10 Things to Think About for Week Six.

1. T.O. puts up huge numbers, but he has poor technique when he attempts to catch the ball, as witnessed by his league leading dropped passes in ‘06, the two point conversion he dropped vs. the Bills on MNF and the pass that he dropped on the last drive. Way to come up small T.O.!

2. Bucs RB - Earnest Graham will be the undisputed starter with Michael Pittman out 6-8 weeks and Kenneth Darby will be moved to the number two spot. Look for the Bucs to try and make a deal with the Dolphins for the rights to Ricky Williams. Put Williams on your "sleeper radar".

3. Seahawks WR - Deion Branch will miss two games, so Nate Burleson gets a bump in value, as does Bobby Engram and TE Marcus Pollard.

4. Green Bay rookie WR - James Jones had two key fumbles against Chicago and that makes veteran Koren Robinson’s reinstatement that much more attractive from a waiver wire stand point. K-Rob would be a factor in the Packers’ offense that relies so heavily on the pass.

5. Damon Huard has not been ruled out in the Chiefs week 6 game at home vs. the Bengals, but if he can’t go Brodie Croyle will get his first NFL start and that should negatively impact Dwayne Bowe’s numbers. Consider this - as bad as the Bengals D have been, they look like a pretty darn good fantasy option against Croyle.

6. Look for Ravens WR - Demitrius Williams to have his best game of the year at home against the Rams porous secondary.

7. Fantasy owners who are sitting on Devery Henderson better look for points elsewhere, considering the state of the Saints’ O-Line, a QB in Brees that has thrown for only one TD in four games and the pending rotation of Terrance Copper and David Patten. Ugh!

8. Former Tennessee Volunteer Jason Witten is on pace for 92 receptions, 1302 yards and 12 TD’s. I don’t know about you, but he was by far the best value pick of my draft.

9. If Jamal Lewis misses any games, backup RB Jason Wright could be an excellent waiver wire play in PPR leagues.

10. From the "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" department, look no further than Browns WR - Tim Carter, who had three catches for 50 yards and a TD grab against the Patriots when Joe Jurevicius left the game. With the week six bye upon us, EVERYBODY is desperate for a warm body. Carter might be the guy for you if you are hurting for waiver wire bucks and or options.

Clayton and Paolantonio Guess Wrong.

John Clayton completely missed the boat and gave out bad fantasy information regarding Derrick Ward this past weekend. Clayton, based solely on his own conjecture, said on the air Saturday, that Ward wouldn’t play vs. the Eagles on Sunday night. We at FantasyFreakinFootball.com didn’t believe Mr. Clayton and I kept Ward in my lineup. Ward had said earlier in the week that he was ready to take whatever the Eagles would dish out, so that seemed enough to convince me that this guy was not about to surrender the starting job with a little ankle booboo. Apparently Clayton wasn’t convinced by that, or the fact that Ward had practiced on Thursday, before sitting out with "soreness" on Friday. Mr. Clayton should remember what Sergeant Joe Friday used to say, "just the facts."

Sal Paolantonio caught a piece of the ESPN disinformation bug, when he announced on air that Laurence Maroney would be active for the Patriots’ Monday Night Football tilt with the Bengals. Maroney watched the game in street clothes, just like many Maroney owners who didn't bother to switch out Maroney with Sammy Morris, based on the bogus report. What gives guys? If you don’t know, then offer up your OPINION - otherwise, if you want to guess, then get a job at Magic Mountain guessing peoples weight.
