Young Heroes Get Suited For Battle

Match-up of the Week:

Who would have thought these two young quarterbacks would be playing each other in the NFL so soon! Geno Smith and the Jets take on Jake Locker and the Titans this weekend! Both quarterbacks surprisingly off to good starts.
The Jets have been getting better week after week and showed a very valuable effort in last weeks win. The Titans have been strong throughout the season and ended last weeks game in a thrilling game-ending touchdown. I would hold off on grabbing these quarterbacks for your fantasy teams but, if you have an available quarterback flex option, I would definitely claim one of them for this weeks game. It will be a very close game as both teams running games are strong, and the quarterbacks continue to get better. I predict a 27-18 Titans win.
 The Jets have Santonio Holmes who already has one superbowl ring, and was one of the best wide receivers in the game. Recently, as Holmes is getting older he is getting slower and can not get to the ball as quick as he used to. As for the Titans, they have the beast of Tennessee on their team to help them stay strong. Chris Johnson one of the most elite running backs in the game. Johnson is extremely strong and quick and has been the back of the Titans for the past few years. If the Jets want any chance to stay alive in this match up they are going to need Bilal Powell to be on his A running game. As for other news the Patriots are staying shaky but still undefeated, along with the dolphins. How long can they keep it up?

Reinforcements Have Arrived!

Gronk Report:
Tom Brady and the Pats are undefeated but are off to a shaky season. Brady is always good for a starting quarterback in fantasy football, but not when he has no one to throw the ball to! Brady and the Pats just pulled out a victory in both of the first two weeks of  their season. With the top receiver and running back traded and the start tight end hurt Brady has been forced to throw the ball to back up after back up.

Have no fear!

Gronkowski is on his way to recovery and says he's planning on lifting this team to success. Reports say Gronk should be good to go within the next two weeks. That's a HUGE green light to pick him up if he is unclaimed in your fantasy league! He can easily boost this teams spirit. Unfortunately, other than Brady and Gronkowski I would stay away from picking up any players on this Patriots offense. The reasoning for this is yes they are undefeated but due to a few trades and injuries, they are slacking on every position other than the quarterback spot. Tom Brady hasn't had many option this year to throw to and he could really use his number one back.
 If Danny Amendola can get back to his feet this week the Patriots may slowly be rising out of this unsturdy offense we've seen the back few weeks and may get back to the elite Patriots in which New England loves.

Game Over

Bad News Giants:
First losing their season opener, then getting crushed by his brother, now getting demolished by one of the worst teams in the national football league. Eli Manning and the Giants are starting off to a horrible season. This can be the start to the two time superbowl winning quarterbacks downfall.
If you have Eli as a quarterback on your fantasy team, 99% of sports analysts along with myself would say DROP HIM. The  G-men had just lost 38-0 to a team who has not had a winning record in five years. The Giants are having a lot of trouble filling the back slot as their original 1st and 2nd string backs are both hurt.

Brighter Side:
On a brighter note Cruz and Nicks are looking good as wide receivers if you want them to fill the flex position on your roster.
These Giants are really not progressing in any part of their offense or defense. Coach Tom Coughlin better start thinking about a new team because this could get real ugly if the Giants don't get at least 4 or 5 wins this season. At this pace, they aren't going to come even close to that. In order for them to get back to the 2-time Superbowl champs they're going to need Eli to get his head together and complete his passes without throwing 2+ interceptions each game.
This is not looking good for New York, but they are known to have miracles so keep your head up Giants fans!

The New and Upcoming. Watch Out For Trent!

Many NFL players had stepped up their game last week as we head to week 3.

The Trade of the Week:
Trent Richardson being traded was a huge move by the Colts. Trent Richardson is an extremely young running back who has Superbowl winning potential. As long as Richardson stays healthy he would be a great fantasy pickup for owners and a good back in the second position if you need another one. He will be a much bigger value to fantasy owners in Indianapolis rather than Cleveland. Richardson is happy he was traded but was pretty disappointed to find out he was traded through his friend because his team didn't call him.I guess that's what you get when you're a part of a team who hasn't had a winning record since 1865! Just kidding.

Players to Watch:
Fantasy owners should watch out this week for San Diego man Eddie Royal because he could be a valuable pick-up and boost for owners, seeing as he had two phenomenal weeks in the red zone.
Owners should also keep an eye on Jets running back Bilal Powell. A young running back who's a big sleeper on a team who hasn't had much going for them lately. He could easily be the game-changer for New York. As for other news many fantasy footballers are getting their squads together and looking for some good open flex spots.

Who to Pickup?:
I would check the transactions box 2-3 times a day each week and go to scoring so that you can see the players who are progressing the most over these next few weeks. This can only help your squad if you are lacking a position so that you can fill it, and continue to beat on your friends when you are playing them in a head to head match-up.
