KYLE ORTON POSTS A HUGE NUMBER ON SUNDAY
The Bronco’s signal caller passed for 476 yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts in the team’s 27-13 loss on Sunday. Orton used 57 passes on the day to post his huge numbers, but struggles in the red-zone kept the Bronco’s off the board limiting his overall production.
My Fantasy Read:
Without a healthy Knowshon Moreno the Broncos may struggle to find their ground game, but their 2010 passing game is no anomaly. It’s a safe bet to expect Orton to continue his flourishing ways in the short passing game. He may not launch another 57 passes, but he should continue to complete a high percentage, chew up the yards, and the team is bound to improve in the red-zone.
LANCE MOORE HAS BIG DAY IN LOSS TO FALCONS
Without their explosive running back Reggie Bush, the Saints looked to another source for playmaking on Sunday and found wide receiver Lance Moore. Against the Falcons Moore caught six passes for 149 yards and found paydirt twice.
My Fantasy Read:
With Bush out, it’s no surprise that Brees was able to find another go to especially Moore. Remember in 2008 Moore was his main target with 79 receptions and 10 touchdowns. On Sunday Moore led the team with seven targets and should continue to be a regular source of production.
PEYTON HILLIS POUNDS THE RAVENS ON SUNDAY
The Brown’s running back Peyton Hillis became the team’s featured back on Sunday against the Ravens. Hillis carried the ball 22 times for more than 140 yards on the ground against one of the leagues toughest defenses. He also added seven receptions for another 36 yards.
My Fantasy Read:
Hillis basically proved he can be a dependable and impressive every down back. Even when Harrison returns, expect to see Hillis carry the brunt of the load. He should be a dependable fantasy option going forward.
JABAR GAFFNEY FLOURISHES AGAINST THE COLTS
The Bronco’s receiver is no stranger to McDaniel’ system and on Sunday he was a huge benefactor catching 12 passes for 140 yards. It was a breakout game for Gaffney who is tied for the team lead with 17 receptions.
My Fantasy Read:
Gaffney was targeted a team high 14 times on Sunday, This is probably not something he will see too much more of going forward (at least not that many targets in a game), but as the team's passing has success so should Gaffney. He’ll have some value in deeper leagues, but owners may want to hold off rushing to the wires just yet.
