With Terry Glenn's knee looking more and more like it could be a chronic thing this season, Crayton's obviously a lot more interesting. He's never scored a touchdown as a starter, but that figured to change soon in what should be a pretty potent offense.
I'd say there are a couple things we actually learned last night, and a couple things that it would be easy to say we learned, but probably didn't.
Indianapolis Colts 41, New Orleans Saints 10
Two more lineup questions came in as I've been sitting here staring at the clock and cursing it for not saying 8:30 yet. Since I don't have anything else to do... Brandon can add his responses after the post goes live. Ghetto blogging at its finest.
Matt's take: Moss is hard to judge and tends to occasionally explode with a huge game, so I can't blame anyone for starting him on a weekly basis, but the 'Skins offense looks gawdawful at this point. While the Miami defense's weak spot is its secondary, they will be able to double-team Moss because he's the only viable downfield target on the team. Miami's offense is just as bad as Washington's; this has all the makings of a low-scoring, grind-it-out affair that won't favor a big-play receiver like Moss.
As the beginning of the 2007-08 NFL season begins tomorrow, and due to the fact that tomorrow's game has so much relevance to fantasy football, we've decided to publish a new weekly article called "Fantasy Game of the Week". This article will not necessarily focus on the most relevant game in terms of the standings or playoff races. It will analyze the game that will have the biggest effect on the fantasy world. An example of this would be, maybe...New Orleans vs. Indianapolis. In fact, I can't think of another match-up that could take place that would have more fantasy relevance.
Now that the fantasy draft season is just about over (except for you very pathetic people who couldn't get it together before week 1 and will be starting your seasons late), you can throw your cheat sheets out the window and focus instead on the day-to-day mechanics of maintaining a solid fantasy squad.
A few months ago, the Patriots defense looked primed to be one of the top defenses in the NFL. Asante Samuel would return after his almost Pro-Bowl season. Adalius Thomas was brought in from Baltimore to add some spark to an aging linebacker core. Rodney Harrison was finally healed and expected to play the entire season after missing portions of the last two years with injuries. Add coach Bill Belichick's master defensive scheming to the mix and you have the forming of a perfect defensive storm (a good version though...not this one).
Olsen didn't look so hot leaving the field on Thursday, but it sounds like he'll be OK. That said, the fact that he'll be rehabbing a injury for a while, and splitting time even when he's healthy, takes some of the luster away from this potential sleeper.
Only three nights left till the moment you've been waiting about 7 months for...opening day of the 2007-08 NFL season. What a game it should be too, with enormous fantasy implications as the New Orleans Saints visit Indianapolis to battle the reigning Superbowl champ Colts. Just some of the names you'll be watching: Peyton Manning, Reggie Bush, Joseph Addai, Marques Colston, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne (need I say any more?). With almost everyone's fantasy drafts over at this point, here's a couple recent updates to players that may be on your roster:
