QUICK TAKES
Not Yet A Believer
After watching the Cardinals offensive line failure on Thursday night, I would have to say the jury is still out on quarterback Kevin Kolb. While the former Eagle looked capable and did a good job of getting the ball out quickly and all of his throws had plenty of zip, fantasy owners will still have to worry about his line keeping him upright each week. After 17 sacks in the team’s last two games, the proposition of protecting Kolb does not look very promising. As long as Kolb operates without a dependable run game to support his cause (Cards are ranked 31st in the league), the sack barrage is likely to continue.
I’ll Take his Word
After hearing Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones proclaim his hand is fine and he’s ready to go, I am ready to take his word. Jones broke out in week one like gang-busters with a huge fantasy game (22 fantasy points) and since has been hot and cold. After injuring his hand in week 3 Jones had what would be considered an off day, finishing week 4 with one catch for 30 yards. With the hand healing and the talent that Jones possesses, if he’s says he’s ready to go you have to like his chances, especially with his week 5 matchup against the Redskins 31st ranked defense that has allowed the most touchdown passes in 2012; 11 allowed in four games.
I Like His Chances
Through the first four weeks of the 2012 season, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has made me a believer in what he is capable of doing. His numbers don’t jump off the board, but they are steady and improving. Manning has averaged nearly 22 fantasy points a game this season and is coming off his best performance last week against the Raiders with 31 (fantasy points). With the Patriots next on the slate with their 25 ranked passing defense, Manning looks primed to continue his hot hand.
