What’s up fantasy nation? Hopefully you’re ready for a Thanksgiving filled with great food and family time, not to mention some great football.

Fantazzle is honoring Thursday’s holiday with a “Turkey Day Special”, and I am here to help you select your roster for this fantasy football event. With three great games in the NFL and a rivalry that features two Texas teams in college football, there is no shortage of fantasy studs in action. Here are three players to include on your Thanksgiving day roster, and three players to avoid.

SALARY CAP FANTASY FOOTBALL: TURKEY DAY SPECIAL–> PLAY NOW!

Running Back

Yes, Reggie Bush has been solid of late, and you likely missed out on a week or two of production because you were skeptical. But don’t let that affect your decision making, as he isn’t worth starting this week against a top 5 run defense in Dallas. Instead, I advise taking a flyer on the Packers Ryan Grant. James Starks is banged up and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable, meaning Grant will get a solid workload. This is Rodgers team, but Detroit struggles to stop the run, and the Pack to look to establish Grant.

Wide Receiver

I’m not a Dolphins hater, but I am down on Brandon Marshall as well on Turkey Day. Dallas gives up the seventh fewest points to opposing wide receivers, and Marshall figures to be their main concern. Davone Bess would be the better value this week than Brandon Marshmellow (stay in the food theme with the holiday). I also like Laurent Robinson, who has recorded a score in four straight game, for as long as Miles Austin is sidelined.

Tight End

Vernon Davis is a tough match up, but Baltimore’s defense typically shows up in marquee games. I think they keep him out of the end zone, and hold him to under 80 yards. Brandon Pettigrew will outperform Davis in what figures to be a high scoring game against the Packers. Green Bay gives up the second most fantasy points to opposing TE’s: that combined with a hot Stafford works in Pettigrew’s favor.

As for the lone college game on the schedule, Texas and Texas A&M square off. One name jumps out from this game as potential game breakers: receiver Ryan Swope from A&M. With the teams stud RB Cyrus Gray highly questionable, I expect more of an aerial attack, with Swope being the teams top option. Since October 15, Swope is averaging 1.5 touchdowns per game. He has at least eight catches in all but one of those games, and should be heavily targeted on Thanksgiving.

Greetings Fantazzle Community,

Today we have for you a couple quick looks at the past week and a quick review of the week ahead for college football. Remember, the Fantasy Football Freeroll presented by Scorebig.com is now available to enter for free and is awarding over $200 in prizes!

NFL Week 8 – Here is a quick look at what went right and what went wrong this week in the fantasy world.

Ray Rice led a late surge as his Ravens prevailed over the Cardinals. His 99 total yards aren’t special, but his three touchdowns should make fantasy owners giddy, as they all came from one yard out, adding yet another dimension to his game.

Brent Celek was targeted nine times against the Cowboys; a second straight week in which Mike Vick looked his way on a consistent basis. He caught seven of those passes for 94 yards, including a nice TD in the back of the end zone.

Antonio Brown had a field day against a weak Patriots secondary. He caught a team high nine passes for 67 yards and a TD. The numbers aren’t eye popping, but dig a little deeper to find the most telling statistic. Brown was targeted 15 times on Sunday, giving him 63 targets on the year (compared to Mike Wallace’s 57).

Chris Johnson disappointed fantasy owners for the third consecutive week. The big difference this week was the opponent. The harmless Colts (surrendering the second most fantasy points to opposing RB’s) allowed only 34 yards on Johnson’s 14 carries, the fifth time in seven games in which Johnson has failed to average more than 2.7 yards per carry.

DeSean Jackson caught only three balls (on six targets) for 31 yards and has proven to be the Adam Dunn of the NFL. Jeremy Maclin is the consistent producer on the Eagles, and Jackson is the one who can win/lose you weeks.

Dez Bryant visited Nnamdi Asomugha Island on Sunday night and was held to just 28 yards on three catches. The most valuable Cowboy receiver will be whoever is declared the team’s second option by their opponent.

NCAAF – The week ahead is a huge one for the landscape of college football. Here’s a quick look at three games involving nationally ranked teams on both sidelines. My picks are in italics.

9 South Carolina @ 7 Arkansas

The Gamecocks surrender 17.1 points per game, which doesn’t sound bad at all, but when you include the fact that they have scored 24 or less points in five of their eight games, it becomes a fine line between winning and losing. They tend to excel in ugly games, where they simply outlast inferior teams, but Arkansas doesn’t fit that description. They are 4-0 in games decided by 10 points or less, and have a QB in Tyler Wilson who they trust to win them the game. Arkansas averages only 131.8 rushing yards per game, 83^rd in the country, which could be dangerous should South Carolina find a way to slow down the ninth most effective passing game in college football.

1 LSU @ 2 Alabama

When the top two teams in the nation meet up on Saturday, it will be the 46^th such occurrence. The nation’s top ranked team has dominated ranked teams by a combined score of 103-35 in three games. The Tigers rank third in the country in points allowed per game (11.5). Hard to imagine, but the Crimson Tide are better, and only surrender less than a TD per game (6.9 points). When the defense isn’t scoring points, the physical Trent Richardson is their focal point. The first team to 20 points should win this colossal game, and take over the #1 spot in the next BCS poll.

Good luck all and enjoy the games!
