Fantasy Stud: |
Jerry Porter |
7 Rec 68 Yds 1 TD. Porter is really starting
to get healthy and step up in the Raiders offense. Look for him to
have a bigger second half of the season. |
B |
| . |
Fantasy Dud: |
Randy Moss |
1 Rec 7 Yds 1 TD. Moss is struggling through
injuries and isn't the same receiver. He still has too much potential
to sit on your bench. |

| . |
Geek Watch: |
LaMont Jordan |
Jordan combined for over 100 yards rushing/receiving.
Now he needs to find the endzone. |
B |
| . |
Geek Alert: |
Sebastian Janikowski |
3/3 in FG. He should get plenty of field
goal chances since the Oakland offense can't find the endzone. |
B |
| . |
Misc. Notes: |
Randy Moss |
He just doesn't look like he's 100% and
if you've got some depth at WR, it might be time to bench Moss. |

Geek Watch: |
Larry Johnson |
Larry is the hottest player in fantasy
football and he should be in your lineup every week for the rest of
the year. |
A+ |

Geek Alert: |
Tony Gonzalez |
Tony is not one of the elite Tight Ends
right now. Part of that is age, part is because of how hot L.Johnson
is and part is because he's needed on the offensive line more. |
C |
| . |
Misc. Notes: |
Larry Johnson |
HC Vermiel has so much faith in Larry that
he went for the TD instead of kicking the game tieing field goal. |

Fantasy Stud: |
Chris Brown |
95 yds on 22 carries in a losing effort.
Brown seems to be the No. 1 back for Titans and will not give that
role up. |
B+ |
| . |
Fantasy Dud: |
Courtney Roby |
Weak performance with 1 catch for 29 yrds
in place of Drew Bennett. |
C- |

Geek Watch: |
Erron Kinney |
Kinney had a fine game with 5catches for
74 yards as he exploited Cleveland Linebacking corps. Don't expect
this kind of production each week. |
C+ |
| . |
Geek Alert: |
Roby Williams |
This might be a guy to look for on the
waiver wire, since the Titans are having such a problem with injuries
at the WR position. |

Misc. Notes: |
|
Steve McNair is again limping through another
season. His fantasy value just isn't what it used to be . |

Fantasy Stud: |
Reuben Droughns |
116 yards on 20 carries. 4 catches for
73 yards. Droughns is becoming a workhorse for the Browns. Look for
him to be their feature back down the stretch and and find more scores. |
B+ |
| . |
Fantasy Dud: |
Braylon Edwards |
1 catch for 2 yards. The Browns and Dilfer
need to do a better job of getting this rookie involved in the offense. |
D |
| . |
Geek Watch: |
Dennis Northcutt |
3 rec 80yds 1 TD. Northcutt can have games
like this once in a while, but he no better than a 4th receiver most
weeks. Don't start him against Pitt. next week. |
B |
| . |
Geek Alert: |
Antonio Bryant |
3 rec. 79yds. Bryant keeps on posting numbers
of a quality No. 2 or 3 fantasy receiver. As long as Dilfer is the
QB for Cleveland, he will be the No. 1 target at WR. |

Misc. Notes: |

Jason Wright scored the Browns first rushing
TD of the season. Will he be a goal line threat? We doubt it. |

only 1 interception. |

Marvin Harrison |
Harrisson also had one of his best games
of the season thus far, by catching 9 balls for 128 yards and 2 TDs.
He's still one of the best at his position and should be in your lineup
each week. |
A+ |

Geek Alert: |
Domonic Rhodes |
James should have had another TD, but was
replace in the goal line package by Dominic Rhodes who plunged in
from 4-yards out to give him his third TD of the season. |

Edgerrin James who logged some fantasy

Tom Brady |
Tom Brady had to make his fantasy owners
happy by completing 22 passes for 265 yards and 3 TD and 0 interceptions |
A |
| . |
Fantasy Dud: |
Corey Dillon |
Corey Dillon had a poor game, rushing only
12 times for 40 yards. He also had a fumble in the first half that
really turned the momentum the way of the Colts and dashed a Patriots
scoring opportunity |
C- |
| . |
Geek Watch: |
Deion Branch |
Deion Branch led the way with 5 catches
for 58 yards and an early TD. It seemed like Branch was hot early
and Brady just stopped going to his leading receiver. |
B- |

Geek Alert: |
Troy Brown |
Troy Brown played in this game and made
a decent fantasy contribution with 5 catches for 57 yards and a TD. |
B- |
| . |
Misc. Notes: |
|
Daniel Graham also had a good
fantasy game, catching 5 balls himself, for 41 yards and a TD. It's
just too hard to play a Patriots receiver, other than Branch, because
of their spotty production. . |
