Two weeks in the books and it’s already apparent that the Seahawks suck. Let’s focus on someone who performed better in the second week… me. Here were my suggestions from last week: Vernon Davis, 0 catches, 0 yards, 1 FAIL! - Genius. Matt Cassel, 165 yards passing, 0 TDs - Indifference (think of this as a long term investment). Donte Rosario, 1 catch, 6 yards - My Bad. Hank Baskett, 2 catches, 10 yards - Genius. Seattle, enough said - Genius (I hate to say this).
On to some guidance for week 3, this is where we start to separate the men from the boys:
Pick-up Darren Sproles, RB, San Diego - I’m not saying that LT is going down, just that there is plenty of offense on San Diego to go around. With Shawn Merriman out on the defensive side, look for SD to be scored on more and that means more kickoff returns for Sproles. This is a much better option than some first string RBs (read: Fred Taylor).
Hold on Ahmed Bradshaw, RB, NY Giants - This week is all about return yards, but Bradshaw got TDs from both rushing and receiving in week 2. Sounds like he was also in the coach’s doghouse the first week, so hopefully these are the kind of numbers to expect from him, until he decides to get into a fight at a strip club.
Trade bait Jay Cutler, QB, Denver - Do people really think the Broncos are this good? 350 yards passing and 4 TDs this week… not bad… the refs of course helped him out by calling that would-be lost fumble an incomplete pass. There has to be some sucker in your league who thinks that Cutler and the Broncos are the real deal - so make that son of a bitch pay!
Dump LJ Smith, TE, Philly - Tight ends are like showers, you need to take one each week just to keep it interesting. Diggles suggested to start him this week, but 1 catch for 10 yards…yikes. McNabb has the philosophy of, “Why throw underneath to my TE, when I can throw long to my WRs?” Even McNabb knows that chicks dig the long deep ball.
Pick Up Hot-lanta Defense - Why’s that? Because Atlanta drew a home game against Kansas City this week, maybe the worst team in the NFL (St. Louis a close second). Even Oakland’s miserable team went into KC and got 13 fantasy points last week. Plus, this will give you a reason to actually care about this game, although this picture here might also be reason enough too.
