Week 8 Pump and Dump

Pump:

Clinton Portis: For the love of all that is holy put Clinton Portis in your lineup this week. The NFL's leading rusher is heading into Detroit to take on the terrible Lions run defense. He should pretty much make them wish they never got out of bed. 

Forecast: 22 carries, 130 yards, 3 receptions, 25 yards, 2 TD

Steve Slaton: Slaton will have a strong weekend running against a pitiful bengals defense. The Bengals have been able to put up points recently so Slaton should get some action in the passing game as well since the Texans will need to put up some points. 

Forecast: 15 carries, 75 yards, 4 receptions, 30 yards, 1 TD

Josh Morgan: Morgan has taken over for Bryant Johnson as a starter for SF. He made some great plays in the pre-season, and last week had 5 receptions for 86 yards and a score. I would expect similar numbers this week from the physical rookie. 

Forecast: 4 receptions, 65 yards, 1 TD

Greg Camarillo: I would give the lanky Dolphins possession receiver a shot this weekend as a WR3. The stout buffalo defense should hold the wildcat in check and keep the fins passing game busy. 

Forecast: 5 receptions, 70 yards, 0 TD

Dump: 

Peyton Manning: Manning goes up against the brutal TEN defense on sunday. If you have a another strong option on your bench consider giving them the start over manning this weekend. 

Forecast: 18/27, 220 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Brandon Jacobs: I have become more of a Jacobs fan as this season has progressed and he has shown consistent toughness and running skills. This week his bruising style will meet up with an equally powerful force in the Steelers defense. Dont expect anything big out of BJ as he runs up against the steel curtain all day long. 

Forecast: 17 carries, 70 yards, 1 reception, 5 yards, 0 TDs

Terrell Owens: Even on the off chance Romo starts this week I would still bench Owens. The cowboys travel to Tampa Bay and will face off against the league's stingiest defense in terms of points allowed. They are going to eat Brad Johnson alive. 

Forecast: 2 catches, 25 yards, 0 TDs

Darren Mcfadden: His turf toe is cropping up again and he is facing Ray Lewis this weekend. I wouldn't even start Run DMC as a flex this week. 

Forecast: 7 carries, 22 yards, 0 TDs


More to come......
