Sunday Night FF Headlines
Who’s making Fantasy News this Past Week?
With key injuries thinning the position, the troubled superstar could suddenly be given the second chance to make good with the team. Marshall has been suspended for the remainder of the preseason, but with the Bronco’s losing wide receiver Jabar Gaffney it most certainly looks as though he’ll have every opportunity to return with the team, if he doesn’t blow it…..
QB Marc Bulger throws during practice….
The Rams quarterback did not participate in practice or take any snaps, but he did throw some balls which is a good sign. Bulger has lost a lot of stock over the past couple of seasons with poor play and he’ll likely to go undrafted in fantasy leagues. While we wouldn’t advise picking him up, he could offer some value later in the season as a bye week fill-in or injury replacement….
QB Brett Favre expected to play entire half Monday night…
It’s been tough to gage the Golden Boy thus far, but Monday night will offer a great opportunity to get a look at what we might expect from Mr. Favre. The Vikings have plenty of talent and if Favre has anything left, he could be a very good back up fantasy quarterback…..
QB Matt Cassel suffers a sprained ankle and MCL…
The Chiefs are still holding their breaths with the loss of Cassel, but the good news is it doesn’t appear to be an extended length of time. There’s been no official report on his injury, but it would be safe to speculate Cassel will be a huge risk to start week one…..
DEF Broncos struggle against Cutler and Bears…
The Bronco’s defense is not a fantasy favorite this season, as it has not been for several. Following Sunday night’s loss to the Bears, the unit did very little to change that perception. The team has too much talent to remain at the bottom, but it could be several weeks before fantasy owners see anything worthwhile……
QB Jay Cutler looks sharp in hostile territory….
The play of quarterback Jay Cutler Sunday night could go a long way and say something about the young man. Sometimes regarded as immature, Cutler played very well in front of a hostile Denver crowd and showed a lot of poise. He did not post huge fantasy numbers, but he was efficient, something fantasy owners might have to become more accustomed to….
QB Matt Hasselbeck appears to be in mid-season form….
The Seahawks quarterback appears healed from his 2008 injury woes and is already showing mid-season form. Hasselbeck missed much of last season and is likely to be a forgotten name in fantasy, but he should not be. In three games this season, Hass has completed 71% of his passes and thrown four touchdowns. Even though he’s likely to be undervalued, he’s got a shot to be a solid QB1 this season…..
