What a way to start the season: The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

What a way to start the season

Man, what a Sunday. So much drama, so much turmoil in fantasy player values. We'll be covering all of this in more detail this week, but just a few thoughts and links:

One glance at the Geeksource tells me there's really no need for me to even mention Tom Brady.
A few guys who have already justified my faith in them: Marshawn Lynch, Drew Brees, Thomas Jones, and Chris Johnson (especially him - big uh-oh for LenDale White owners).
A few guys whose surprising outings force me to revisit my thinking about them: Reggie Bush, Willie Parker, and Donovan McNabb.
A few players whose values took a hit in week 1: Carson Palmer/Ocho Cinco/Houshmanzilly, the Seattle DST (even this Bills fan isn't willing to take all the credit for that blowout), and Marques Colston (invisible even with Brees lighting it up; too many weapons on that team).

Hits and Misses - Week 11: Turner the Burner ready to blaze!:
- Brandon: Couldn't Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald have shared a little bit of the love with Steve Breaston?
Ask the Geeks - Week 11:
- Brandon: Yeah it was amazing how bad of a game Breaston had considering the insane yardage that Boldin and Fitzgerald racked up!
- Shirley: Most definitely, Brandon! I also had some people telling me to start Muhammad over Moore too. Breaston was a disappointment for me but my other players picked up the slack. Also I'm glad that I didn't give into temptation and started Thigpen over Romo :)
- Brandon: Not a bad game for Lance Moore huh?
- Shirley: Thanks, Brandon! Everyone's been telling me to start Bradley over Moore. I just needed someone to side with my gut that's telling me to start Moore.
Why Joseph Addai, not Adrian Peterson, should be #2 on your cheat sheet:
- Matt: Finally we see what Addai's capable of. It was a long time coming, but I have a feeling he's going to make me look at least somewhat less stupid on this one before it's all said and done.
The Wire: Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11, 2008:
- Shirley: I picked up Mark Bradley but am wondering whether I should start him over Lance Moore? I'm starting Tyler Thigpen so I'm already going to get some points any Thigpen-Bradley connection.
