The Kicking Tee #2
The Kicking Tee #2
By Bob Graziano
Week 5 is upon us and now all owners should have a good idea about their own teams and their league as a whole. Should have picked another RB, huh? Still the Championship in every league should be very much in the air at this point. The Moves are There to be Made!
Randy Moss is just one highly drafted WR that is underperforming all over the football field this season. Joe Horn is looking old and slow for a Saint team making a youth movement. Joey Galloway followed a nice performance by catching one ball (it was for a TD) and losing his QB. All these guys might have been looked at as #1’s on draft day. A dude in my league passed on Anquan for Randy, whoops. If you need a player at WR look to the always humming Green Bay attack for Greg Jennings who has impressed as a rookie and developed a nice relationship with Brett Farve. And Koren Robinson does not have to go to jail ‘till May! With Donald Driver nursing bruised ribs these dudes might be see a lot of pigskin in the next few weeks. Also Arnaz Battle and Travis Taylor are guys that might need a team and look to see nice matchups week 5.
At QB some guys are rollin’ and some guys are getting rolled. Chad Pennington has looked like his old self this season. Culpepper has looked like he is standing in mud. If you need a QB because you bet on Daunte’ look to the Great White North for Brad Johnson. He has a nice opponent and he has shown since replacing Mr. Culpepper that he can throw TD’s and win games at home against mediocre teams. Damon Huard looked impressive last week, but be careful. The Chiefs are on the road and they have always been a team that likes home cooking. Also look to replace Mark Brunell this week. He is at the Meadowlands where he lost 36 nothing last year. The Skins could win a game a lot of ways that don’t compute to big QB numbers or they could take another whooping.
Running Back is the place where everybody could use a player, if not for your line-up then as trade bait. As previewed in this column Correll Buckhalter’s stock is rising now that Westbrook is missing time in Philly. Musa Smith has been a disappointment so far in Baltimore, but he is still young and since Jamal Lewis is disappointing as well, Smith might see carries and 3rd down passes in the weeks to come. He should be more available then his teammate Mike Anderson. The Jet situation at the start of the season looked like a Merry-Go-Round. Well the Go-Round tossed off Cedric Houston last week so Kevin Barlow (4 TD’s) and Leon Washington should see tries this week in Jacksonville. Ron Dayne is a guy that has a number one job in Houston and could be had in some leagues for free. You probably could do worse if you have to sub for a guy on a bye week.
Need a Defense, Vikings. Need a TE, Bubba Franks. Need a Kicker, Vinny Boom Batts should be back this week. Need somebody to talk to: grazianimal@columnist.com
