my opinion on how the teams will do so the order will most likely not be the same. Some quick news that the Panthers release good cornerback Bene Benwikere. Here it is:

With the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns Select:
DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson:
The Browns are the only team without a win this season. They were looking good before their injuries hit. QB Robert Griffin III looked good but he's hurt yet again and so the Browns are back to their QB struggles. Its time to grab a young player who is easily the best QB in college. He's fast, he's great at passing, and he's a leader. He could finally be the franchise QB they've been waiting for.

With the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears Select:
Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville:
If Lamar Jackson comes out of college this year, he will be the future of the Bears QB. They have dealt with Jay Culter for too long and he used to be good but his prime time is over. The Bears will love a young, SUPER fast, heisman potiential, QB. He is probably going to win this years Heisman, he has already 14 passing TD's and 14 rushing TD's in just a few games. WHAT?! How does that work. This man is insane and he will be the Bears long term answer even if he doesn't start RIGHT away.

With the Third pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Fransico 49ers Select:
DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame:
Its time. The 49ers have 2 QB's currently. Blaine Gabbert who is overrated by the team and Colin Kapernick who deserves the start but no one gives it to him so its time for someone new. Most people are saying Kizer will be the no. 1 QB coming out of college and I think he is really good so the 49ers will be lucky to get him. He's already passed for 1500+ yards and 14 TD's and he's rushed for 600+ yards and 6 TD's in just the first few games. He is perfect combination and the 49ers will be happy to have someone new at QB.

With the Fourth pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins Select:
Myles Garrett, OLB, Texas A&M:
The Redskins are going to have another bad season and they will finally be able to get the next Von Miller right out of college to help with their terrible defense. Him and Josh Norman will headline the D and the addition of Garrett will help A LOT! He could give them a great monster season.

With the Fifth Pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers Select:
Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan:
With Jason Verrett hurt, he will be a question mark in the future, to have a super young corner in the mix, the 2 could grow together and be like Aquib Talib and Chirs Harris. He plays a bunch of other positions too so if they needed help in other places, they could put him there to help. He is the complete package and will totally help the Chargers in the future.

Thanks for reading and I may have picks 6-10 coming another time. Hope you liked it.

Quarter Mark Rankings

Hi, one quarter of the season is already over and its time to hit the rankings for positions. Here are the top 10 players at the positions so far this season. Some quick news that Carson Palmer suffered a concussion and is ruled out for this week. Also 49ers best player NaVorro Bowman suffered an achilles tear and is probably out for the season, along with Bear receiver Kevin White and Chargers pro bowl CB Jason Verrett. Here are the Rankings:

Dolphins 7 @ Bengals 22
Colts 27 Vs. Jaguars 30 in London

Chiefs 14 @ Steelers 43
Giants 10 @ Vikings 24

What went down: What a week! Lets kick it off with the un-defeated teams. Last week the Ravens, Eagles, Vikings, Patriots, and Broncos were un-defeated. Now only 3 remain un-defeated. The Patriots and the Ravens both had terrible losses this week that took away their dreams of an un-defeated season.                                                                                          
The Colts vs. Jaguars game was very important for them to win so they finally had a win. Both teams are now 1-3. The Panthers are looking like their pre-2015 team again who can't win games even with such a great squad. They are now in a 3 way tie for the 2nd spot in the division with the Falcons 3-1 up by 2 games. Cam Newton suffered a concussion in the 4th quarter and his game this week is in trouble. If the Panthers had won they would be the no. 1 in their division just like the Rams stayed with a crazy win vs the Cardinals. The Cardinals are another team who looked lost and them and the Panthers are both coming off NFC championship seasons. Cardinals QB Carson Palmer suffered a hit to the head and went into concussion protocol and we are waiting to hear if he will play this coming week. The Rams are winning the division at 3-1 but the Seahawks are also 3-1 going into their BYE week, making it tough for the Rams to stay on top. The Bears had a clutch needed win over the Lions and with starting QB Jay Culter out, former Texans starter Brian Hoyer stepped in and played pretty well. Bears coach John Fox hinted that Brian Hoyer will probably keep the starting job. Anticipated rookie Jordan Howard had a great game too. The Bills looked great in their win over the once un-defeated Patriots but with Tom Brady back this week, the Pats shouldn't be too worried. The Broncos once again look like the best team in the league, holding back the promising Buccaneers. Broncos good starting QB Trevor Siemian left the game with a shoulder injury and his status is in question. The Broncos started rookie first round pick Paxton Lynch who held the Broncos win. Bucs Coach Dirk Koetter says he was worried about Jameis Winston's play. After a year and some Winston is still throwing picks again and again and coach is worried. The same thing is happening in New York with the Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick had 3 interceptions and one fumble this week against the roaring Seahawks who had an awesome bounce back game. Russell Wilson looked amazing even with his injuries and Jimmy Graham had an elite week catching a bunch of balls for over 100 yards. Richard Sherman had 2 interceptions. The Steelers roared back from their embarasing loss to the Eagles with a 43 to 14 win over the Chiefs. Le'Veon Bell had an amazing come back game for playing for the first time in over a year. Big Ben looked awesome. The Giants had a chance to beat the Vikings but blew it. Odell Beckham looked horrible and so did Eli Manning. The Vikings great O and no. 1 D destroyed the Giants to stay un-beaten. The Cowboys had a great game, Ezekiel Elliott played amazingly and so did Dak Prescott. Carlos Hyde played well on the 49ers. The Browns should be worried, they are the only team who hasn't won a single game yet. The Redskins played well on them especially Jordan Reed and Josh Norman. The Titans played well again even though they lost. DeMarco Murray looks like his Offensive Player of the Year self again! The Texans edged them out though. Rookie WR Will Fuller has been playing SUPER well and is looking right now like the number 1 bet to win offensive rookie of the year. The Chargers lost yet again while the Saints picked up their first win. Saints fullback John Kuhn was the game MVP and scored 3 TDs! Melvin Gordon played really well on the Chargers and is looking better than Todd Gurley who is having a bust 2nd season while Gordon is having a breakout. The Ravens again ditched running back Justin Forsett and he will now be looking for a new home. WHAT A CRAZY WEEK! I will have new posts coming up soon! Thanks for reading.

Winners of the Week, Week 4 Edition

Hi, sorry that I forgot to post a lot this week. I will try hard to have more posts up next week. My week wrap-up will be probably tomorrow because a lot of crazy things went down, but its time to see who is my player and team of the week! Comment who you think should have won. Diving right in:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: 28 for 37 for 503 yards and 4 TD's!!! Thats INSANE! 500 yards in one game!!!!! WHAT?! Matt Ryan is the no. 1 player in fantasy scoring through the first 4 weeks of fantasy football. He had an insane game this week with again 500 yards!! He's going to throw for a LOT of yards if he gained 500 in just 1 game. He's already thrown for 1400 yards in these first 4 games which is insane! Julio Jones really helped him this week catching 300 of those 500 yards. Ryan had an insane week and beat out the Panthers who are always favored to win games like this. Is Matt Ryan going to be this years league MVP? If things keep going this way. If the season ended tonight Ryan would be the MVP! Is Matt Ryan now an Elite QB? He is the player of the week and I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in this spot again over the rest of the season.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Atlanta Falcons: Not just Matt Ryan had a good game, the whole Falcons team dominated the heavily favored Panthers to move to 3-1, the rest of their division is stuck at 1-3 so if the Falcons can win a few more games, they will seperate themselves from the other teams in the division and win it by a lot of games. Julio Jones had a great game catching 300 yards and a TD helping the Falcons win 48-33. The D held the Panthers awesome offense and even injured Cam Newton. Devonta Freeman had a pretty good running game and Tevin Coleman didn't look great like he did vs. the Saints last week. The Falcons are 3-1 and in the playoff race already. They have won MY team of the week award.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Jimmy Graham, TE, Seahawks: 6 receptions for 113 yards and some nice highlight catches,
Julio Jones, WR, Falcons: 300 yards and 1 TD
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks: Had a great bounce back game throwing for 3 TDs and 300 yards

TEAM OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Buffalo Bills (2-2): Shutout the undefeated Patriots at the Patriots home stadium
Seattle Seahawks (3-1): Had a great win vs. Jets with an injury bounce back game for QB Russell Wilson and 3 interceptions on defense
L.A. Rams (3-1): Beat the Cardinals in an important game to hold on to the division lead

Last Week's Winners: Team: Eagles, Player: Marvin Jones, WR, Lions

Thanks for reading and my week 4 wrap-up should be out tomorrow!
