General Itals Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 (edited) As usual, well written and insightful. Quite simply, it is the most valuable article written on a fantasy football sitd today. Too bad the powers that be gave it such a cartoonish, garish title. Fortunately, it missed a couple guys I'm targeting, unless it assumed that these guys should already be scooped up in most leagues.

driveby Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 yup. Not bad for a Texas deserter. Have you been peeking at my waiver requests? Oh, and you overlooked Ron Dayne. :shamelesswisconsinhomer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Too bad the powers that be gave it such a cartoonish, garish title. 990023[/snapback] I agree that the old name was better, but my guess is they wanted to go with something that lets you know exactly what information is contained in the article. Makes sense. Great job mama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I was wondering if we'd be seeing the "Trash Can Report" again this year. Nice work, yo mama!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen you around much, Chargerz. I was starting to wonder where I was going to get all my super-secret San Diego homer info from. And thanks, everyone.

loaf Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Another solid effort yo...but you put too much thought into the Dilfer scenario. There are many things debatable about the 2005 Cleveland Browns, but this is not: The Browns are not going to win games when they ask Dilfer to throw 43 passes.

The Holy Roller Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 :doah: I just let Engram go to pick up Booker as a #4. (Looks like someone has to go and make another pickup.....) Nice job Yo, as usual. Keep'em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many things debatable about the 2005 Cleveland Browns, but this is not: The Browns are not going to win games when they ask Dilfer to throw 43 passes. 990634[/snapback] My biggest problem with evaluating QBs right now is that there aren't many on waivers post-draft that are worth much. Frerotte and Dilfer showed the most promise of the QBs that I believed were the most likely to be undrafted before going into Week 1. Since the atypical focus of this article was primarily on players who were likley undrafted in regular leagues, I didn't have much to choose from. Frerotte was pretty obvious, based on his stats. Dilfer was more of a stretch, I admit, but offered more upside than the other QBs in that "likely undrafted" category (Orton? Boller/Wright? Ramsey/Brunell?). Rattay was a contender, but how much of Week 1 was a fluke for the Niners? Edited September 15, 2005 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgaddis Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Nice job Yo...yet again... What are your thoughts on Mr. Alex Smith, the TE...I liked the way he looked in pre-season and was hoping to get him in my keeper league...then he had to go and score 2 TD's in his first game...what are your thoughts???

Excellent, and very perspicacious too. 990970[/snapback] Perspicacious? I would have used "sagacious" there. Wright looked sharp on Monday night. Maybe it was because he had to throw for a ton and they were giving up the ten yard gains to wind the clock down? If there's a Cinderella story this year, my money is on Wright.

I didn't do any substantive research on him, as his two TD peformance last week elevated his profile beyond what I wanted to discuss this week. But I will be taking a closer look at whether Smith sees a nice follow-up in opportunites duringWeek 2, for sure. I also think if Mili's short-term situation does not improve fast Jeremey Steven's first two games' will be worth examing closely.

Wouldn't you think that'll happen in the next few weeks, as they'll have a Week 3 bye to work on things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 This report should be the standard for any type of sleeper/free agent article that gets written. The bar is very high, but there's no "he should do well" or "I've got a feeling"...it's all backed up with solid stats and trends. If I remember correctly, he did pretty good last year with the waiver wire warriors he pegged last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
