2011 Fantasy Football, Week 11 Gold Mine: Arizona Cardinals’ John Skelton
Week 10 performance: 315 yards, 3 TD’s, 2 INT’s v. Philadelphia Eagles
According to Wikipedia (damn you Jimmy Wales and your scary portrait pictures that make seize up in fear every time they pop up), Skelton was born in the dirty little border town of El Paso, Texas. He played his high school football at Burges High School, home to an Army general and an astronaut. From there, he moved on to the football powerhouse (sarcasm) of Fordham University. There doesn't seem to be any standout football players from Fordham. However, the school is home to the once-for-all greatest coach in NFL history, Vince Lombardi. It's hard to knock Fordham with this in mind; and of course, who can diss Skelton's alma mater when it's also the alma mater of Denzel Washington and Alan Alda?
Projections:
Skelton chucked the ball a lot his senior season, leading the NCAA FCS in passing yards with 3,713 yards. He likes to throw the ball. It’s hard to say whether he’ll keep up his week 10 performance. Aside from next week’s game against the Rams, he faces plenty of decent defenses: San Francisco, Dallas, Cincinnati and Cleveland. He’d be a nice add to replace a Matt Cassel or Rex Grossman, but it’s not difficult to see that his fantasy playoff matchups could really sink you if you start hiim.
