Week 8: Fantasy Football Buy or Sell

Week 7 brought surprises galore. The Raiders killed the Broncos, the Browns beat the Saints, and Tony Romo goes down with a devastating injury. Such is life in the ever-changing world of Fantasy Football. Here's how you might be able to help yourself this week.

Buy:

Chad Henne, QB Dolphins - Against a solid Steelers D he went 23-36, for 257 yards and 1 TD. Yes he does throw an interception each game, but in his last four games, his worst performance has been 231 yards with two games of over 300 yards and seven touchdowns over that span. Not bad if you need a quarterback for the 2nd half of the season.

LaGarrette Blount, RB Buccaneers - He is getting more and more carries and might be ready to take over for Carnell Williams as the lead back for the Buccaneers. Against the Rams, he got 11 carries for 72 yards, which averages to 6.5 yards per carry.

Kenny Britt, WR Titans - He is the engine that makes the Titans go. He was benched for the first quarter and a half of the game, yet absolutely exploded for seven catches, 225 yards and three touchdowns. He is coming into his own.

Jordan Shipley, WR Bengal's - A nice wideout to have in your stable. He had six catches for 131 yards and a touchdown on a day where Carson Palmer threw the ball 50 times for 412 yards. if the Bengal's keep throwing, he'll keep catching.

Aaron Hernandez, TE Patriots - He keeps getting more and more balls thrown his way. He's averaging 4.2 receptions and 64.0 receiving yards over his last four games, he hasn't reached the end zone yet, but he should against Minnesota.

Darren McFadden, RD Raiders - Fantasy owners have been waiting for years for McFadden to break out, well he did on Sunday. With 165 yds rushing and 31 receiving to go along with his four TD's, he a must start now.

Sell:

Brett Favre, QB Vikings - He doesn't appear to have much left at this point, and his surgically repaired ankle was hurt again. Don't count him totally out, but don't count on him either.

Jay Cutler, QB Bears - If you started Cutler, Ouch! He's not even a mixed bag, when he's bad he's awful.

Jerramy Stevens, TE Buccaneers - The Bus have cut Stevens following his drug arrest over the weekend.

Denver Broncos Defense - How many points did they just give up to the Raiders? Answer: 59.

Tony Romo, QB Cowboys - He was my Fantasy starting QB. He's out now, possibly for the entire season with a broken collarbone. Jon Kitna in at QB.
