One week wonders?
Week One Heroes who sunk
1. Maybe they were fluky: Anthony Fasano didn’t have a catch Sunday. Dante Rosario only had a six-yard catch. Randy McMichael had two catches for 24 yards.
2. Marvin Harrison owners should be concerned that he’s pouting like the playoffs and that Anthony Gonzalez looks like the better player.
3. Reggie, Reggie, Reggie is averaging 3.3 yards-per-carry on the season. The receiving numbers and punt return touchdown absolutely save him, especially in PPR leagues, but let’s not get carried away talking about his maturation just yet.
4. Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood learned what life can be like with a rookie quarterback facing a real NFL defense. They went from 313 yards and three scores to 60 yards. Thud.

I ranked Bush very high last week, far far higher than those two, and will continue to do so. There's no doubt though he's a better fantasy player than reality, which is ok to talk about too. It's fine if he doesnt develop on the ground, but that limits him.
And if anti-Brown or Maroney talk gets you going, check out the column today or the post above.

Is Rotoworld ready to give up on Antonio Bryant as a WR3 yet?? :)
Ugh, why didn't Brandon Jacobs hardly get any carries in the second half? Thought it was going to be a tasty matchup. Taking Jacobs over Brandon Marshall was my biggest draft day gaffe. :\

Gregg, one week wonders are great and all, but I am more curious about how you feel about the anointed one ... Jay Cutler.
Seriously, I just had a Manning owner offer me Peyton straight up for Cutler and Jay is looking so good I am actually thinking twice about it.

ive been preaching cutler for a couple years now. glad to see how rotoworld caught on in th preseason, no other fantasy site did. his rapport with marshall has been ongoing since his rookie season.

ok gregg ur off the hook, but i think its fair to say that ronnie and maroney have been on ur deans list for maybe a little too long. maroney has never been reliable and that acl surgery is cleary hampering ronnie. he really didnt look like '07 ronnie yesterday. hopfully next year hell be back good as new.
