Giants WR Hakeem Nicks Is Catching Up in the Rookie Ranks

Heads up fellow Michael Crabtree enthusiasts: He is getting his first start for the 49ers after a whole two weeks of practice. Do not be surprised if Crabtree impresses in his first opportunity against the weak secondary of the Texans.

There are other rookies that have been working hard to contribute to their teams, but a few did drop in the rankings this week due to disappointing performances.

 

1. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos : Moreno just keeps plugging away for the 6-0 Broncos. His stats did not jump off the page versus the Chargers, but he is consistent. Moreno will hold the top spot on the Rookie Report until another rookie takes it from him.

2. Percy Harvin , WR, Vikings : Harvin had another off-week for the Vikings, with only two receptions for 10 yards, but he still is second in receptions and third in touchdown receptions among his rookie peers. Harvin also contributes on special teams, making him even more valuable to owners of the Vikings’ DST.

3. Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants : Nicks was the lone bright spot in the Giants’ loss to the Saints last Sunday in the Superdome. Nicks led the team with five catches for 114 yards and one touchdown. That is three weeks in a row that Nicks has found the end zone for the Giants.

4. Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets : Sanchez still is riding the performances from the first three weeks of the season. He threw five interceptions against the Bills in his team’s loss on Sunday. If Sanchez does not improve his play, he may find himself off this list of top fantasy rookies.

5. Austin Collie, WR, Colts : Collie did not make this list last week, but due to weak performances from his rookie peers he cracks the top five. As long as Anthony Gonzalez is injured, Collie should move up this list. Once Gonzalez is healed—Hallelujah! for AGonzo owners—Collie will likely fall down the Colts’ depth chart.

 

Last Week’s Rookie Report Rankings :

1. Knowshon Moreno
2. Mark Sanchez
3. Percy Harvin
4. Hakeem Nicks
5. Jeremy Maclin

Fantasy Football Fools with Lessons from the Blogger League

I could not have said it better myself.

Fantasy Football Fools offers some advice this week for those fantasy owners staring at the black hole that is an 0-6 start to the fantasy season. It certainly does not get any worse than that after six weeks, but there are some things fantasy owners can do to prevent that from happening this weekend.

We offered some record-specific fantasy advice for fantasy owners after the first three weeks of the season. Some teams are much more desperate now for a win than they were back then and desperate times call for desperate measures.

Meanwhile, a quick update on the blogger league: All of teams are separated by just one game of each other. Half the league is 3-2, the other half 2-3.

Talk about parity. It should make for an interesting run to the playoffs.

Sleeper Kyle Orton Ready to Wake Up for Fantasy Teams

There are some big names on bye this weekend which means you may be searching the waiver wire or the depths of your roster for players to fill in your starting lineup.

There may be some big names rusting on the waiver wire that teams have given up on over the course of the first five weeks.

 

Kyle Orton, QB, Broncos

Orton has had a solid season thus far and it should continue against a soft Chargers defense on Monday Night Football. The Broncos defense will continually put Orton in good spots on the field, which could lead to a big day passing for Orton.

 

Jonathan Stewart, RB, Panthers

The Panthers are near death, but luckily they play the equally-as-dead Buccaneers this week. The Bucs are already thinking about next season’s draft, which should lead to big days for both DeAngelo Williams and Stewart. Stewart is always a threat in the red zone and could find the end zone a few times.

 

Donnie Avery, WR, Rams

There is some life in Avery after all. He found the end zone last week and is facing the Jaguars defense that gave up four touchdown passes to Matt Hasselbeck. Somebody has to score for the Rams, and Avery is the best option through the air for Marc Bulger.

 

Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions

Pettigrew is the top tight end in Detroit and he is playing against a Packers defense that has yet to prove they can be consistent. Culpepper is likely to be the starter and he may lean on his tight end when he gets in trouble.

Week 6 Waiver Wire Advice: Get Miles Austin

The week of the wide receiver has come and gone. Hopefully you had at least Roddy White in your starting lineup.

Several of the wide receivers who exploded in Week Five were not rostered in a majority of fantasy leagues.  But they will be the most popular additions this week when waivers are processed tomorrow.

And it all starts with the man who filled in for Roy Williams in Dallas …

Miles Austin, WR, Cowboys:

Austin figures to be the most popular free agent acquisition in fantasy football this week after a monster 10-catch, 250-yard, two-touchdown effort against the Chiefs in Week Five.

Now that the Cowboys plan to get Austin more involved in the passing game, Roy Williams’ fantasy owners may start to panic.  And rightfully so after watching Austin catch-and-run through the entire Kansas City secondary at will.

Sammy Morris, RB, Patriots:

Morris’ yardage output against the Broncos does not jump off the page. 68 yards rushing, 39 yards receiving.  Average numbers from a fantasy perspective.

What should jump off the page for fantasy owners are the number of touches he received: 19 total (17 carries, two receptions).  With Fred Taylor out for a significant amount of time, Morris is in line to get a good deal of work in a productive offense.

Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles:

In Donovan McNabb’s first game since injuring his rib back in Week One, Maclin turned in a spectacular effort during the week of the wide receiver.

Overshadowed by the performances of Austin and Roddy White, Maclin’s could be more impressive in that it appears he has established himself, a rookie, as a starter on the Eagles offense.  If so, he would be the second Eagles’ rookie to do so in consecutive seasons (DeSean Jackson).

Eddie Royal, WR, Broncos:

Frustrated Royal owners could have cut the cord last week after just eight catches through the Broncos’ first four games.  He burst back onto the fantasy scene with a 10-catch, 90 yard outing against the Patriots on Sunday.

Was Royal’s outburst a sign of things to come of just an(other) anomaly during the week of the wide receiver?  Those in need of wide receiver depth could do much worse than Royal.

Kyle Orton, QB, Broncos:

Royal’s battery mate continues to play well enough to garner some consideration as a QB2 in fantasy leagues.  He even makes for a great bye week plug-and-play for those in need of a quarterback.

How surprising is Orton’s play with Denver?  Consider that the Broncos were completely written off this season by almost every expert, pundit and analyst.  Orton was just the guy who replaced the crybaby Jay Cutler.

Now he’s making fans in Denver forget Cutler ever existed.

Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers:

For those in dynasty leagues, Wallace deserves some consideration.  You may have missed the boat on him after his performance a few weeks ago, but he may still be floating around the waiver wire in some leagues.

He appears to have earned the trust of the coaching staff—something Limas Sweed never did—and Ben Roethlisberger looks his way.  With the aging Hines Ward and inconsistent Santonio Holmes, Wallace will continue to get plenty of looks as a rookie in what has become a power passing offense.

Monday Morning Rehab: Calvin Johnson Goes Down

Nervous fantasy owners await the diagnosis of the injury suffered to Lions’ wide receiver Calvin Johnson in yesterday’s loss to the Steelers. Early indications are a knee. More on Megatron below.

Until that news comes out, however, there are a few injury and non-injury related story lines worth mentioning this morning.

*A couple of quarterbacks who hurt their ribs early in the season had huge fantasy days for owners yesterday. Donovan McNabb returned from his week one rib injury and dropped 264 passing yards and three touchdowns on the Buccaneers. In the late game, Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck returned from his week two injury and did McNabb one better by throwing four touchdown passes along with 241 yards passing.

*Rashard Mendenhall had another solid effort in Willie Parker’s stead for Pittsburgh against the Lions. Personally, I would like to see him do these things against better run defenses than the Chargers and Lions. But you have to admit these games are good for his confidence going forward.

*How uncomfortable is it to be a Brandon Jacobs owner right now? He is supposed to be the best short-yardage running back in the NFL and has less rushing touchdowns to date than his backup Ahmad Bradshaw. Bradshaw tore through a bad Oakland team all day yesterday while Jacobs’ numbers were pretty modest.

*Grading my start & sit advice for week 5: C- at best. Glen Coffee and Rashard Mendenhall were good starts. David Garrard, Mike Sims-Walker (not my fault!) and Derrick Mason were not. Eli Manning, Tom Brady and Cedric Benson were bad sits. Michael Bush and Ben Watson each scored touchdowns but finished with less than 10 fantasy points in most formats, so I will call them a wash.

 

Jerricho Cotchery [WR, Jets]

From RotoWorld:

Jerricho Cotchery (questionable, hamstring) was on the team flight to Miami for Monday night’s game, and the NY Daily News reports the “feeling around the team” is that Cotchery will play.

Cotchery’s status for tonight’s game with Miami is up on the air. Fantasy owners with the luxury of a deep bench at wide receiver likely did not have him in the starting lineup this week due to his questionable tag.

Those waiting on his status need to be prepared for his absence tonight should it come to that. Players like Ted Ginn Jr., David Clowney and Davone Bess may be available on the wire for a plug-and-play maneuver.

 

Calvin Johnson [WR, Lions]

From RotoWorld:

“He hurt his knee. We’ll see where it is,” Schwartz said. “He couldn’t go back in and finish. We tried to get a sleeve on it, we tried to get a brace on it and it was a situation where it was still possible — if he could feel good with it – we would’ve put him back in the game.” Johnson plans to undergo tests on Monday.

No update as of yet out of Detroit regarding Calvin Johnson’s knee.

For those of you counting at home, that is two knee injuries to the Detroit battery of Matthew Stafford and Johnson in just two weeks. Not good for a tandem that had been slightly underwhelming (at least on Johnson’s end) to date this season.

 

Glen Coffee [RB, 49ers]

From ProFootballTalk:

On Sunday, the Falcons put a hurting on both, scoring 45 points in a blowout win, and sending 49ers running back Glen Coffee out of the game with a lower leg/foot injury.

Coffee did score the 49ers only touchdown on Sunday against the Falcons, the saving grace for those who started him this weekend in place of the injured Frank Gore.

The 49ers have a bye this weekend and Gore is aiming to return for the team’s week 7 contest. Keep Coffee on the bench for insurance so long as he did not suffer a season-ending injury.

 

Eli Manning [QB, Giants]

From RotoWorld:

Despite leaving Sunday’s game early, Eli Manning said after Sunday’s shellacking of Oakland that his foot felt “great”

Manning threw for 173 yards and a pair of touchdowns before handing the game over to David Carr’s gloved hands yesterday against the Raiders.

It was the best-case scenario for Manning and the Giants. He paced the team out to a big lead and left without having to be carted/helped off. Fantasy owners in a pinch were right to start Manning yesterday if they did so.

The MMR will continue to run every Monday morning as scheduled during the regular season. If you have an injury update or want an update on a certain player, please leave a note in the comments.

Fantasy Rankings After the First Four Weeks

Most NFL teams hand out internal progress reports at each of the quarter points of the regular season: After four games, eight games, 12 games, and 16 games.

Fantasy owners should utilize a similar approach to gain a better understanding of the ever-changing fantasy landscape.

Every fantasy league is different in terms of fantasy scoring, so the rankings below may not be reflective of your league. But they do offer some insight nonetheless.

For instance, there have been plenty of surprises in fake football so far this season. Some of the league’s bigger names this offseason (Michael Turner, LaDainian Tomlinson, Donovan McNabb, Randy Moss) find themselves out of the first quarter top-10s for one reason or another.

Meanwhile, newcomers like Giants’ wide receiver Steve Smith and Eagles’ tight end Brent Celek have become the hottest of commodities through the first four weeks of the season.

Taking a look periodically throughout the season is a good way to spot, follow, and predict trends in the fantasy game. Use these first quarter rankings to your advantage.

The rankings below are for a standard-scoring, non-PPR league. Standard scoring in this case means the following for the offensive positions: Six points for all touchdowns, one point per 25 yards passing, one point per 10 yards rushing/receiving, minus-two points per turnover.

Top 10 Quarterbacks

Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers overtake Drew Brees as the top fantasy QB’s despite Brees’ hot start…Welcome to the elite category, Joe Flacco and Matt Schaub. Time to see if they can stay here…Old man Brett Favre enters the top 10 on the back of his three-touchdown performance against the Packers on Monday Night Football.

 

Top 10 Running Backs

Chris Johnson’s monster second week paced him out in front of fellow first rounders Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones-Drew…Ronnie Brown appears fully recovered from the ACL injury he suffered two seasons ago and it is starting to show again…How much longer can Willis McGahee continue to score touchdowns?…Doubtful that Fred Jackson and Julius Jones stay in the top-10 by the end of the next quarter.

 

Top 10 Wide Receivers

Not the Steve Smith anyone expected to see at the top of the fantasy rankings after the first four weeks, and two Giants in the top-10 to boot…Mike Sims-Walker crashes the party and the name change appears to have done him well so far…Donald Driver is not the Packers’ receiver fantasy owners expected to see in the top-10 after four weeks.

 

Top 10 Tight Ends

The Colts passing game is on fire, simple as that (Manning, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark all at or near the top of their respective rankings)…A few of the usual suspects but one new party crasher in Brent Celek…Ben Watson always starts strong, expect a fizzle…Vernon Davis looks like the real thing, finally.

 

Top 10 Kickers

Just to demonstrate how random fantasy kickers are: Lawrence Tynes is the leading fantasy kicker and his team has been auditioning replacements…John Carney enjoyed the Saints high-powered offense for four weeks, but will he be replaced now that Garrett Hartley is off suspension?

 

Top 10 Defenses/Special Teams

Raise your hand if you thought San Francisco, New Orleans, and Denver would have the topthree  fantasy defenses after four weeks (*crickets*)…Vikings, Giants, Jets, Eagles, and Bears all justify preseason rankings so far.

Daily Haze: Bullish on the Browns?

In the offseason, the Cleveland Browns fired head coach Romeo Crennel and General Manager Phil Savage, traded tight end Kellen Winslow, and could not decide on a starting quarterback between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson.

When the team finally decided on Quinn, the Browns still could not find the endzone on the offensive side of the ball during meaningful football.

And now the Browns have traded away Braylon Edwards, arguably the most talented offensive player on the roster despite all of his shortcomings (aka drops).

Despite all of this, there are some intriguing offensive options in Cleveland for fantasy owners—at least for this weekend against Buffalo.

Derek Anderson has the backing of Eric Mangini as the team’s starting quarterback after last weekend’s promising performance.  Rookie wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi played like the best wide receiver on the team even with Edwards on the field, and running back Jerome Harrison gashed the Bengals D in Jamal Lewis’ absence.

I certainly am not saying any of these guys are going to save a fantasy owner’s season, but any one of them could be a decent plug-and-play this weekend.  And Massaquoi is a good add for those in deep redraft leagues, keeper leagues and certainly dynasty leagues.

Here are today’s great reads:

• Reggie Wayne is the top ranked receiver to start this weekend. Hard not to be when Peyton Manning is as on fire as he is right now. [Bruno Boys]
• More on the drama fallout now that receivers Braylon Edwards and Michael Crabtree presumably got what they wanted. [Deadspin]
• More target data and analysis following week 4 of the NFL regular season. There really is a new Steve Smith in town. [Roto Arcade]
• Georgia wide receiver AJ Green is one dynasty owners need to keep an eye on—this guy is really, really good. [The Big Lead]
• Speaking of the Edwards-to-the-Jets trade, the Jets are expected to start Edwards at wide receiver on Monday night against the Dolphins. Quick turn around for Braylon. [ProFootballTalk]
• And even more on Michael Crabtree now that he has restored himself into the fantasy football discussion. [FanHouse]

Daily Haze: Eli Manning Injury Update

Eli Manning most likely paced a majority of his fantasy football owners to big leads on Sunday on the back of his three-touchdown effort against the Chiefs.

But in the fourth quarter, he, the Giants, and his fantasy owners received a legitimate scare.

Manning was replaced by David Carr (*gasp*) pretty early in the fourth after the Chiefs punched in a touchdown. I was watching the game on StatTracker and thought it strange that Eli had come out so early, even though the game was squarely in hand.

It turns out Eli suffered an injury to his foot that the team is calling a heel injury. There has been some concern that it may have been an injury to his Achilles tendon, but that has since been dispelled by Manning and the team.

Others speculate that it may be plantar fasciitis and that Eli has been told he could play this weekend if he can tolerate the pain.

Fantasy owners may have to make alternate plans at quarterback this weekend. Manning has a favorable matchup against the Raiders, but the Giants may decide to keep him out for precautionary reasons in a game they should be able to win without his services.

Then he could get healthy enough to play against the undefeated New Orleans Saints in week six.

Here are today’s great reads:

* In other injury news, Darren McFadden will be out for two to four weeks. Somehow, the Oakland offense just got worse. [RotoWorld]

* If Rashard Mendenhall still is on your waiver wire, he is the no-brainer free agent acquisition of the week. [Pancake Blocks]

* With Tennessee falling out of the playoff picture very early, now might be the time to speculate on Vince Young. [Top Fantasy Football]

* Matt Forte, Steve Slaton, and Antonio Gates all earned their fantasy paychecks in a big way this week. [National Football Post]

* Not that the 49ers need the guy at this point, but Michael Crabtree might be getting closer to finally signing with the team. [Shutdown Corner]

Monday Morning Rehab: Fantasy Football Injury Updates from Week Four

Fantasy football owners in deeper leagues may have their first case of swine flu with which to deal. More on that at the end of this story.

First, I wanted to hit on some story lines—injury and non-injury related—from the fourth weekend of football.

Rashard Mendenhall finally looked like the Steelers’ running back of the future last night. Playing for the injured Willie Parker, Mendenhall ran with confidence and even played well in the passing game. That is good news for Mendenhall’s owners in dynasty leagues.

Kevin Smith got the start against Chicago despite the “week-to-week” label. The yardage totals were not pretty, but he did punch across a couple of scores.

From RotoWorld:

Hester was hurt on an attempted wide receiver screen near the goal line, taking a big shot to the upper body from hard-hitting Lions FS Louis Delmas.

The injury did not appear serious at first, but X-rays in the locker room may have revealed a dislocation or break. In a best case scenario, Hester only has a shoulder “stinger.”

Hester never returned to the game after leaving, disappointing fantasy owners in what turned out to be a high-scoring affair.

Little is known at this point regarding the severity of the injury. If it was bad enough to keep him out on Sunday, it could limit him in practice this week. Expect to see Hester on the injury report by week’s end.

Johnny Knox is the receiver you want from the Bears in Hester’s stead.

 

James Davis [RB, Browns]

From ProFootballTalk:

The Browns placed Davis on injured reserve Saturday with a shoulder injury.  The timing is surprising because Davis practiced Wednesday and Thursday before popping up on the injury report as questionable on Friday.

As quickly as Davis’ stock rose this preseason, his season ended before the fourth weekend of football.

Davis will have a better shot at claiming the starting role in Cleveland next season. Jamal Lewis will be another year older and the team should improve via free agency and the draft in the offseason.

 

Matt Stafford [QB, Lions]

From ProFootballTalk:

Per Jay Glazer of FOX, Stafford suffered a kneecap subluxation, which is fancy doctor talk for “it popped out of joint and popped back in.”

On the surface, all should be fine. But there’s a chance that the process of popping the knee out and in might have damaged some of the stuff in the vicinity.

Stafford suffered the same injury I did last winter playing ultimate frisbee.

When the MRI came back on my knee, there was some cartilage dislodged that required arthroscopic surgery. After the surgery I was up and running full speed again in three-to-four weeks.

Hopefully for Stafford the knee comes out clean on today’s MRI.

 

Eli Manning [QB, Giants]

From ProFootballTalk:

Giants quarterback Eli Manning exited Sunday’s game against the Chiefs early, after connecting on a 54-yard touchdown pass to rookie Hakeem Nicks.

Per the AP, Manning has a bruised heel.

Eli has a fantastic day against the Chiefs, something I thought he would not do on the strength of the Giants running game. Instead, he paced the Giants to an early big lead and the team cruised down the stretch.

But Manning was not at the helm midway through the fourth quarter. And it would be the Giants’ worst nightmare if David Carr had to steer the ship in the coming weeks. The team is optimistic about Manning’s heel, but more will be known later this week.

 

Chris Brown [RB, Texans]

From RotoWorld:

Texans coach Gary Kubiak revealed that Chris Brown was a late scratch for Week 4 because of an undisclosed illness.

In the first potential Swine Flu case to a fantasy-relevant NFL player, Brown was scratched from yesterday’s action due to an undisclosed illness.

Head coach Gary Kubiak would not rule out the possibility that Brown has Swine Flu. Brown should return to his role as Steve Slaton’s back-up after his bout with H1N1 is over.

 

Chad Pennington [QB, Dolphins]

From ProFootballTalk:

No rotator cuff damage was found in Pennington’s shoulder when Dr. James Andrews repaired a torn labrum and “minimal damage to the joint capsule” which was caused by his dislocated right shoulder.

The arthroscopic surgery was a best-case scenario, and will give Pennington the option to continue his career should he decide to do so, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.

A sigh of relief for the Pennington camp, who may not return to Miami next season.

Chad Henne took over for the Dolphins yesterday and helped lead Miami to its first win of the season. It was not an overly impressive statistical day for Henne but the beginning of his future at the helm of the Dolphins nonetheless.

 

Zach Miller [TE, Raiders]

From ProFootballTalk:

Now Oakland may be without one of their most reliable receiving options next week because Miller suffered a concussion in Oakland’s dismal 29-6 loss in Houston Sunday.

Not that JaMarcus Russell actually throws the ball to anyone right now, but this just makes matters worse for the Oakland offense in the coming weeks.

Miller started well out of the gates this season but Russell’s downward spiral really has taken the whole Raiders’ ship down with him. No one on that offense, Darren McFadden included, should be considered a starting fantasy player at this time.

Daily Haze: Why Matt Forte Owners Are Ready To Panic

The fingers of Matt Forte owners rest firmly on the panic button heading into Week Four. Another stinker by the popular first-round pick will send his owners into a fantasy football frenzy.

Especially because some already are comparing Forte to former Bears running back busts Curtis Enis and Rashaan Salaam. Ouch.

After a rookie season in which he exploded onto the scene as the Bears’ featured running back and never looked back, Forte has struggled mightily out of the gates in 2009. One would have thought the addition of a play-making quarterback in Jay Cutler would help keep defenses honest against the young back.

It has not really happened that way yet for Forte. And this may be the last weekend fantasy owners give him a chance to rebound. He should be able to do it against the Lions.

Here are today’s great reads:

• In depth players rankings—subject to change, of course—for this weekend’s fantasy football slate. [Roto Arcade]
• Injuries and bye weeks figure to play an important role in almost everyone’s fantasy matchups this weekend. [No Offseason]
• A breakdown of a few of the influential running back by committees in the league after three weeks. [Pancake Blocks]
• More important running back information for fantasy owners managing rosters for the weekend. [FanHouse]
• Chicago fans would be more than ecstatic if Jay Cutler is anything close to what Tom Brady has been for New England. [The Big Lead]
• There are a number of matchups fantasy owners need to avoid and exploit in Week Four. [Top Fantasy Football]
