ADDS
Josh Gordon: Talk about a
monster debut. Fresh off serving a two game suspension, Gordon was an
instant star in Week 3 by catching 10 passes for 146 yards and 1
touchdown. Gordon was a big play guy last season as a rookie when he
caught 5 touchdown on 50 receptions and with Brian Hoyer showing he is
not Brandon Weeded at least through one start, this nice story is set to
continue.
Fred Jackson: C.J. Spiller apparently
will be ready to go for Week 4 after suffering a thigh injury against
the New York Jets but let that be a warning about the ability of the
former Clemson star to hold up as the every down back. In addition,
veteran Fred Jackson has played better than Spiller so far this season,
with last Sunday being more evidence of this when he rushed for 72 yards
to Spiller's 9 on 3 less carries.
Chiefs Defense: The offense is not the
only positive change that has coincided with the arrival of new head
coach Andy Reid. The defense has been tremendous in putting forth a
massive pass rush led by Tamba Hali, Dontari Poe, and Justin Houston.
New York Jets Defense: Finally
the Jets have a pass rush to complement the always stout Rex Ryan
defense. They sacked E.J. Manuel eight times last week and Muhammud
Wilkerson and rookie Sheldon Richardson in the middle are a pass rushing
tandem not to be messed with.
LeGarrette Blount:
Many took note that Blount got more carries than Stevan Ridley last
week as the latter continues to take up residence in Bill Belichick's
doghouse. Last season's 1,200-plus yard rushing campaign by Ridley
seems like it never happend. Blount has not been great in his career
but with Tom Brady under center you know that the middle will be
softened up.
Ryan Broyles: Meet the prime
benefactor from the broken arm suffered by Nate Burleson in a car
accident early Tuesday. The big play Broyles now graduates to the slot
where he will no doubt get a bunch of looks from Matthew Stafford going
forward. The Lions are throwing all day long which means the workload
itself will help Broyles reach WR 3 status quickly.
Brian Hoyer: Those who play in two-QB
formats should take a look here. Hoyer was tremendous in his debut in
Week 3 when he tossed for over 300 yards and 3 scores. However I want
to see him do it again so pick him up as a bench option for now.
Bilal Powell: Ran
wild against Buffalo after replacing the injured Chris Ivory. Has PPR
appeal as well due to his pass catching ability. Could literally run
with the workhorse gig.
DROPS
Stevan Ridley: Yes drop him. Like
with David Wilson, you got to know when to fold em. Ridley is not
getting out of the Bill Belichick doghouse anytime soon and with Shane
Vereen expected back by Week 9, he could be completely pushed aside for
good. What a bust.
Nate Burleson: No
need to hold Burleson for the 6-8 weeks he will need to recover from the
broken arm. He will be there when you need him again.
Issac Redman: With LeVeon Bell coming back this week, Redman goes back to oblivion where he belongs.
Kellen Winslow: Winslow has been a non-factor for two weeks now despite rookie QB Geno Smith having his best start of the season in Week 3.
