Bik's Thursday Night Week 6 Pick

Home team in CAPS:

BEARS (-7.5) over Giants

What exactly is inspiring about this Giants team right now? They had a divisional game last week vs. the Eagles at home and got rolled. They can’t slow anyone down defensively (over 31 Points against in every game), can’t control the clock (averaging league low 25 minutes time of possession), and among the leaders in Sacks allowed. To top it all off they don’t generate a lot of takeaways (7 takeaways) and because the defense is so porous their starting field position is among the league’s worst (26^th), so even when the offense get the ball they have a long distance to travel to put up any points.... BUUUUUT they can’t even move the ball efficiently per drive (ranking 30^th).

Now the reason I’m pointing out all these flaws and highlighting none of the Bears flaws is because these aren’t things you can fix on 4 days rest when you have to travel and you lose a day to prepare anyways. Their spot to show something was last week vs. the Eagles and it didn’t come to fruition. What they need to fix these things, maybe fix is the wrong word...... What they need to remedy these problems back to a more average mark is a full week to prepare and home game. I’m fading them this week but might look to play them next week vs. the Vikings.

Rest of Week 6 picks on Friday

Last Week: 6-8

This Season: 36-39-2

2013 Fantasy Football Positional Rankings: Wide Receiver

The 2013 Fantasy Football Season is nearly here. But before you can trash talk your friends, scour the waiver wire for the next fantasy gem, and win a championship, you have to get prepared for the Draft. Bik Nizzar will get you ready for the upcoming fantasy season as The Extra Period continues its Fantasy Football Positional Rankings.

Yesterday I called Quarterbacks the deepest position in fantasy and that was partially due to the relation of players to teams. You could be in a 12 team league and find a legitimate #1 Fantasy QB. Today we jump into Wide Receiver ranks and looking at sheer volume of players it’s also remarkably deep, but relating it to the size of your league, it might be prudent to jump on some of the talent when available in your draft. More details about some players who could regress or progress  next week . Below the ranks are some details for the current spots in their tiers. Without further adieu the 2013 Fantasy Football WR Ranks:
