What About Ben & Mike On The Road?

Two AFC North foes meet today as the Cincinnati Bengals play host to Pittsburgh Steelers. With playoff implications involved for both teams we have a big game on our hands. When it comes to big games and these two teams, the NYMWS formula is simple folks....

Big Ben + Mike Tomlin > Red Headed Andy + Marvin Lewis

The Andy and Marv combo will ultimately win the division with their cushy lead over Ben and Mike but this won't be the week it happens. Pitt continues their push for an AFC Wild Card spot with a big win today.  

Steelers (+1) 31 – BENGALS 24

Viagra Play of the Week - LeSean McCoy(Bills RB)  
(This guy is guaranteed to erect your point total)

Shady is throwing the ultimate revenge banger this week and he's got the perfect wingman for the party. Rexy is going to feed right into the noise and he'll ensure the Eagles all time leading rusher gets his against Chip. 

BBW - DeMarco Murray (Eagles RB)
(Blue Balls Warning - This guy will leave you painfully unsatisfied and wanting more)

We have a messy situation with our Viagra Play's "replacement" in South Philly. With most of us fantasy footballers playing in our playoffs or to get into our playoffs there's no way we can put the now reported 4th string Eagles running back in our lineups. But hey, as bad as it for DeMarco, at least he can still say he fucked Clay's chic...

Moped Ride of the Week - Tim Hightower (Saints RB)
(This guy will be fun to ride for the week but you're not going to want to brag to your friends about doing it) 

With Mark Ingram down there's touches for the taking out in NOLA and it looks Timnado is in line to take them. Once the news came out about Ingram we all picked a side. Some of you we're Spiller guys like Clay, and some of us we're Hightower guys like yours truly. I thought I'd watch this one play out for a week, but with @RapSheet reporting on twitter this morning that Timmy's getting the load, and the state of the RB position this season, I'm time traveling back to 2008 and starting the 10 TD fill in.

Lay the Wood With Fitzy Against Clay

Photo Credit-Zimbio/Filter-NYMWS
For the first time in four years I think Clay is a total d-bag. Clay's Big Blue plays host to my Gang Green today in the battle for NYMWS supremacy. 

It's going to start on defense for Coach Bowles and the Jets today as the objective should be real simple. Stop OBJ. There's two ways of going about this. The first is for that bad ass defensive line to overwhelm this pedestrian GMEN offensive line so Eli doesn't have time to get the ball out to OBJ. The second is for the entire secondary to just cover OBJ. With no Revis, no Marcus and aging Cro there's no one man who can cover OBJ by himself left in this secondary. I don't care if we double him, triple him or let Pryor lay the smack down on him, there is no way the Jets defense can let OBJ be OBJ today at MetLife. TB knows the deal and he'll make sure one of the two above scenarios takes place today. 

With OBJ contained, the victory will be in the favorites hands with Fitzy's offesne doing what Fitzy's offense does. B Marsh will B Marsh all over this suspect secondary, his nudest partner in crime ED will keep satisfying Jessie James and Clay's favorite Jet Chris Ivory will go Ivory Mode all day.

Viagra Play of the Week - Lamar Miller(Dolphins RB)  
(This guy is guaranteed to erect your point total)

With another loss to Gang Green comes another coach firing for the Phins coaching staff. Bill Lazor is out as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor is now handling the OC duties down in the South Beach. This is Zac with no H or no K's first crack at calling an offense but it shouldn't take a genius to figure out what to do with the Miami offense right now. We are 7 games into the Dan Campbell era and in 4 of those 7 games Lamar has double digit fantasy points (ESPN Standard). What do those 4 games have in common? Double digit rushing attempts for Lamar Miller. What do the 3 games without double digit fantasy points have in common? Single digit rushing attempts for Lamar Miller. Zac's been around this team so he knows what he has on offense. A QB with a phat contract and a hot wife, a nice receiver in Jarvis, a decent receiver who almost died thanks to Tannehill serving him up to Pryor, and a balling ass running back who's underused. Zac you get Lamar the ball. And fantasy footballers you get Lamar in your lineups.

BBW - Brandin Cooks (Saints WR)
(Blue Balls Warning - This guy will leave you painfully unsatisfied and wanting more)

This is basically a my bad for last week's Turkey Day Dez call. This Josh Norman thing is real. The man is truest of true shut down corners in the league right now and this week Mr. Cooks seems lined up for the shut down. After a slow start to the season the Saints second year wide receiver had strung together a few nice performances heading into their week 11 bye. In their return from the bye Brandin with an I struggled, as much of the NOLA boys did, against a surging Texans defense. Don't be fooled by the Drew Brees at home effect. You have to let Cooks ride the pine this week for your fantasy teams.  

Moped Ride of the Week - Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Bucs TE)
(This guy will be fun to ride for the week but you're not going to want to brag to your friends about doing it) 

Schefty is reporting that our boy Famous Jameis is getting his tight end back this week and I want ASJ on your radar Gronk (and Eifert) owners. If you owned Gronk, you owned Gronk. You didn't have a back up and anyone you scooped off the wire is a dart through at this point. The Scott Chandler thing is cute and all but I'm not in love with it. I think you need to get creative in Gronk's absence and ASJ is just the creative I'm talking about.
