The fantasy season is a quarter of the way over so I thought I’d be cute and give out the Quarter of the Year Awards.
Steal of the Draft…so far: Steve Smith (NYG). Russo looks pretty smart right about now.
Bust of the Draft…so far: Eddie Royal. Heralded as the next Wes Welker in Josh McDaniels’ system, Royal’s four game totals land on 8 receptions for 58 yards. That’s a bad game for Wes Welker…
Best Start of the Year…so far: Mike Sims-Walker vs. Tennessee 10/4 – Willy. Willy knew Jacksonville was going to abandon the run game and let David Garrard throw it all over the place. Tennessee also has the worst pass defense in the NFL. Great start.
Worst Start of the Year…so far: Tedd Ginn Jr. vs. San Diego 9/27 – John: Coming off an 11 catch for 108 yard performance you just knew Ted Ginn was going to suck the next week. He wound up with 0 for 0. It also sucks that John had Santana Moss vs Detroit sitting on his bench. He finished with 10 for 178 and 1.
Biggest Surprise…so far: Desean Jackson: In three games Jackson has 12 for 259 and 2 and a return td. This is a huge surprise because Desean Jackson sucks and is a glorified Devin Hester (in my opinion). He’s also doing this with Kevin “Corn on the” Kolb. Hey Desean, Earth is calling, you guys have a meeting after your bye.
Players who are going to produce for the rest of the year and get you into the playoffs when you wouldn’t believe they could possibly be good: Rashard Mendenhall, Mike-Sims Walker, Brent Celek, Johnny Knox, Donnie Avery (yea, going out on a limb but I think he’s going to be pretty good the rest of the way)
Also, Woody and I have continued our 4-5 year run of making at least one trade per year. I will receive Santonio Holmes while Woody gets Ray Rice. I’m loaded at rb, Woody’s loaded at wr. It’s a good trade that helps us both fill our needs.
Prediction for the Playoffs: Four teams that make it in no particular order: Willy, Woody, Roti, Russo. You can’t stray from DP3. Deviance………..what is it????? ~ NB
