Underperforming studs that could rebound (1 Viewer)

[jdoggydogg]

Which dissapointing stud players do you think will rebound with a nice stretch of solid games?

My list:

Matt Hasselbeck

- In some scoring formats, Hasselbeck is ranked below McNair and Culpepper in fantasy points. With two games against St. Louis, plus a schedule of Oakland, SF, Green Bay, and Arizona, I think Hasselbeck will see some real improvement. The return of TE Jeremy Stevens should also contribute to a better output for Hasselbeck.

Tiki Barber

- No TDs so far for Tiki, but I see that trend reversing. Yes, Jacobs is vultering touches. But Jacobs only has one TD. Barber is averaging over 23 touches per game, and I believe that he will start to earn more TDs.

Chad Johnson

- There are still plenty of weapons in Cincinatti, but I see Johnson as a good buy low candidate. With Chris Henry falling out of favor, Johnson is due for more targets. And as Houshmandzadeh continues to impress, defenses will be forced to cheat more coverage towards TJ.

Randy McMichael

- McMichael isn't having a bad season, but I think he can do better. Who would have thought that McMichael would enjoy his best game in 2006 with Joey Harrington as the starter? Hard to believe it, but it looks like both McMichael and Chambers will be more valuable with Harrington under center.

Of course he is. But every Tomlinson owner had to know that this past three weeks was going to be the roughest of the year.BYE

I am not so sure about Gonzalez. He needs to see more targets before his production increases. In KC's comeback vs. AZ, Tony was only targeted 2 times. That is a telling stat.

Chambers and I hope for mysake Im right

Shaun Alexander.

I don't get the Caddy love. The only time he has done anything was the first third of last year when no one game planned for him. Since then, defenses have held him pretty much in check. I'll never draft him again.

You're not.To me, the biggest is Hasselbeck. He's got to step up, and I'm sure he will.Perhaps the biggest disappointment (but far from surprise) is TO. I don't expect him to step up at all, and in fact when Tony Romo starts in the next few weeks, I expect his production to pick up a bit, but it is quite likely to be too little too late. He may be a good buy low after next weekend's home loss to the Texans, but I wouldn't expect anything beyond WR2 with Romo at the helm.Cadillac is fine and as I said last week would start back on his 100-yd game rampage. He didn't score, but he will next week to go with his Buc+. Sharks tried to scoop him up for petty change in every possible league before last weekend.

Don't bench him this weekend.

You can forget about last year's production, though. It'll be good, but Turner's incredible play will ensure that Tomlinson starts sitting as soon as the game is slightly out of reach. Not hating on LT, just saying what is in SD's best interest. RBBC every time SD approaches garbage time/a big lead.

He rushed for 80 yards or more in six of his last seven games, including three 100-yard games (and one game of 150 yards). Other than a Week 15 dud against NE (14-23) he finished last season pretty well.

I look at that as more of a pro then a con. I'd much rather have Tomlinson getting spelled, resting and staying fresh. Will I see multiple 200+ total yard games? Will I have him staying fresh all year, a near lock for a 100 yard performance week in and week out? With the early bye this year, I was very worried that Tomlinson would break down at the end of the year, with Turner there I don't need to worry about that.

I wouldn't be so quick to get back on the Caddy bandwagon. His shedule from here on out looks pretty brutal. CINCINNATI 1:00 PM CBS Sun. Oct. 22 PHILADELPHIA 1:00 PM FOX Sun. Oct. 29 at N.Y.

Ronnie Brown, starting this week....

 

[zdaddy]

I would like to see what SA can bring to the table when he gets healthy.

 

[zoos]

as a cadillac owner, pitt and chicago scare me but i think none of the other ones are horrific.

chicago during the fantasy playoffs is rough, though.

LT's career touch/game avg = 25.87, LT's '06 touch/game avg = 27.25. Turner is not hurting LT's touch's, the pie is just getting bigger. LT is still on pace for over 425 touch's.

I consider Philly, Giants, New Orleans, Carolina, Dallas, Pitt, Atlanta and Chicago to be pretty good defense.And remember, he's now playing with a rookie QB. Say what you want about Gradkowski's start last week, but there's no way he doesn't have growing pains. The outlook for Caddy doesn't seem all that bright to me.

Against the run: Philly -16thNYG -9thNO - 23rdCAR - 21stWASH - 13thDAL -5thPITT - 10thATL - 2nd CHI - 6th (actually middle of the pack in YPC - but teams have had to abandon the run so quickly)CLE - 26th (would be nice to have in a title game)SEA - 7th (probably irrelevant)I think he's worht hanging onto but he does have a couple of brutal "playoff" weeks.

 

[delusional]

Lets see.

SA: no idea..didnt look sharp before the injury. No running game with Morris there either

Fitz: didn't look great with warner there, now injured

Gates: hopefully they open up the passing game more which they did last week..should rebound greatly

Walker: if plummer gets his head out his ### then yes he should rebound well to expected numbers

Chad Johnson: No idea but talent like that shouldnt be down all year.

CJ and palmer are basically causing me a lost season in one league.

SA Fitz & gates were my 1 2 and 3 picks in another league.

/sigh

CJ

I hope anyways...I just traded for him. :(

CJ

What, other than blind hope, has led you to expect an increase in his numbers? Houshmanzadeh won't suddenly dissapear.

Housh has been there before and Johnson's numbers were fine.Defenses are going to have top pay attention to Housh more.

Henry is out.

CJ's concussion should be well behind him.

And a little blind hope never hurt anyone.
