Last week: Mark Sanchez is NOT a top ten fantasy quarterback. With all due respect to Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco and their great success last year, neither was a top ten last year. They might be this year. Don't go out and trade a quality guy like Matt Schaub
Analysis: I am still correct. Sanchez might be a good guy to have a on dynasty team, but even in a keeper league, he is not a target keeper...best he would be is a tier 2 QB next year, not a guy you would keep.
Last week: The Houston Texans collective offensive unit is NOT a bust. Matt Schaub is will throw for more than 166 yards. Andre Johnson will lead the Texans in receiving yards and TDs. Steve Slaton will get more than 17 yards next week. Owen Daniels is not a worthless TE. Sure, the entire Texan offense had a crappy day on the field. But stay the course and reap the rewards.
Analysis: Pretty much dead on here except for the defense, having second thoughs about it. And other than Steve Slaton, the rest of the Houston mob did just fine.
Last week: Matt Forte is NOT a tier 2 or even tier 3 running back. Case in point, he did not catch a pass in the game vs Green Bay on Sunday night, but Jay Culter did throw 4 picks. You think the coaching staff will work with Culter and let him know that Forte is a nice check down, or that Greg Olson can catch the ball? If Earl Bennett leads the Bears in receptions more than twice more this year, I will be hugely surprised.
Analysis: Granted, Forte is still struggling, but The Pitt defense had a lot to do with it. He did have better numbers and was much more involved in the passing game. Look for Forte to bust out in week three! He is STILL a tier 1 back.
Last week: Jake Delhomme is NOT done. Although I think I am half nuts for even thinking it, Jake has had a couple bad games (bad games? more like nightmares), but if he gets his head straight, he can still be a quality secondary fantasy QB, so don't give up the boat quite yet, hang on to him another week or two and see what happens.
Analysis: Jake bounced back with a nice game, nothing to write home about, but not a bad game... see, he is not dead.
Last week: Jay Culter will NOT throw 64 INTs this year. The Packer defense is tough this year and Culter is new to the offense and his receivers, which contributed to his demise, but don't give up the ghost. Better numbers will come.
Analysis: Cutler had a solid game against the Steelers and pulled out a win in the end, if not a stellar fantasy game. Look Mom, no INTs!
Last week: Ben Rothlisberger will NOT throw for 350 yards each game. Pittsburgh has been a run-first team for ages and will continue trying to be. I am not convinced that run first will work for this team, and perhaps Big Ben throwing the ball all over to a quality receiving corp is not a bad idea, but don't bank on it. Rothlisberger is a quality fantasy QB, but far from elite.
Analysis: Big Ben still had a solid, if not spectacular day, and the running game showed up against the Bears, at lease somewhat.
Last week: Devery Henderson is NOT the next coming of Larry Fitzgerald. Even with the unbelievable Drew Brees tossing the rock, Marques Colston will emerge as the favored target, and others like Lance Moore and Robert Meachem will get theirs too. So don't go trading Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson for Mr. Henderson.
Analysis: Ok, Henderson had a nice game this week as well, but in the end, if he is a top 40 WR by year's end, I will kiss my own ass, and that won't be a pretty site!
Last week: Brandon Stokely will NOT catch a miraculous 87 yard TD pass again in his lifetime. Stokely will return to his 3 catches and 23 yards starting next week.
Analysis: Stokely is turning into a nice scatter / possession receiver for the Broncos, but fantasy stardom is still not in his future, maybe a few nice games... but not a star.
