[My Take]
More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy season……
News From Across the Wire...
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals
According to the Arizona Republic, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt stated that the team will not stray from its game plan of throwing deep to their best receiver Larry Fitzgerald, despite the fact that he will almost always draw double coverage.
My Fantasy read on Fitzgerald: Not that fantasy owners were worried, but it’s always good to hear that the coach plans to keep going to your fantasy stud. Hearing this is no surprise, although Fitz was relatively quiet in week one he was targeted 11 times….
Hank Baskett, WR, Indianapolis Colts
The National Football Post reports that former Eagles receiver Hank Baskett has agreed to terms with the Colts. Details of the agreement were not disclosed.
My Fantasy read on Baskett: The signing not only makes sense, but could prove to be much bigger than at first appears. Baskett has not had much opportunity being featured in an offense, but he is more than a capable wideout. With Gonzalez sidelined for several weeks, Baskett will be “One to Watch” in Indy…..
T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR, Seattle Seahawks
T.J. Houshmandzadeh missed his second straight practice with back spasms on Thursday, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
My Fantasy read on Houshmandzadeh: It’s not likely that TJ will miss action on Sunday, but against a tough Niner’s defense it’s questionable as to how effective he will be. Owners should play with caution and may want to consider better options if available……
Steve Breaston, WR, Arizona Cardinals
According to the team's official Web site, Steve Breaston (knee) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday.
My Fantasy read on Breaston: The knee seems to be a problem this early season, so it would not surprise to see the team exercise a little caution especially with Boldin working his way back to health. Breaston is only a celebrated WR3 in some fantasy formats, he’s probably a safe bet for the sidelines this week…..
Darren Sproles, RB, San Diego Chargers
According to the San Diego Union Tribune, the Chargers don't consider Darren Sproles to be a feature back even if LaDainian Tomlinson is out of the lineup.
My Fantasy read on Sproles: It’s sounding more like LT is going to miss Sunday’s action and with the team not endorsing a featured back game plan, expect to see running back Michael Bennett to get some field time. With the Raven’s defense up next, there’s no likely to be a whole lot of ground work, but we still like Sproles on Sunday because of his contributions in the passing game…..
Pierre Thomas, RB, New Orleans Saints
According to his own Twitter account, Pierre Thomas (knee) tweeted that he's ready to play this Sunday.
My Fantasy read on Thomas: With Thomas proclaiming himself ready, it’s a safe bet to expect to see him on the field. It’s almost certain to be a full-blown timeshare with maybe the hot-hand finishing this affair. With this being Thomas’ first game back and facing a tough Eagles defense, owners should not expect a lot…..
