Fantasy Football Now: Oct. 7, 2014

My blog will be changing its content starting this week. I am sorry if any of you are bummed that the Crazy Camper will not be resuming, but the information unfortunately I thought I could write about is too inside joke like to explain in great detail. So from now on I will be writing about Fantasy Football each week. Which will include topics like who to start if you are in a league, who to sit, who to pick up on the waiver wires and who I personally like as a player over all. I hope that those of you with a Fantasy Football team will find these post to be a good source of information, and I guess for those of you were this topic doesn't affect your life, well heck, maybe you have a crush on the New York Jets wide receiver (WR) and wouldn't mind hearing how he's doing.

To start of week 6 of the season I would like to talk about what running backs (RB) you should start or sit. The first player that I really like is Justin Forsett of the Baltimore Ravens in his matchup against a every week Tampa Bay defense. If you are playing in a points per reception league or otherwise known as PPR, Fosett is a guarantee start. Look for him to have at least 10 catches and a handful of rushing downs. Other players you may want to keep in mind this week are Eddie Lacy, Ahmad Bradshaw, and the return of Ben Tate, all have good matchups in week 6.

Running backs you may want to avoid this week are Doug Martin who faces a strong defensive line in Baltimore, Zach Stacy who is coming off an injury and has to go against the #4 ranked 49ers defense, an finally the running back who I dislike the most this week is Darren Sproles. I know he has started the year off strong but lately he's been lacking in the unique passing game we are used to seeing him in, he is also running behind a weak offensive line and has to split many carries with his teammate LeSean McCoy. If you have Sproles I'd advise you to avoid playing him unless you are counting on lucky points from a punt return like he is known for.

Moving into to the Quarterback (QB) position now I have some interesting players that you may want to consider starting over you number one QB this week if he has been less than pleasing to your team. The first name I want to throw at you is Eli Manning of the New York Giants, who has come out of know where as a quality quarterback. He plays an awful defensive back field this week from the Philadelphia Eagles and I predict he will throw for at least 2 touchdowns and over 300 yards, and who wouldn't with players like Larry Donnell and Victor Cruz. One other player who has been on my radar lately is Austin Davis of the St. Louis Rams, he has established himself as a touchdown throwing, fire ball passing machine. I know you may be iffy of the rookie and only his third game as a starter, although when you are throwing to a WR like Brian Quick who has been his favorite target, its hard not to trust him. Look to add these players to your roster and possibly even start over your current quarterback for this week.

And I will end my week 6 fantasy outlook like I plan to every week with the wavier wire pick ups of the week. These are the guys who could potential change you team around and add some significant points to your overall score. My first man that I see has a need to pick up player is Branden Oliver of the San Diego Chargers, he is coming off a great week where he ran all over a NYJ defense who is one of the top in the league right now, and with all the injuries the chargers has faced this year at the running back position he is considered a number one on the depth chart and has earned that spot after a fantastic outbreak this week. Another player you should look for is Mohamed Sanu if he is available. Granted he is a number two WR to a terrific player like AJ Green, but lately he has been seeing a lot more snaps all over the field. Whether he is catching passes, lining up as a RB, or even throwing touchdowns, it has become clear that Cincinnati likes to use him in multiple roles, and when a team that is 3-1 is doing that you should plan to at least add him to your bench and wait to play him  in his break out week. To finish I leave you with these names to look up, Andre Williams (RB) of the New York Giants, Michael Floyd (WR) of the Arizona Cardinals, and finally if you are in deeper formatted leagues where players are hard to come by, Benjamin Cunningham (RB) of the St. Louis Rams.

Thank you for reading, and may the odds be ever in your favor this week my fellow fantasy football owners
