Fantasy Football: Week 5 Preview

Originally published at The Definitive Dmbosstone. Please leave any comments there.

Fantasy Football isn’t the only game I play during football season.

I also take part in a Pick’em pool with some 50+ people. Every week we all make picks and the winner every week gets some cash as well as the top three at the end of the season. Last year I won a week but so far I’m doing terrible at 30th place.

Let’s take a look at my picks for Week 5:

Bears vs. Lions: Lions

Falcons vs. Packers: Packers

Chargers vs. Dolphins:Chargers

Seahawks vs. Giants: Giants

Redskins vs. Eagles: Eagles

Chiefs vs. Panthers: Panthers

Titans vs. Ravens: Titans

Colts vs. Texans: Colts

Buccaneers vs. Broncos: Buccaneers

Bills vs. Cardinals: Cardinals

Patriots vs. 49ers: Patriots

Bengals vs. Cowboys: Cowboys

Steelers vs. Jaguars: Jaguars

Vikings vs. Saints: Saints

Now on to the games!

TMG Sportsline League (3-1)

Pho Sho vs. Hawaiian Shirt Misfits

This is the first week I’m plugging in Matt Forte- he’s been playing well and has a great matchup this week. I’m very nervous about my receivers. I made some great pickups off the wire- taking a chance on Roy Williams and Bobby Engram.

Yahoo! League (3-0)

Pho Shizzle vs. SoniSamurai Spartans

I feel ok with this matchup but not very confident, once again plugging in Williams and also taking a chance on Mewelde Moore since Thomas Jones is on bye. I have no RB depth on this team.

Diet Yahoo! League (4-0)

Donte’s$37 Milion vs. Why Get Married?

I have yet to plug in a kicker for the week but I am pretty much chalking up a loss this week. The other team is just stacked and I’m playing Philip Rivers at QB. Maybe he’ll score me a few TDs. I’m psyched however to get Wes Welker off the wire during his bye week. Thanks to bye weeks I’m also plugging in unknown TE Visanthe Shiancoe.

It might be a shaky week for me in Fantasy Football but I’ll be rooting for something bigger- my Patriots!
