Let's see what I can do in ten minutes...
Concannon v DFlam
A massive start for DFlam as Roddy White continued his touchdown scoring form and tallied 25 points to take the lead. Austin meets Mike Williams on Saturday night to notch more early points.
Sunday sees the key showdowns as all remaining players are projected to take the field. Lacking a MNF preview here but the SNF game will see Mathews go against no one (Baltimore) so it could come down to the surging Charger. Obviously, the spotlight here will be on the QBs as old-school Concannon's drop-back guys in Brees and Eli will take on iPad DFlam's run-and-gun, baby boys Tebow and Newton.
However, the real battles should be decided out wide, making the White start massive. Neither team boasts much RB talent so the pass-catchers should project as point scorers. Hernandez v Finley is a big one at TE, Finley looking to get on track with Jennings out. Big names Fitz, Green, and Nelson look to post big games for Concannon.
Who is the key man? Well, it is two, and those men are Grant and Colston. Each possesses the dreaded 'cushion' effect, Colston to catch balls from Brees and Grant to poach scores for Concannon's two Packers. Big games from either should seal this for DFlam.
Projection: Ha.
Curran v Lee
This one could stack up nicely on MNF as Gore is the runner for Curran against an empty Lee set. Lee should get a big edge at QB as Palmer projects poorly for Curran. To be honest, it is going to be tough sledding for Curran minus a big game from the Patriots.
Luckily, Denver looks soft against the pass so it could be a big night in store for him. In that case, the key men for Lee would be Blount, who could have no carries if Tampa falls behind, and Lynch, a star performer of late who faces a Chicago defense that will quite interested in watching Tavaris throw.
Still, complex analysis goes out the door here- it is Brady or bust, as has been all year, and with it the end of Lee.
Projection: ...not jinxing the Pats, either. Sorry.
