QB Analysis
After being burned by Philip Rivers innumerable times my gut tells me not to trust him. But, he has been phenomenal this season and the Expert Fanduel.com leagues are difficult cuz they are expert. Even if Rivers gets me a few points less than his 23 average, I'll feel like I came out on top.
RB Analysis
With the running back flux hitting owners full in the face this year, I'm spending buying Frank Gore, who has been a consistent, if not sexy fantasy pick. Against Houston he will be more than worth the $6,900 he costs.
Rashad Jennings was pretty damn good in relief off the injured D-Mac and San Diego has been bad against the run. Jennings will catch some balls and make some runs. I'm hoping one is for a TD.
WR Analysis
It's Week 5 and I welcome you to the ultimate low price flyer edition of WR Fanduel. Eric Decker is my most sure bet. While he may not catch a TD pass, Peyton has made a point of keeping all his pass catchers happy. Decker is the cheapest Bronco receiver which makes him a solid play any week.
Alshon Jeffery has been a nice play this year. He is averaging 11 points through the first four games, and I think that despite the Saints better defensive play he'll do better than that this week.
Nate Washington has averaged a crazy 15 points per week this year and he blew up last week. He is a consistent receiver that will have to perform to keep Tennessee in this game. Expect lots of garbage time work.
TE Analysis
Not much to analyze here. I'm paying for Jimmy Graham and I am glad to do it. Jordan Cameron has been great, but I want consistent greatness and Graham gives me that. Keep an eye on Cameron going forward. He just might join Graham.
K Analysis
I try not to spend money on a kicker. Out of the $5,000 options Janikowski is my favorite.
D Analysis
New Oleans' defense has made major strides this season. I don't have high hopes for them this week, but with only $5,000 to spend they are the best option. Let's hope for a Cutler pick six.
