America just loves comebacks. In a league where comebacks can strike forcefully at any given moment, fantasy owners can agree that it makes the game interesting. During the first half, the quarterback is practically kicked to the curb.
The second half comes around and he is blessed by throwing 150 yards and two touchdowns. This scenario is not uncommon in the National Football League.
The Comeback Kids
Tony Romo can make or break the Cowboys week-to-week.
One game, he puts the team on his back with a punctured lung; the next, he throws a heart-breaking three interceptions. Matthew “D-boy” Stafford took quite an advantage from Romo’s mishaps.
He came back from a 17-7 deficit, throwing for 240 yards and two TD’s in the Lions 34-30 victory.
Many fans despise and judge Eli Manning because of his goofy, nonchalant approach on the field.
He shows no expression at all. This really means nothing when he played the way he did against Arizona.
Coming back from 20-10, Peyton’s little brother threw two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to ice his 31-27 win over the Cardinals.
Philadelphia’s dream team is having serious nightmares as we speak, after a gut wrenching 1-3 record.
Michael Vick had a far more superior game than Alex Smith, throwing for 416 yards and two touchdowns.
Alex Smith pulled out a comeback kid moment, however, leading his team to a 24-23 victory with an impressive 291 yards and two touchdowns.
Under the Cruzar
Andy Dalton (Cincinnati Bengals)- Although he played a very weak Bills defense, Dalton rushed and threw for a touchdown to go along with his 298 yards passing. In a thin league, Dalton is a solid backup with potential. Who Dey?
Willis McGahee (Denver Broncos)- “What you talking about Willis?” I’m talking about picking up McGahee after running for 103 yards against a solid Green Bay defense. McGahee is the
Thomas Jones of the Broncos, if this makes any sense. He takes the workload, but flies under the radar.
Do not be surprised if Knowshon Moreno loses the starting job to Willis. Blue Collar Back.
Pierre Garcon (Indianapolis Colts)- Finally, a Colts player that has had a productive game. Garcon is also the only explosive player they have on the team.
Curtis Painter will come into his own and make Garcon a favorite target.
With 148 yards and two touchdowns, he is an easy steal for many owners. He would have had a touchdown and at least 100 yards in week three if Painter had overthrown him. Haitian Sensation.
The Trash Bin
Hines Ward (Pittsburg Steelers)- What happened to the big smile I always see on Ward’s face? After his 19-yard game last week, it looked more like a frown. I do not know if Ward is worth starting anymore.
He is a lot older and seems to be fading in the limelight of Mike Wallace. Ketchup: no Heinz.
C.J. Spiller (Buffalo Bills)- I consider him a less talented Reggie Bush.
With Fred Jackson dominating defense, Spiller is a distant memory of the Buffalo’s offense, simply because Jackson does the same thing just as good, and then some. Drop Spiller like a bad habit. Spill Spiller.
Mario Manningham (New York Giants)- When Manningham comes back, I highly doubt they will use him.
Victor Cruz (no relation to Fantasy Cruz) is that second receiver they needed.
He is showing utter dominance in Tom Coughlin’s offense.
Manningham is fourth bench receiver, at best, in an 18-man league. No more M&M.
Bashing Braylon
I would never wish an injury upon any professional athlete because it destroys their livelihood.
Braylon Edwards is out for three more weeks with a knee that he is going to get surgery on.
Maybe it is time I move on to bashing another player and let Edwards R.I.P: recover in peace.
