Outofmyhead Week 1 Knowledge for Good and Not Evil from Stan Lisowski
CUTLER has never thrown an interception vs. Detroit, while having 6 touchdown passes. In his last 3 games against the Lions, FORTE has rushed for over 100 yards in each. MEGATRON has caught at least 6 receptions in 3 consecutive games vs. the Bears. Last season, while a member of Seattle, Burleson had 9 catches good for 109 yards against Chicago.
HENNE threw 3 picks the last time the Fins were in Buffalo. But R WILLIAMS ran for 115 yards and a TD on 27 carries. In 2 career games against the Bills, MARSHALL has 15 receptions for 181 yards. EDWARDS is a less than 55% passer, lifetime vs. Miami.
Cleveland’s DELHOMME has not had good luck going up against Tampa, with 7 interceptions and just 2 scores his last 3 games vs. the Bucs. Keep an eyeball on Tampa Bay’s M. WILLIAMS. With FREEMAN back throwing, these 2 youngsters could be noisemakers for the Buccaneers.
Bengal defense could make some noise this year, as they had 15 sacks during the preseason. Know who led the NFL with 20 during the exhibitions? Carolina. Yes, Carolina, without PEPPERS.
Speaking of the Panthers, in last season’s destruction of NY, MOORE completed 75% of his passes throwing 15 of 20 with 3 TDs. STEWART, subbing for D WILL, busted 200 and change on the ground alone. The SMITHS, both STEVES combined for 12 catches, 130 yards and dos touchdowns.
Given the success that was had in the preseason, J. FINLEY should be in for a monster 1st game up against a defense that was in the bottom 10 in defending the tight end position last year and has notoriously been weak vs. that spot in years past.
MJD had 2 TDs and 148 total yards the last time the Jags faced Denver. GARRARD is 39 of 54 lifetime passing vs. the Broncos. That’s 72% for those without calculators.
San Francisco’s GORE has averaged 150 yards rushing at home vs. the Seahawks the last 2 seasons. In Seattle though, during that same time, he has averaged 110 yards LESS.
LARRY FITZ has averaged 7.5 receptions the past 3 years against St. Loo. S. JACKSON has only 1 career 100 yard rushing game vs. Arizona in 9 meetings. HIGHTOWER should be in all of your starting lineups this week, as along with B. WELLS’ injury, HIGHTOWER rushed for over 100 yards in his last 2 games on this field.
M. BUSH owners be patient. The player is a beast and still will be the better option in the Oakland back field. Z. MILLER should be on your tight end list as he will surely be a bail out for CAMPBELL.
Sure Indy has dominated Houston. But injuries on the offensive line and the Texan’s growth may change that this year. Nevertheless, P. MANNING has 37 touchdown passes and has completed over 70% of his 540 throws against Houston-540 attempts; 70+% completions. A JOHNSON has 28 catches in his last 4 games against the Colts. Indianapolis gave up 132 yards rushing per game in preseason play-hello A FOSTER.
Pass catchers delight from the meeting in Washington last year for the Cowboys and Skins. AUSTIN had 9 catches for 92 yards, with WITTEN hauling in 6 for 117. S MOSS also had 90+ yards on 8 grabs.
In 2 games for his lifetime against the Jets, BOLDIN has 18 receptions for 206 yards. D.MASON has 24 catches for 241 yards in 3 career games.
RIVERS had 5 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in the 2 games vs. KC last season. Over the past 2 years, GATES has 27 receptions for an 80 yard average per game against the Chiefs. CASSEL has only 2 TDs and 6 interceptions for his career vs. the Chargers. CHAMBERS, vs. his former team had 7 catches for 70 yards and a score last year. Watch McCLUSTER for the Chiefs. With Urban hurt, the rookie becomes a WR3 for Kansas City. He’s also RB3 for them as well.
