Time for the Vicks NyQuil Fantasy Football Sleeper Of The Week.

Good luck to everyone playing in their fantasy championship game this week.  I am going to give you one player to play this week and one player to sit for this one crucial game.

The Rams defense is not one of the best in football, they’re banged up along the defensive line, and they are going to have trouble stopping the Steelers running game especially when they give it to Mendenhall.

Now, also in this game is a player to sit.  I know that Steven Jackson has the great name and a great reputation and he is one of my favorite players in the league, and he is certainly a workhorse for the St. Louis Rams.

He is going to be going against one of the toughest run defenses in all of football in their building and this game could get out of hand early.  A couple turnovers on special teams an interception by Sam Bradford or whoever is playing quarterback for the Rams it’s not going to be pretty.  Therefore, I think the running game for the Rams, while they will want to focus on that, is going to struggle in this game..

As I said, good luck in your championship games this weekend. May the best man win.

And now it’s time for the Vicks NyQuil Fantasy Football Sleeper of the Week.  And I am going out to Green Bay, where the Chicago Bears invade Lambeau Field.

I love RB Khalil Bell. And the reason I love Bell is that he played a little bit better than Marion Barber did last week, and they don’t have a quarterback who is ready for prime time.  For the Bears to win this football game they have to keep it simple, control the football and run the football.  It seems as though the Bears’ coaches have gained a lot of confidence in this young man.

And that’s the Vicks NyQuil Fantasy Football Sleeper Of The Week. Vicks – because in the NFL, there are no sick days.
