Antonio Brown

4 catches 137 yards 2 TDs.

I have him in every team and i'm feeling a little turned on right now

I have him a bunch as well. It's nice, but he's really nothing more than a flex option in a bye week.

The real story tonight is (1) Foster and (2) Matt Ryan throwing 42 passes in the 1st half!!! White/Jones up? Turner down?

Some random thoughts as I watch games and keep close eyes on a satellite draft:

Matthew Stafford has looked great but that's really no surprise. Talent has never been the question. It's all about durability.

The Lions appear to have nothing at RB other than Best. If he's out, Stafford (or Hill) could average about 50 pass attempts per game.

I hope you enjoyed getting Nate Burleson as a value pick while it lasted.

Willis McGahee three TDs so far in the preseason. Just sayin.

Hey look at LaGarrette Blount catching passes.

Am I wrong to suddenly be feeling better about Brandon Marshall? A 60-yard TD bomb will do that - even in the preseason.

I think Matt Ryan's arm might have fallen off. Damn, the Falcons threw it a ton tonight.

I think the people who are concerned about Adrian Peterson shouldn't be. The guy is a stud. I could be playing QB and he'd still be a stud. It's true. I'd suck but he'd still be a stud.

I likely won't have Arian Foster on any of my fantasy teams this year (I rarely get the No. 1 pick) but I still hope his hamstring injury doesn't linger. Nothing worse than seeing star players suffer through injuries.

Oh, and this is from last night but I'll say it one more time - Donald Driver may be the most undervalued starting WR in fantasy right now. Criminal how overlooked he's been in drafts.

Well when you can't run against the best run defense in the NFL, go to the air!!

Good stuff as always, Tom!

[/QUOTE]disagree, i thought Brown or Sanders would break out big time this year (Ward will be the starter in name only imo) and with sanders injury Brown is the man. He'll comfortably put up WR3 numbers this season imo.

Jimmy Graham might just be the number one TE in football by the end of the season.

He does look great. Will go Owen Daniels territory now.
