Jeremy Maclin:
I drafted Maclin for myself, thinking he would have immediate impact with receiver hungry Donovan McNabb. Here is my take. Maclin will do fine, and probably fairly consistantly IF McNabb is under center. Backup Kerry Kolb utterly ignored him, preferring Brent Celek. Now, 6 catches for 142 and 2 scores is a nice performance, but don't expect this kind of production. This was literally a coming out party. Maclin is the #2 behind DeSean Jackson, but he definately has skill and a demonstrated chemistry with his QB.
Miles Austin:
Austin posted the best game of his career, and infact, the best day of any Cowboy receiver on any given day. But let's look at reality here. Austin has been with Dallas since 2006. His best total was last year with 13 catches for 278 yards. Yes, that's right... THIRTEEN receptions. Even this year, most of his totals YTD are from this one game last weekend. He does bear watching now that he has his chance to shine (Roy Williams is out for a bit), but I can't put too much stock in a late bloomer like this. With Romo spreading the ball around like he normally does, I think this is strictly an anomally. Prove me wrong Miles.
Austin Collie:
I mentioned this in my previous posts this week, but Austin studies more film and spends more time at it than... you guessed it, Peyton Manning. Now I am not comparing their talent, there is no comparison, but even as a rookie, Collie is displaying the right traits to have staying power. Yet, with Wayne and Clark on the roster, Collie will do ok, splitting time with Pierre Garcon (and Anthony Gonzales when he returns in a few weeks), but don't expect great things week to week, a spot starter or flex guy... maybe.
Chris Henry:
I was high on Henry in the preseason and drafted him as my last WR, thinking to take a chance on him. But ever since, he has utterly disappeared. His pattern continues from past years, having a big game or two, teasing us poor fantasy owners, then either poor decisions off the field or poor performances on it leave us teased and taunted. I am not ready to trust him... not until I see Carson Palmer targetting him more frequently and more regularly.
Vernon Davis:
Davis has started to show his first signs of life since his career began. But let me make my case. Davis I think needed the disciplined approach of coach Mike Singletary and frankly, a kick in the ass. He is now a team voted caption and is becoming a reliable target. I would take a chance on Davis if you need a quality TE or even a spot starter.
I don't have much input on the QB or RB side unfortunately. Nothing really or truly surprising out there.
