FANTASY FOOTBALL QUESTION ???

QUESTION:

Ronnie, I am looking for a RB for this weekend, maybe next weekend if I survive, for the playoffs. My top 2 choices (that are available) are Dominic Davis (HOU) and Chris Brown (TEN). Ironically their teams are playing each other this weekend. (My other alternative is to stick with Stephan Jackson). Other RB’s that are available are Ronnie Brown, Curtis Martin, Samkon Gado, DeShaun Foster, Greg Jones, Ricky Williams. Any advice? Any others names in mind? Thanks, Greg

p.s.: Also, I’m sitting pretty good at WR, but are there any 1 week sleepers at WR? (Is there such a thing as a 1 week sleeper at WR, they are so inconsistent.)


RESPONSE:

At least for this week go with Dominic Davis and Chris Brown. Both defenses suck. Stephen Jackson has been inconsistant to say the least. No sleepers any more.

Sincerely, Ronnie Keesee

QUESTION:

Ronnie, What has happened to Stephan Jackson? This guy was looking like a true stud, and looked to produce even better FF numbers when Mark Bulger went down with an injury (for the second time this year). I have Stephan Jackson on my FF team. Is this stud is turning into a dud?? He was until very recently a must start RB. Can you shed some light Stephan Jackson’s situation in St. Louis for me. Should I be looking to replace him in my starting line up? Thanks, Greg


RESPONSE:

I am just as surprised as you are that his success hasn't culminated each week but very average to say the least. You can't say it was exemplary rush defenses either. Arizona and Tennessee were very surprising. Washington made it very clear that their defensive game plan as well as the Arizona Cardinals was to make St. Louis passing game beat them by stacking the box and to my amazement it has worked to a tee. It also appears he has lost his legs a little.

He has some very easy matchups coming in week #14 (Vikings), & week #16 (S.F.49er's).

If he fails in week #14 be leary of automatically starting Jackson.

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!!!!!
