Dal vs. NYG Impressions, Week 1

At some point in your life you’ve probably heard that “First impressions are everything!” Some people believe that, some people don’t. But in football first impressions can go a long way. After watching last night’s game we have a bevy of options for the week to come. Should you sign Kevin Ogletree, or look to move Bradshaw. In this blog I will tell you my early opinions on key fantasy players from Wednesday night’s game. Like everyone’s first love, I reserve the option to change my mind!

Kevin Ogletree WR DAL- Ok you can’t ignore an 8 catch, 114 yard, 2 touchdown game. But is this performance sustainable? Ogletree had 11 targets on Wednesday, that’s only 1 less than Witten, Austin, and Bryant combined! Now commonsense would lead us to think that this will not be the case all season, however must we forget Laurent Robison. Robison had 81 target last season and 11 TDs, which looks to be reachable for Ogletree. Now I aint no dummy, Im not dropping high end sleepers for him, but he is worth a roster spot to see if he can hold up this production.

Ahmad Bradshaw RB NYG- Bradshaw had a very productive game last night, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. He had 76 rushing yards which seems to be about his cap. Here’s the thing, Bradshaw only had one 100 yard game last season and only one game over 17 carries. This is a pass first team. My advice, hold Bradshaw through week 5 to improve his trade value. In the next 4 weeks he faces the Panthers,Eagles,Browns, and Bucs, who ranked on average 25^th against the run. After week 5 look to trade him for high value!

Victor Cruz- Many fans are upset with his 3 drops, which happened to be a game killer. However for fantasy owners you did see 11 targets with 6 catches. Like I’ve said before, he does not have elite talent, but he does get elite targets. I don’t think his value will skyrocket or plummet. So if you drafted him Id hold him. If you didn’t, I wouldn’t acquire him.

Demarco Murrey- McFadden,oops. I mean Matthews, dang it. I meant Murrey, has an over whelming amount of talent, but the question has always been can he stay healthy? Last night we saw him break 3 or 4 tackles on a couple of plays and bust off long runs. He’s defiantly a top 10 back in terms of talent but can he withstand an entire season. If you own him let him play like a stud, while looking to gain on your investment. If you find that desperate owner willing to give up his roster for him, I’d cash in!
