Freak of the Week - Week 7

The NFLFreaks Salute the True NFL Freaks

StingRay - Kenny Watson

The Cincinnati Bengals finally get a much needed win and it wasn’t because of Carson Palmer, T.J. Houshmanzadeh or Chad Johnson. Kenny Watson got the start over the injured Rudi Johnson and boy did Watson deliver.  He carried the ball 31 times for 130 yards and 3 touchdowns. 

Congratulations to all who grabbed Watson off of the waiver wire because he was a fantasy stud on Sunday.

 

 

Smokin' Joe - DeMeco Ryans

Not everyone plays in Individual Defensive Player leagues (IDP) but if you do you know how great it is to see one of your players do what DeMeco Ryans did on Sunday.

He posted "The Play" - a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery
for a touchdown. That one play alone is worth 20 points and then you add on his 9 tackles, a second fumble recovery and his total climbed to 34 points.

I did not play Ryans this week, my opponent did, and now I need Peyton Manning to try and match DeMeco's output so I can pull out a win.

 

 

CrunchTime - Randy Moss

This weekend Moss really impressed me with his 4 receptions for 122 yards and 2 touchdowns.  I realize that Moss didn’t have the best numbers among New England receivers (Welker had 5 more catches and 16 more yards) but it was the way he made his plays that was completely ridiculous.

His first two catches (both for scores) were complete jump balls. On one he rose up above the opposing defenders to get his hands on it, on the other he seemed to catch it with his elbow in a similar type play. While I admit it probably wasn’t his elbow, it doesn't change how sweet the play was.

What made this such a great fantasy display was that he showed he’s going to produce whatever the situation, and is building on the trust with Brady that will lead to more jump ball opportunities in the future.

 

 

The Sandman - Priest Holmes

Anyone who has been playing fantasy football more than three or four years remembers how dominant Holmes was so it was nice to see him back on the field this week.  He didn’t do anything special, 4 carries for 9 yards, but the important thing was that he got back on the field for the first time in nearly two years.
