Sunday
Sunday Spotlight
I am just spotlighting a couple of Sunday plays this week that I happen to
fancy.
After his week one dud, fantasy owners are probably ready
to toss the Browns big tight end, Gary Barnidge to the side, but hold on there.
Last week was with Robert Griffin III under center and this week there has been
a change. With the likely season-ending injury to RGIII in week one, the Browns
will have journey-man quarterback Josh McCown under center this Sunday. For
fantasy owners of Barnidge, with McCown calling the signals there is hope.
Last season with McCown throwing to him, Barnidge was a
weekly top-10 fantasy play and a big reason for the tight end finishing as one
of fantasy's top tight ends. Last week Barnidge was a big goose end only seeing
two targets, owners can expect a big reversal this Sunday. He should be plenty
involved in the pass game and his large frame makes him a solid red-zone
target.
His Sunday line; 6 receptions, 75 yards and a touchdown.
The Giants will be playing host to the traveling Saints
today and if you own any Giants get them in your lineups today; even the
waterboy could get in for a score. While the popular plays will be the regular
starters, one play I am high on is the return of wide receiver Victor Cruz.
Last week Cruz found the end zone against the Cowboys and
this week I expect a return trip against the Saints. Cruz could see a few more
targets than the four he saw last week facing a Saints secondary that was
abused last week for over 300 yards in the air. With Odell Beckham Jr drawing a
lot of the attention, I look for Cruz to slip into the top 20 this week with a
solid receiving day.
His Sunday line; 5 receptions, 80 yards, and a touchdown
That's my take
