Week Three Update

Ouch! The injury bug hit hard and fast here. And now Winslow is opening his big mouth.

Droughns scored a touchdown and is halfway to his totals from last year.

Frye is surprising everyone with competency and Winslow seems like a decent tight end pickup.

Braylon Edwards and Northcutt are not exciting to me.

Keep a long term eye on Harrison. He may become a late season factor.

This team is a cellar dweller and it's not the coach's fault.

45. Joe Jurevicius

I want him.

I love him.

Seattle was, perhaps fatally, wrong to let him go.

At some point when you have a recurring problem, it needs to be looked at deeper then just the surface responsibilities.

There have been a tremendous number of dropped passes in Seattle. When even the great Jerry Rice is dropping them then it's time to look in another direction then just the receivers.

Seattle answered this by bringing in Jurevicius. He caught everything and made Tampa Bay wish they could have kept him.

Winning a Superbowl is huge and a mystic energy surrounds this talent. He came in to a franchise on the brink, and took them over it. Without his clutch catches, Seattle would not have been there. His experience made everyone around him better and full of the confidence to achieve.

They said that Joe Namath threw the easiest pass to catch, and he delivered a Superbowl.

Perhaps the real problem is the way Hasselbeck throws the ball.

Cleveland got a champion in Jurevicius and he will make them dangerous.

His stats should be good. There is some risk, as Cleveland is arguably the worst team in their division, but, good things are being said about Frye. If Droughns can competently run the ball, as he did last year, but, can't punch it in, again; then Jurevicius is the man.

He's my sleeper pick of the draft.

The Superbowl story about what he accomplished under the stress of his son's heart-rending situation, touched everyone. It also proved the courage and stalwart constitution that makes up this humble and gifted man. He is the answer.

25. Reuben Droughns

7/28: Losing your stud center hurts. Unfortunate downgrade here for Droughns and a team trying hard to re-emerge from the cellar. Too bad.

This actually makes Droughns a cannon fodder player.

============================================================================

I love the moves Cleveland has been making. They needed a radical make-over and their getting it.

It will still be a few more years before they actually compete and, of course, will probably never shake the Bernie Kosar, always-a-bridesmaid, curse; but, they can score some fantasy points.

I am concerned about the lack of touchdowns scored last year, yet, the yards racked up by Droughns and the improving nature of the Browns earns him this ranking.

I try to stay away from the popular picks and look for the breakout player. Droughns is still searching for that respect a former Denver runningback is always looking for. The proof that it wasn't just the line and the system that made him great.

Droughns earned attention last year and will expand that this year.

In yardage leagues he's already a lock, but, there is still that concern about the top fantasy players coming from playoff teams. It is a tremendous stretch of the imagination to think that the browns will be fighting in January.

However, of all the positions, runningbacks has the most non-playoff top tens.

I don't think he's worth putting higher, he should be a third rounder at best.

Cleveland will be better, and will surprise more then once. their schedule is difficult and a few losses in the beginning will set the tone for another long season.

Droughns could regress. I'm betting that his touchdown line will be better this year.
