Transcript: Week 7 Rebounds

The Five Minute Drill Episode “Week 7 rebounds” Cecil Lammey: As the fantasy football season rolls on it becomes harder and harder to find value via the waiver wire or trades. Sigmund Bloom: That's why this week we are running down players and teams poised for a rebound. Male announcer: Its time for fantasy footballs five minute drill. Quarter backed by Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom. Cecil Lammey: Santana Moss took himself out of the lineup, you should think twice before you take him out of yours. He was dropping passes all day, he was slipping on his routes, and he had a tipped pass that was turned into an interception. He fumbled on a reverse that turned into a defense of touchdown. It was a horrible day for Santana, but he is just too talented repeat this kind of game, embarrassment is a great motivator, and expect him to bounce back this week. Sigmund Bloom: Gus Farah's five interceptions were ugly for St. Louis, but six wasn't even uglier number. They were down to their six string wide receiver, Marcus Hagans against Baltimore. Now Mark Bulgers is coming back, the wide receivers are going to get healthy, but that is not the best reason to invest in the St. Louis passing offense. If you look down the rest of their schedule, they get cupcakes like Cleveland, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Atlanta and oh yeah NFC West mates. So if you can get Mark Bulger or Tory Holt make a move this week. Cecil Lammey: Shaun Alexander meets the wall. This guy is truly looking very bad, unable to get 3 yards per carry in the last two games. And he couldn't run against the Saints, everybody runs against the Saints. Now Leonard Weaver came in and looks more explosive, and was also in on key situations in the fourth quarter. At this point buying low on Shaun Alexander might be overpaying. Sigmund Bloom: The Chicago Bears need to find Cedric Benson and sighing whoever it was wearing number 32 for them last week. That running back ran with urgency in won collisions against Minnesota, the toughest run defense in the league. Now that running back is going to have many chances for touchdowns with a revived passing game, Devon Hester, and of course the great defense. So if you can get number 32 for the Bears, do it. Cecil Lammey: Carson Palmer is primed for a better second half. Let's face it other than the Cleveland game he has been kind of ahh. He has been under a lot of pressure and forcing his throws, but the upcoming schedule features teams that are soft on QB pressure and they face the Browns in week 16. Can you say championship? Sigmund Bloom: Tavares Jackson had one of the best nine for 23 days you'll ever see. Clearly there is nothing wrong with his timing; he hit wide receivers perfectly in stride on force lance that they dropped. Now he is also going deep setting up with the play action because everybody is obsessed with Adrian Peterson. Tavares Jackson might arrive on the fantasy scene sooner than you think. Cecil Lammey: The Tampa bay Buccaneers finally have a decent running back. With Cadillac Williams injury, Michael Pittman's injury, now they have gone out and traded for Michael Bennett from the Kansas City Chiefs. This guy is a slasher, and the Bucks already have a solid veteran quarterback who doesn't make mistakes. They have a great group of wide receivers, and they have a very solid defense. Bennett could rush for almost 1000 yards in the final eight games. Sigmund Bloom: Don't be full by the pedestrian numbers. Matt Schaub is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The first two games were blowouts; they had it up on blocks by the end of the third quarter. The last four there was no Andre Johnson. He is going to be one of the best ten quarterbacks in the league down the stretch. He is doing it all by himself with guts and creativity so now is the time to make a move for Schaub. Cecil Lammey: The Pittsburgh offense is a sleeping giant Big Ben Rothesburger is set to put the fantasy world on fire. Their upcoming schedule features teams that are weak against the pass, including Cincinnati twice. We feel you can go out and get anybody in this passing game, Big Ben, Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward, whoever. Sigmund Bloom: We recommend going after three a league wide receivers this week on the trade market, Marvin Harrison, Antoine Boldin, and Jevon Walker are all among the best in the game. But because they have been missing time due to injury their owners may have forgotten really how good they are. So throw out those offers. Cecil Lammey: There is another threat to Jamaal Lewis’s planning time. Now last week we told you that Jason Wright was the pickup, and he did have a solid fantasy day. But he takes a ton of punishment on almost every carry. This could open the door for Jerome Harrison, the fastest back on the Browns roster who showed a nasty stiff arm twice for a first down against the Dolphins. We think that Harrison can play a bigger role before the season is over. Now for the teams that are going to bounce back Bloom if you are the Dolphins and you are thinking about the draft who do they take? Sigmund Bloom: They have got to go with Jake Long, the best defensive tackle in next year's class. But Cecil St. Louis has not won yet who should they go for? Cecil Lammey: It is another defensive tackle for the Rams, this time he is good. It is Glenn Dorsey. Sigmund Bloom: Buy your bagels baby. Cecil Lammey: Thanks for watching The Five Minute Drill.
