Week 6 - Who to Add?
2011 Archives - Week - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 -10 -
Tim Tebow - QB - Denver Broncos	It really was just a matter of time. Tebow was our fantasy game's highest point producer through the final 3 weeks of last season. Kyle Orton's performance through 3+ quarters last week against the Chargers was unequivocally, undeniably, absolutely the worst display of football so far this season. He lost his starting job. Tim stepped in and in less then a quarter almost brought his team back from a 16 point deficit. It's Tebow time in the mile high city.
Earnhest Graham - RB - Tampa Bay Bucs	Starting RB LeGaratte Blount missed practice again on Wednesday (knee) and all signs are pointing towards him being inactive this week against New Orleans. The Saints have a stout run defense but as Graham has proven many times in the past, he can be a monster catching balls out of the backfield (2 games already with 7+ receptions). If you are in a PPR league, scoop him up and don't second guess starting him at RB2. If you don't receive any points per reception, Graham is a risky play, but the reception yards are sure to add up.
Jackie Battle - RB - Kansas City Chiefts	Jackie lead the team in Week 5 with 19 carries for 119 yards. Head coach Todd Haley has stated that Battle will receive more and more opportunities going forward. The Chiefs have a bye set for this week but you can't afford to wait. Scoop him up while you can.
Darrius Heyward Bey - WR - Oakland Raiders	JHB has fooled us in the past, but the last two weeks he has woke up with 11 balls for 214 yards and a TD. He is QB Jason Campbell's main aerial threat and most consistent receiver as of late. Facing CB Joe Haden and the Cleveland Browns this week makes Heward-Bey a very risky option (unless Moore/Ford/Murphy draws Haden), but if he produces again, the waiver wire lineup will be long. Stay ahead of the competition and give him an add.
Michael Crabtree - WR - San Francsico 49ers	With the Niners losing Josh Morgan for the season and Braylon Edwards still banged up (knee), Crabtree is the only wide receiver on the team worth owning. Alex Smith will be looking towards his TE Vernon Davis a lot, but Crabtree is a decent WR3 play this week @ Detroit.
Delone Carter - RB - Indianapolis Colts	Joseph Addai missed practice again on Wednesday (hamstring). With the Colts set to face the Bengals run defense this week, no Indy RB is a great play. But the extent of Addai's injury is not yet known, so both Delone Carter and Donal Brown could have increased value going forward. Delone has been a popular Addai-handcuff all season.
Doug Baldwin - WR - Seattle Seahawks	I am actually not suggesting to add Baldwin right now, you can afford to wait until this time next week (If Mike Williams is still out). Just wanted to give you guys the heads-up. Seattle is on a bye this week and then face the Browns in Week 7. One of the best corners in the league, Joe Haden, will have his plate full with Sidney Rice. This leaves Bladwin the chance to exploit Sheldon Brown, which he proved he can do in Week 5 against the Giants (8 Rec for 136 Yds and a TD)
Oakland Raiders - DST	The Raiders have the putrid Browns offense scheduled for this week. With the exception of promoted WR Greg Little (who has been one of our Prospects all season), the Browns offense is sluggish. Oakland makes for a strong play at home coming off an emotional win in Week 5 against Houston.

Week 6 - Who to Drop?
Kyle Orton - QB - Denver Broncos	Kyle Orton's performance through 3+ quarters last week against the Chargers was unequivocally, undeniably, absolutely the worst display of football so far this season. He lost his starting job. It's Tebow time in the mile high city.
Isaac Redman - RB - Pittsburgh Steelers	Rashard Mendenhall is not listed on the Week 6 injury report for the Steelers. Unless you want to hold onto Redman as a Mendenhall handcuff, his fantasy roster time has passed.
Scott Chandler - TE - Buffalo Bills	Chandler is clearly just a red zone target. That's not a bad thing, it just makes his weekly fantasy point production extremely unpredicable. In the first 3 weeks he caught 9 balls for 89 yards and 4 touchdowns - the last two weeks he's hauled in 3 catches for 12 yards. Too unpredictable for head-to-head fantasy leagues.
