Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesWith the playoffs quickly approaching, we take a look at the fantasy football landscape after a high-scoring Week Nine.Week Nine Fantasy MVPIt’s a close call this week, but let’s give a shout out to Terrell Owens. The ageless wonder torched the Steelers for Reebok Pittsburgh Steelers #86 Hines Ward Realtree camo Jersey
141 yards and two touchdowns on 10 catches. He’s been quiet off the field, but has developed quite a chemistry with Carson Palmer on it. While the Bengals are struggling, it’s certainly not Owens’ fault.Week Nine Fantasy LVPAfter bursting on to the scene last week, LeGarrette Blount crashed back down to Earth with a 46-yard performance that featured Cadillac Williams drawing the start.While that stat line isn’t horrible, he was as disappointing as any player in fantasy this week.Lineup FunYou probably won if your lineup looked like this:QB Aaron Rodgers = 289 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, 41 rushing yardsRB Peyton Hillis = 184 rushing yards, 36 receiving yards, two touchdownsRB Arian Foster = 127 rushing yards, 70 receiving yards, two touchdownsRB Michael Turner = 107 rushing yards, two touchdownsWR Terrell Owens = 10 catches, 141 yards, two touchdownsWR Seyi Ajirotutu = four catches, 111 yards, two touchdownsWR Jacoby Ford = six catches, 148 yards, KO return TDTE Jacob Tamme = 11 catches, 108 yards, one touchdownYou probably lost if your lineup looked like this…QB Chad Henne = 231 passing yards, three interceptionsRB Jonathan Stewart =30rushing yards, one lost fumbleRB Marion Barber =14 rushing yardsRB Ryan Mathews = 42 rushing yards, 18 receiving yardsWR Pierre Garcon = two catches, 15 receiving yardsWR Calvin Johnson = one catch, 13 receiving yardsWR Chad Ochocinco = one catch, 15 receiving yardsTE Ben Watson = one catch, 24 receivingyardsGut ChecksI’d be worried if…I own Jonathan Stewart in a dynasty league. You can give him a pass for one or two weeks, but this has been ugly, regardless of Reebok Pittsburgh Steelers James Harrison Realtree camo Jersey
injury.I’m relying on Miles Austin for the fantasy playoffs. His production was bound to take a hit with Tony Romo out, but this looks worse than expected.I’m expecting too much from LeGarrette Blount. While his future may be bright, it looks like Tampa is still easing him into the offense.I have Chad Ochocinco as my No. 2 wide receiver. He’s not even start-worthy as a flex player at this point.I expect Matt Forte to break out of his funk. It certainly looks like Marshall Faulk may be the only back to truly dominate in a Mike Martz offense long term.I’m not looking at Steve Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick as legitimate starting options.I expect anything out of Darrius Heyward-Bey. Ever.I think Ray Rice is going to still end as a top five back as long as Willis McGahee is healthy and on the Ravens roster this season.I was hoping Jon Kitna could be a viable option. It’s a train wreck.I have Steve Smith (CAR) as one of my starters. His talent is undeniable, but so is the trouble in Carolina.I own Matthew Stafford in a dynasty league. Look, he can play. There’s no doubt about it. There’s also no doubting his tendency to get injured.A Look Back at Our DynastyWaiver Suggestions for WeekNine1. Troy Smith QB SF = DNP2. Kevin Smith RB DET = 10 rushing yards, 27 receiving yards3. Rex Grossman QB WAS = DNP4. Toby Gerhart RB MIN = six rushing yards, three receiving yards5. Jordy Nelson WR GB = four catches, 42 yardsA Look Ahead to Hot Names Reebok San Francisco 49ers #21 Frank GORE Realtree camo Jersey
On The Week Ten Waiver Wire1. Drew Stanton, QB, DETThis is likely Drew’s last chance to stick with the Lions if Shaun Hill can’t make it back.2. Mike Goodson, RB, CARWith all the injuries the Panthers are sustaining at running back, Goodson is going to get some extended playing time here in the next few weeks.3. Donte Stallworth, WR, BALIt’s true the Ravens are loaded at wideout, but Stallworth’s speed could add a different dimension and earn him some time here shortly.4. Danny Ware, RB, NYGYou have to wonder what would happen if Bradshaw were to get worn down or injured. As it stands, the Giants may get some things wrapped up early and Ware could be a playoff asset down the road.5. Tony Pike, QB, CARMatt Moore is out for the year and Jimmy Clausen simply doesn’t look ready. Could the Panthers throw Pike into the fire?6. Jacoby Ford, WR, OAKWe mentioned Ford as a super sleeper way back in July and he showed off his potential with a 148-yard performance last week. While that will likely be his best game of the year, it’s hard to say what will shake out with the Oakland receivers the rest of the year. If anything, he’s earned a good look from the coaches.7. Javarris James, RB, INDWho knows what happens when the other Colt running backs get healthy, but anyone lining behind Manning is worth a roster spot, even if it’s just temporary.Keep in mind the names found on this list are added to ones Reebok Washington Redskins #98 ORAKPO Realtree camo Jersey
