All About the Quarterback.For the majority of us that have been starving for football, yesterday was filled with major storylines all revolving around the Quarterback position.
Josh McDaniels is cementing his legacy early
Don't get me wrong, I think Jay Cutler might be in the running for douche of the year award; but right now he's making Josh McDaniels look like an idiot. Kyle Orton couldn't have had a worse start. 9/16 for 89 yards and 3 interceptions. You have to feel for Broncos fans. They lose Mike Shanahan, get McDaniels. Cutler consistenly rips on Denver, but now Chris Simms might be their savior, yikes. Worst of all, they won't be bad enough that they can hope for Sam Bradford. Fantasy wise, Brandon Marshall went from a bottom-tier #1 option last year, to a solid #2. Now, he may be a bottom-tier #2 fantasy option, unless he gets moved. He can only hope.
Sanchez or Clemens
Regardless of what Rex Ryan says, the belief here is that Mark Sanchez will be the QB of the NY Jets, sooner than later. Not that either are good fantasy options this season, but if Sanchez plays well enough by seasons end, he might be in consideration in deep keeper leagues. Either way, I like Dustin Keller to get a lot of targets this year.
Old Fantasy Stars shine
Marc Bulger and Carson Palmer are so 2006. It seems like so long ago that these guys were fantasy studs, but maybe they can help your team this year. Bulger, I'm nowhere near sold on yet. The line has a lot of new pieces, but they were dreadful last year, and Bulger was just destroyed. Steven Jackson is a beast, and will help out the passing game, but Bulger should go very late in drafts, and may be worth a flyer. Remember, I like Carson Palmer(a potential #1 QB you can get late) and OchoCinco to bounce back this year (http://foprojections.blogspot.com/2009/08/afc-north-fantasy-preview.html). Chris Henry was my sleepr pick for the Bengals and shined last night with 7 catches, 100 yards, and a TD. He is immensely talented, the Bengals only real redzone threat, it's all about staying on the field and out of jail for him.
