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.
