Run for the Hillis!

Ok week three in the NFL is in the bag and some great sleepers have come to light. If Peyton Hillis is available in your league snag him now, he is pure 100% Stud! I was already big on Hillis but after dropping  144yds on the Ravens, he is now bonafide.

anothe good waiver pick up would be Benjarvus Green-Ellis or the Law Firm as he is known. Now that Faulk is out for the season and with Fred Taylor being so dang old it is time for the Law Firm to be the man.....

Picking Up Naanee & Jackson

Just some moves I made in one of My Yahoo! leagues and my though process involved in making the moves...

Sometimes you need to change but you need to research a little to make sure your change actually helps, positive change good, change for the sake of change bad.

I won last week but I still made 3 moves This morning.

Move 1 Drop Kareem Huggins picked up Brandon Jackson

Reason for move 1 Huggins was a sleeper RB pick in our draft, he did not play this week, Jackson is a Green Bay RB who is now their starter because of Ryan Grants Injury, Upgrade

Move 2 Drp Lee Evans Picked Up Legadu Naanee

Reason for move 2 Lee is an accomplished WR in Buffalo but their offense is lackluster, Naanee is a WR in SD whose offense is really active in the passing game, with Vincent Jackson's holdout it appears Naanee is step up to the plate with scoring.

Move 3 Drop David Buehler sign John Kasey

Reason for move 3 I picked Buehler with my last pick in the draft(I always pick a K last, no reason to waste a higher pick, no one has ever won their league because of their K) My thought in taking Buehler was he kicks for the Cowboys he'll get lots of chances... well he got his chances last week and missed every field Goal so I grabbed the veteran Kasey who is going against TB this week and should have plenty of opportunity, I may swap K's a half dozen times in a season.

Week One NFL, Dump Kolb!

OK week one is in the books, and there where quite a few surprises out there.
Two big performers where Arian Foster and Matt Forte. Both should be held on to as they should continue to rack up points, especially Forte, as he is going to have a monster year with Mike Martz calling plays (think Marshall Faulk with the Rams!)


The real big disappointment was Kevin Kolb

Kolb is going to be a messy situation, even before He got hurt Andy Reid kept inserting Micheal Vick in the game. Kolb Left with a concussion completing only 5 passes with a QB rating of 56.2, Vick came in and in the second half found his stride and really made a game of it. Reid claims there won't be a QB battle, but I don't see how their won't be if Vick keeps coming into the game.

I recomend dropping Kolb and picking up either Matt Hassleback, Derek Anderson I might take a flyer on Vick if I already had a decent backup QB.

Carson Palmer Big Value....

I have done a handful a drafts in the past few weeks and I am surprised how undervalued Carson Palmer has been in most drafts. I have drafted him in two different Leagues he fell to 12th round in one league and the 13th in the other. According to Yahoo! Palmer is going in the middle of the elenth round on Average, this is a terrific Value pick to make, I feel Palmer will put up better #s this year than he has lately. I wouldn't be surpised at the end of the year if he is top 5 in passing yards.

Kareem Huggins Update..

For those that took Huggins late in the draft looks like you'll get a payoff, as Tampa Has released Derrik Ward and Huggins has the #2 spot at RB, and we all know how injury prone the "Cadilac" is so its just a matter of games before Huggins is Tampa's #1 RB.

Sleeper WR'S

If your looking for a late round sleeper WR I have two to choose from, first is Greg Camarillo, who just got traded to the Vikings, with Rice out for at least the first 4 games and with Harvin having migraines he could quickly become Farves new favorite target.

My other sleeper is Oaklands Louis Murphy, He should get a chance to start the first few games of the season due to Chaz Schillens injury, if he can perform in the regular season like he has been tearing it up in the preseason he could be a real bargain.
Both Guys are worth a late round flyer..

Football Sleeper Alert: Kareem Huggins

IF your looking for depth on your football roster take a flyer on Tampa's Kareem Huggins. Kareem was undrafted in 2009 and was on Tampa's practice squad. This year he has a legitimate shot to make the team, He has severely outplayed Derrik Ward and has better stats than Cadillac.

So far in preseason action he has 99 yards on 16 carries that's a 6.2 yards a carry and he has been playing in the first half of games, so the competition level is there.

This Hofstra product is definitely worth a late round flyer in your draft!
