Ben Obomau vs. Kansas City Inside the numbers: I’m afraid Calvin Johnson is just too big and powerful for a New England defense allowing 300+ passing yards per game. Look for a Thanksgiving feast for Megatron. Donald Driver’s return did not spoil Greg Jennings' fantasy value. Look for another strong effort against Atlanta’s weak pass defense. Dwayne Bowe has ten touchdowns in his past six Reebok San Francisco 49ers #21 Frank GORE Realtree camo Jersey
games, and he’s facing Seattle, which is allowing 300.2 passing yards per game along with 16 passing touchdowns. Marques Colston is heating up. He has 32 catches in his past four games. Over that stretch he’s averaging 91.3 yards and a touchdown per game. The T.O. and Ocho Show get to face Revis and Cromartie. The “diva receivas” should be quieter this week. Steve Johnson has a tough matchup against Pittsburgh, but he’s playing too well to bench against anybody. With Leslie Frazier taking over the Vikings’ ship, I expect the team to play inspired football, tempering my expectations for Santana Moss. I can’t bring myself to endorse either Brandon Marshall or Randy Moss until they prove themselves. UPDATE Malcom Floyd slid a bit as his hamstring has become a issue. I can’t trust Seattle’s Mike Williams (foot) right now either. Derek Hagan makes the list. Ben Obomau replaces Davone Bess.
