The
Sandman - John Kasay
It
is very rare that a kicker will be made a Freak-of-the-Week but you have
to look at how John Kasay has produced this year. First off, he is
17-of-17 in field goal attempts and 6 of them have been from 45 yards or
greater. Just ask the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots how
important this type of consistency is. Secondly, he's made overtime
kicks against the Saints, Colts and Buccaneers, all on the road. Every
year a few kickers lead a charmed life with scoring; this season, Kasay
is one of those guys. This from a guy who wasn't even drafted in most
leagues.

StingRay
- Domanick Davis
When
Stacey Mack was benched two weeks ago and Davis was named the starter
many of your freaks including yours truly immediately picked him up. In
his first start he had 199 yards combined against the Jets but Mack was
the one who scored two touchdowns. On Sunday, Davis had 25 carries for
109 yards except this time it was his turn to score two touchdowns. (He
also had 7 receptions for 27 yards.)
You have to love a back who rushes over a 100 yards in both of his first
two starts. What makes him so valuable is the amount of times he touches
the ball. He touched the ball 32 times this week and the week before he
touched the ball 36 times. Right now Davis might be the best waiver wire
pick up of the season. If he's still available in your league get him
now!

Smokin'
Joe - Tampa Bay Defense
Everyone
had the Bucs ranked number one this pre-season and if you drafted them
you must have jumped early to pick them up. This past Sunday they faced
a Dallas offense that was averaging over 333 yards per game. Ronde
Barber was the only healthy player in the secondary who started last
year’s Super Bowl and it looked like the Bucs could be in big trouble.
How did they respond? They pitched a shutout and held the Cowboys to a
season low 178 total yards from scrimmage. Add on the four sacks and two
interceptions they racked up and you have a defense that won quite a few
fantasy games for their owners on Sunday and my "Freak of the
Week."
