This isn’t going to be as wordy as most of my stuff – but it might just give you a life line moving forward…
Guys I like to pick up this week…
Brady Quinn – He’s intriguing, what can I say? It’s not like his offense doesn’t have talent, and I’ll promise he’s more accurate than Derek Anderson – that right there is enough for me.
Tyler Thigpen – One day I’ll learn not to pull the trigger on Coastal Carolina quarterbacks, but not this time. Nope. Tyler has some very good passing match-ups coming up here, he might help a fool down the line.
Sage Rosenfels – You bet. I don’t think the Texans lose that much with Sage coming in for Matt – a little, yes, but not that much. Sage will still put the ball in the air a lot.
Timothy Hightower – His name says toughness, his running style does to – but don’t get crazy over this kid – don’t give up a lot to get him – they played one of, if not the worst run defense in the league last week, a D giving up 150+ on the ground. He’s a solid pick-up, but he’s not a sure thing starter every week.
Jamal Charles – This kid is fast and you know the Chiefs will give him the ball. KC is doing everything they can to rid themselves of Larry Johnson, and Charles is fast enough to break a run against solid defenses. That being said, he plays for the Chiefs and I’m not in love with the guy. I might rather have Jerious Norwood, and he’s a back-up.
Ryan Torain – I actually like him more than Charles. Pittman and Hall are out for the year, Torain has lots of upside, Selvin Young doesn’t seem to be a favorite of Splinter. If Young’s on your waiver wire, he might be worth an addition as well.
Joe Flacco – I like the kid. He might not have many weeks like he did last time around, but I like the kid to do some right and very little wrong. He’s solid.
Sammy Morris – when he comes back he’ll be the guy getting all those Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis carries. The Patriots will continue to run the ball with Tom out for the year.
Guys I don’t like besides recent adding activity…
Rex Grossman – I’m off his fan bus.
Cedric Benson – I know he has a nice game, but Benson doesn’t do it for me.
Kevin Boss – This guy killed me too much to start the year, he’s too good at blocking for a team with lots of receiving options.
Guys I wouldn’t drop just yet…
Josh Morgan – I don’t like that he dropped a ball and got benched, that seems like a joke, but the kid has skills and could be nice the rest of the year. Wait a week on him.
Matt Schaub – unless you are dying for a roster spot and need lots of wins in these next few weeks before playoffs, I would try to hold on to Matt – he’s solid.
