Tight Ends

Last year, for fantasy football, the knock on the Patriots TE’s was that you didn’t know which one to start. I have a suspicion that both may be useful every-week starters this year. Seeing the success the Patriots have with this, I wonder if their tight end focused attack be emulated. I know Baltimore has some young talented TEs. Hm.

Other notes:

*Seeing how bad the Arizona secondary is, I think Kolb will be a good fantasy QB. He’ll be in a lot of shootouts. I’m tempted to spend a waiver claim on him. This could change as Patrick Peterson gets more experience; he has a lot of talent.

*I’m worried about Matt Schaub. I have him in two leagues and I think I overdrafted him. I didn’t think the QBs after him had much value, so I grabbed him. All the elite QBs went too early. I think I’ll regret drafting Roddy White instead of Vick in another league. By the time I was ready to draft again, all the elite QBs were gone. Or maybe I should’ve drafted Brady. (I had Schaub beneath Romo and above Big Ben. I wasn’t as excited about Big Ben as some, especially since in one of my leagues, there are negative consequences for taking sacks.) Anyway, the drafts are done, and I’m worried about the future. I think I might pick up some backup QBs as insurance. (I like Fitzpatrick and Kolb.)

*Wow, there were some exciting kick returns. (I saw the 49ers-Seahawks game.) I’m curious is special teams are suffering because of the lockout. The rookies had less time to prepare. One potential strategy is to pick up D/ST with good kick/punt returners and pray for TDs.

*I’m curious about Fred Davis because I know him from his USC days. He had 105 yards receiving last game, and the only real concern is Chris Cooley getting back to 100% and cannibalizing targets. Okay, and Rex Grossman being Rex Grossman.

*Looks like it’s not necessarily a good idea to stream defenses against Rex Grossman. I forgot that he is ridiculously inconsistent, which means he can have good games too.
