\"fantasy-football\"<\/a>The next two weeks are going to be very hard with 6 teams being on bye but we will give it a shot.\u00a0 Last week was ok, I went 5-3 in the Play them and 5-4 in the Bench them.\u00a0 We have our 5th bye week with the Chicago, Tennessee, Indianapolis, San Diego, Baltimore, Houston being off.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get to this week…<\/p>\n

Play Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Michael Vick\u00a0 (11) \u2013 He may only be 80% but that is plenty good enough against the awful Giants defense.<\/p>\n

Ben Roethlisberger (14) \u2013 He has been average at best but gets a pretty bad Raiders team in what should be nice weather.<\/p>\n

Steven Jackson (21)- This is what you have saved him for, I would take a chance that he gets 15 touches and a TD.<\/p>\n

BenJarvus Green-Ellis (25) \u2013 He will get his carries and I can see at least 3-4 red zone carries in a close low scoring game.<\/p>\n

Roy Helu (30)- The Redskins should have to throw to stay in the game which mean more snaps than usually for Helu.<\/p>\n

Terrance Williams (20)- He has taken over as the WR2 for the Cowboys and with a shaky Lions secondary the passing game is overdue to break out.<\/p>\n

Michael Floyd (27)- He continues to get at least 6-8 targets a game but no touchdowns, that could change versus a bad Falcons defense.<\/p>\n

Rueben Randle (18)-He has passed Nicks and seems to be a favorite of Manning especially against an Eagles defense.<\/p>\n

Brandon Pettigrew (14)- In what should be a wide open game, he could sneak in a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Bench Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tom Brady\u00a0 (12) \u2013 \u00a0\u00a0Miami has a top pass defense and now gets a struggling QB who is he had a different name on his back would not be fantasy worthy.<\/p>\n

Andy Dalton (15) \u2013 He has had 2 great weeks but now gets the rising Jets, stay away.<\/p>\n

Mike James (21)- He is getting the Panthers in his 1st<\/sup> start, Martin had issues running and a lesser talent will have more.<\/p>\n

Chris Ivory (23)- He carried the workload but I expect some hangover this week on the road.<\/p>\n

Lamar Miller (24)- He has not carried the ball more than 12 times all year and Thomas keeps getting more snaps.<\/p>\n

Hakeem Nicks (23) He has a great matchup but looks hurt, slow or uninterested.<\/p>\n

Julian Edelman (24)- With Gronk back and the ghost of Amendola, this will limit his targets.<\/p>\n

Steve Johnson (26)- He continues to be nicked up and the Saints had a week off to prepare.<\/p>\n

Kyle Rudolph (12)- He has one good week but with Ponder back, there is no chance of another.<\/p>\n
