NFC South Player Analysis Ben Ice, FantasySharks.com, Staff Writer Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs Denver Broncos) QB Brian Griese: Bronco's are 30th in the league against the pass but he'll need to watch the errant throws against an experienced secondary ( 275 yds pass with 2 TDs and 2 Ints ) RB Earnest Graham: Getting slightly more touches than Dunn in the running game but continues to show breakaway capabilities, especially in the fourth quarter ( 100 yds rush and 2 TDs ) RB Warrick Dunn: Decent flex option, but not great ( 50 yds rush; 3 catches for 25 yds and 1 TD ) WR Antonio Bryant: Leads the team in receptions, Griese will continue to throw deep to him ( 7 catches for 90 yds and 1 TD ) WR Michael Clayton: Like Bryant, starting to emerge in the passing game ( 3 catches for 50 yds ) WR Ike Hilliard: Last week was a downer but should bounce back for decent WR3 numbers ( 5 catches for 45 yds ) TE Alex Smith: Gilmore and Stevens depressing his value ( 3 catches for 40 yds ) TE Jerramy Stevens: Gruden likes him in the red zone but doesn't get enough looks to warrant more than a spot start and a prayer ( 2 catches for 25 yds and 1 TD ) PK Matt Bryant: Played on pure guts last week, hug your kids when you think of this warrior and what his family is going through ( 4 XPs, 1 FG ) Def Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Defense playing well but continues to give up big plays in the passing game ( 2 sacks, 1 INT, 2 Fumbles ) New Orleans Saints (vs Minnesota Vikings) QB Drew Brees: NFL Passing leader feasts on Vikings woeful secondary ( 350 yds pass with 3 TDs ) RB Reggie Bush: Rushing yards might be tough, but Vikings won't be able to contain him in space ( 45 yds rush; 8 catches for 90 yds and 1 TD ) RB Deuce McAllister: Tough matchup for Deuce this week ( 40 yds rush; 1 catch for 5 yds ) WR Lance Moore: Looks like Brees' favorite new possession target, at least until Colston returns ( 6 catches for 75 yds and 1 TD ) WR Robert Meachem: Should stretch the field and give Brees plenty of options ( 3 catches for 65 yds and 1 TD ) WR Devery Henderson: 1 catch, 81 yards last week - feast or famine, but should be feast again ( 2 catches for 75 yds ) TE Billy Miller: Getting just enough looks to make him a spot start if needed ( 3 catches for 35 yds ) PK Martin Gramatica: Will get plenty of chances this week, but scary if you are penalized for misses ( 3 XPs, 3 FGs and 2 missed FGs ) Def New Orleans Saints: Good luck stopping the run, but Jackson's return to the huddle will help the D ( 2 sacks, 2 INTs, 1 Fumble ) Atlanta Falcons (vs Green Bay Packers) QB Matt Ryan: Even beat up, the Packer secondary will eat his lunch ( 175 yds pass with 1 TD and 2 Ints ) RB Michael Turner: Pack has allowed 100 yard rusher in 3 of their first 4 games. Make it 4 of 5 ( 100 yds rush and 1 TD ) RB Jerious Norwood: Decent flex play against a banged up D, 3 carries last week but still netted 51 yards. Will need to get him out in space since passing options will be limited ( 65 yds rush; 3 catches for 30 yds and 1 TD ) WR Roddy White: Ryan will be tested, will cost White some value ( 6 catches for 60 yds ) WR Michael Jenkins: Not much value here ( 2 catches for 25 yds ) WR Harry Douglas: A placeholder until Robinson returns ( 2 catches for 20 yds ) TE Ben Hartsock: TE in a power running offense = no value ( 1 catch for 10 yds ) PK Jason Elam: Decent option this week ( 2 XPs, 2 FGs ) Def Atlanta Falcons: Much will depend who starts for GB. Expect the Falcons to blitz whoever is in, to either knock Rogers out or introduce Matt Flynn to an NFC South defense ( 4 sacks, 1 INT, 1 Fumble ) Carolina Panthers (vs Kansas City Chiefs) QB Jake Delhomme: Don't be fooled by Chiefs passing rank. The first three QB's faced were Matt Cassel, Tyler Thigpen and Matt Ryan. Cutler got 361, Delhomme will be a solid play against an inexperienced secondary ( 275 yds pass with 3 TDs and 1 Int ) RB Jonathan Stewart: could break the century mark this game against KC's weak front seven ( 65 yds rush and 1 TD ) RB DeAngelo Williams: Still around enough to depress JStew's value ( 50 yds rush; 1 catch for 10 yds ) WR Steve Smith: Chiefs won't have an answer for him ( 7 catches for 100 yds and 1 TD ) WR Muhsin Muhammad: Smith's return means single coverage...and Moose will still have some chemistry with Delhomme ( 8 catches for 90 yds and 1 TD ) WR D.J. Hackett: Nothing but a bit player in this offense now ( 3 catches for 25 yds ) TE Dante Rosario: Should get into the end zone this week ( 3 catches for 30 yds and 1 TD ) PK John Kasay: Reliable kicker for any team ( 4 XPs, 1 FG ) Def Carolina Panthers: Solid DST start this week. Huard will struggle on the road, defense will bring the heat ( 4 sacks, 2 INTs, 1 Fumble )
