As Seen on TV

You regulars know the Monday morning column on this site is dedicated to everything that I saw on TV yesterday that will help fantasy owners going forward.  I try to focus on things you may not see in the box score, but I do try and point out eveything important, so you don't havr to go box score hunting either.

Pierre Thomas value rises with the goal line carry.  I was wondering if there would be a new Mike Bell this year.  So far, there isn't.

About that Kevin Kolb prediction?  Well, four out of five for the hunch ain't bad.  Still, Kolb looked awful before the injury.

Ronnie Brown gets the goal line.  No surprise.  Ricky will get a few too.

Brandon Marshall still drops a lot of passes.  Ditto Terrell Owens.

The Lions are in trouble without Matt Stafford offensively.  Best and Calvin were total non-factors (and were with Stafford actually).  Best just got two shorties to save his fantasy day.

Bears WR/TE targets....Aromashodu 10, Knox 7, Olsen 6, Hester 1.  Yep.

Fred Taylor is the back you want in New England if you have to have one for now.  Let's wait to see who gets the goal line.

Carson Palmer looked very ordinary until he got the garbage time yards.

I saw Bradshaw and Jacobs in the game for New York inside the five yard line.  Bradshaw got the score, but Jacobs seems to be a good bet for 5-10 scores too, just not the yardage.

Buffalo is just terrible.  RIP CJ Spiller.

How about Hillis and Harrison getting equal touches in Tampa?  I guess Eric Mangini doesn't like that Harrison put up monster stats late last year.  I'd still rather have Jerome, but it's close.

Brandon Jackson is just as good (or bad) as Ryan Grant.

I don't see much reason to think Arian Foster isn't going to be very good all year.  Schaub and Andre will rebound too.

San Francisco, just wow.  Mike Singletary really let everyone down.  They looked like the worst team in the league yesterday.  Let's be patient.

The Cowboys running game is a fantasy mess.  You want Barber, then Jones, then Choice, but none are going to have much value until one or more get hurt.

It's very easy to see that Dez Bryant is better than Roy WilliamsDez absolutely has fantasy value.

Matt Forte is a great sell high candidate.  I just don't see that kind of production all year.  I'd hold in PPR leagues, sell in the rest.  He still can't cash in at the goal line, and Chester is going to steal some of those receptions.

Jay Cutler, on the other hand, is very much going to be a top 10 QB.

Cheers,
TFAM
