Week 1: Fantasy Stockwatch

8. September 2010  - Published by Jimmy Dinsmore

Whether your draft is over, or yet to take place, you are always looking for that player you can steal late with huge upside, or that stud off the waiver wire. Here's some players, likely undrafted or drafted late, who could have a huge impact for your fantasy squad.

Isaac Redman, RB, Steelers - I had watched plenty of this running back during the preseason and thought he looked like a slightly less talented Jerome Bettis. It seems the "mini-bus" will be on the move in the Steeler backfield. Redman will get the goal line carries which makes him valuable. It hurts Rashard Mendenhall's value somewhat too. Redman is probably on your waiver wire right now and it's wise to go get him now, before he goes all Mike Alstott and gets snatched up.

Peyton Hillis, RB, Browns - Another AFC North pick-du-jour, Hillis emerges as a very chic pick this week and all season. Hillis is a pass catching running back who is especially attractive in PPR leagues. In one of my leagues, I snagged Hillis in round 10 and I'm giving serious thought to starting him as my RB2, over Clinton Portis or Thomas Jones. I will probably take a wait and see approach on Hillis, but don't wait too long before snagging Hillis.

James Jones, WR, Packers - A third WR on a team with a stud, pass-catching tight end is not usually the recipe for a great fantasy option. But, this is the Packers offense and Jones has a lot of upside. In a keeper league, Jones has even more value. It's not time to insert Jones into your starting lineup, but he makes a nice reserve.

Mike X. Williams, WR, Seahawks - Somewhere Matt Millen is saying I told you so. Williams was drafted by the Lions and all but left the league. He signed on with the Seahawks and impressed them so much, they cut TJ Houshmanzadeh. Williams is now a starting WR in the Pacific Northwest. His value is on the rise, so if you're lying in wait on him, just make sure you act quickly. One good game this week, and he'll be the hot commodity.

Josh Freeman, QB, Bucs - Talk about a buy low candidate. His value will never be lower as the Tampa quarterback is nursing a broken finger. He has practiced this week and says he's playing this week against the Browns. If he plays, he's actually an intriguing start against a bad defense. But on a stockwatch report, he's definitely a buy now candidate. Consider that Freeman is 6'6" with a nice arm and mobility.

All I can say is... please write more. OMG, it seems as though I watched a video instead of reading an article...it's so crystal clear. You hole heartedly know what you're writing about. My thought was,  why waste your intelligence on blog posting when you could be writing books? Think about it. You're awesome at what you do. WORD!

Well... to be completely sincere, I wasn't expecting to find this type of info by accident, as I did, because I just found this blog post while I was actually conducting a research in Bing, trying to find something similar but not exactly the same...

However now I am more than happy to be here and I'd like to add that your standpoint is extremely interesting although a bit controversial to my taste... I would say it's up to debate... but I'm scared to make you an enemy, ha, ha, ha...

Anyway, in case you want to talk in detail about it, please answer to my comment and I'll make sure to subscribe so that I will be notified and come back here for more...
