3 People You Need To Pick Up Right Now: Fantasy Football

by atgators on Dec 1, 2011 8:17 PM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars Fantasy Football

Pick Up Now

1. Jason Avant - Jason saw a good amount of targets (14) Sunday against the New England Patriots and had a great game with 110 receiving yards and one touchdown. Avant was Philadelphia's top receiver, but it took 48 Vince Young pass attempts for him to get those numbers. Avant could be worth a look in some deep leagues due to the uncertainty at receiver in Philadelphia. Jeremy Maclin (shoulder/hamstring) remains banged up and DeSean Jackson was benched late Sunday for performance reasons.

Consider The Following

1. Ben Obomanu - Surprising right? At various points this year, while Sidney Rice and Mike Williams were out with injuries he did some things, but hasn't done a whole lot on the season as a whole (28 receptions, 295 yards). He should see more targets now, though. Still has tough competition against Doug Baldwin, the number one WR on the Seahawks.

2. Brent Celek - Celek caught five passes for 75 yards (six targets) against New England on Sunday. Celek continues to play exceptional well and puts up solid point week after week. He has 309 yards and two touchdowns on 33 catches in his last six games.

Hey

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don;t say it at all. Instead of just name-calling, why don’t you offer counter-points?

So just to clarify...

Two receivers playing against an almost historically bad NE pass defense and a WR catching passes from Tarvaris Jackson…

Thanks for the laugh.

0 fer 3

Jason Avant – 1-10-0 Missed
On a side-note I picked up Riley Cooper, you know, the guy that VY has been flipping it to the most 5-94-0.

Ben Obamanu – 2-28-0 Missed

Brent Celek – 3-21-0 Missed

I know, I know, hindsight and all…. I tell you what, lets pick some sleepers for the sunday night game and see who performs.

Riley Cooper > Jason Avant

That was a pretty easy call IMO. I played him last night and was very happy with his 9.4 points in a 14 team, 3 wr league.

You have to watch the games.....

I don’t watch as much as I’d like and my recall isn’t that good, but I did see VY looking to Riley Cooper a lot in the game against the NJG (not a mis-type). Follow the bread-crumbs, two guys who practice together all the time, on the field together with something to prove….. Who else is he going to throw to?
