Upset but not surprised 'bout them Bears Thursday night. A lot of times, optimism is overrated: Bears had a lot of it coming into the season, now it figures to be a cold, playoff-less winter in Chicago.
Guess who's back? Back again? The one and (not) only.....Steve Smith! (of Carolina). Still not racking up the catches and yards like he can (primarily due to Jake Delhomme, I'm naturally assuming), but 2TD's are encouraging for the fantasy playoffs. Like a wet hog in a hog-catching competition, still one of the most elusive players in the NFL.
Ronnie Brown going out w/ crutches is bad news for his owners and the whole Brown family (my condolences) but terrific news for Ricky Williams, whose extra opportunity paid immediate dividends w/ 20 carries for 102 yards. The way the Tuna like to run, Ricky's gonna be tokin' up those yards (parden the pun)
Minnesota playing Detroit was like upgrading your army's attack points in Warcraft by double. Every offensive player had a healthy dose of action, highlighted by Jerry, I mean Sidney Rice's, 201 yards. Brett Favre looked like he sipped from the fountain of youth (the Lions have that effect on people) and threw for 344. Basically, the lesson here is start everyone and their mother against the Lions.
There's something about Maurice Jones-Drew that must make his owners smile. He's just always ready to play, always present in the game, always ready to bust a big play, always ready to score, always ready to justify his high pick by owners. Nothing says feature back like MJD: 24 carries for him, 2 carries by some guy named Snelling. Might as well be named Irrelevant.
Not much to report in Pittsburgh besides Jeff Reed and Shayne Graham probably single-handedly propelling their owners to victory. Kickers aren't supposed to do that.
Most casual fantasy owners don't know this, but Drew Brees isn't the #1 QB this year in fantasy: it's Aaron Rodgers. Consider that when you draft QB's in the first round.
If I didn't have a viable QB I would not hesitate to pick up Vince Young, who looks much more like '07 version than '08. He's still young and he's Vince Young.
Denver's in trouble after losing to the Skins and dropping to 6-3. We've read this chapter before just last year, and they face San Diego next week in a crucial matchup.
Woulda recommended starting peeps against the KC or Oakland Defense, but because it was their offensive players playing each other, it was all neutralized. Probably the best if you stayed away altogether. Jamaal Charles could be intriguing young player, but his matchups the next few weeks (Pitt, @ SD will make you shy away).
Have I mentioned how much I love Aaron Rodgers?
Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin will forever be mentioned in the same sentence for fantasy owners, like saying your going to your neighbor Fred and Wilma's house, but 10 years from now Larry Fitzgerald will be remembered as the better WR. Boldin will be described as gutsy, tough, strong, bulldozing, and "a real football player," but Fitzgerald is just better.
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
