Best of the Best Week 11, Part 2

As you guys eat some turkeys and spend some quality time with your family, take a break from all of that and tune in to the Romanski Report. This is the second half to my new segment, the Best of the Best, where I go over all of the major positions for every NFC East team, and tell you which one's are the best! If you missed it, click here to go to Part 1.

So now that you've read part 1 (or already read part 1), here is the second half, where I'll go over the Tight End position, the defense, and the kicker. Since I am a bit late on this, I won't include any Cowboys players now that they are playing. So, without further adieu, we'll start off with the tight end.

1. Tight end. Jake Ballard, Brent Celek, and Fred Davis. The New York Giants are really going to need Jake Ballard to do a good job against this Saints defense. Eli needs all the help he can get, as it showed in last weeks game against the Eagles. Although Ballard had some drops last week, he showed on that final drive, that he can still catch, converting an important third down for the Giants. He's still an important part of this offense, and will be need on Monday against this pretty good New Orleans defense. The same goes for Brent Celek against the rising Patriot defense. He's another important part to this Eagles offense no matter who starts as their quarterback. And now we get to Fred Davis. He's always reliable, and very important to an offense that doesn't score a lot of points. Look for him every week to perform great.


2. Defense. Giants. This defense is the best of any of these three teams. Now, maybe last week they got outperformed, but their 4 man rush is the best in the league, and they lead the league in sacks. Their defense is based on rushing the quarterback. And guess what? They play an offense that throws the ball 45-50 times a game. So if this defense can pressure Drew Brees into throwing it early, they've got playmakers in their secondary that will create turnovers. Look for this defense to play big, otherwise, they could give up a lot of points.


3. Kicker. Lawrence Tynes and Alex Henry. Tynes will get a lot of opportunities this week because of Eli Manning and company. They will get in the red zone many times, so if Eli can't hit his receivers in the end zone, look for Tynes to make many important kicks. Alex Henry, on the other hand, will do very well, mainly because I don't see the Eagles offense scoring many touchdowns against the Patriots. Sure, they'll get in the end zone, but if they can't pound it in with McCoy, then look for Henry to boot it through the goal posts.


Good luck this week to all fantasy owners and fans alike. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, and I look forward to writing some more on this awesome NFC East. Check back in later, as I give you rapid reactions to this Cowboys-Dolphins game, and tune in tomorrow for some predictions.
