Week 5 Bro's and Hoe's



Let me preface this with letting you know how it all works. Bro's are the guys I think you'd share a drink with after the Week 5 games and the Hoe's are the guys who you'd want to kick to the curb like a cheap hooker. Some of these names may seem obvious, some not so obvious - but here it goes.

BRO's

Joey Harrington
- Has looked much better and makes a great bye-week fill in.
Alge Crumpler - Gets consistent looks for an offense that won't be running on Sunday.
Roddy White
- Shall continue to produce and hit the end zone against a Titans secondary that clearly focuses on the run.
Ron Dayne - "Thunder" will rumble against a porous Dolphins rush D. He's still the Texans #1 back as I don't see how brittle Ahman Green returns.
Ronnie Brown - a blessing in PPR leagues as he leads all RB's in receptions and has two straight games over 200 totals yards even with the worst O-line in football blocking for him.
Larry Johnson - Have you noticed how many teams have ran all over Jacksonville? LJ's day shall be special.
Maurice Jones-Drew - I predict his triumphant return from the garbage can.
Edgerrin James - St. Louis is banged up everywhere .
Gus Frerotte - Nothing special but he knows Linehan's system and makes decent bye-week filler.
Tom Brady - You're looking at your 2007 NFL MVP against the Browns... ech!
Randy Moss - And here is Brady's runner-up.
Ben Watson - Will get back on his TD per week streak here.
Sammy Morris/Laurence Maroney - Whichever ends up playing will have a monster day behind the NFL's best offensive line.
Steve Smith - It's time! Carr will make the effort to find him.
Reggie Bush - First game as primary back will be a good one; this is going to be an offensive showdown.
Drew Brees - He can't be this bad with those weapons; can he?
Marques Colston - The man who helps bring back Drew Brees.
Plaxico Burress - Dyson, Revis, Barrett... whoever it may be has no chance even with a bum ankle.
Jeremy Shockey - Can't do it in on the clutch plays but gets his here and there enough to run his mouth.
Brandon Jacobs - Working his way back and will dominate big, fat, overpaid Dewayne Robertson right up the middle.
Santonio Holmes - Without Ward, what other option is there?
Ladell Betts - Not liking what I see about Portis' health. Best backup RB in the game.
Joe Addai - With the Colts being nicked up and against an under appreciated TB defense the Colts will need to win this game on the ground for once.
Michael Pittman - The guy you want for consistency; especially in PPR leagues.
Ladanian Tomlinson - Denver doesn't stop the run and he's still head and shoulders better than every RB in the league.
Jay Cutler
- SD's secondary has been torched all year - expect no change here.
Brandon Marshall/Brandon Stokely - Watch Javon walker's health as Stokely could be a sneaky play here. Marshall is really coming into his own.
Willis McGahee - The showdown of former backs from the U will be won by Willis.
Brett Favre/James Jones/Donald Lee/Greg Jennings/Donald Driver - Favre is just going to have one of those seasons and everyone benefits because of it. Chicago's D is beat up and not playing at it's usual level, especially in the secondary. I see the Pack having a field day at home.
Tony Romo/Terrell Owens - Has anyone seen Buffalo's defense lately? It's as if it doesn't even exist. I'd play anyone against them, nevermind guys with this type of talent.
Julius Jones/Marion Barber
- As I just mentioned, there will be enough Cowboys offense to go around for both of them on Sunday.
Lee Evans - He's Edwards lone option and I think Dallas's secondary is overrated. He's on the comeback trail.

HOE's

Warrick Dunn/Jerious Norwood
- Another week where Norwood doesn't take the reigns of the job as the entire ATL rushing attack gets stuffed.
Andre Davis - I think Deangelo Hall is the most overrated CB in the league but even he can handle Davis as a #1 WR.
Owen Daniels
- Falcons play some pretty good pass coverage.
Matt Schaub - Welcome back Matt... not much of a homecoming party for you here.
Dwayne Bowe/Damon Huard - Jax may not be able to stop the run, but they don't let anyone go over their heads.
David Garrard - Not a whole lot going on through the air in this game, not with these "weapons"
Matt Leinart/Kurt Warner - I've heard of RBBC and closer by committee but NEVER of QBBC. Stay away, Edge will grind this game out.
Brian Leonard - Zona is tough up front and the St. Louie O-line is just awful. Please try to leap over someone though - I can't wait for the hit as you land.
Derek Anderson - A team destined for perfection just got Rodney Harrison back. The dream is over Derek!
Kellen Winslow - You may be a soldier, but you're getting run off the battlefield on Sunday buddy.
CAR or NO defense - this is a coming out party for the entire NO's team and Steve Smith. Will it top Cinci-Cleveland?
Chad Pennington - If McNabb can get sacked 12 times, what is stopping the immobile noodle-arm from getting hit constantly?
Sean Alexander - Pittsburgh is good enough against the ground game to force Hasselback to go up top to have shot at winning.
Kevin Jones/Tatum Bell - No way; no how! Ain't touching this mess with your dick. All passing in the Motor City yet again this year.
Chris Cooley - Being forced to stay in and block more doesn't bode well for fantasy production.
Clinton Portis - Don't like what I'm hearing on the injury reports, knees are pretty important for a RB.
Reggie Wayne - Tampa is better than most think and being without Harrison will put all the focus on him.
Dallas Clark - Welcome back to reality.
Earnest Graham - Sure he has the "better" chance for the end zone; still don't think he's making it there. Has zero value otherwise.
Vincent Jackson
/Antonio Gates - It's not a good situation for VJ when he;s lined up opposite Champ Bailey when the passing game already stinks. Denver also allows the fewest pass yards per game in the NFL.
Travis Henry - SD is vulnerable through the air and Henry is dinged up. Time for the Shanahan carousel until he's fully healthy.
Trent Dilfer - U-G-L-Y! Not against a high school team, definitely not against Baltimore.
Frank Gore - Stack the box and the SF offense will shut itself down.
Any GB running back - Not with the wild gunslinger back there and not without an established starter.
Brian Griese - This experiment may be coming to an abrupt end. For the joke's alone, bring back the Sex Cannon!
Cedric Benson - This guy is SOFT and GB hits HARD. Not today, not ever for Cedric.
Marshawn Lynch - Buffalo is going to be behind and throwing. ALOT! Doesn't help that Dallas is strong up front.

There she is - in all it's glory. I'll check back on it Monday night to see how I did.

Dallas Clark will put up 87 yards and a TD, he's a TE that lines up in the slot 80% of the time. You've gotsta love that.

Plus Portis will have a big game too, I could run for 100 and 1 on Bett's back if I wanted to....
