Each week on the Ford Lions Report Live, Brad Galli and David Solano give you last-minute tips as you set your Fantasy Football roster.
Brad tells you who to start, David tells you who to sit.
WHO'S HOT
Jacob Tamme
Denver Broncos Tight End
Denver at Atlanta
-Chiefs tight ends torched Falcons defense last week.
-Success with Peyton Manning in Indianapolis in 2010 continuing.
-Peyton X-Factor: Trust. His tight ends are his go-to options. Tamme can become that in Denver.
Andre Roberts
Arizona Cardinals Wide Receiver
Arizona at New England
-Game-winning catch last week proves he can provide big moments.
-Trust from QB carousel in Arizona gives Kolb confidence in second option
-New England's secondary is (still) awful.
Alfred Morris
Washington Redskins Running Back
Washington at St. Louis
-RGIII + Morris = the recipe for success last week.
-Rams defense: we got a glimpse of it in Detroit in Week 1. It's bad. Morris will benefit.
-Shanahan's stable of running backs produces another unknown success. Take advantage while you can.
