Freak of the Week - Week 11

The NFLFreaks Salute the True NFL Freaks


Hindsight - Lee Evans

Are you serious?  Lee Evans?  Isn't he the 31st ranked receiver in fantasy football?  Not any more.  In fact, Evans' output in week 11 was good enough to vault him to 14th overall in the fantasy standings.

Evans went off so seriously right out of the gate that I had claimed him for my Freak of the Week at the end of the first quarter.  At that point he had 205 yards receiving and a pair of touchdowns.  Now that is a good 15 minutes worth of work.

Evans finished with 11 catches for 265 yards, including a pair of 83 yard touchdown catches. (Useless Trivia - His number is 83.)

I don't need to say much more than that.  That boy was a Freak!

 


StingRay - Travis Henry


On Sunday Travis Henry carried the ball 18 times for 143 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles in a Titans victory.  The week before against the Baltimore Ravens Henry rushed for 107 yards and a score.  In fact, Henry has rushed for over 100-yards in 4 of his last six games.

Travis Henry is one running back who is flying under the fantasy radar and quietly having a very productive season for a back that no one wanted on draft day.


The Sandman - Drew Brees

A lot of fantasy owners stayed away from Brees on draft day since he was coming back from a shoulder injury and the Saints offense was terrible in 2005.  He had such a black mark on him that in many leagues he wasn’t drafted at all. 

Brees has proven that his shoulder is fine and is currently ranked as the third best quarterback in fantasy football.  This week he had a monster game, 37-of-52 for 510 yards and 3 touchdowns.  The 510 yards is an unthinkable number and it makes four straight games that Brees has thrown for at least 300 yards.

Brees has had to prove the critics wrong his entire career and with games like this, he will be drafted in every league next year.
