Hit 7 out of 10 predictions Sunday. Here's what to make of them.
Wrong Picks:
(1) It was the Jeremy Maclin show in Arizona last night, as Jordan Matthews collected only 47 yards. However, lost in that number was the fact that Matthews had a season-high number of targets (11). His time is coming. It simply wasn't in Week 9.
(2) I accept getting Bryce Brown (15 yards) wrong. But true to form, Anthony Dixon (22 rushes for 44 yards) looked worse. Brown remains the better player and better play (with much more upside) going forward.
(3) Justin Forsett's consistent production defies logic. He now has at least 85 total yards in his last 5 games. I admit defeat.
Correct Picks:
(1) Been saying since the preseason that Sanu is a must-start WR while Marvin Jones is sidelined. A.J. Green's injury has propelled Sanu into the WR1 conversation. He's as good as advertised, and better than any of the so-called "experts" predicted.
(2) Dalton is a perennial top 16 QB with streaming upside. It was clear he would rebound from last week's debacle, and he came through with 19 points in standard scoring leagues.
(3) A late score made Jeffery fantasy relevant after Week 7's o-fer. He's the 17th highest scoring fantasy WR, and I still believe he'll finish in the top 10.
(4) For the second straight week, Ben Tate looked awful. He salvaged the day with a TD, but as expected, but 26 yards in 15 carries is abysmal. Those who sold high Sunday morning will reap the benefits.
(5) Joe Flacco was beyond bad in a deceptively tough road game--just as it was meant to be.
(6) Darren McFadden is not the answer in fantasy leagues. He ran decently, but a lack of scoring opportunities makes him irrelevant most weeks.
(7) Based on what I read last week, Tre Mason's Week 7 outburst was a mirage. He might be good next season, but I don't see it this year, and yesterday's performance (3 fantasy points) reinforced that belief.
