Alex Smith . Jason Campbell are winners, but not fantasy players
There is a thought out there in the fantasy world primarily amongst the more green (rookie) managers that if you win the NFL you must be a winner in the fantasy realm. Not true. Look at Alex Smith and Jason Campbell. In two games this season, Alex Smith has 252 yards and zero touchdowns. Granted he hasn't thrown an INT either, but without throwing any touchdowns that is very bad for fantasy owners. Even more so, he hasn't faced stellar defenses like Chicago and New England. He has faced Arizona and St. Louis. If you can't throw a TD against a banged up St, Louis you are looking at a bad season. Especially with Vernon Davis on your side.
Jason Campbell is far more intriguing, but still a fantasy bust. In the first two games 431 yards, 1 TD, and 3 INTs. Even if you add in the 68 rushing yards, throwing INTS at a 3 to 1 clip isn't going to make you a fantasy star. In fantasy football to be a successful QB you need to throw 200 yards and 2 TDs(pass or run). That is not asking allot. Jason Campbell has the yards, but is far short of the TDs. When you are up against a QB like Tony Romo who's thrown 6 TDs already, 1 isn't anything to get excited about.
I'm not going to tell anyone to cut these guys yet, but certainly do not start them. If the need arises then cut A. Smith. Hold on to Jason Campbell, but don't expect much. The Washington offense isn't what it use to be.
