Fantasy Football: Make VY Your Guy
By Chris Hanson December 8, 2006

In Week 13, all three running backs got over 90 yards rushing apiece and all three quarterbacks (Jason Campbell/WAS, J.P. Losman/BUF(2) and Jay Cutler/DEN(2) threw for touchdowns while receivers Alge Crumpler/ATL and Antonio Bryant/SF reached the endzone. Kicker Jeff Wilkins/STL also had a nice week with two fields and two extra points for eight total points.

We’ll continue to pass on the obvious picks and help teams make the tough choices for their weekly starters. Here’s this week’s “Picks to Click”...

Running backs

• Frank Gore/SF – Gore has developed into one of the best backs in the league this season with the Niners. He combines physical with fast and that should be a deadly combination at home against the Packers young defense.

• DeAngelo Williams/CAR – Williams looked good on Monday Night and he’s become the workhorse for Carolina. We like him to have another good game this Sunday against the shaky Giants defense at home in Charlotte.

• Kevin Jones/DET – Mr. Jones has been a pretty steady fantasy back since coming into the league three years ago out of Virginia Tech. We like him to get plenty of touches, yardage and points this week against the Vikings at home.

Quarterbacks

• Vince Young/TEN – This will be a homecoming of sorts for Vince back in Houston with a lot of friends and family on hand, we look for Vince to have a great game in front of owner Bud Adams against the hated Texans who passed on him in the 2006 NFL Draft.

• Tony Romo/DAL – Romomania has already swept Dallas. If you need to upgrade at quarterback, we’re recommending you start Romo this week against the Saints. This shootout between Brees and Romo could go over 80 points.

• Carson Palmer/CIN – Palmer is beginning to look like the same quarterback he was last year before the knee injury and with the weapons he has in Cincinnati, he should light up the Raiders this week at home.

Receivers

• Deion Branch/SEA – Branch has done a nice job of fitting into Holmgren’s West Coast Offense since joining the Seahawks and we think he’s due a big game and we’re predicting him to break loose this week against the Cardinals weak D.

• Donte Stallworth/PHI – Stallworth had a great game on Monday Night in the Eagles big win over the Panthers. We like his chances to stay hot this week against the Redskins weak pass defense.

• Michael Jenkins/ATL – Jenkins has finally arrived in his third year out of Ohio State and we think he and Michael Vick will have a good day against the battered Tampa Bay secondary.

Kicker

• Rob Bironas/TEN – You have to like Bironas and what he’s done for his team the last two weeks. He doesn’t get a ton of opportunities, but he’s proven he has one of the deadliest legs in the league. We think he’ll keep it going in Houston.
