Mid Season Duds
Brett Favre Forgive us, we know you are certainly tired of hearing the name. But only 1 season after he came to Prince’s favorite franchise and partied like it was 1999, many fantasy owners were expecting the rager to continue on for another season. Blame the Sidney Rice injury, blame sext messaging, blame the battering toll of almost 2 full decades of NFL games, whoever the culprit, somebody definitely laid a deuce in the coat closet. It looked as if there might be signs of life with Randy Moss making his prodigal return, but that short lived experiment couldn’t even make it to Sidney Rice’s return, at which point Moss and Rice split wide with Harvin over the middle could’ve made even Viking ghosts Jeff George and Daunte Culpepper look like 2010 Pro Bowl contenders. Yes, Favre surpassed the 400 yard mark against the Cardinals just a week after Moss’ departure, but do you really want Old Man Bret manning your starting roster spot?Shonn Greene There is simply no reason a 25-year old second round ADP running back should be lose a position to a 31-year old veteran cast-off, even if that cast-off is one of the most prolific RBs in NFL history. LaDainian Tomlinson is outperforming Shonn Greene by nearly every measuring stick thus far. Hopefully Greene owners drafted LT as a handcuff so they at least got 1 valuable commodity out of the Jets backfield. On the bright side, Tomlinson looks to be running out of steam as games progress, averaging just 3.4 yards per carry in weeks 6 and 8, and 3.7 in week 9. Whether this trend continues or results in any less carries remains to be seen.Jerome Harrison A preseason sleeper in some circles after finishing last season strong, Harrison looked to be the front man going into the year with rookie Montario Hardesty lost to a preseason knee injury. How you parlay an inside shot at Cleveland starter into little-used Philadelphia reserve is beyond us, but Harrison has certainly done nothing on the field in 2010 to foreshadow a rise from the ashes. Kudos to current Browns RB Peyton Hillis for taking advantage of the opportunity, a could’ve-been selection for Mid Season Stud.
