Fantasy Freaks...DP reeled off a first week victory over the Barhawks...71-56... thank you Tony Romo... this week's opponent: Always a Winner--(Kurt Warner, Ryan Grant, Dallas Clark)...
A late breaking story from draft day-- I'm in a different league this year and signed up just before we all chose players. One of the other people in the Carpet Yard League (don't ask) mentioned to one of my friends..."hey is that THE DAVE PRESTON? That's not fair--he's a professional! I might drop out...". Hello? Now let the record show- I've been called "up and coming Dave Preston" (early broadcasting career), "the other Dave" (high school), even "that guy" (never a good thing) before, but never have I had an article fronting my name. Sometimes progress is measured in the darnedest things.
The challenge over the first month of any fantasy league is to differentiate the hot starts; Jason Campbell got off to a hot start he couldn't sustain while Aaron Rodgers continued to produce throughout the season. There will be plenty of players available on the waiver wire-- especially as teams reconfigure for various bye weeks. The key is separating the wheat from the chaff.
Quarterback quandary: in the time-honored tradition of DP's QB's not being OK-- BOTH Tony Romo and Matt Schaub have ankle injuries entering week two (at least it's the same body part as opposed to a shoulder and a knee). Both face tough defenses: Romo plays the NY Giants while Schaub takes on Tennessee. However, the Titans have a few more days to prepare for the Texans, making Romo the educated choice (plus he played MUCH BETTER in week one). In other positional switches...I'm probably going with Jets TE Dustin Keller over Pittsburgh's Heath Miller.
