If your like me I was punched in the stomach twice Thursday night, first the Bears were disappointing to put it mildly. Second, what happened to the shoot out? Every player should have been a start in your league and none of them performed. What to do now? Do you stick with your regular starters or do you throw a fantasy Hail Mary and put some high risk high reward guys in order to make up from the stench that was Jay Cutler in your starting lineup. In the I should have known better….I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER than start Cutler on a Nationally Televised game in Lambeau Field, my team has some work to do to get the W this week! Here are my week #2 rankings.
QuarterBacks
Stud- Cam Newton. Cam is an RG3 older replica! Cam can put up huge numbers against the Saints D
Dud- Michael Vick- Could be without Maclin and Jackson. Even with them the Ravens D is better than the Browns D!
Sleeper- Ryan Fitzpatrick- Matt Ryan torched the KC secondary. Buffalo will try to repeat the feat.
Running Backs
Stud- Adrian Peterson- He returned with 2 TD’s. The Bears were able to run against Indy, expect a big day from AP
Dud-Kevin Smith- He scored against the Rams.. Don’t expect that this week in the City by the Bay
Sleeper- Steven Ridley- Should get at least one rushing TD in a Patriot blowout
Wide Receiver
Stud- Reggie Wayne- tons of targets from Luck and Collie will be out at least another week
Dud- DeSean Jackson- May not play and if he does will be shut down by Ravens D
Sleeper- Danny Amendola- Will get a lot of targets from Bradford
Tight End
-Stud- Antonio Gates- If he gets on the field which he should he will find the end zone (monitor his status0
-Dud- Dennis Pitta- The Monday night hot waiver wire pickup will struggle at Philly
-Sleeper-Coby Fleener- Last weeks Dud will have a big game against Minnesota
Defense
-Stud- Cincy- Until further notice whatever defense gets to play against Weeden will be the #1 defense of the week
-Dud- NY Jets- No Revis and on the road should lead to a long day in Pittsburgh
-Sleeper- Dallas- On the road but against a rookie QB could lead to a lot of sacks and turnovers!
Who are you studs, duds and sleepers in Week #2? Good luck this week and never let your opponent out work you!
