Each week The Kommish will be putting out his projected top 10 rankings for the upcoming round of games. The rankings are based on stability of performance, matchups, and general potential awesomeness of the player at their respective position.
RB Start of the Week: Arian Foster v. Jets
It’s starting to sound like a broken record, but the guy is just good. Foster has been as consistent as you can get especially considering he has a strong backup behind him in Ben Tate. In Week 5 he’ll be facing the New York Jets, and their suffering defense. They are ranked 29th in the NFL against the run and they’re reeling with the loss of Darrelle Revis.
Look for another big game from Foster.
WR Start of the Week: Roddy White v. Redskins
The hype coming into 2012 was the big potential of Julio Jones in Atlanta, but it looks like Roddy White isn’t ready to hand over the keys to the kingdom just yet. He’s been solid in 2012 with several big games. In Week 5 the Falcons will be facing a Redskins defense that has given up the most fantasy points to wide receivers. Rest assured that Matt Ryan will likely carve up the ‘Skins and Roddy should have yet another big day.
QB Start of the Week: Matt Ryan v. Redskins
Matty “Ice” has been solid in 2012, and with two stars in Roddy White and Julio Jones he always has big game potential. The Falcons will be facing the Redskins in Week 5, who are ranked 28th in giving up fantasy points to QBs and 32nd in giving up points to WRs. That spells huge scoring potential. Look for Ryan to have another strong day.
