Hello from the galley, it's the Captain back with your weekly fantasy football column.
If you heeded my selections for week 7 you were handsomely rewarded. The only call I got wrong was sitting Ricky Williams vs New Orleans. I didn't like the match up on paper, I thought Ronnie Brown would be the beneficiary of the extra work. I'll take a 6 for 7 on picks any time though.
Onto this weeks festivities.
Week 7 Starts
RB RYAN GRANT - GB - The grudge match at Lambeau should be a great game, both offenses are potent and the Ryan Grant play intrigues me. It always seems that good players rise to the occasion, and I believe that Grant is a very good player. He traditionally steps up for the MIN v. GB game, but this years addition of Mr. Indecisive to the purple and gold makes this a MUST WIN game for GB. Grant steps up extra big this week and delivers.
WR PERCY HARVIN - MIN - So for the same reason that GB wants to win, so does MIN. These guys DO NOT want to get punked in the biggest grudge match in the NFL this year. Harvin is developing into a deep threat for Favre and with bodies swarming around, I would think there is going to be an instance or two of broken coverage, (GB DB's would love a shot at FAVRE as well). Benard Berrian is dinged a bit, so look for Harvin to step up.
TE OWEN DANIELS - HOU - Owens is good. I'm going to rant on the TE position in my random thoughts section, for now just know this, Owens is one of the most targeted TEs in the red zone and he plays on a team whose QB leads the league in yds and TDs. He is a MUST START every week from here on out.
BONUS PICK

BONUS PICK
RB SHONN GREENE - NYJ - With Leon Washington out with an injury, Shonn needs to be on your bench for depth later in the season. He had a great game in Washington's absence last week. Keep this in mind, playoffs start in 7 weeks, now is the time to add depth and trim fat on your roster. Only keep 1 QB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF from here on out. Not only are you adding to your depth, you aren't letting others in the league pick up cheap points against you, think about it...
WEEK 7 SITS
WR REGGIE WAYNE - IND - Yup, that's not a misprint. I see IND going up big this weekend, and their coaching staff is smart, so why would they risk making an existing injury worse by playing Wayne?. I don't think they will. I'm not saying he won't produce something, I just see other doing a better job.
RB REGGIE BUSH - NO - Last weeks scoring and production was an enigma. Don't be fooled into thinking he is viable this week or really any week going forward. New Orleans has too many other weapons to count on inconsistency from Bush.
RB JULIUS JONES - SEA - SEA's offensive line is in shambles right now. Walter Jones is in a decline and fellow running back Justin Fosset in the wings stealing work, he is unstartable. I don't think the revenge factor is on his mind going against big D this week. Big D stands for BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for Jones owners this week (year).
Captain Rants for the week......
* Obscure-ish TEs are having a huge year this year. If you drafted WITTEN, GONZALES, or GATES early this year you should be kicking yourself in the ass. Last week there were 3 TEs in the top 15 receiving for the weeks -- not 1 of them were named Witten, Gonzales, or Gates. If you were patient enough to get Dallas Clark, Owen Daniels, Vernon Davis, or even Kellen Winslow, you picked smartly. You need to get production in the beginning rounds. The big names have burned you thus far.
* SIDNEY RICE - if you followed my advice a few weeks back and picked him up, you can send me thank you note. 11 receptions last week 100+ yds and he would've had more yards and a TD if the ref didn't blow that tripping call.
* MATT FORTE OWNERS - put the razor blade down and step away... oh wait CHI has ARI, SF, PHI, MIN, GB, BAL, MIN left on the schedule.....on second thought, just end it now....your season is done due to a wasted top 5 pick.
Lastly, I have been informed that I have won the PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST. My entry will be ready soon. It's gonna be a doozie.
Good luck in your leagues this week!
