Ask the Expert: Week 9 saw a lot of huge offensive performances from recently struggling offenses: Patriots, Steelers, Eagles, Texans (or pick another). Which of these strong outings, if any, do you believe is a mirage, and that offense will struggle the rest of the way?


Week 9 saw a lot of huge offensive performances from recently struggling offenses: Patriots, Steelers, Eagles, Texans (or pick another). Which of these strong outings, if any, do you believe is a mirage, and that offense will struggle the rest of the way?
The Steelers are likely to see a drop in fantasy production for several reasons. First, their production this week was fluky since they played NE and their "bend but don't break" defense in a shootout. Second, Pittsburgh's schedule is tougher (BUF, CLE, BAL, CIN and GB late in the season by the time Aaron Rodgers makes it back) than the other teams so the road to maintain such greatness is steep. Finally, Roethlisberger just looks a little beaten up this year. He does not seem to be as fresh or innovative as past seasons. Don't get me wrong Big Ben is still going to put up impressive FF numbers but not in shootouts like Sunday.

Week 10 Pick'ems

Week 9 results were good. I hit on 9 of 13 for 59 confidence points… I know it sounds bad but when you figure that of the 4 games I picked wrong-two were major upsets as CHI beat 10 pt favorite GB and the Jets beat NO who was favored by 6 pts.  And I hit on both of my upsets!

Week 10 Ranked in order of confidence so 14 points for most confidant prediction. Point spread in ().


IND (9.5) over STL
TEN (11.5) over JAX  (Survivor pick)
DEN (7) over SD
SEA (6.5) over ATL
NO (7) over DAL
SF (6) over CAR
NYG (7.5) over OAK
PIT (3) over BUF
AZ (2.5) over HOU
DET (2.5) over CHI
CIN (1.5) over BAL

UPSETS
PHI over GB (1)
TB over MIA (2.5)
MIN over WAS (2.5)

Ask the Expert: We're at the season's halfway point. Which big-name player who has disappointed so far will be a fantasy star the rest of the way?


We're at the season's halfway point. Which big-name player who has disappointed so far will be a fantasy star the rest of the way?

Adrian Peterson. He seemed to be over his hamstring injury Sunday night and had the same bursts we saw in the second half of last season. If the Vikings can get him back to 20+ carries he should be able to rack up some of his usual fantasy points. I am worried about the QB play in MIN and the fact the defense has not been able to get off the field does not help AP either, but I predict a big turnaround for this disappointing first round fantasy pick.
