UAL Week 5 Fantasy Football Preview

Week 5 is upon us.  The bye weeks have begun and roster depth now becomes a major issue for many UAL managers.

**GAME OF THE WEEK**

Nevermore (OPR 6) vs Drinking a Forte (OPR 8)

Yahoo Projected: Nevermore: 108 vs Drinking a Forte: 113

In a week where the UAL seems to lack any real compelling matchups Nevermore versus Drinking a Forte becomes the Keystone Light **GAME OF THE WEEK**.

This matchup will come down to Monday Night and will be determined by how fast Brett Favre gels with Randy Moss.  Will the Favre naked pics drama hurt Randy’s numbers?  My guess is Favre sounded like such a bitch on those voice mails he is going to be real fired up and throw two TDs to Moss and Drinking a Forte will take down Nevermore and their great backfield.

Cleveland Steamers (OPR 2) vs The Bedwetters (OPR 7)

Yahoo Projected: Cleveland Steamers: 122 vs Bedwetters: 108

The Steamers made a trade with The Bedwetters this week and if for some reason Andre Johnson sits out again it might be one of The Bedwetters’ old players, Dez Bryant, that tries to take them down.  The Steamers are without Tom Brady this week and are starting Mark Sanchez, who looks to break The Steamers 2 game losing streak.  However, I feel due to both Andre Johnson’s bad ankle and Jahvid Best’s turf toe, both of these players are highly over projected.  Look for Percy Harvin to now put up better numbers with Moss in the lineup and Palmer should have a decent day in Tampa.  The Bedwetter’s pull of the upset here in a close one.

Breaston Plants (OPR 1) vs Weiner (OPR 12)

Yahoo Projected: Weiner 115 vs Breaston Plants: 118

The Breaston Plants are now at the top of the UAL and look to hold off last place Weiner.  The Breaston Plants have some injury concerns this week but they should still get the job done nonetheless.

Gentle Turtles (OPR 4) vs Bear Jews (OPR 10)

Yahoo Projected: Gentle Turtles: 116 vs Bear Jews 101

Kevin Kolb looks to be getting the start for the Gentle Turtles this week over Josh Freeman.  The Bear Jews look to ride their super star auto-drafted (and best draft pick), Hakeen Nicks this week.  The Bear Jews’ Fred Jackson should benefit nicely with Lynch now in Seattle.  However, the McFadden injury is costly this week, as Steven Jackson will carry the Gentle Turtles to victory this as he looks to put up big points versus the Lions.

Ricky’s Blunt Force (OPR 5) vs Clever Team Name (OPR 11)

Yahoo Projected: RBF: 120 vs CTN: 116

CTN’s power ranking is 11, however their average rank was 9.8 as the rankings are just really close amongst the 8 to 11 squads. This looks to be the highest scoring game of the week and if CTN wasn’t 1-3 would have been the game of the week.  This game will come down to whether or not crappy QBs (Kolb and Max Hall) can get their star WRs (DJax and Fitz) the rock.  CTN wishes his super talented WR’s could just pass themselves the ball.  RBF will ride Arian Foster into the ground this week as you can expect Foster to make this weeks All-Fantasy Week 5 team. 

  

The Slowskies (OPR 3) vs Karma Wheel (OPR 9)

Yahoo Projected: Slowskies: 103 vs Karma Wheel: 84

The projected points for this match is absolutely pathetic.  Will Karma Wheel put in a defense or will he just get cocky and take down The Slowskies with the bye week Hawks?  Karma Wheel continues to feel the effects of the Brandon Jackson deal, as his gamble doesn’t seem to be paying off.  I like the pickup of David Gettis this week for the Slowskies, and they should win this week in ugly fashion despite being majorly distracted due to popping the big question.  Congrats Wild Slowskies!!!

That’s it for Week 5,
