not to mention the first week is the best time to get a good player...
So who's feeling good about spending a large portion of their FAAB on Cassel, Morris, or mystery TE this morning? I believe Boldin is the exception, not the rule...how many players go nuts in week 1 and are never heard from again? Last year it was Chris Brown and Ronald Curry.
Kurt Warner (99) threw for 300+ yards and 3 TDs in week 1; Cassell played game-manager against a crummy Dolphins squad.
Colston is another outlier...if you spent 80% of your budget on him in the first 3 weeks of 2006, you're either psychic or lucky...Bernard Berrian had nearly identical stats through 6-7 games (before Grossman imploded).
For every Boldin/Colston, there is a Ryan Grant, who did not explode onto the scene until week 8 last year.
I'm not saying you pass on a player if he fills a true need....
I'm just saying that rushing to quick judgement based on a small sample size can come back to bite you.
