Here are a few pieces of good news I think you will want to know about.

Turns out there is a site out there that is keeping tabs on all of us fantasy prognosticators. The site is FantasyXpert.com and they watch fantasy websites to keep track of who is good at predicting information so that you – the fantasy player – know who to trust.

You will want to stop by and read their post entitled – and the title freakin long – “How Albert Einstein Can Increase Your Fantasy Football Performance by 45 percent.”

While reading you might notice that the FantasyFootballGoat – that’s me – was voted most accurate for start advice in October (which was voted on before my week 8 disaster which included the Arizona D….WTF Cardinals?).

Anyway, that is pretty good news.  I am glad that I am doing something right and, most of all, helping out some of the best readers – that’s you guys – make better fantasy decisions.

Won’t be long now and the fantasy playoff will be here and there is no room for error. SOOO, lets make sure you have quality contributors to put in your line-up and make sure you keep the dead weight out of it. Check this list!

Start em if you got em…

Arizona D – These dudes are on a tear – 7 int’s, 8 forced fumbles and 16 sacks this year already – and guess who’s comin to town – Jake “the Turnover Machine” Delhomme. I don’t think it takes much more convincing than that.  Oh, and I bet you can find them on your waiver wire. Look for 4 sacks, less than 14 points, 3 picks and a TD.

Well I called the Jets success in the running game last week but the Cinci D didn’t help at all with the Schaub prediction.  Just when you were ready to start believing in the Bengals, they take a step back. Typical!

But then again, that Texans O isn’t exactly chopped liver and perhaps the Bengals were a little emotionally fatigued after all the tough division games combined with the events surrounding the surprising death of the defensive coordinators wife.

Either way, you can’t win them all. But, it sure as hell isn’t gonna keep me from tryin. Take a look at this weeks picks.

Start em if you got em…

Ryan Grant RB (GB) The Browns are allowing 165 yards per game to apposing running backs and, on top of that, they’ve given up 9 touchdowns in six games (do the math). And if the Packers are smart they will concentrate on running the ball both to exploit the weak Browns rushing D and to keep Rodgers upright (something the injuries along the line have been preventing them from doing.  I think 115+ yards and 1+ touchdown are very doable don’t you?

As the title implies, I am shortening this installment up a bit this week due to my lack of time (A wedding and a performance this weekend to prepare for. My head is wanting to spin). But, these are some super quality picks that I am super confident in. Check them out.

Start em if you got em…

Thomas Jones/Leon Washington RB (NYJ) – The Bills are giving up about 150 a game this year and they even let Jamal Lewis “plow” for over 100 last week. I just bet the Jets will run all over them. Thomas Jones goes for 100 and a TD and Leon goes for 125 all around yards with a big play for a TD and a few receptions sprinkled in to please you PPR guys.

So did you my heed my advice and bench Stephen Jackson last week? How about my call on not giving up on Steve Slaton? Hopefully you did and are now savoring the sweet fruit of success. If not, well, there’s always this week. Take a look at what I have for you for week 5.

Start em if you got em…

Marshawn Lynch RB (BUF) – You drafted him and you waited patiently for three weeks only to see him get 8 carries for 4 yards last week. Bummer! Well I say this is the week he puts up some numbers for you. Cleveland is 31st against the run and just ripe for the picken. I’m can see him easily cracking the 100 yard mark and something tells me he has 2 touchdowns in him (that something being a little stat that says Cleveland has given up a league high 8 rushing td’s so far this year – thats 2 per game for you math wizards).
