AFC South & Mad Men (I need YOU)

Cecil Shorts quietly turning heads

Wherever and however you are view this today thank you for making  the Gray Area Matters  part of your Sunday.  Let’s hit the AFC South quickly and then we will get to the new Mad Men team on yahoo sports.  From now on I will stream the AFC South’s top tier which basically includes Arian Foster, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson and my man crush Andrew Luck.  Ok the last part was a joke but man is he good. If I liken myself to Colin Cowherd than Luck is my Brady, those who watch or listen to The Herd know about Colin’s man crush.

Quick Outs Start/Sit:

1. Sit- Chris Johnson- if you can the Bears rank number 1 against the run. Only expect flex scoring of 7 points.
2. Start- Cecil Shorts- If he is on the wire, why don’t you have him? Mike Thomas is gone. Blackmon never showed up. And Robinson is coming back. All signs point to this guy getting the rock. Playing Detroit 7^th against the pass 16^th against the run but they haven’t looked as well as the ranks suggest.  
3. Sit-Brown/Ballard- A timeshare and Miami plays good defense ranked 2^nd against the run (Take that Hard Knocks hatters), but 25^th against the pass ( L ). Upside is on Ballard if you have to play one of them. 
4. Start-Rashad Jennings- Lions are 16^th against the run and Gabbert will dump the ball to Jennings on passing downs. Makes him a solid flex play this week.

Sees Endzone Ballard: (himself)" I'm going airborne"

On to team Mad Men, you can view my team from my boss page.

 I’ll note this week’s additions:

• Isaac Redman- Gets the start this week and I needed a #2 RB option.
• Cecil Shorts- Snagged this gem for the flex play shoring up the spot.
• Dwayne Allen- Vernon Davis  is on the bye and Coby Fleener will be out a few weeks. Allen was second to Wayne in targets last week and I like the match up against the Dolphins.
• Denver Defense- Playing the Bengals, I like the upside for the Broncos.
•  Justin Tucker Baltimore Kicker- At Cleveland and I am counting the Browns play hard making the Ravens kick field goals.

Can Redman snap the losing streak? (of Mad Men)

The team is 2-6, but the good news is four teams are 3-5 making a playoff spot possible. Also four other teams are 4-4 which means if Mad Men can get rolling we can climb quickly. I will leave you with this note on a possible trade I am proposing it will also be on the polls at PigSkin Boss.

• Percy Harvin for Fred Jackson and Eric Decker or Miles Austin

No AFC South Quick Outs

New backup Harper is the vulture for the Titans 

Wherever and however you are reading this thank you making this part of your Sunday People interested in my quick outs it will be postponed this week due to a new league I joined. I apologize this was just happened hours ago when I normally write the quick outs for AFC South. It will return next week. I will post the new team to so you can see the progress. The team is 2-5 and in last place. I am going to try and turn this disaster of a team around. I will be using PigSkinBoss advice to help. Keep you posted. I didn't want to leave you hanging entirely. Here are some quick thoughts for this week for plug and play.

Titans: Jamie Harper- vulture's td's if you need a flex, he could give you easy points.

Colts: Colby Fleener- Titans 31st rank pass defense.

Texans: We know who to play here.

Jaguars: Rashad Jennings- MJD Down, keep Jennings because this injury will linger.

More advice follow me @IntoTheGray and get to our poll section on PigSkinBoss. Good luck this week and thank you for making us part of your day!

AFC South Quick Outs Week 7

Peyton, who? JK

Wherever and however you are reading this on your football Sunday, thank you for making it part of your day. Great match ups this week for the AFC South Fantasy Locks going against teams with pitiful defenses. I am still high on Andrew Luck, and why not? Great match up, great mind and just a great guy think a man crush is coming out. Anyway we may see the reemergence of CJ2K in Buffalo according to @jwyattsports winds are high so the run game will be crucial. The California sun might be what MJD’s offense needs to find the end zone and remind us why he is considered a top ten fantasy running back.

For last minute line up questions visit PigSkinBoss.com or shot it to me on twitter @intothegray. Thank you for making this part of your day and good luck this week in fantasy!

3 Fantasy Locks:

Arian Foster- Always, Always a must start. Facing 28^th run defense Baltimore without Ray Lewis.

Reggie Wayne- Believe it folks this guy is a solid WR start him if you got him, facing Cleveland’s stellar 31^st Pass defense.  

Chris Johnson- Holy Shnikes! I put him here. Great match up this weekend against Buffalo with its terrifying 32^nd ranked run defense.  

No Locker, no probelm give KW the ball. 

3 Quick Gets for Bye-Weeks

Kendall Wright- Underrated and catching passes, he is facing the 23^rd ranked pass defense.

Andrew Luck- 31^st pass defense this week and he makes good decision’s roll with him id he is on the wire.

Coby Fleener- Mentioned 3 times now the Browns 31^st best pass defense him or Dwayne Allen could snag a TD pass.

3 Fantasy Mentions

Kenny Britt- Does not look like himself, but managed a TD catch and is a red zone target. Risk/Reward play- if you need a flex or WR2 roll with him with caution. Facing the Bills 23^rd ranked Pass Defense

Andre Johnson-  2 touchdowns in 6 games. Ouch! Only one +100 game week one, you still have to play him…? If you have a more consistent option move him to flex.  Facing 25^th ranked Pass Defense w/o Ray Lewis and top CB Lardarius Webb.

MJD= Not Done Yet (Somehow)

Maurice Jones-Drew- I love this guy, but he is a RB2 call it like it is. The Jaguars are a bad team with project QB. Playing on the Road in Oakland with the 11^th ranked run defense and 19^th Pass Defense. An OK match up on paper but a long trip…play him with RB2 expectations.

Quick Outs AFC South Week 6

Wherever and however you are reading this today thank you for making this part of your day. Football Sunday again and that means I have your AFC South quick outs. Reggie Wayne went off last week! I guess a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. I am pretty much over Kenny Britt as a WR1 or WR2 I suggest only using him as flex. New this week is the bye week spot starts where I try to find you a gem to fill in for the regular starters. Disclaimer only drop someone if you are willing to lose them to an opponent. If you drafted well it should be easy to drop one of your sleepers who didn't pan out i.e. Titus Young for me this year. Otherwise being willing to lose a player on the gamble.

The Man of Fantasy Running Backs for 2012

3 Fantasy Muffs

• Andre Johnson- Injury slowing him and a potent run game, might what to look else where.   
• Kenny Britt*- Had a TD but the guy has to start playing to his ability.
• Ben Tate- Only one good game so far, but if you have Foster you need him on the bench.

3 Fantasy Locks

Luck is a rising star. 

• Andrew Luck- This guy is for real. With bye weeks in play he is a great fill in or even a match up play.
• Arian Foster- unless he gets hurt he will never leave the Locks.
• Reggie Wayne- Luck’s guy and had 211yards last week.  

3 Fantasy Bye Week Spot Starts

• Kevin Walters- Tied Andre Johnson last week for targets could be a flex option in deep formats.  
• Matt Hasselbeck*- The 37-year-old played good on Thursday night.
• T.Y. Hilton- Proving to be a solid TE in FF

The Old Vet still has gas left in the tank. 

* Played Thursday

Garbage Time CJ64 or Big Time CJ2K

3 Fade Aways

• Kenny Britt- He is the Hakeem Nicks of the Titans. He gets hurt getting out of bed.
• CJ64 -Chris Johnson on two spots but is still in the doghouse until we see consistency.  
• Jake Locker- According to news here in Nashville it’s a good possibility the Titans will shut him down for the season.

AFC South Fantasy Quick Outs

Locker looks to carry over success. 

3 Fantasy Muffs

• Kenny Britt- Still a must start, was not able to get much against Jacksonville.

• Matt Schaub- So many weapons, all he needs to do is not turn the ball over

3 Fantasy Look-Out

• Ben Tate- Expect to see more action against a weak Titans defense.

MJD is still a top RB and not a Chris Johnson.

• Nate Washington- proving to be the top target for Locker.
•  Jake Locker- Offense ran through him and he proved he could handle the workload.  

3 Fade Aways

• Owen Daniels- Not putting up great numbers but not all is fault with a great run game.
•  CJ64 -Chris Johnson averaging a prolific 1.4ypc and a grand total of 45 yards.
• Jared Cook- Gets nicked up a little too much but has shown some big play potential.
