MOTW - Week 4

Apologies for not getting a MOTW in before the Thursday night game. I was swamped with work and didn't get a chance to write one before the game began.

The one good outcome is that the football gods have chosen the MOTW for this week by leaving me with only one matchup that was unaffected by the Thursday night game. So without further ado:

MOTW
4. Just Forsett In (Mike) vs. 7. Switch Hitters (David K.)
QB: All Matty Ice has to do is throw it to #11. Against a Texans D that could be the worst in the league if it wasn't for Watt at home in the dome, expect a 30+ point game for Ryan. Eli has to face a tough Rex Ryan defense in Buffalo. Edge: Mike
WR: Julio and AJ showed why they both deserved to be taken in the first round this season. The fact that they ended up on the same fantasy team is just ridiculous. On top of that, he has Crabtree, who faces a Chicago defense that may just be the worst in the league. David's WRs have some tough matchups this week. Sanders has to face an underrated Vikings secondary, Tate may be sacrificed to Sherman, and Landry could be shadowed by Revis. Edge: Mike
RB: Could this be the week Foster makes his comeback? And even if he does, is he good enough to turn around the tire fire that is the Texans offense? Abdullah will have a tough day against the Seattle front 7. Meanwhile, Forte faces an underwhelming Oakland defense, and Matt Jones looks to tighten his grip on the starting back job for the Redskins. Edge: David K.
TE: The two TEs face each other on Monday night and I have to give this one to Graham for a few reasons. First, talent. Second, defensive matchup. Edge: David K.
K/DEF: Crosby should put up a lot of points as Green Bay should score at will against the 49ers. But Carolina's defense could be in for a big day against TB and their low scoring, turnover prone ways. The edge will go to David because Kirk Cousins is no ace with the ball himself. Edge: David K.

Winner: Just Forsett In (Mike)
While he may lose more of the position battles, the ones he wins will have dominant margins of victories. Julio and AJ might be enough to take on 4-5 players on David's team.

Good luck to all!
