Weel 1 (Raj vs. Lance)
Raj’s Rockets vs. Pop King’s Doc
QB – Romo and Cutler (Raj) vs. Garrard and Tebow (Lance)
Let the lost season for Lance begin. We all know the mythical qualities that Lance possesses in fantasy but this year is going to be his biggest challenge to date. For week 1 Lance has no starting QBs. At least there might be a package or 2 that Denver will run for Tebow. Always look on the bright side of life (whistle…). Raj got some bad news yesterday with Manning but at least in the short term he should be alright. I rode Cutler to a championship last year, perhaps Raj can do the same this season. Cutler is rated higher than Romo this week for me. I am not impressed with the Atlanta defense. I think Chicago will fall behind early against the new greatest show on turf, forcing them to throw the ball. Romo should face a whole lot of pressure from the Jets D. I see it as about 9 points for Romo and 14 for Cutler. Raj 23 – Lance 2
RB – Blount, Wells, Garcon (wr flex) (Raj) vs. F. Jones, AP, Gore (Lance)
If Lance is going to win week one, the RB position is where he will get it done. Raj has some terrible players and match-ups. Blount is going to be shut down by the Lions (similar to the way every girl at the club shuts down Raj on Friday nights… it’s a sad sight to see). Garcon lost his QB and will stink. Wells is not very good, but he does get the Panthers for week 1. Cardinals should be up big giving extra chances to Wells, which means more opportunity to show off his suckiness and fubleitis. Frank Gore may single-handedly outscore Raj’s RBs. The Seattle defense has a lot to prove and they won’t do it in week one. Felix Jones is also a guy with a lot to prove. He has looked great in the pre-season but don’t buy the hype just yet. AP is great. I don’t think it will matter that the Vikings will be behind the whole game. AP will still get his.
WR – Austin, Harvin, Maclin (Raj) vs. Holmes, Britt, Simpson (Lance)
Austin did not fully practice on Friday making him a question mark for Sunday. To make things worse he would be matched up against Revis as well. Harvin should have a nice game. If the Vikings are going to have any chance Harvin will need to make a handful of big plays. Perhaps a reverse or wildcat play. Maclin is a wildcard for me. Reports are that he is healthy and ready to play, but he has only had 3 weeks of pre-season to get ready. Lance also has some questions here. Holmes has been sick this week but could have a huge game against a crappy Cowboys secondary. Simpson (yeah I actually looked him up and did a little research) had two huge games at the end of the season but with a rookie QB and a sneaky good Cleveland defense I don’t see a big game here. I expect the Titans to run the ball a lot but Britt should be able to capture a couple of big plays from play action in week 1 against a horrible Jaguars team. Raj 32 – Lance 41
Other – Whitten (Raj) vs. Clark (Lance)
I am taking Whitten here although I am getting the feeling that Clark may prove something to us here. Collins is going to have to throw the ball against the Texans. If Collins is going to have any success it will be throwing to Clark. Raj 30 – Lance 27
Raj 101 – Lance 125
