Fantasy Football Week 8: Knowshon Moreno is AFC West Sleeper of the Week

PrintThe Raiders are on bye, but fantasy football chugs along. So, since I can't talk about sleepers for the Raiders game I decided to pick my sleeper pick for the conference. And if you read the headline you know it is Knowshon Moreno of the Broncos.
I am not a Moreno fan at all. However, he could have a solid week this week despite himself. With Willis McGahee nursing a broken hand Moreno will be the primary ball carrier for the Broncos as they take on the Lions.
This is going to result in all the touches Moreno can handle. The Broncos aren't going to open up the playbook and have Tim Tebow throw 40 times. They are going to keep things on the ground.
This is the best way to attack the Lions anyway. The Lions are 28th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game. Opponents are getting 5.0 yards per carry against the Lions.
This bodes well for Moreno. He has been injured and slow to get started this season, and he has lost his starting job to McGahee, but he looked strong last week in his seven carries for 28 yards.
I expect him to go over 100 yards in this game, and if Tim Tebow decides to complete a pass before the three minute mark in the fourth, he might even get a touchdown or two.

Against Such An Enemic "O" I Expect Those "Big Cats" To Stack The Box And Dare Tebow To Throw!!!
In which case they will be lucky to get their running game on tack…On their board they post to close in at the ends keeping Tebow and the runners inside the pocket so their "DT"s can do their damage…Tebow looks to take a beating in this one as well as their "RB"s…
Looks Like I Called This One Right...1st Half 5/15yds....
Tebow Mania LoL…He’s so dangerous!!!
4/15yds on the ground running for his life!!!
LoL!!...Tebow Is Now 3/13 Passing -n- His Team Has 3 Total Yds 13:26 Into 3rd Quarter...
Damn!!…It’s going to be so much fun playing against those damn dumb "MuleHead"s!!!
Tebow-Tebow-Tebow-Tebow…..The Secret Weapon
Not I...I'm Stoked -n- Laughin My ASS Off...-7yds Passing In The 3rd...How Can That Be???
I just hope they stick with him instead of going back to Orton…
And they go to Oakland next week.
How much do you guys see us scoring?

Tebow The Savior!!!...Pick-6 -n- Fumble-6....Almost Made A 50% Passer In Garbage Time!!!
10/63yds on the ground and that’s really all he’s got…Never should have been a “QB”….
News Flash 10/30/11
Today Tim Tebow realized he no longer plays for the florida gators. Last week seemed to have confused him about whether or not he was playing an SEC game against the SUC Miami Dolphins. Ha ha ha, people were cheering his ass last week and I was like, seriously?
Against Miami was like battle of the “sucks” somebody had to win. LOL 45-10 welcome to the NFL BUST TEBOW HA HA HA oh yeah and Rich, you picked Moron-o as a sleeper? 1 rec 5 yrds, 14 rush 69yrds…..that’ll teach ya to pick donkey to do anything besides suck
Statistically that's not bad ...
Dunno how fantasy football works cause I’ve never done it, but 69 yds on 14 carries ain’t bad … that’s almost 5 ypc. Can’t say Moreno scares me much this week though … I’m guessing we can get away w/stacking the box pretty safely, and w/our two new run-stuffers Curry and Ndukwe, our D will keep KM from doing anything remotely resembling ‘damage’.
So … any guesses on what the line will be on Jeebus interceding on behalf of His Chosen One and leading him safely and victoriously through the Valley Of The Shadow unto the Promised Land?
I’m guessing that the odds-makers (being the agents of Satan that they are) will go with the ‘Valley of the Shadow’ by 4 or 5 points … or do they not put out a line when Tebow is playing, on account of gambling being ‘against his faith’ and whatnot?

OK...That Was Fun....Now For "KC" To Knock Down "SD" Monday Night!!!
Boring Bye week but this made it interesting and fun!!
I don't know I think I'd rather be trailing SD than in a 3way tie for 1st
the tie would certainly make things tighter the rest of the season, but personally i’d rather worry about 1 team than 2. Who knows KC might have woken up mid season. If they do beat SD and tie up the conference -den, I’d have to hope SD got progressively worse. I think they have the weakest schedule in the conference

No..."SD" Has It Tougher Than Us To Close Out The Season...
Than “KC” has a gulling 6 game period with us at the end…
11 Nov 21 KC @ NE
12 Nov 27 PIT @ KC
13 Dec 04 KC @ CHI
14 Dec 11 KC @ NYJ
15 Dec 18 GB @ KC
16 Dec 24 OAK @ KC
Yeah, especially that last game ...
When all the crucifixes in the city of KC start spontaneously dripping blood at around noon on December 24 … they’ll know what’s about to happen …

remember all that bs hype about Dumervil and Von MIller????
where were they today? combined for 5 tackles and 1 assist
I totally went and looked if he was posting on mile high today
no where to be seen. I think he might have decided to start watching Canadian League Football or something

This:
haha rich eisen
just said Tebow time had no chance of getting started and that it looked like someone threw bambi in the lions den. That they needed a tranquilizer to save bambi
Sleeper Pick
The sleeper pick in this post was Moreno who ran for 69 yards, I hope nobody put him on their fantasy team!
Bring on Tebow, but remember he ran for a long TD against the Raiders last year. Of course, the D line for the Raiders looks better this year and Tebow won’t beat the Raiders with his arm.
This Is The Lions Mimicing Tebow After Being Tackled By Praying....So Funny!!!
ThankYou Lord For Helping Me Take Him Down!!!!
I think it's called...
Tebowing! Kinda like owling and planking or whatever! Stupid shit teens come up with!
HaHa!
I was getting on every Bronco fan I seen today! I was telling them before the game that beating the Fins in OT isn’t that good and that the Lions were going to crush Tebow’s hopes! Sure enough! I was also letting them know if that is what they wanted to see when they were cheering Tebow in the stands in Denver! That’s crazy PantyRaider I was just about to post that pic!!! Super weird!
They Got There Stats In Gabarge Time Against 2nd Sting "D" This Week...

HAAHAHAH!
fucking Donkeys and donkey fans are idiots! How can they think that tebow was going to be better for their team in the orton! Fucking idiots!
I kinda 'get' where they're coming from ... sometimes as fans you just reach a point ...
where SOMETHING, ANYTHING different seems as though it HAS to be better than what you got going on. Like last Sunday at the O … where all of Nation (that were in their right mind) knew deep-down that Palmer was unlikely to fare any better than Boller when he’d only been w/the team for 5 days … but we still wanted SOMETHING to fucking change.
It’s nice that their desperate and delusional thinking should directly benefit the Raiders though,eh?

Let The Smack Down Begin!!!
Lions played “M-M” coverage and than crowded the box against the “Donkey” to shut them down…They said Tebow can’t read a “D” and has no ability to his his targets so they didn’t worry about giving up the big play…Only the run was a legitimate threat…
They never made good stats until garbage time against the back-ups…Otherwise they totally sucked…Now I just hope the idiots in “MuleHigh” stick with the bum so we can have fun too…Ortin would be a legitimate threat to spoil are party…
Right after we actually win a game after the bye week ... any given Sunday ... this thread begins to make me nervous
Let The Smack Down Begin!!!
S-O-B: ITS HOW I ROLL, DEAL WITH IT.

Broncos havent been the same since we smashed them last year
and just so you know, it will take another 8-9 years to recover, we know all about that
Tuck Rule my ass!
I expect to see a lot of Aaron Curry vs the Broncos.
Denver is going to run the ball a lot. Aaron Curry should be on the field a lot this game. This will be his 3rd Raiders game with 4 full weeks to soak everything up. Let’s see what Curry has to offer for us in the long term. Big match up vs. Moreno and Tebow when he scrambles. So far Hue Jackson has kept it simple, putting Curry in on mostly running downs and in situations for him to succeed.
Time to release the beast Curry!
