Welcome to the first installment of the dog days of summer fantasy football post.  I know 100 is a rounder number but 95 reminds me of my second favorite Bear behind #34 in Richard Dent.  So here is a look at last season’s 95TH highest scorer in fantasy football

2012 #95.

Alex Smith- Smith was injured and never saw the field again when Colin Kaepernick took over for him even though Smith was off to a solid start to the season.  Smith totaled 153 fantasy points with his best outing being Week #6 against the Buffalo Bills when he threw 18-34 for 304 yards 3 TDs and 49 yards rushing.

RETRO #95 2002

– Amos Zereoue- Pittsburgh Steelers 143 fantasty points- Famous Amos was Jerome Bettis 3rd down back who had his best game in the last one of the season against the Ravens rushing 26 times 104 yards and 2 TD’s.  I only remember him because I traded him for a 2nd round pick the following season.

A Look Ahead 2013 #95

ESPN– Bryce Brown-RB Philadelphia Eagles – someone  else will be getting carries besides Shady McCoy in Chip Kelly’s offense

CBS Sports– DeSean Jackson- WR Philadelphia Eagles- Jackson has been disappointing the last two years with Jeremy Maclin the better option most weeks in Philly
