Ranks 11 Sleepers Drew Stanton steps in
Let's play GUESS MARK SANCHEZ'S MNF STAT LINEI'm going with 14/24, 190 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT. Patrick Crawley (@pecrawleynfl) Where are your butt fumble jokes now? I almost wish would have taken the podium following the win over the on Monday night, gone double bird and then said, "Later, jerks." and then walked off into the sunset. But Mark is just way too cla sy for that. Instead he took the podium and fielded questions with his usual aplomb and went about his busine s, even though he proved his doubters wrong. Well at least for one week. Sanchez was on point against the . Of course, some would like to dismi s it as bad defense but Sanchez was pretty accurate on his throws. He did get away with a potential interception but hey, it was
Vance McDonald Jersey a nearly flawle s start from a guy who hadn't started since 2012. The should provide a more accurate test for Sanchez this week. I'm still going to roll with him in my League of Record because I lost Foles. And really, if I have to choose between Sanchez and some of the other guys on this list, I'm going to roll with Mark. The offense is too good, and I'm really just about pot-committed to Sanchez at this point. So why not go all-in? But while it's good for one former-USC quarterback, the news isn't so great for another. I'm rather bummed about what has happened to . It's hard to imagine now, but some folks questioned whether he would ever return to the NFL after his injury in 2006. And then he had that regrettable stint with the . I remember seeing him at Wahoo's Fish Tacos before he went to Oakland and the dude seemed content with life (saw him at a USC tailgate after that, too). But he did go to Oakland and then seemed to have a new lease on life when he went to Arizona. Of course the Birds were rolling to the best record in the NFL and this injury happened. Seriously, this is a total buzzkill. So where do we go from here? I like a little bit. I don't care for the matchup this week against the , but he can be a serviceable fantasy option at some point this year. Actually, he
Merril Hoge Jersey still has two games left against the and that can be a bit troubling. So I only see him as a streaming option in Week 13 against the . No reason to keep him on your roster. And even then, the matchup against the isn't that great. But you're in luck because I have some other quarterbacks you can look at. , QB, McCown seems to have remembered what made him so great in Chicago; namely chucking it up for his big, tall receivers to go up and get it. He's got a pretty great matchup this week against the who have been
Mike Wagner Jersey very giving to opposing quarterbacks. , QB, Washington On the other side of the ball, Tampa Bay has been just as plentiful for quarterbacks. returned two weeks ago and was fine. Nothing special. But you hope with a bye week and some time to get his stuff together, he could be poised for a nice stat line. , QB, Well, I can't guarantee you there is going to be -like production. And the should at some point really put the wood to somebody because they are profe sionals. So I will lightly endorse this play. , RB, Well, you know I've hyped this dude for quite some time. Now he's got a chance, as predicted in the #DangerZone last week. Anderson has looked great in back-to-back weeks and even with back in the mix, the won't hesitate to go to the hot hand. aka Los Hyde, RB, These can always be a bit unnerving. The have a great matchup, but we've seen some great fantasy plays blow up in our faces before. This also depends on . Never a great scenario. But Harbaugh has given the ball to Hyde inexplicably in the past (remember the Monday night game against St. Louis?), so this one is worth a shot if you're in need of a runner. , RB, I know, he's slowed a bit. Perhaps it was a bit of a rookie wall with all of the work he's gone through. But I like the matchup against the . And even if does return, Oliver will still have a place in the lineup, similar to what would do. , WR, He's done a great job of blowing the top off of defenses around the league. He's caught all of the touchdowns from Stanton, so you would be foolish to ignore him. The are going to be a bit tougher, but you need just one touchdown from Brown. , WR, Washington I kind of like this matchup against the Bucs. This has been kind of a rocky year for Roberts, who thought he was going to be the No. 2 guy in D.C. But it's cool, he has a chance for points this week. , WR,
David DeCastro Jersey Yep, the are another one of those teams who engage in the popcorn popper. You never know who is going to present themselves. I like the 5-foot-8 dynamo to give a lot of fits to the , who have given up a ton of points to fantasy receivers this season. , WR, Yeah, he kind of burnt us over the weekend. I mean, everybody was partying against the but we didn't see much from Adams. Mostly because the chose to go after the with a two-tight end formation for most of the night. Doh! The could use more three-receiver sets against the . , TE, The give up a ton of fantasy points to tight ends. Then there's . So there are a lot of things going for him if he's healthy enough to return. , TE, Washington is pretty generous to opposing tight ends, so this is a nice play. The only thing going against ASJ is he scored last week. Now we're just going to look like we chased the points. But if you need a guy, like if you played last week or something. He's worth a chase, I suppose. I know,
Kevin Greene Jersey hearty endorsement. , D/ST This was one of our sleepers last week. Wait, let me check that. Oh no, I didn't. I had the on there. Whatevs. But if you picked up the last week, you should start them. And if you didn't, see if the unit is available. For the record, you can submit your fantasy questions to , or me on Twitter. But realize, NFL Live has 270K followers, and Fabiano has 165K. Me? Just four. See, the odds are better I will answer your question, so hit me up both or . And if you follow him on Sundays, he'll quote "The Wolf" from "Pulp Fiction" and then it's game on! Although, it's tough to catch me on Facebook. Twitter is your go-to."
