So What I Saw in Week 8
Sanchez is Kid Sensation!!….
The jets fell short on Sunday in their effort against the Dolphins, but no one can fault any of the blame on rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Jet’s quarterback was not perfect just missing down the stretch, but for the most part he was once again “Kid Sensation.” Sanchez completed 20 of 35 passes for 265 yards and also tossed two touchdowns; a nice game for the rookie quarterback.
Crabtree already producing….
The Niner’s rookie receiver is not re-writing any record books, but he is turning heads and already producing. Crabtree has only played in two games this season, but he’s already made 11 grabs for 137 yards. In two games Crabtree has seen 15 targets thus far and will likely see a bunch more, expect his production to continue.
It’s Moats time ….
With the Texan’s running back Steve Slaton (7 fumbles in 2009) struggling to hang on to the ball, Ryan Moats has found new opportunity. On Sunday against the Bills Moats carried the ball 23 times for 126 yards and scored three times on the ground. Just for good measure Moats added a couple of grabs for 25 more yards. His strong play on Sunday has some people calling for the switch in the backfield.
Keller breaks out on Sunday….
After five relatively quiet weeks of very little production, the Jets tight end finally busted out of his slump with a big pass receiving day against the Dolphins. Keller caught eight passes for 76 yards and scored only his second touchdown of the season. Keller saw 13 passes in his direction on Sunday, so his days in a slump could be ending soon.
Worst of the Worst
On Sunday there weren’t too many that were as bad as the Brown’s quarterback Derek Anderson. Against the Bears Anderson only completed six of 17 passes for a pedestrian 76 yards with two interceptions.
For Steve Slaton owners it couldn’t get any worse on Sunday. The Texans running back finished the game with just three touches for 11 yards and a lost fumble.
Coming off a huge game against the Rams a week ago, there was nothing but disappointment for Mike Sims-Walker fantasy owners yesterday. The Jaguars receiver caught just two passes for nine yards.
Jury is still Out
With so much promise surrounding the arrival of Jay Cutler to Chicago, many fantasy owners were expecting to see the rise of tight end Greg Olsen. In seven games this season Olsen has just 22 receptions and has yet to breakout. On Sunday he again was quiet catching just three passes for 40 yards.
