Freak
of the Week - Week 6
The NFLFreaks Salute the True
NFL Freaks

Hindsight
- Derrick Mason
Prior
to week 6 Mason only had one touchdown on the year, and that came way
back in week 1. On the other hand he had put up at least 98 yards
in 3 of his 5 starts, although his scoring was tarnished by weeks with
only 47 and 4 yards.
Then
came the big explosion. Before the first quarter was even over
Derrick had scored on receptions of 32 and 46 yards. He added a 50
yard touchdown in the 4th quarter and finished with 6 catches for 177
yards and 3 scores.
As
McNair continues to ascend the steps to the throne of fantasy king,
Mason should continue to rise with him. He won't score like this
every week, but last Sunday he was a Freak.

StingRay
- Torry Holt
For
the past couple of years we have been waiting for Holt to turn into the
number 1, dominant receiver in St. Louis. Every year he has been
solid but fallen short of spectacular. This year he has come to
play every week and put up great numbers.
This
week he kicked it up yet another notch. His 11 receptions for 161
yards and 2 touchdowns on Monday Night Football brings his weekly
averages up to 107.4 yards and 1 touchdown per game. The most
impressive part about it is that he's really only played 4 games (any
game where your quarterback can't hold on to the ball long enough to say
receiver, let alone throw to one, shouldn't count). Holt is the
real deal and has showed us why this season, and especially this week.

CrunchTime
- Brad Johnson
Some
may have thought the Bucs won the Super Bowl on defense and coaching
alone. However, it has become apparent that there is another, very
important, piece to that puzzle. Their quarterback.
Johnson
has shown that he is not just a careful quarterback, but a smart,
accurate, productive, and consistent one as well. He has put up at least
20 fantasy points in each week and has posted over 34 in the past two.
Last week he neared the 40 point mark by throwing for 268 yards and 4
touchdowns. Not only that, his quarterback rating was a
mind-boggling 140! Only Manning and McNair have put up more fantasy
points and they have both played and extra game. Johnson is shaping up
to be the steal of the draft and is definitely my Freak of the Week.
