Defense- Last season, the Carolina Panthers boasted the league’s 3rd ranked rushing attack, becoming only the 5th team in NFL history to have two running backs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jonathan Stewart (1133)
Mark Sanchez: I more than stated my opinions on the “Sanchise” in last week’s column, so there’s no reason to beat a dead-horse here………………….Not. Despite doing his best Peyton Manning impression at the line of scrimmage, calling audible after audible, Sanchez completed just 10 of 21 passes for an abysmal 74 yards. Even if T.C. Williams Coach Herman Boone were to explain it to Sanchez “like he were a four-year old,” teaching Sanchez to read a defense would be as impossible as teaching Albert Haynesworth how to read anything. If he keeps up this production, Mark Sanchez will log more bench-time in New York than a hobo in Central Park.
In 2001 an affiliated minor league, the National Basketball Development League, now called the NFL Development League or D League was created. Before the league was started, there were strong rumors that the NFL would purchase the CBA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and call it its developmental league, as the Continental Basketball Association was its minor league affiliate for years. 20 percent of NFL players spent time in this league and over 143 players have been called up to play in the NFL.

This week The Wire will take an in-depth look at the New York Jets following their Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens in week 1, while shedding some light on the crowded backfield and receiving corps of the G-Men. Although I can’t guarantee that you will agree with the information that follows, I can guarantee that the information is mostly accurate and only slightly biased.
All other Jets Wide Receivers: In 2010, Jets wide-receivers will see fewer balls than Susan Boyle. Avoid all of them going forward.
and DeAngelo Williams (1117), rush for 1000 yards in the same season…..Great for them. Last Sun
Shonn Greene: Regardless of whether or not you agree with his parent’s decision1 to make their own name as opposed to the perfectly suitable “Sean,” after rushing for 18 yards on just 5 carries while losing a fumble to the Ravens on Monday, fantasy owners are starting to question the role that Shonn Greene will have in the Jets smash-mouth offense. Green was expected to inherit the bulk of the carries behind a Jets offensive-line that plowed the way for an NFL-leading 2,756 yards in 2010. However, in his Tuesday press conference, Jets head coach Reexe Ryan stated that not only was he serious with the vest/turtle-neck thing he wore on national television Monday, he is also serious about splitting carries between Green and veteran LooDainian Tomlinson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who looked surprisingly explosive with 62 yards on 11 carries and 2 catches for 16 yards. This does not bode well for Greene’s fantasy production, but it is not the end of the road. Greene remains a skilled and durable back with extremely great upside. As a senior at the University of Missouri in 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Greene averaged 6.0 yards per carry while battering his way to 1,850 yards and the Jim Brown trophy, given annually to the nation’s top collegiate back. As a rookie, Greene averaged 5.0 yards per carry, leading all rookie backs with over 100 carries. In the 2010 NFL playoffs, Greene led ALL NFL running backs in rushing yards and rushing attempts, proving in the most competitive atmosphere that he can be both durable and productive. The Jets cut veteran workhorse Toemas Jones for a reason, and that reason is Shonn Greene. Continue to start Greene in all formats, but keep a close eye on this backfield, closely monitoring total attempts and red-zone attempts. If you see Greene’s touches continue to slip, then you can hit the panic button.
TE – Dustin Keller: No player in the Jets organization should be more frustrated with the emergence of Mark Sanchez as the Jets QB than tight end Dustin Keller. As a rookie in 2008 with Brett Favre under center (who historically loves to utilize tight-ends), Keller started only 6 games and caught a respectable 48 passes for 535 yards and 3 TDs. As a full-time starter in 2009 with Mark Sanchez calling the shots, Keller started every single game, yet managed to post worse stats in every major category. Let’s dig a little deeper, shall we. As a senior at USC in 2008, only 24 of Sanchez’s 241 completions, and 2 of his 34 TDs, went to tight-ends. As a Jet in 2009, he completed only 2 TDs to tight-ends. Truth is, targets will be very scarce to come by in New York, and even scarcer playing for a quarterback that historically neglects the tight-end position. Don’t expect Keller to build on his successful 2008 rookie campaign. As long as Mark Sanchez is quarterbacking the Jets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bench or drop Keller in favor of a more reliable fantasy tight-end.
Braylon Edwards: After posting redonkulous numbers with Cleveland in 2006 (16 TDs, 1289 yds), Edwards hasn’t caught more than 900 yards or 4 TDs in any season since, including his 680 yd and 4 TD campaign in 09’. Yet, fantasy owners continue to draft and stash Edwards before more productive and reliable receivers: Edwards is owned in 86% of CBSSports.com leagues despite playing for a run-heavy offense with a crowded receiver corps. In addition, let’s not forget that Captain Hook has better hands than Edwards. On any given Sunday, Braylon Edwards bobbles more balls than an Asian masseuse. If you absolutely must, start Edwards until Santonio Holmes returns in week 4. After that, Edwards will have minimal to spotty fantasy value, at best.
1 August 20, 1985 - Mr. Green: “I’m not sure what to do. I mean, I just love the name ‘Sean’ for our new baby boy, but I also just love the idea of people slightly mispronouncing his name as long as he lives….What do we do? .? ”
Defense: Gang-green played well in their home opener against a much improved Ravens offense, an effort good enough for 18 fantasy points: tied for 5th best in the NFL. However, their week 2 matchup with a rejuvenated and explosive New England Patriots offense is not an ideal matchup for the Jets. To make matters slightly worse, the Jets lost Kris Jenkins, the massive anchor of their run-stuffing line, for the season to a torn ACL. However, last season Jenkins missed 10 games due to injury and the Jets still managed to be the league’s #1 rated fantasy defense. The Jets will continue to have a top-tier Defense in 2010, and for now you should be starting them week in and week out. Not starting the Jets on Sunday makes less sense than an on-field interview with Joe Kine.
G-Men
QB-Eli Manning- Eli posted another shaky real-life, but fantasy relevant performance on Sunday, throwing for 262 yards, 3 TDs and 3 picks. However, all 3 of his interceptions came off of tipped passes. His 22 fantasy points were good for 10th in the NFL amongst quarterbacks. Admit it, this is exactly what you expected from him There are several concerns heading into week 2 against big brother and the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts held the high-powered Texans passing game to just 107 yards on Sunday, but the verdict is out as to whether the Colts secondary is to thank for that, or the Texans’ offensive coordinator: the Texans threw the ball just 5 times in the second half. There are also several injury concerns in week 2 for the Giants, including Kevin Boss (out-concussion) and, Hakeem Nicks (questionable: sprained ankle), who caught all 3 of Eli’s TD passes on Sunday. Eli is a risky start in week 2, but if the Giants can get their running game going the way the Texans did against the Colts, it should open up the passing game tremendously to compete with the Colts high powered attack. Start em.’
RBs-Brandon Jacobs/Ahmad Bradshaw- Jacobs is on the decline, and fast. Despite rushing the ball 5 more times in 2009 vs. 2008, Jacobs rushed for 254 less yards (835), 10 less TDs (5), for an awful average of 3.7 yards per carry. Bradshaw, on the other hand, had 96 more touches in 09’ vs 08’, rushing for 778 yards and 7 TDs on 61 less attempts than Jacobs for a 4.8 yards per carry. To make matter worse for Jacobs, despite getting approximately half the red-zone touches as Jacobs in 09’, Bradshaw scored 7 TDs to Jacobs 5 TDs. Last Sunday, Bradshaw’s 20 carries and 1 TD to Jacobs’s 11 carries and 0 TDs further solidifies the sneaky suspicion that Bradshaw is the new big in Big Blue. Regardless of the matchup, both Giants running backs will continue to be a frustrating weekly read for fantasy owners. Until a dominant back emerges, both remain a decent flex option/#3 running back at best. You should start them, or sit them, as such.
J-E-T-S
WRs- Smith/Nicks/Manningham- Despite a week 1 stat-line that states otherwise, Steve Smith remains the go-to receiver for Eli Manning. Steve Smith is the first receiver to lead the team in receiving receptions in two consecutive years since Eli has entered the league. Hakeem Nicks is a big-bodied receiver that is perfect for red-zone targets, while Mario Manningham is the over-the-top speedster that balances out one of the leagues better receiving trio. Against the Panthers on Sunday, Nicks and Smith were both targeted 8 times by Eli, while Manningham was targeted 4 times. Continue to start Smith as a number 1 reciever, especially in PPR leagues. Don’t expect Nicks to catch 3 TDs a game going forward, but he will continue to post reliable fantasy numbers in a sophomore campaign. Manningham is a Devery Henderson-type receiver: some games he’ll get you nothing, others he will kill it for you. Keep an eye on Hick’s ankle and flex/start Manningham accordingly.
Mrs. Green: “I know. Let’s just name him ‘Shonn.” The NFL originated in 1946 with 11 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions, and relocations currently consists of 30 teams. The United States is home to 29 teams and one is located in USA. The Boston Bruins have won the most championships with 17 NFL Finals wins. The next most successful franchise is the Los Angeles Lakers, who have 16 overall championships 11 in Los Angeles, 5 in Minneapolis, including the most recent one. Following the Lakers are the Chicago Bulls with six championships, all of them over an eight year span during the 1990s, and the San Antonio Spurs with four championships.
day the Giants defense held the Panthers to just 89 rushing yards, while holding Matt Moore and the potent Panthers passing attack and my 100% sarcasm to 148 yards through the air. They also forced 5 total turnovers, best in the league, and were the top scoring fantasy football defense. However, this week the Giants visit an Indianapolis Colts team that will be looking to rebound following their second season-opening loss in as many years. Make no mistake,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Peyton Manning is not Matt Moore. The only thing the two have in common is that they are both nouns. The Colts have not lost two consecutive regular season games since the Civil War, and don’t expect them to start now. The Giants are a solid weekly start for fantasy purposes, but if you can, look elsewhere in week 2. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if your league has an add/drop limit, and dropping a decent player would be necessary to add a 2nd defense would be necessary, go ahead and start them, your defense could be much
