Week 5, 2010: Philadelphia Eagles @ San Francisco 49ers
Oct 8th
After getting last weeks prediction drastically wrong I’m beginning to think that I’m in the wrong business! Nevertheless, I’ll stick with it and overcome this slump I’ve fallen into. For week 5 I’ll be travelling to Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California and checking out the Philadelphia Eagles at the 49ers.
As part of our regular Wembley Watch articles, Andrew will take a look at the 49ers after the game, but I have to make a call before. So let’s take a look…
Fantasy Football Hints and Tips #2 – Players to Avoid
Aug 6th
In the second instalment in this series on Fantasy Football, I’ll be looking at players to avoid in the early rounds this year… for one reason or another. There will basically be 2 kinds of player in this category. First, let’s start with those who will miss the start of the season (or even more).
Vincent Jackson – I love Vincent Jackson. The guy is a great player and has won me many a fantasy game over the years. He’s usually my first receiver pick in the draft, that’s how much faith I have in him when he plays. Unfortunately this season he has a 3 game suspension. On top of that he has refused to sign his tender as a restricted free agent, and rumours are flying around that because of this we might not see him play even after his suspension finishes. I hope not, because he is talented and a great guy to watch play. If it was up to me I’d be leaving him to the free agency wire and keeping a close eye on how events unfold.
Santonio Holmes – Santonio Holmes, fresh from a move to the New York Jets from the Pittsburgh Steelers, is joining a very, very good team. It’s just a shame he won’t be playing for the first 4 games. Usually you’d see Santonio go in the first 3 rounds of a draft, and rightly so. He is a solid receiver and will get you points. But missing 4 games AND a bye week means 5 total weeks of zero production. If you see him still there in the later rounds then by all means grab him as a bench warmer for half the season, but don’t waste a good pick in getting him early.
