Football: Play  Bench"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Each week in this space I will review players who are ranked outside the top 10 for Qb&#8217;s and Te&#8217;s and top 20 for Wr&#8217;s in the weekly ESPN rankings on who I think will flourish and who will disappoint this upcoming week. \u00a0I do not review those ranked higher since they are probably highly drafted and unable to be benched.\u00a0 Last week was a good week, I went 6-2 in the Play them and 6-3 in the Bench them.\u00a0 We have our 2nd bye week with the Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and Washington being off.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get to this week;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Play Them;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Terelle Pryor (12) \u2013 \u00a0He is back and healthy and should be able to put up a solid day versus the average San Diego defense.<\/p>\n<p>Eli Manning (14)- If you still have him here is his make ro break week in getting the awful Eagles defense.<\/p>\n<p>Davis Wilson (21) \u2013 With the release of Scott and the Eagles defense plus him getting more and more carries this should be his 2013 breakout.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Mathews (25) \u2013 I do not love him but the Raiders are not great and he idi total up 100 yards last week.<\/p>\n<p>James Jones (20)- The Lions pass defense has a ton of holes and with the Packers off the bye week, they should explode at home.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Smith (22) \u2013 As good as the Cardinals are against the run is as bad as they are versus the pass.<\/p>\n<p>Kenbrell Thompkins (25) \u2013 He is now the favorite deep threat in New England, and should continue to get better and better.<\/p>\n<p>Coby Fleener (13) \u2013 Andrew Luck in his limited throws continues to force the ball to his college teammate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bench Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Andrew Luck (11) \u2013 \u00a0He has not had back to back weeks with 2 TD\u2019s throwing since early last year and think he struggles with the Seahawks defense.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Bradford (16) \u2013 Fisher is promising a run heavy game plan and limiting Sam\u2019s decisions and pass attempts, stay far away.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Ridley (22) \u2013 He is in a 3 way job share plus missed all practices this week.<\/p>\n<p>Rashad Jennings (24) \u2013 Even if McFadden does not play, he has shown nothing last year when given the job, do not take that chance.<\/p>\n<p>Cecil Shorts (24) \u2013 I would usually say start all players versus the Rams but he was banged up all week and not sure how the targets will fall with Blackmon back.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Wallace (26) \u2013 With only 1 good week out of four, who knows when he will play well again, let it be someone\u2019s else issue.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Johnson (30) \u2013 He will get matched up against Joe Haden which is bad news for the best receivers in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Brent Celek (16) \u2013 Vick very rarely looks to him, bigger chance of him busting than a boom.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading and please free to ask any questions on <a
