I'm sure you haven't watched even 5 snaps of the Bucs this year, but they're going to have a top-10 defense, and maybe even better. They're going to win a lot of games based off of the defense alone. And Freeman is legit.

I've been high on Freeman since last season.But then I also thought Alex Smith would have a great season this year.So I'm back to being no better than a coin flip.steelwind said:

Courtesy of Sunday Ticket I've watched both games this year and I've been very surprised at how good they are, especially on defense. Their running game is still not good, but their defense is nasty and will be talked about as a sleeper top 5 D next year like the niners were this year. Agree about Freeman as well.

That Michael Vick actually fits better as the starting QB for the Eagles than Kevin Kolb. Because of Vick, defenses have to key in on his running ability and it's opening all sorts of holes for McCoy and Jackson.
That when Kolb comes back, downgrade all fantasy players in the Eagles offense.

Everyone making a bid deal about KC and the Tampa being 2-0. Not me. Both got wins over the horrible Browns. KC's other win was in front of a charged up MNF home crowd in bad weather they won in large part on special teams plays. I felt going into that game KC against the Chargers that KC would win. Tampa beating a bad looking Carolina team in it's other win is also not real impressive to me. Tampa will end up 1-2 after this week and a losing record on the season. KC on the other hand I think will continue to benefit from the early schedule.
I'm more surprised at the quality of 0-2 teams and overall parity in the league. More than half the league is 1-1. After just two measly weeks we are going to be down to 7-8 undefeated teams. Can't remember such a short amount so soon. This also makes the situation for a lot of those strong 0-2 teams not nearly as dire. For instance as shocked as Dallas is to be 0-2 they are also only one game out in the division.

Yeah, I would have thought everyone knew that 5 years ago.

People could have seen the Bucs beating Cleveland and Carolina.And that the Vikes could lose to NO & MIA was forseeable too. Compare their schedule last year.But DAL losing to WAS & CHI; that surprises me and probably a lot of people would not have called that.

Same boat here.

Was and Chi have some pretty good defenses

Top 5 RBs in PPR after first two weeks:
1. Jahvid Best
2. Arian Foster
3. LeSean McCoy
4. Matt Forte
5. Darren McFadden
(with Pierre Thomas left to go on MNF, but he'll need a big week to jump into the Top 5)

And they BOTH beat the browns, quite possibly the worst 0-2 team in NFL history...

fine, but please agree the chiefs are an absolutely atrocious 2-0 team.

I called Tampa going 9-7 and making the playoffs as my bold prediction this year.

The first four are for real and really shouldn't be a surprise in PPR. Martz' HBs always catch a lot of passes; he turned Kevin Jones into a PPR monster until he got hurt. McCoy too is playing in a very HB pass happy offense. McFadden won't last, however. When Bush comes back he will lose a good amount of touches. Whether the split will be 60/40 or 40/60 or 30/70, right now he is splitting with no one. And many of us still think Bush is a better three down back.
and that they'd still be flying under folks radar at this point. have heard some, but not a lot, talk about the quality of the steelers. to do what they've done against two decent teams with a 3rd or 4th string QB is incredible.
