Week 8 Matchup

The Real McCoy (4-3) vs Tesus Crusades (4-2-1)

Week 8 Starters

QB - Matt Ryan: Welcome back Matt. Ryan had 4 tds against philly last year. Can he repeat his performance? Or will his production continue to slow down?

WR - Reggie Wayne: Reggie Wayne is finding it harder to connect with Luck as of late. Hopefully a matchup with TEN is all he needs to get back to better production.

WR - Demaryious Thomas: Thomas has a dream matchup against NO this week. It will be a major dissappointment if he does not produce. This big play receiver needs to show up today.

RB - Ryan Mathews: Mathews is another player on McCoy coming off a bye. Hopefully Norv Turner has figured out the Mathews is a great talent who needs to get the ball.

RB - Rashad Jennings: Freshly picked up off the free agent list, McCoy expects Jennings to be a workhorse. No matter what his ypc average is, Jennings should be getting the ball as the Jags do not have many options.

TE - Martellus Bennett: Injuries continue to mount for McCoy as Hernandez suffered a setback and did not make the trip with NE. It has got to be "Next Man Up" this week as Bennett steps into the starting lineup his first week as a member of the Real McCoy.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: Mr. Inconsistent. Dez continues to frusturate owners as he had two great weeks in a row only to put up a dud last week. Playing in a big game against the NYG should hopefully wake him up. In order for him to produce, DAL needs to get him involved early in the game.

K - Lawrence Tynes: Should have opportunities in this weeks matchup against DAL.

DEF - SEA: This was the hardest decision of the week for McCoy. He flip flopped all week between SEA and SD. At the end of the day, the facts are the facts and DET has been a good matchup for defenses this season.

Overall, this is a huge matchup for McCoy not to mention the number 1 anicipated matchup of the week. If McCoy wants to make the playoffs this is a week he needs to win. You have to beat the competition, and Tesus is one of the teams in McCoy's way. New players Bennett and Jennings need to produce as do the WR's this week. McCoy could not have caught Tesus on a better week as Torrey Smith, Ray Rice, and Owen Daniels are all on byes. But, this matchup is no given. Tesus still has some very talented players in his lineup. All it takes are big days from Maclin, Heath Miller, and James Jones and he will be right in the matchup. Another item to note is the 1 PM games are huge for Tesus. He has 7 players playing at 1. Both managers really want to win this week, and should give the fans a great show.

Week 7 Matchup

The Real McCoy (4-2) vs ShowMeYourTDs (3-3)

Week 7 Starters

QB  - Jay Cutler : Cutler has a good matchup against DET and has been playing pretty well this football season. Can he limit turnovers and play to his potential?

WR - Reggie Wayne : Wayne is coming off his worst game of the season. He has another tough matchup against Joe Haden this week. Hopefully the targets continue to be there resulting in production.

WR - Dez Bryant - Dez has had two good back to back weeks. It is still hard to trust him as he has an inconsistent game. But it appears he has taken the #1 WR job in Dallas.

RB - CJ Spiller : Spiller has a great matchup against TEN. However, he continues to split carries with Jackson. If he gets the touches he has shown he can produce on the field. Can he get some big plays this week?

RB - DeAngelo Williams : DeAngelo has a shot to prove to McCoy he is better than he thinks. Not much is expected here, but in fantasy sometimes people surprise.

TE - Aaron Hernandez : Welcome back Aaron! McCoy is very happy for Hernandez to be back in the lineup. He is one of the keys to this team. Can he be effective enough while playing on a gimpy ankle?

FLEX - Kenny Britt : Britt is just getting back into the swing of things. He is coming off a rocky game where he ran wrong routes and dropped passes (sound familiar.....Dez). We have seen his potential in the past and McCoy is hoping he starts this week against bufalo.

K - Lawrence Tynes : Kicking a decent amount of field goals as of late......keep it up

DEF - Oakland : Tough call here for Oakland to start over seattle or pittsburgh. But at the end of the day, Pitt is without Troy and seattle is playing an angry SF team at home. Hopefully this matchup play against the jags pays off.

Overall, McCoy is hoping to get another win this week. It will be very tough as TDs has a good team very capable of putting up a lot of points. Both teams have bye weeks and McCoy has an injured RB as well. Can TDs capitalize? McCoy needs some production out of his RB's if he wants a chance to be in the game.

Week 6 Matchup

The Real McCoy (3-2) vs. Brax To Da Max (1-4)

Week 6 Starters (as of 10/10/12)

QB - Matt Ryan: Ryan must continue his consistent good play in order for McCoy to win games. He has a good matchup this week against the raiders....can he capitalize?

WR- Reggie Wayne: Wayne has been great this season and is coming off his biggest scoring output of the year. However, many times players have down weeks after games like that. He will need to have another good week to beat Brax.

WR - Demaryious Thomas: Thomas needs to cut down on his mistakes. If he can stop fumbling and dropping passes he could be a more dangerous target. McCoy is hoping he continues to develop his chemistry with manning in order to play to the best of his ability.

RB - Ryan Mathews: Ryan is coming off a good week against the saints where his touches were still limited. There is still some uncertainty about his touches every week, but McCoy is excited about his potential.

RB - DeMarco Murray: Murray has a tough matchup this week against the Ravens. While Baltimore's run def is not as good as it once was, it is still no walk in the park. The Cowboys offense is really struggling this football season making it difficult for Murray to be consistent.

TE - Aaron Hernandez: Hernandez has been out since hurting his ankle in week 2. He is a key piece to McCoy's team and he needs him on the field. Will this be the week he returns to the lineup? McCoy hopes so.

FLEX - Dez Bryant: Dez has been very inconsistent as a player this football season. But he is coming off his best performance of the season. He has so much potential but just hasn't been able to put it all together.

K - Lawrence Tynes: Kick some field goals Tynes

DEF - Pittsburgh: Great matchup against Ten this week, but Polamalu and Woodley are both out.

QB- Matt Ryan: Playing great so far, and needs to keep producing for McCoy to have a chance

TE- Dennis Pitta: Hoping to bounce back from a 0 pt performance and back to weeks 1-3 production.
FLEX- Greg Olsen: Has been playing well lately, but has a tough matchup against SEA.
K- Lawrence Tynes: Not much to say here. Go kick some field goals.
DEF- SEA: Does not play as well on the road, but playing a CAR team who has turned the ball over this yr.
