Jabar Gaffney is catching everything thrown his direction.

Kyle Orton? Yeah, him. I hate to admit it but he's looking good.

Huggins is sending Ward to the unemployment line in a hurry.




Do understand that I haven't seen a minute of TV on these games but listen where I can on the radio.


What about y'all? I'm not looking for studs that look good, they're supposed to. Who has surprised you? What player is moving up your personal draft boards?

Jabar Gaffney has caught my eye. I really though that Eddie Royal would be the guy in Denver, but Gaffney has been getting all the targets.

-Everyone get's lucky now and then (Gaffney). I just caught a ton of shit for calling Gaffney a SLEEPER, off of a quick read from the end of last season.
-I can't wait to watch that backup Rb in SF again tonight!
-I think Avant catches a half a dozen Td's as he and Delek get the endzone looks.
-Hillis might be the back to own in Cleveland, if their is such a thing.
-Devin McQuorty was the defensive steal of the draft and will impact the pats return game.
-Don't get too excited with the rookie Te's in New England. There are 2 of them and it is vaguely similar to Graham/Watson, and it will have similar results. It all comes down to what is gameplanned week to week.
-Kuhn's going to have atleast 6 of these little FB swing passes for the Packers. This will impact Grant the most
-Bess will out produce Hartline easily, and RW is gonna offer more than Brown especially early in the season. Brown may start games out but Ricky will be called upon to finish them.
-Portis is the definite option over LJ. They are playing at completely different levels. Snatana Moss is pretty good and Cooley is ready.

No lie, RC nailed that Gaffney pick a couple of months ago. I was a non believer too, but he looks real good.

I have to say, Mike Williams is indeed the real deal here in Tampa.

Still preseason, but he is going quicker then I can grab him in some drafts and mocks now. I just think he is the perfect #4 Wr who can really change a draft for you.

RH, how is Benn looking?

Gresham looks to be the real deal at TE as well. 6 receptions in the least 2 preseason games. Palmer seems to be testing him out as a safety valve and I expect that connection to catch on quickly.

Have not watched the last game yet, but something to continue to watch. Benson had 5 receptions vs the Eagles on 6 targets (he only caught 17 balls all season last year). I don't expect that to be a norm, but if Benson really is going to a bigger part of the passing game his value in ppr leagues sees a nice bump. If he can double his 17 to 34 that will be equivalent to almost 3 additional TD's! Just something to watch on their next game.

With Cutler being sacked 5 times in the game last night don't look for the Bears to send their TE out on pass paterns much at all as predicted by several Outlaws on this forum.

I hope RH checks this thread and gives his $0.02 on Benn cuz RH has very valuable "coach" approach way of seeing the players that I don't have.

But what I do see is that Benn is not getting rumbled by the competition. His learning curve is not as steep a Mike Williams on route running but his awareness, ball control and agility are looking good. He's mold-able and a humble learner so he will become a solid WR. I see him watching Reggie Brown and learning how to be more confident in double coverage situations. He's developing good chemistry with Freeman and sharp eyes. A lot of TB fans are really excited about him.
