Pick 2: Bess... VJax... Branch and Nicks w/snowstorm

Postby surgicalshotgun » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:48 am

I'm looking for some up-side, but I absolutely cant take any zeros.

Deion Branch--PROS: Lighting it up recently. CONS: But the weather is gonna be horrendous. I am starting two Pats already (Hernandez, BJGE) in what one would think will be a low scoring game. It seems irresponsible to put my playoff success on one team in crappy weather.

Hakeem Nicks--PROS: A dream matchup against a run-stopping, but weak secondary defense. Delay until Monday allows another day of healing, and he feels optimistic about his progress CONS: Performance after surgery is questionable. His involvement has been described as "comparable to a preseason game"

VJax--PROS: No weather concerns. CONS: Questionable intentions to play at 100%. If/when SD gets ahead in this game, will he be effective?

Davone Bess--PROS: Revis is likely to cover Marshall, while Bess could pick apart a secondary missing their 'defensive quarterback' Safety Jim Leonhard. The weather I presume is a non-issue, compared to NE/CHI and NYG/MIN. CONS: He doesn't score TDs.

How would you play it?
QB: Eli Manning
RB: Knowshon Moreno, Benjarvis Green-Ellis, Brandon Jacobs
WR: Hakeem Nicks, Vincent Jackson, Deion Branch, Davone Bess, Ochocinco
TE: Aaron Hernandez, Owen Daniels
K: David Akers
Def: GB

12-team, standard format

this is a tough one....I would probably roll with Nicks because he is playing Minny's weak pass D.....the 2nd is tougher...I would usually go with branch but I think they are forecasting 30 mph winds so thats gonna be tough to throw in...i just dont trust vjax at all he is just trying get through the year without a significant injury....So i guess go wiwth bess he will at least get you some respectable point especially with revis covering marshall

I'd go with Nicks(if he plays) and Bess...Nicks b/c of the weak D, and Bess mainly because Revis is on Marshall, that will free up for Bess ...I don't trust Jackson. If Nicks doesn't play, go Branch I think Brady will be able to play a decent game despite weather predictions...
