Preseason Week 3: Late Hits

 A few thoughts from the third week of preseason games.
I don’t believe Bill Belichick one bit. I’m not saying Tom Brady is really hurt, but I don’t expect Mr. Half-Sleeve Hooded Sweatshirt to be completely forthcoming either.
New Orleans is going to be really good on offense. Drew Brees will probably be the biggest benefactor, but [...]

ESPN Rankings 86-90

86. Carson Palmer, Cincinnati, QB
Full disclosure:  I’m a huge Bengals fan. So I might be a bit biased, but I think Carson Palmer is poised for a huge year. If he stays healthy – and that might be a problem considering he’ll start the season with an ankle sprain – he’s in great shape fantasy-wise. [...]

A Quick Word on Sanchez

Rookie Mark Sanchez is going to start for the New York Jets. Whup -TEE – Doo. Sanchez is a pretty terrible fantasy pick this year so I wouldn’t get too excited. He’s playing in a run-first offense with three capable running backs (Thomas Jones, Leon Washington, Shonn Greene) and his wide receivers are unproven outside [...]

ESPN Rankings 81 – 85

We’re chugging our way toward 100, with ESPN’s rankings followed by my analysis.
81. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh, QB
Legal matters aside, Ben should have an otherwise solid season for Pittsburgh. He has good weapons in Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Limas Sweed and Heath Miller, and is capable of scoring a few TDs running the ball as well. [...]

ESPN Ratings 76-80

75. Jay Cutler, Chicago, QB
Cutler played pretty well in his last preseason game and has developed a pretty good rapport with tight end Greg Olsen and his old college teammate Earl Bennett (who might be a pretty good sleeper this year). I like Cutler to finish in the top 10 this year, ahead of Matt [...]

ESPN Ratings 71-75

After a brief Brandon Marshall-style hiatus, I’m back with more ESPN Rankings and my analysis.
71. Antonio Bryant, Tampa Bay, WR
Someone is going to catch passes in Tampa Bay, but I don’t like the offense and I don’t like Bryant to score many touchdowns. I’d much rather have Santana Moss or Cedric Benson who are ranked [...]
