Week 9 Pump and Dump

PUMP:

Aaron Rodgers: If you don't pay attention to matchups this might seem like an obvious call. However Rodgers is facing the ferocious TEN defense this week. Although it may seem tempting to bench him, I would keep him in your lineups. Although last week was really the only time TEN has given up TDs through the air - there is now a blueprint for GB to use. It also helps that GB is coming off a bye which has hopefully helped Rodgers heal a bit.

Forecast: 25 of 35, 250 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT

Jerricho Cottchery: Here is my vote for playing the "who gets to abuse Terrence Mcgee" game. Cottchery draws him in coverage this weekend. Mcgee is still injured and will not be able to cover him. It does not matter that Favre will throw some bad balls, because all you need out of Cottchery is one good bomb reception.

Forecast: 7 receptions, 100 yards, 1 TD

Michael Turner: If you have had Turner riding your bench the past couple weeks I don't blame you, but its time to roll out the Burner this weekend. He is facing a suspect OAK defense and he has absolutely dominted the weak defenses he has come up against this season. After the inevitably impressive performance this weekend he should get a bump in trade value (something to keep in mind if you are trying to move him).

Forecast: 20 carries, 110 yards, 1 TD

Trent Edwards: Edwards should be Trentlicious going up against a bad Jets secondary. Last week they were torched by Tyler Thigpen, and there is no doubt that Edwards is a significantly better QB. Play Edwards as a QB1 this weekend with confidence.

Forecast: 20 of 30, 280 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs

DUMP:

Ryan Grant: Ryan Grant hasn't looked very good this season. He has been hesitant and has not hit the holes with authority. TEN will make sure that his season remains miserable this weekend. Although there isnt really any good point to attack the Titans defense through, the straight ahead ground game of Grant is probably the worst.

Forecast: 15 carries, 50 yards, 1 rec., 5 yards, 0 TDs

Jospeh Addai: Hamstring issues, general offensive synergy issues, Rhodes stealing carries.....there are a lot of reasons to sit Addai this weekend. Take your pick.

Forecast: 12 carries, 45 yards, 0 TDs

Dwayne Bowe: This is a scarily bad matchup for Bowe. The TB defense has made a mockery of some pretty decent QB's this year, and Tyler Thigpen is a joke. Because the TB corners play 'over' coverage most of the time, Bowe will have some short receptions. I expect his overall day to be pretty anemic however.

Forecast: 4 receptions, 35 yards, 0 TDs

Tony Scheffler: Scheffler's status is still up in the air for sunday. Don't wait around for his 4:15 start, as I expect that even if he does play he will be a bit limited by his groin injury.

Forecast: 3 receptions, 40 yards, 0 TDs
