We will then dive into Week 5's predictions and select a few people that will shine and some that will dive. But before any of that, here are the TOP TEN PLAYS from the month of September!
Now for the Quarterly Awards thus far for the NFL Fantasy season:
MVP: Peyton Manning (DEN)
The stats say it all...

RT to congratulate Peyton Manning on winning his @NFL record 7th Off. Player of the Month: http://t.co/ckyAS3HLMB. pic.twitter.com/ePxLpUNqRdThe Underdog (Sleeper) : Jordan Cameron
— Denver Broncos (@DenverBroncos) October 3, 2013
It is the Year of the Tight End and Cameron is someone that was not in discussion in the preseason when it came to Top TE's for the year, but his stats are eye-opening: 33 catches, 396 yards, 5 TD's.
Mr. Consistent : Jimmy Graham (NO)
Yet another TE to make the list. Graham has had at least one TD and had over 100 yards receiving in each of the first 4 games this year. 27 catches, 458 yards, 6 TD's
Mr. Unreliable : Ray Rice (BAL)
For a player that was projected in the Top 5 for ESPN Fantasy Drafts, this fella has not produce at all. Especially for being the "King" of PPR. 30 carries, 89 yards, 1 TD (Through 4 games)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 5 predictions:
Star of the Week: Peyton Manning (DEN)
Going up against a Dallas pass defense that has allowed 400+ yards in 2/4 games this year, Peyton is going to have a hay-day in Dallas
Prediction: 35-48, 385 yards, 4 TD's
Sleeper of the Week: Isaiah Pead (STL)
With Daryl Richardson benched in St. Louis and matching up against a poor Jacksonville team in general, Pead has to make a name for himself while he has a chance.
Prediction: 15 carries, 80 yards, 1 TD
Bust of the Week: Roddy White (ATL)
White was up for the Mr. Unreliable award, and it was very close only bringing in 6 ESPN Fantasy Points through the first 4 games. Don't expect that the change even against the Jets. Ryan has his targets and at this point in the season, White isn't one of his favorites.
Prediction: 3 catches, 30 yards
Bold Prediction:
This will be the week that David Wilson (NYG) breaks out. Over 100 yards rushing with 2 total TD's.

I completely agree with your MVP and underdog! Jordan Cameron was snoozing on draft day and has been a sleeper ever since. Aside from this Thursday night's performance, he has been steadily producing big numbers. Another candidate could be Bilal Powell or Fred Jackson. If Fred was the number one back, who knows what type of numbers he'd put up? Both RBs (at least in the league I'm in) are putting up consistent points.
ReplyDeleteDepending on the league, you could argue that Jamaal Charles or Matt Forte is pretty darn consistent. However, I think your selection is accurate as well. Jimmy Graham could be MVP as well, he's been playing that well.
As for Mr. Unreliable, I have CJ Spiller and Maurice Jones-Drew up there as well. CJ was one of the premiere running backs, right up there with the likes of Rice. The biggest difference, when RIce isn't healthy, he doesn't play. When Spiller isn't healthy, he doesn't play well, which almost makes it worse for fantasy owners... MJD should be the highlight of the Jags offense, but the highlight of their offense is ANY First Down. They need to sign Tebow honestly and revive that team...
