Bruno Boys Fantasy Football

26. Santonio Holmes (Pittsburgh Steelers) @ Baltimore

This is getting a bit absurd. It has to come sometime, right? At some point this season, Holmes will traverse into the end zone, won’t he? It’s been nine weeks and counting since he found the end zone, and though he’s been otherwise productive, that’s not quite what fantasy football owners want to see from a wide out they draft to be their WR2 option.

27. T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Seattle Seahawks) @ St. Louis

After a great game, Houshmandzadeh reverted back to his old form, latching on to just four passes for a measly 36 yards last week. Still, with such a solid match-up this week, you can’t help but think bigger things are in store for him against the poor Rams pass defense.

28. Derrick Mason (Baltimore Ravens) vs. Pittsburgh

Mason racked up season-highs with nine catches and 142 yards last week against the Indianapolis Colts, though he failed to score, and has not done so over the past three weeks. Still, that’s a bit nitpicky considering his otherwise great effort, and he is obviously the best receiving option that the Ravens have.

29. Percy Harvin (Minnesota Vikings) vs. Chicago

Harvin was on the receiving end of his second touchdown pass over the last three games while reeling in five passes for 79 yards last week in the Vikings’ win against the Seattle Seahawks. Harvin has also had two games of at least 75 yards in his last three, and is a constant threat to find the end zone.

30. Mario Manningham (New York Giants) @ Denver

Manningham went over 100 receiving yards last week (with 126) for the first time since Week 2, and he did so with six catches; it was the second consecutive week he caught six passes. That means he’s getting plenty of looks, and he should be in for a solid day against a struggling Denver Broncos team.

31. Miles Austin (Dallas Cowboys) vs. Oakland

Dim the lights on that light we all had shined directly on Austin after his huge performances a few weeks back. He has a total of nine catches for 116 yards over his last three games, and has scored just once in that time. He remains the Cowboys’  best receiving option due to the puzzling play of Roy Williams, but the Oakland Raiders will be a tough match-up for him.
Point Projection: 8 points

32. Donnie Avery (St. Louis Rams) vs. Seattle

Avery caught four passes for 65 yards last week, marking the second straight game he had at least that many yards. He has a fabulous match-up this week against the Seattle Seahawks, who are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in having given up more touchdowns to wide receivers than any team other than the Tennessee Titans.
Point Projection: 8 points

33. Chris Chambers (Kansas City Chiefs) @ San Diego

Though it took a long catch in overtime to help him, Chambers still racked up 119 receiving yards on four catches as the Chiefs upset the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. With Dwayne Bowe out for three more games, Chambers is the No. 1 guy in Kansas City, and he might be a little more motivated this week considering he is facing the team who cut him less than a month ago.
Point Projection: 7 points

34. Pierre Garcon (Indianapolis Colts) @ Houston

Garcon had a season-high 108 receiving yards last week against a solid Baltimore Ravens pass defense, and is quickly becoming an intriguing fantasy option, surpassing fellow wideout Austin Collie. Garcon has had at least 50 receiving yards in each of his last four games after only reaching that mark twice in his first six games.
Point Projection: 7 points

35. Roy Williams (Dallas Cowboys) vs. Oakland

Who knows what to make of this guy, which is why he’s exactly in the middle of a 70-player ranking. Over 100 yards in one week, and zero in another? That’s difficult to comprehend, especially for a player with the talent that Williams seemingly possesses. Like most weeks, play Williams at your own risk on Thanksgiving Day against the Oakland Raiders.
Point Projection: 7 points

36. Robert Meacham (New Orleans Saints) vs. New England

Amazingly, Meacham has caught just three passes over the last two weeks, and all three of them have gone for touchdowns. This calculator tells me that’s a 100 percent conversion rate of touchdowns to catches, and that isn’t too shabby. Overall, he has four touchdowns over his last three games.
Point Projection: 7 points

37. Steve Breaston (Arizona Cardinals) @ Tennessee

It was a rough game for Breaston last week against the St. Louis Rams. He caught nary a pass, and now that Anquan Boldin is at full strength and Beanie Wells is rounding into form, Breaston’s production may ebb. Still, his match-up this week against the Tennessee Titans is sweet enough to leave him in the top-40.
Point Projection: 7 points

38. Antonio Bryant (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) @ Atlanta

Now that Bryant is seemingly healthy, he should be ready to contribute to fantasy football squads once again. His season has been marred by injuries, and after missing two games, he came back last week with three receptions for 40 yards. With the Atlanta Falcons struggling against the pass you can expect Bryant to see enough opportunity to be used as a low-end WR3 option in Week 12.

39. Bernard Berrian (Minnesota Vikings) vs. Chicago

Berrian’s season has been a fairly disappointing one from an overall standpoint, but he is making up for a bit with his touchdown catching prowess of late. He has scored four times over his last seven games, including last week, despite having caught more than three passes just once in that time.
Point Projection: 6 points

40. Lee Evans (Buffalo Bills) vs. Miami

Evans was an afterthought last week as Terrell Owens got most of the heavy lifting. As such, Evans caught only one pass for 15 yards, the second-worst total of the season for him. Still, he has a very nice match-up this week with the Miami Dolphins, a team he had 60 yards against in their first meeting, and can still be very useful this year.
Point Projection: 6 points

41. Braylon Edwards (New York Jets) vs. Carolina

Edwards is basically the same player with the Jets that he was with the Cleveland Browns earlier this year, except he’s just in a bigger media market. He had one catch for 10 yards last week, and just twice in his six games with New York has he gained at least 65 receiving yards.
Point Projection: 6 points

42. Jeremy Maclin (Philadelphia Eagles) vs. Washington

Maclin’s production last week was solid, with six receptions for 64 yards; it was the second week in succession that he had six catches and at least 60 yards. He has a difficult match-up this week against Washington, but the last time he faced the Washington Redskins, he did come away with five catches for 53 yards.
Point Projection: 6 points

43. Hakeem Nicks (New York Giants) @ Denver

Nicks tied a season (and career) high with five receptions last week against the Atlanta Falcons, and he also gathered up 65 receiving yards, the third-highest total of his career. Yet he hasn’t scored in three games, and though he remains in the mix, is behind Steve Smith and Mario Manningham in the wideout pecking order.
Point Projection: 6 points

44. Brandon Gibson (St. Louis Rams) vs. Seattle

Gibson had a monster amount of targets last week against the Arizona Cardinals, with Marc Bulger looking his way 17 times. Gibson came up with only five of those passes, however, and managed 61 yards. He could have had a touchdown had he held onto the ball on a fade route late in the game, but couldn’t come up with it. However, Bulger is out with a broken leg, and with the erratic Kyle Boller (who, incidentally, is dating former Miss California and controversy queen Carrie Prejean – just an FYI) taking over, it’s hard to know what to expect.
Point Projection: 6 points

45. Mohamed Massaquoi (Cleveland Browns) @ Cincinnati

Massaquoi scored the first touchdown of his brief career last week against the putrid pass defense of the Detroit Lions, while also catching five balls for 115 yards. As not only a rookie, but the lone big-play threat on the Browns’ offense, it’s difficult to diagnose Massaquoi’s potential value on a weekly basis, but coming off last week, and keeping in mind his previous outing against the Cincinnati Bengals – eight catches for 148 yards – there’s reason to like the former Georgia Bulldog this week, at least to some extent.
Point Projection: 5 points

46. Santana Moss (Washington Redskins) @ Philadelphia

Only six teams have allowed wide receivers to catch fewer passes than the Philadelphia Eagles have, and Moss isn’t exactly tearing the joint up right now; he caught five passes for a measly 38 yards last week, and has a total of 46 yards over his last two games. Yet he did have six receptions for 74 yards against Philadelphia the last time these two teams hooked up.
Point Projection: 5 points

47. Laveranues Coles (Cincinnati Bengals) vs. Cleveland

With 61 receiving yards last week, Coles reached the 60-yard plateau for the third consecutive game, and he did it on just two receptions. He’s nowhere near the fantasy football contributor he has been in the past, but he’s at least becoming someone to think about, especially with his match-up this week against the Cleveland Browns.
Point Projection: 5 points

48. Devery Henderson (New Orleans Saints) vs. New England

The New England Patriots are a chore for receivers to go up against, and Henderson will have his hands full. Still, we predict a much better effort that he displayed last week, because he couldn’t possibly have done any worse than one catch for -2 yards.
Point Projection: 5 points

49. Nate Washington (Tennessee Titans) vs. Arizona

Washington had a disappointing one catch for 13 yards last Monday night in his team’s win over the Houston Texans. Yet he also dropped a long pass that would have added to his night substantially, and he has a very good match-up with the Arizona Cardinals this week, so all is not lost for him.
Point Projection: 5 points

50. Austin Collie (Indianapolis Colts) @ Houston

As Pierre Garcon’s production has risen, Collie’s has faded. He’s only reached 50 or more receiving yards once in the last five weeks, and that included last week’s one-catch, 12-yard effort, his worst since Week 2. The rookie has had a nice season overall, but has slowed down a bit too much for his fantasy owners.
