Smoke and Mirrors

Really, in fantasy, no one should care right now what someone has done up to this point.  Past stats are meaningless other than as barometers for trading.  What you should be converned about is which players aren't currenlty performing around what their resonable expectations should be for the rest of the year.

Which guys aren't going to keep producing at this level?

Steve Smith, NYG
Brett Favre, MIN
Cedric Benson, CIN
Julius Jones, SEA
Mario Manningham, NYG
Eli Manning NYG

Sensing a theme?  When was the last time Eli was good in November or December?  I didn't say January...

Which guys are underperforming that are locks to turn it around (barring injury, of course)?

Terrell Owens, BUF
Steven Jackson, STL
TJ Houshmandzadeh, SEA
Anquan Boldin, ARZ
Matt Hasselbeck, SEA

I like the Seahawks passing game when Hasselbeck returns from injury.

Notable omissions?

LaDainian Tomlinson, SD
Tomy Romo, DAL
Roy Williams, DAL
Clinton Portis, WAS
Greg Jennings, GB
Eddie Royal, DEN

I just don't see these guys turning it around.  LT looks done, Romo has no receivers, Portis is 28 going on 50, Jennings has no time to get deep, Royal is not involved at all, and Roy Williams should be cut.

Cheers,
TFAM
