Da Great White Hype:
Its not even Week 2, and my number of roster moves is higher than the amount of VMA's Lady Gaga won last night. You ever hear the expression you dance with the girl you brought to the dance? Yeah that's for anime-obsessed weirdos on MADE on MTV that can only dupe someone to going to that dance. I pull the trigger on any player in Week 1 that looks like hes gonna be an All-Pro which will backfire, especially on a roster move-capped league like the one I play in. For those much more wise than I am...
Here are a few players to keep an eye on...
-Joshua Cribbs KR/PR/WR, Cle. In leagues that value return yardage, Cribbs was that dude today. With a combined 201 yds in returns (along with 1 touchdown on special teams) added with the fact that the Browns plan to use him in the Wildcat formation, Cribbs could be a good WR/RB option, especially against low scoring opponents that will offer him many chances for returns on punts.
-Robert Meachem, WR, NO. The former Tennessee Volunteer was supposed to have his breakout year last year. Well, it may have been delayed until 2009. Meachem only had 2 catches for 51 yds, but he did haul in one of Brees' six TD passes. In an offense this dangerous, you can still find benefits from third options in the passing game.
-John Carlson, TE, Sea. Carlson caught six passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns. He was thrown at nine times, and often was split out as a WR for the Seahawks. Could be a scoring threat each week. But face it, they were playing against St. Louis, and you shouldn't expect two TDs from a TE each week.
-Patrick Crayton, WR, Dal. Crayton will have to fight for receptions along with TE Jason Whitten and WRs Miles Austin and Roy Williams. But Crayton cause 4 passes for 135 yds, showing he, along with Williams, provide Romo with legitimate deep threats.
Don't be fooled by...
-Kyle Orton, QB, Den. The late miraculous TD pass to Brandon Stokely padded his stats (17 of 28, 243, 1 TD). If it weren't for right place-right timing with less than :30 to play, subtract 87 yards--and most importantly--the lone TD.
-Tim Hightower, RB, Ari. The Arizona RB was the leading receiver on Sunday, hauling in 12 passes for 121 yards. As far as his gains on the ground, well, he was outperformed by Beanie Wells, only rushing for 15 yds on 8 carries. Hightower never caught more than six balls in a game during his first year in Arizona, and he surely benefited from an inactive Steve Breston and a less than 100% Anquan Boldin.
