FANTASY FOOTBALL QUESTIONS ???

QUESTION:

Ronnie, Who do you think will have more FF success going down the stretch to the end of the season, Larry Johnson (KC) or Rudi Johnson (CIN)? Larry Johnson faces some good run defenses, and Rudi Johnson seems to have the easier schedule against the run. Are there some other hidden gems to look at going down the stretch that may be flying under the radar due to poor first half to the season. Thanks.


RESPONSE:

You are correct to say that Larry Johnson faces tougher run defenses in virtually all the matchups. Rudi Johnson faces some very poor run defenses. Now after saying that, i refer to the exemption in these cases, always play your studs no matter what the matchup.

Because of the injury to Holmes, Larry Johnson has filled in tremendously and now will be the Chiefs back of the future. Rudi Johnson was very slow out of the gate after week #1. Until the last 2 weeks which he has scored 2 td's in each game, his touchdown's were a total of 3 for the entire season.Either one will be a good play. If you can, play them both. By now, most of the sleepers are known. I would keep the backup to any injury riddled Qb. Watch backups to Fred (Fraud) Taylor, Cory Dillon. Also if your playoffs extend to week #17 then pickup the backups to Shaun Alexander, Any Indy Colt and so on......

Good Luck!!!!!

Sincerely, Ronnie Keesee
