FANTASY BOYZ WEEK 4 TOP STARTS/SITS

FANTASY BOYZ WEEK 4 WAIVER PICKUPS.......

While you may think that your waiver wire is picked clean of any possible talent we here at Fantasy Boyz sports think you should take another glance for Christ's sake.  After some breakout performances in week 3 from some little known players you may have some roster decisions to make......

Running Backs:

Alfonso Smith - With Beanie Wells nursing a bum shoulder Smith carried the load with 17 carries for 54 yards.  While that doesn't blow anyone away running backs are hard to find.

Worth a look in larger leagues (Especially for Wells owners)

Demarco Murray - Sure Felix Jones finally busted out Monday and Murray was again a non factor but maybe you went beddy bye before noticing Felix again banged up his shoulder.  If he is unable to go this week look for Murray's carries to be in the double digits.

Worth a look in larger leagues (Especially for Jones owners)

Hunter could get more carries behind the brittle Gore as the season wears on

Kendall Hunter - With Frank Gore playing on a creaky ankle Murray was able to hit pay-dirt for the first time in his young career.  Word out of San Fran is that Hunter's role could increase as the year moves along.  He could be a sleeper pickup that pays big dividends later this season

Worth a look in larger leagues (Especially for Gore owners)

Wide Receivers:

Torrey Smith - With 5 grabs for 152 yards and 3 TDs Smith has burst onto the fantasy scene.  He appears to possibly be the deep threat the Ravens thought they had acquired in Lee Evans.  It is hard to say how this will all play out as Evans should be back in the lineup sooner than later.  Suffice it to say however that Smith is going to be flying off the free agency shelves this week.

Should be owned in larger leagues

Smith shown pulling in one of his 3 TDs Sunday

Victor Cruz - Another young receiver that had their first big game of their career this preseason wonder of years past finally did it in a regular season game.  The fantasy prospective for Cruz however isn't quite as sunny as Smith's.  Manningham should be back this week and Cruz's targets will taper off dramatically.

Keep an eye on in larger leagues

FANTASY BOYZ ANSWER READER QUESTIONS.....

Questions fielded by Fantasy Boyz Collaborator PORKNUCKLES....

So lately reader questions have been coming in hot and heavy so we thought we would take the time to answer a few of the better ones.

The first question was given to us by Roscoe in New Jersey

Q: Who's the Cowboy WR that's gonna step up on Monday Night? Ogletree or Holley?

A: If you are debating between these back up Dallas WRs I hope for your
sake this is a 14 team league.  Holley looks to be the hot hand...RIDE
IT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next  group of question is from Psubills62 in Indiana
Q:  I'm struggling for consistent RB and WR production. I need a RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR out of these guys:

RB
Frank Gore @ Cincy
Shonn Greene @ Oakland
Tim Hightower @ Dallas
Darren Sproles vs. Houston
Reggie Bush @ Cleveland

WR
Desean Jackson vs. NYG
Brandon Marshall @ Cleveland
Mike Sims-Walker vs. Baltimore
Denarious Moore vs. NYJ

A: Gore- Hightower-Djax-Marshall and slot Greene in the flex.  I still
think Greene can have a solid season

Q: Haha sorry for all the questions. I also have the following QB situation:

 Mike Vick vs. NYG
 Ben Roethlisberger @ Indy
 Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. NE

A: FITZY.  Steelers will probably get up early and run, where as Bills
will probably be down early and have to throw against a questionable
Pats D

Q:  Lastly I've got Mike Wallace and Desean Jackson as my starting receivers for now.
 If Jackson isn't able to go, who would you start out of these:

 Mario Manningham @ Philly (assuming he's healthy)
 Lance Moore vs. Houston
 Eric Decker @ Tennessee

A: I like Manningham if he plays, but Decker is next on my list.  Don;t
get too cute, at this point in the season you still have to go with
the proven players
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next questions are from Mike in Boston
Q1: Is Fred Davis a legit starting option?

Q2: Fitzy or Big Ben

Q3: WR3: Denarius Moore, Malcolm Floyd, Crabtree or Doucet?

A1: Fred Davis is here to stay.  In the past every time he filled in for
an injured Cooley he came thru and I am surprised its taken him this
long to become the man

A2: Fitzy.  Steelers will probably get up early and run, where as Bills
will probably be down early and have to throw against a questionable
Pats D

A3:Floyd- Everyone scores on KC and my ex GF so prepared to get lucky!

FANTASY BOYZ TOP 260 HOCKEY RANKINGS......

 Below is a comprehensive list of the top 260 NHL players in the Fantasy Hockey World.  The list is brought to us by our very own Fantasy Boyz hockey writer and collaborator Bill Choinski.  Feel free to use this list to get the upper hand in your league.

Overall Rank	Position Rank	PLAYER	POS	TEAM	Comments
1	1	Alexander Ovechkin	LW	Washington	Best player available- Off year last year, he can lead the league in Goals, PPP, Shots
2	1	Steven Stamkos	C	Tampa Bay	Could have 60 goals if he stays hot. Will crack 50
3	1	Corey Perry	RW	Anaheim	Will cool off a little bit from last year-….. just  a little bit…..wont lead the NHL in scoring
4	2	Daniel Sedin	LW	Vancouver	This is the Sedin who can score goals-led the NHL in points scored last year with 104
5	3	Bobby Ryan	LW	Anaheim	Off year in 2011, what makes him great is some leagues list him at all 3 forward positions. Could hit 40 goals
6	2	Henrik Sedin	C	Vancouver	The Sedin with all the assists. Won scoring title 2 years ago
7	2*	Ryan Kesler	C	Vancouver	I ranked him tied with Henrick. He will come close with points, and makes up the difference with winning a ton of faceoffs as well as SHP's
8	3	Evgeni Malkin	C	Pittsburgh	Has tendancy to take the night off- Pens need him bad with Sid the Kid out for a few more months
9	4	Nicklas Backstrom	C	Washington	A point per game player- Ovie's set up guy and assist leader
10	4	Martin St. Louis	LW	Tampa Bay	A playmaker on a team loaded with scoring potential. Stamkos' set up guy
11	1	Ryan Miller	G	Buffalo	Owner sunk a lot of money in surrounding his best player with a top Defense
12	5	Ryan Getzlaf	C	Anaheim	Perry's right hand man
13	2	Tim Thomas	G	Boston	Vezina Trophy winner- can he repeat?
14	3	Roberto Luongo	G	Vancouver	Schwab gives Vancouver a reason to rest Luongo 25 games this year and try to keep him fresh for the playoffs
15	4	Henrik Lundqvist	G	N.Y. Rangers	11 shutouts last year
16	6	Pavel Datsyuk	C	Detroit	Most talented Euro next to Ovie
17	7	Sidney Crosby	C	Pittsburgh	The next Super Mario is one Donkey Kong punch from being the next Lindross. Potentially out until Thanksgiving hurts draft position
18	5	Rick Nash	LW	Columbus	Finally has a center in Jeff Carter that will allow him to flourish
19	2	Jarome Iginla	RW	Calgary	On the decline- trade rumors?
20	3	Patrick Kane	RW	Chicago	If only they had a fantasy category for punching out jerk cabbies- Maybe bring Carcillo on the next ride
21	8	Joe Thornton	C	San Jose	Coming off a really bad year. Should be a point per game player
22	9	Jonathan Toews	C	Chicago	Was only center to win over 900 faceoffs last year. Point per game player
23	4	Jeff Skinner	RW	Carolina	Hot new rookie last year - should be a decent power forward option.
24	10	Anze Kopitar	C	Los Angeles	Could be a top 5 center if all the pieces come together. Had A 35 Point October 2 seasons ago
25	11	Henrik Zetterberg	C	Detroit	Always solid
26	5	Dany Heatley	RW	Minnesota	Moves to a team where he will be the main weapon- could see a jump in PP points
27	6	Zach Parise	LW	New Jersey	Hurt all last year- but can score 35 -40 goals and have an equal amount of assists. Contract year
28	5	Carey Price	G	Montreal	Will get a motherload of starts- can the Habs defense hold up?
29	1	Zdeno Chara	D	Boston	Top rated D player who doesn't dominate one particular category. Decent offense, PIMs, and he hits people. Plus/Minus is outstanding
30	6	Alexander Semin	RW	Washington	Cleans up with Backstrom and Ovechkin - gets plenty of shots on goal.
31	7	Milan Lucic	LW	Boston	One of the ultimate stat stuffers- can score, led all LW with hits, and gets well over 100 PIMs
32	6	Antti Niemi	G	San Jose	Heatly trade brought in Brent Burns- should help Niemi avoid last year's slow start
33	8	Ryane Clowe	LW	San Jose	Another Stat stuffer
34	7	Ilya Bryzgalov	G	Philadelphia	Next goaltending savior in Philly. Flyers rolled the dice big time with this guy clearing Richards and Carter out to make cap room
35	9	Ilya Kovalchuk	LW	New Jersey	Can challenge for the scoring title every year, but has a horrific +/-  that drags his value down l
36	2	Keith Yandle	D	Phoenix	If only this guy had offense in front of him. His numbers would be huge
37	12	Mike Richards	C	Los Angeles	LA got themselves a bonified 2nd center. Could vault LA into a final 4 team out of the west. SHP's are his specialty
38	3	Mike Green	D	Washington	Once a Norris contender, needs a bounce back year. Should rack up the assists on the PP
39	13	Eric Staal	C	Carolina	Best of the 23 Staal brothers in the NHL.
40	8	Tomas Vokoun	G	Washington	What a steal for the Caps. Finally playing on a decent team after exile in Miami, he might just be a top 3 goalie in the win category
41	10	Patrick Marleau	LW	San Jose	Getting rid of Healey gives this guy more opportunities- also plays C
42	4	Nicklas Lidstrom	D	Detroit	At this point, I think he's just a robot. Still amazing after 19 seasons. His career is older than the internet
43	14	Marian Hossa	RW	Chicago	Injuries might make his draft ranking slide- prime for the picking. He also nets the occasional shortie. Hawks need him to produce
44	9	Vincent Lecavalier	C	Tampa Bay	A 9 million dollar 2nd line center. Will go higher than he should based on name recognition alone
45	10	Marc-Andre Fleury	G	Pittsburgh	His stats got better the longer Crosby stayed out
46	5	Pekka Rinne	G	Nashville	Stud
47	7	Thomas Vanek	LW	Buffalo	Which guy do you get each night? He can pull a hat trick or a dissapearing act any given week
48	11	Chris Stewart	RW	St. Louis	Power forward picked up where he left off after the trade from Colorado
49	6	Jeff Carter	C	Columbus	Will flourish with Nash on his wing
50	8	John Tavares	C	N.Y. Islanders	Good, but not great
51	15	Brad Richards	C	N.Y. Rangers	He will pile up assists with sniper Gaborik on his wing
52	11	Christian Ehrhoff	D	Buffalo	Let's see if he lives up tto the big contract. Will QB the Buffalo PP unit
53	12	Martin Havlat	RW	San Jose	Finally surrounded by better talent
54	12	Corey Crawford	G	Chicago	Middle of the road goalie benefitted from a strong defense. Good 2nd stringer for your team
55	9	Dan Boyle	D	San Jose	Will put up top offensive numbersespecially on the PP
56	16	Lubomir Visnovsky	D	Anaheim	Top scoring D-man last year. Will cool off quite a bit but still a top guy
57	17	Drew Doughty	D	Los Angeles	Off year last year- ranked way too low- will bounce back strong
58	18	Duncan Keith	D	Chicago	Like the entire Blackhawk team, had an off year after an awesome Cup season
59	7	Jamie Benn	LW	Dallas	Rising star on the Stars
60	13	Scott Hartnell	LW	Philadelphia	Hits/scores/ fights. What's not to like? Oh yeah, he's on one of the most hated teams in the NHL
61	10	Marian Gaborik	RW	N.Y. Rangers	Brad Richards could make Gabby a 50 goal scorer. Great value here
62	14	Jaroslav Halak	G	St. Louis	This mule will carry a big load- hope he doesn't wear out by February
63	12	Dustin Byfuglien	D	Winnipeg	Had over 300 shots on goal- converted speedy winger
64	13	Dion Phaneuf	D	Toronto	Overrated
65	15	Miikka Kiprusoff	G	Calgary	Plays a ton and his game hurts from all the workload
66	19	Danny Briere	C	Philadelphia	Needs to mentor the youth movement in Philly
67	14	Tobias Enstrom	D	Winnipeg	If the Jets had better scoring up front, would post really good offensive numbers. Solid
68	15	Shea Weber	D	Nashville	Once was the top scoring defenseman in the NHL. Maybe some value here if your team lacks scoring
69	11	Teemu Selanne	RW	Anaheim	Good for 70 points this year- IF he decides not to retire.
70	12	Alex Burrows	RW	Vancouver	He scores, he hits, he fights, he hates referees. Love it
71	16	Alex Goligoski	D	Dallas	Let's see how he does without Crosby and Malkin to feed the puck to. Will be the Star's top blue liner
72	13	Steve Downie	RW	Tampa Bay	Put up pretty good offensive numbers abd 170 PIMs in only 50 games last year. A stat stuffer
73	14	Loui Eriksson	RW	Dallas	No Richards- can he keep pace?
74	15	Phil Kessel	RW	Toronto	If Toronto has a prayer of playoffs- Kessel needs to dominate. I don't think it will happen
75	20	David Backes	C	St. Louis	Poser boy for Stat Stuffers. Had a horrible start to the season last year.
76	21	Derek Roy	C	Buffalo	35 points in 35 games before hit by the injury bug. Look for 70 points this year
77	22	Mikko Koivu	C	Minnesota	Heatley trade increases his value
78	16	Cam Ward	G	Carolina	70 games started - will go months without a rest.
79	23	Patrick Sharp	C	Chicago	A point a game player with 250 faceoffs won anf 250 shots on goal.
80	17	Chris Pronger	D	Philadelphia	Bryzgalof adds a plus 15 to his plus/minus. No more Philly soft goals
81	18	Tyler Myers	D	Buffalo	Erhoff will erode some of his fantasy value -
82	19	Mark Streit	D	N.Y. Islanders	Missed a year- will help youth movement on the Island with blue line offense
83	20	Kevin Shattenkirk	D	St. Louis	Hot rookie pickup last year. Part of the Stewart trade. Will pop in some goals and lots of assists
84	14	Brandon Dubinsky	LW	N.Y. Rangers	Tough guy who can pop in the critical goal
85	15	James van Riemsdyk	LW	Philadelphia	Is this the breakout year? It better be after the Flyers let Richards and Carter go
86	17	Jonas Hiller	G	Anaheim	When healthy- he can post great numbers. Has some veteran backup help
87	16	Johan Franzen	RW	Detroit	If the rest of the Wings stay healthy- he could be a 30/30 guy
88	17	Nathan Horton	RW	Boston	Could be so much better if he applied himself
89	24	David Krejci	C	Boston	Replaced Savard as Boston's #1 center- good for 50 assists
90	18	Martin Brodeur	G	New Jersey	Does he have anything left in the tank? Returning injured players and a hot finish last year could make Jersey dangerous again
91	25	Claude Giroux	C	Philadelphia	Breakout season last year. Will have more opportunities without Richard/Carter
92	26	Matt Duchene	C	Colorado	Hopefully Colorado stops making stupid trades and dealing his best linemates away
93	16	Mike Cammalleri	LW	Montreal	Meh……. Can score in big games
94	17	Alex Tanguay	LW	Calgary	On the downside
95	27	Logan Couture	C	San Jose	Top rookie last year -looking for more
96	18	Taylor Hall	LW	Edmonton	On the upside. Talented top pick on a roster loaded with young prospects
97	18	Shane Doan	RW	Phoenix	Old and crusty. Lots of hits
98	19	Steve Mason	G	Columbus	Superior rookie season seems like a distant memory, faded the past 2 years.
99	19	Dustin Brown	RW	Los Angeles	Had 300 hits and 230 shots on goal. Will be close to a 30/30 guy as well
100	20	Ryan Callahan	RW	N.Y. Rangers	Shoud be a solid 30/30 guy who gets a lot of hits
101	21	Michael Grabner	RW	N.Y. Islanders	One dimensional- can score in buckets - sophmore slump coming?
102	21	Mark Giordano	D	Calgary	New top D guy in Calgary
103	22	Alexander Edler	D	Vancouver	Playing with Kesler and the Sedins- will have a lot of points
104	23	Brent Seabrook	D	Chicago	I have had him on my teams forever. My fantasy good luck charm.
105	24	James Wisniewski	D	Columbus	Will make Carter and Nash better
106	22	Jaromir Jagr	RW	Philadelphia	Big mystery. I don't have high hopes for him. Let the suckers fall for the name recognition at the draft
107	25	Ryan Suter	D	Nashville	Fantastic D man
108	20	Dwayne Roloson	G	Tampa Bay	Benefits from a strong team in front-this over 40 year old Goalie is the Tim Wakefield of the NHL. Productive at his age
109	26	Brent Burns	D	San Jose	Big Trade involving Heatley will make this guy a HH name- In Canada anyway
110	27	John-Michael Liles	D	Toronto	Rode hard and put away wet- don’t expect much
111	28	Alex Pietrangelo	D	St. Louis	Blossoming D-man made Jack Johnson expendable - great value here
112	19	Patrik Elias	LW	New Jersey	A tough guy to call. Depending on linemates, he could produce a point a game or be a non-factor
113	29	Andy McDonald	LW	St. Louis	Versitile, plays Center, had a very good but injury hampered year last year.
114	30	Tomas Plekanec	C	Montreal	Lots of assists
115	20	Paul Stastny	C	Colorado	60 assist potential of he stays on the ice
116	21	Chris Kunitz	LW	Pittsburgh	Dissapeared when he hit the Pens a few years ago.
117	22	Andrew Ladd	LW	Winnipeg	Solid leader -Could be a 30/30 guy again this year.
118	30	Jason Spezza	C	Ottawa	Like Lecavillier, may go higher based on name. Good in spurts, bad for weeks
119	23	Evander Kane	LW	Winnipeg	Pedestrian scoriong numbers considering all the shots he puits on net- but he delivers hits
120	31	Patrice Bergeron	C	Boston	Good pick for leagues with faceoffs- top Plus/minus guy as well. Average offensive numbers
121	31	Travis Hamonic	D	N.Y. Islanders	If you are set at scoring and need penalty minutes- Harmonic chipped in 100 from the blue line
122	32	Kimmo Timonen	D	Philadelphia	Solid fantasy play
123	24	Ray Whitney	LW	Phoenix	Talented vet stuck on a team that can't score. Will get a lot of PP time. I hope he's renting and didn't buy
124	23	Justin Williams	RW	Los Angeles	Injury prone winger had a great first half last season.
125	24	Drew Stafford	RW	Buffalo	Needs to shine early to get a top 6 forward slot- if supplanted- could be a waiver wire casualty
126	25	Ales Hemsky	RW	Edmonton	If the kids produce, Hemskey can pile on the assists
127	25	Brooks Laich	LW	Washington	Will get a lot of sloppy seconds on talented Caps team. Wont get a ton of PP opportunities though
128	26	Clarke MacArthur	LW	Toronto	Plesant surprise last year.
129	26	Martin Erat	RW	Nashville	Always a top waiver wire optioon
130	27	Brenden Morrow	LW	Dallas	Value drops losing Brad Richards
131	21	Ondrej Pavelec	G	Winnipeg	Talk about quantity. Gets a lot of work and sees more rubber on game night than a Harlem hooker.
132	28	Jussi Jokinen	LW	Carolina	50 points for the season but can garner you some faceoffs if your league has that stat
133	22	Kari Lehtonen	G	Dallas	Solid 2nd or 3rd option
134	33	Tomas Kaberle	D	Carolina	I think the Trade from Toronto to Boston was payback fro ripping the Leafs off in the Phil Kessel deal. Non Factor in Boston's cup win
135	34	Dennis Wideman	D	Washington	Buried on talent laden D- corps
136	35	Erik Johnson	D	Colorado	He better be worth what they gave up for him - so far a dissapointment
137	29	James Neal	LW	Pittsburgh	Could and should be much higher on this list. Was great value in Dallas, but the "Real Deal" was a zonk in the 'burgh
138	27	Rene Bourque	RW	Calgary	Wasted talent in Calgary
139	28	Jakub Voracek	RW	Philadelphia	Too much competition in Philly for fantasy impact
140	36	Andrei Markov	D	Montreal	If he gets heaslthy- a supurb fantasy play. Injuries buried his ranking. Take advantage in the draft
141	32	Mike Ribeiro	C	Dallas	Might be a point a game player now that Richard's seat is empty
142	33	Jordan Staal	C	Pittsburgh	Scores shorthanded on a regular basis
143	37	John Carlson	D	Washington	Budding young defenseman - will take opportunities away from Mike Green
144	38	Ryan Whitney	D	Edmonton	Edmonton stinks- Plan accordingly
145	39	Niklas Kronwall	D	Detroit	Solid D-man.
146	40	Marek Zidlicky	D	Minnesota	Could emerge with Burns gone
147	34	Patrik Berglund	C	St. Louis	Youngster might make a step up- waiver wire guy to keep an ye on
148	30	Ryan Malone	LW	Tampa Bay	Hurt last year - if healthy he is a guy with sneaky value
149	29	Mikael Samuelsson	RW	Vancouver	Had a renaissance in Vancouver. Good fill in guy
150	31	Brad Marchand	LW	Boston	Impressive rookie had awesome playoffs during the cup run. Big time sleeper pick - and had 6 shorties to boot
151	32	Tyler Ennis	LW	Buffalo	Also plays Center- will probably get a lot of time there in Centerdepleated Sabres lineup - 200 plus shots on net
152	30	Kris Versteeg	RW	Florida	Poor guy has been passed around like a joint at a biker rally. Florida will put him into fantasy obscurity
153	31	Jason Pominville	RW	Buffalo	Could be trade bait for an established center
154	33	Max Pacioretty	LW	Montreal	Had 28 pys in only 37 games last year. Another sleeper you can probably snipe late in drafts
155	32	Brad Boyes	RW	Buffalo	Could be had on waivers if he starts out hot. Will he be the 30 goal Boyes or the sub 20 goal Boyes?
156	33	Blake Wheeler	RW	Winnipeg	Dissapointing big guy.
157	34	Brian Gionta	RW	Montreal	Nothing special
158	34	Peter Mueller	LW	Colorado	Talented guy hasn't played in a year due to concussions. He could be a plesant surprise if healthy
159	35	T.J. Oshie	RW	St. Louis	Injuries held this guy back. Could explode. Watch him on the wire
160	23	Niklas Backstrom	G	Minnesota	Gets a lot of work and puts up nice numbers. Wins aren't one of them
161	35	Matt Moulson	LW	N.Y. Islanders	Scored in bunches last year.
162	36	R.J. Umberger	LW	Columbus	It has been years, but LOOK OUT- IT'S JASON CAMPBELL!
163	36	Nikolai Kulemin	RW	Toronto	Waiver wire fodder
164	37	Patric Hornqvist	RW	Nashville

171	36	Antoine Vermette	C	Columbus
172	37	Mikhail Grabovski	C	Toronto

176	43	Brian Campbell	D	Florida

188	40	Steve Ott	C	Dallas

193	44	Bryan Little	C	Winnipeg
194	45	Daniel Alfredsson	RW	Ottawa
195	39	Tomas Holmstrom	LW	Detroit	Getting older- but Detroit players usually get better with age. Just stay on the ice and out of the trainer's room
196	40	Troy Brouwer	LW	Washington	Could be the missing piece in DC- team character builder and potential sleeper
197	41	Brandon Prust	LW	N.Y. Rangers	He fights and had a career year with goals.Great combo
198	27	Jose Theodore	G	Florida
199	42	Ryan Smyth	LW	Edmonton	Captain Canada back to where it all started over a decade ago.

201	44	Dan Cleary	LW	Detroit	Scored in bunches on an injury plagued Wings team last year. Less ice time this year
202	45	Alexander Steen	LW	St. Louis	Nothing special
203	45	Brayden Schenn	C	Philadelphia

207	47	Artem Anisimov	C	N.Y. Rangers
