Fantasy Football Tonight 8/5
FEED ME
I just want to take a moment at the top of tonight's blog and let you guys know how I'd like this blog to work. If there is a topic you would like me to cover, or a question or comment you'd like me to answer please feel free to email me and ask. The email address is either thefantasyscout@gmail.com or jeff@fantasyfootballsearch.com. I am in touch with people from all 32 NFL teams everyday from now through the end of camp and there is literally no limit to the information I have access to. As much as I try and cover each teams issues and the burning fantasy questions that many of us have there are tons of topics I probably won't get to unless somebody asks for it. The reason for this blog is for our staff to pool our resources together and give all of our readers the information and answers they seek. If you want to know how a player did at practice today or who is getting more first team reps or things of that nature, give me a shout and I will be happy to answer you directly or within this blog every night.
HARRY DOUGLAS TEARS ACL
In case you haven't already read the news in my Training Camp Blog, Falcons WR Harry Douglas has a torn ACL and will most likely miss the entire season. The pressure on the team to make Roddy White happy and give him a new deal just got greater.
BENGALS WANT BUBBA
The Cincinnati Bengals have made contact with the agent for free agent TE Bubba Franks. It is not quite clear their level of interest right now but one can only assume they would like to bring in a veteran TE at this point. They have lost Reggie Kelly for the season and today Ben Utecht was brought to the hospital after suffering a concussion. Franks is a better pass catcher though and I would expect the team to go after more of a blocking TE since that is the major need at this point.
MARK CLAYTON OUT 4-6 WEEKS
The hamstring injury he suffered the other day is at least a partial if not a full tear. He is out for at least 4-6 weeks which will put us into the second or third week of the regular season. The Ravens receiving situation is really a complete mess right now. Sure Derrick Mason is back but he has been slipping in recent years and then there is Demetrius Williams who is a big target but a very lazy route runner who fails to get open too much. The team could really use another player or two in camp at the position if for nothing else than to stimulate the current crop or WR's they are running out there each week.
SUPER SLEEPER RB
I am preparing for a special piece on Texans RB Arian Foster that I be doing for our Fantasy Football Search Draft Kit this year. Foster is one of my "Secret Stash" guys who I have been and will be paying special attention to during training camp and beyond this season. Foster has been very impressive so far and the coaching staff has been just raving about his play in camp. Foster is a guy who could have been a first round pick if he'd have come out after his Junior season at Tennessee. He is a big kid who runs hard. He doesn't have top end speed but sees the field well and isn't easy to bring down. He has a real chance to be a breakout star this year if Steve Slaton were to go down or struggle.
