Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to this weeks picks. You and I are both getting closer and closer to the big payoff at the end of a successful season. So it is important to dot our i’s and cross our t’s. Make sure that we put in the right guys and keep out the wrong ones.

Anyway, I’m gonna make this one short cuz I can smell that turkey cookin and I’m getting really hungry. I’ve be saving every square inch of my stomach for what is about to take place. I love Thanksgiving!

Here’s your picks!

Start em if you got em…

Justin Forsett RB (SEA) - Last week I had him as a sleeper and he delivered. This week he should go straight into your line-up as a solid RB2. The Rams are a surprising 13th against the run but Seattle will be using him extensively in the passing game. He will get over 100 all purpose yards, 5 + catches and 1 or more touchdowns.

Before I get to this weeks picks I want to share a new rule I’ve made as a result of last weeks picks; never pick the Arizona D as a start. Man what a disaster. They were playing so well and against decent teams. Crazy how Carolina just came in and rolled up on them. Live and learn I guess.

Also this week, I have a few things I wanted to tell you about other than the usual start sit stuff. A few fantasy blogger friends of mine are promoting a a few things you may be interested in. Make sure you check that out the “Around The Web” section (below) before you go because you could win a $50 gift certificate.

OK, so lets get to it.

Start em if you got em…

Dwayne Bowe WR (KC) – I think he is a safe bet against the Jags considering they very near the bottom against the pass (26th). Also, I can’t imagine there will be too much defense in this one. I can easily see a 6 for 100 yard day with a TD.

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.
