Hello Fantasy Football Fans,<\/p>\n
Welcome back to the 8th week of over and underachievers. We will continue to focus on guys who are ranked outside the top 20 for skill positions and top 10 for Qb\u2019s and Te\u2019s as many of you will have to always start a skill player in the top 20 regardless of matchup. This should assist more people with game day lineup decisions. Their weekly rating will always be listed in parenthesis. Last week I went 4-6 for the Overachievers highlighted by Carson Palmer, Denarious Moore and Jared Cook while going 9-1 for under achievers being led by Andy Dalton, Torrey Smith, and Fred Davis. With the 1st game coming up on Thursday here is our list:<\/p>\n
Overachievers Underachievers<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Cam Newton (11)- His stats have been OK but going to Chicago and playing what is maybe the best defense of the past 10 years on the road is not a recipe for success. Thank you for reading all year and I hope my advice is helpful whether here or on Twitter.<\/p>\n Please feel free to contact me on Twitter dvond with any questions or comment on the above article.

\n<\/strong>\u2022 Tony Romo (12)- He has had a ton of recent success versus the Giants with a 11-2 TD\/INT ratio.
\n\u2022 Philip Rivers (13)-This is his week, he gets the terrible Browns pass defense and coming off a bye week, if it does not happen now, it will not happen this year.
\n\u2022 Vick Ballard (25)-He should have the job one more week and the Titans have been friendly to all opposing teams.
\n\u2022 Jonathon Stewart (28)-There has been a ton of talk about him having the bulk of the carries.
\n\u2022 Pierre Thomas (29)- He has eclipsed Mark Ingram and should be a bunch of red zone carries.
\n\u2022 Hakeem Nicks (21)- He finally looked healthy last week and should be rid of all rust.
\n\u2022 James Jones (26)-Greg Jennings is now out for a long time after surgery but Jones just missed another TD last week and should get plenty of opportunities versus the Jaguars.
\n\u2022 Lance Moore (29)-He has stepped into all the targets left by the Jimmy Graham injury.
\n\u2022 Jeremy Kerley (32)- He has been a top 10 receiver the past 3 weeks, should run free versus the Dolphins.
\n\u2022 Dustin Keller (11)-He came back last week and was a favorite target of Sanchez, should continue to make his free agent push.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Carson Palmer (15)- He has been sneaky good but the Chiefs have had 2 weeks to prepare.
\n\u2022 Steven Jackson (20)-He continues to be ranked like it is 2 years ago but is in a 50\/50 job share, stay away if you have other options.
\n\u2022 Shonn Greene (21)- Even with the recent success he is only getting 3.3 ypc the last few weeks ad get a very tough Miami run defense.
\n\u2022 Alex Green (23)-He is not a Rb1 and lack the toughness and speed, I can see Starks getting another chance.
\n\u2022 Steve Smith (24)- WR1 do not have success as seen by Megatron last week versus the Bears.
\n\u2022 Josh Gordon (31)-He has gotten 3 TD\u2019s in last 4 weeks but the surprise is over.
\n\u2022 Mike Williams (33)- The Vikings have been stout versus the pass and should take him out of the game.
\n\u2022 Michael Crabtree (34)- Patrick Peterson will take the slow plodding Wr1 out of the game.
\n\u2022 Brandon Pettigrew (14)- he has been a disappointment along with most of the Lions passing game.<\/p>\n
