Under the Radar Starters Week 5 (1 Viewer)

[underdogger]

Last week was my worst in terms of success for picks. A few hits, some near misses, and some real bad calls. But I am back for revenge.

Tashard Choice- Gets to face the lowly KC Chiefs. I expect a decent game from him and is a good flex play. Projections: 70 rush yds

Sean Ryan- I am not sure many people have noticed but this guy has posted 2 decent/good games in a row in PPR leagues. He officially broke out last week with a 5 catch 58 yds and 1 TD performance. Still a low end option at TE but he seems to be Cassel's favorite target. This team will throw early and often. Projection: 4 rec 44 yds

Brandon Pettigrew- One of DET's top picks in this past draft. I am hesitant to recommend him as Culpep should be the QB. But when Pep was in he was looking towards Pettigrew's way. DET has finally started to get this guy involved in the passing game. Again, another low end option at TE but an option for teams with a need at this spot. Projection: 4 rec 50 yds

Mike Wallace- I like his chances vs DET's weak secondary. I expected more from him last week but this week he should not disappoint. Projection: 5 rec 50 yds

Sidney Rice-Not sure how under the radar this guy is but he is slowly becoming Favre's favorite target. He has posted 2 real good games in a row with a TD. I would start him with confidence as a WR3. Very Favorable matchup vs STL. Projection: 5 rec 60 yds

Michael Bush- With no McFad for a couple weeks, he will carry the full load. Not a very favorable matchup vs NYG but I would give him a look at a flex. Projection: 60 rush yds and 3 rec 25 yds

Kevin Walter- I expect a shootout vs ARI. I would start all players you own from both teams. But be cautious with Beanie. Projection: 5 rec 55 yds

Donald Brown- He has become very reliable the last few weeks. In a PPR leagues, he has been good for around 10 pts the past 3 weeks. Projections: 60 rush yds and couple catches

Davone Bess- This should be a very good MNF game. Dont let the records fool you. Henne looked decent in his 1st start. The pass game will slowly gain momentum. Projection: 5 rec 45 yds

Jake Delhomme- I have really nothing to the base this off of but I am expecting a real good game from Jake. CAR has 3 favorable games coming up. It should get this team back on track. Delhomme will show CAR that he can still play. Projection: 250 yds 2 TD

Mike Furrey- With no Edwards, he will see more targets. He is a possession WR so dont expect a giant line from him. Projection: 5 rec 55 yds

Miles Austin if Williams is hampered in any way.

Not sure how I missed the obvious one: Rashard Mendenhall, I fully expect this guy to carry the full load in the coming weeks. Parker's mileage is catching up to him and he just looks like a good 3rd down back. Faces DET too=gold. Forte was finally able to go last week and it came at the hands of the Lions. Projection: 80 rush yds

Just when you thought the Oakland offense couldn't get any more pathetic, along comes Justin Fargas to prove you wrong.Sadly (and inexplicably), he'll get as many carries as Bush and maybe more.

bump mendenhall up your rankings as willie missed practice again and looks doubtful

derek anderson: faces a weak buf def. made henne look good in his first start. projection:220 pass yds a 1 td

jerome harrison: looks like no jamal lewis again. ppr leagues know wat to expect. 60 rush yds and couple catches

keep an eye on: maroney, yes i have been screwed by him in the past but deep leagues should take a flier if u have an open spot.
