“Get ‘Em In, Get ‘Em Out” Week14
By Dr. Dan Marino and Carlo Rivieccio
Welcome to the Week 13 Edition of “Get ‘Em In, Get ‘Em Out!”
If you’re here, congratulations, you’re in the playoffs and these games are the most important of the season.
If you’re here and your league hasn’t started the playoffs yet because you play till week 17… quit the league. Right now. No one should have a championship because they were lucky enough to snag Brock Osweiler off waivers.
First things first, before we get to the picks we’ll explain the categories.
Get ‘Em In: This is where we tell you which guys to start that are outside of the usual “must starts” that we think will give you top 10 potential. So you won’t see Calvin Johnson or Wes Welker here, because you will start them no matter what.
Get ‘Em Out: This is where we let you know which player who may be in the top 10-20 will most likely give you less value then you need.
Feelin’ Adventurous: Players listed here may give you better than expected results due to ability or matchup. Deeper leagues and teams with injuries would be most benefitted here.
Don’t Get Cute: For the owner who thinks he can do no wrong. Players here may have had a few good games but will return to the mean or may have had a lucky break that can’t be counted on.
ONTO THE RANKINGS
(STEPHEN’S CHOICE, CARLO’S CHOICE, SOPHIES CHOICE)
QUARTERBACKS
Matt Schaub – New England’s secondary is suspect and there’s potential for a shootout
Tony Romo – Hes hot. And hes also a quarterback who has playing well recently.
Josh Freeman -Great matchup. Great recievers. Great running game.
Joe Flacco- Will perform much better than “Average Joe Flacco”
Matt Ryan – gut call/ I feel like hes a got a stinker coming.
Philip Rivers – if youre still starting him its because of his name. If his name was Schmillip Schmivers you would never play him
Matt Ryan -
Carson Palmer – If Denver allows 2 points less than league avg against QBS, then youre looking at an average Joe Flacco Level performance. Which puts him at Joe Flacco level Which means you cant feasibly start him.
Carson Palmer – he sucks his team sucks. But they might have to start throwing in the first quarter and if RUN DMC plays it could give him some more options. In a 2 QB league, he should definelty be in there.
Jake Locker - On the road, but Indy’s D will not make anyone think of the 86 Bears.
Russell Wilson – Arizona’s pass defense is better than you think.
Chad Henne – Hey remember when Chad Henne went on an 8 game win streak and won player of the month? No? Oh, right, never happened, because it’s Chad Henne.
RUNNING BACKS
Mikel LeShoure – Green Bay is all offense. If they focus on Calvin that leaves a lot of dump offs and I don’t think Joique Bell gets 70 yards again
Darren Sproles – Drew Brees will probably throw 50 times. Darren will probably be targeted 10. You don’t have him for his running!
Steve Jackson – He’s Playing the Jets. He’s Playing The Jets. He’s Playing The Jets. He’s. Playing. The. Jets.
Chris Johnson – You start any running back at Indy.
Marcel Reece – Its been fun, but its over
Ryan Matthews – What does he have to do to make you not play him
Frank Gore -
Ryan Matthews – No Really?
Shonn Greene – It’s possible that the Jets actually “ground and pound” but out horrifying fear of letting the the Three Headed QB Shit Sandwhich do anything, rather than desire to see Shonn succeed. Reasons Schmeasons, he’s got a shot at 90 yards and a score.
Knowshon Moreno – He’s there for pass protection, but he’s still there. And Ronnie Hillman is no threat.
Joique Bell – I find it doubtful he gets 70 yards on 7 carries again.
Montell Owens – There’s a reason he was the 14th string rb.
WIDE RECIEVERS
Josh Gordon – If you have him in your team, this week is why you have him.
TY Hilton - Have you been paying attention? He’s good. Andrew Luck is good. Ya Dig?
Randall Cobb – Cobb will be the beneficiary of the return of Greg Jennings. If Detroit focuses on Jennings then Cobb will find himself more open than a West Side hookers legs during Fleet Week.
Torrey Smith – Washington can’t defend the pass. Flacco can throw a Deep ball. Smith can out run sound.
Dwayne Bowe – porobably gets shaded by Joe haden. Also his QB is Brady Quinn.
Steve Johnson – Running the ball 83 times doesn’t leave a lot of passes to catch.
Larry Fitzgerald – (see Phillip Rivers)
Miles Austin- It’s becoming the Dez Bryant show in Dallas.
Nate Washington – Locker looks his way, good matchup on the fast track in Indy.
Chris Givens – If Danny Amendola doesn’t play Chris could have a very good week.
Donnie Avery – don’t think he gets 2 TDs again.
Danarius Moore – Do you want to bet your fantasy playoff hopes that he’s the guy that catches a TD in a blowout when Marcel Reece has been leading in receptions the last few weeks? No. You do not.
TIGHT ENDS
Kyle Rudolph – scored last time against the Bears and no Harvin this time. No Urlacher either.
Brandon Myers – The TE safety valve is much more likely to have a solid day.
Vernon Davis - Fool me once, shame on you…
Heath Miller – Charlie Batch isn’t making anyone afraid.
Tony Moeaki - Someone’s gotta catch in KC. His catches and yardage have been increasing and I think the
Samoan Smash is the man.
Brent Celek – You never know.
Marcedes Lewis – Just because its against the Jets doesn’t mean hes not Marcedes Lewis
Tony Moeki – You don’t want anyone on the Chiefs who isn’t in charge of our wrongs and our rights. (That may be the worst joke about Jamaa Charles ever made
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS
Minnesota – Cutler is generally good for a pick and 4 sacks.
New York Jets – I’m a complete homer St. Louis isn’t likely to run up the score.
Giants – Brees will throw 50 times. On 10 days rest. After an embarrassing game. Ruh-roh.
Ravens – You can’t stop RGIII, you can only hope to contain him.
Cleveland – Not that they are better than you think, but KC is worse than you realize.
Tampa Bay -
Steelers – Don’t get cute.
Jaguars – If you were thinking of playing the Jags D this week, please email me to tell me what salvia is like.
