Two weeks down, fourteen more glorious fantasy weeks to go. Now that two weeks are recorded in the books, NFL teams will start to settle down, find their mojo, and players will start to become more transparent as far as what kind of fantasy performances they will give your team and how well they can perform against tough defenses.
I will take note of certain performances and stats you are likely to see again, and those not likely to occur again. I will try to avoid stating the obvious, such as the likely hood of seeing Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore gain a total of over 150 yards, or how rare it is to see Greg Jennings and Anquan Boldin have a 3 FF point output in any game.
You Will See Much More of This...
Mike Sims-Walker ~ 105 receiving yards
Kyle Orton ~ 307 passing yards
Chris Cooley ~ double digit FF points (12)
Matt Ryan ~ 3 TDs/0 ints
Malcom Floyd ~ 31.7 yards per catch average
Aaron Hernandez ~ 6 targets (6 receptions)
Mike Williams TB ~ double digit FF points (11)
Deon Butler ~ 5 receptions (8 targets)
Brandon Jackson ~ 2.9 yards per rush average
Matt Cassel ~ under 10 FF points (3)
Donald Driver ~ 38 receiving yards
Louis Murphy ~ 10 targets (6 receptions)
...And Much Less of This
LeSean McCoy ~ 30 FF points
Michael Vick ~ 108.0 passer rating
Kevin Walter ~ 11 targets (11 receptions)
Jay Cutler ~ 0 ints
Brandon Pettigrew ~ 108 receiving yards
Steve Smith NYG ~ 35 receiving yards
Chad Henne ~ 15 pass attempts (9 completions)
Donald Brown ~ 16 rushes
Hakeem Nicks ~ 2 receptions (5 targets)
Felix Jones ~ 9 total touches (7 runs/2 catches)
Dez Bryant ~ 2 targets (2 receptions)
Jeremy Maclin ~ 26 receiving yards
Thoughts
~The Cardinals offense without Kurt Warner (and Anquan Boldin) is an absolute mess. Look for Max Hall and John Skelton to battle for the rights to be the starting QB for 2011, maybe as soon as the second half of this season.
~Andy Reid is disgraceful. As he already said in a press conference, he acknowledges that assessment and is okay with it. Saying Kevin Kolb is your starting QB and will immediately resume that role once he is back from his concussion, then doing a 180 the very next day and saying Michael Vick is now your starter is very unprofessional and unwarranted. I understand he feels he is putting his team in the best position to win, but he had to have lost the trust of a lot of his players by saying one thing, then doing another in regards to the most important position for the Eagles.
~Gotta love the "Lord of No Rings" comment by Vincent Jackson's agent, referring to Chargers GM A.J. Smith and originated by Archie Manning.
~I am now more confident about the Lions winning six games this year. They put on a nice come-from-behind show with Shaun Hill at the helm. Which reminds me...Calvin Johnson has not had a big game yet. Imagine what the Lions can do once Johnson blows up and Jahvid Best continues doing what he has been doing.
~So much for Arian Foster being the focal point of the Texans offense...obviously. Didn't I mention something about trading him high after week 1?
~Speaking of trades, this week's buy low candidates include Pierre Garcon, Felix Jones, and Joe Flacco.
~By the time I post my next blog, I will be a new dad...for the third time.
