Just Thinkin' About Tomorrow

Week 8 NFL/fantasy storylines I'll be following tomorrow.

Shootout in Detroit
This isn't a news item, there actually could be some points on the board in Detroit tomorrow when the Rams come to town.  I'm specifically looking at how good the Lions offense can be if Stafford and Johnson return.

Fourth and Forte
It's put up or shut up time for Matt Forte against Cleveland this week.  If he doesn't get off here, he's bench material for the rest of the season.  Bad playoff sked too.

Buffalo 66
As in that's how many yards TO has this year?  Seriously, the Bills have some intriguing fantasy guys still in the mix.  Houston's defense is bad.  We should find out about Lee Evans, TO and Lynch here.

Seattle slump
The Seawhawks come off a bye week and an embarrasing home destruction at the hands of the Cards.  Does this offense have anything left?  I like them tomorrow, but I'm nervous about this one.

Mining for gold
Speaking of teams with some fantasy intrigue.  How are the 49ers going to play with Alex Smith at the helm?  What does this change do for Gore, Davis and Crabree.  Indy is a tough test.

Favre bowl
Must see TV in Green Bay tomorrow.

Remember this Titan?
Vince Young sees his first meaningful action in over a year Sunday when he starts against the Jags.  I actually think he may play well.  Use those legs Vince.

Running rooks
Rookie backs Beanie Wells, LeSean McCoy, Knowshon Moreno and Shonn Greene all have great opportunities tomorrow.  All but Greene are going to be started in most leagues.

Sunday hunch early tomorrow.  I'll probably be up by 7 AM with the time change.  Hate that Sunday morning wait.

Cheers,
TFAM
