Preseason: Week 1 Updates

Preseason Week 1(Technically, Week 2)

The preseason is in full swing this weekend. Sorry for the delay folks, I will get to the previews soon. Here are some notables from the preseason thus far. I will update this post through the Panthers @ Giants game Monday.

Updates

-Tom Brady appeared to be back in form on Thursday, by thrashing the Eagles defense for 100 passing yards and 2 TDs in only 1 half. Moses Lake may have the best fantasy QB around.

-With the return of Tom, Randy Moss appears to be ready for a breakout year.

-RB LeSean McCoy clearly looks to be the real deal, I'm predicting he will receive majority of the carries by Week 6.

-In only 1 quarter of play, Ray Rice put up 6 fantasy points. But Willis McGahee still looks like a big handcuff.

-Rashard Mendenhall looked ordinary, he needs to play more stellar in order to separate himself from Willie Parker and Mewelde Moore.

-Felix Jones looks like he may see majority of the carries in the Dallas backfield, as did Oakland RB Darren McFadden. Both clearly looked like the best RBs their respective teams had.

-Mark Sanchez looked very good in his pro debut, as did RB Shonne Greene. Both should be monitered throguhout the preseason.

-Sage Rosenfels impressed, but he is merely a blimp on anyone's fantasy radar.

-Joesph Addai looked okay, not bad. Donald Brown looked great though, this battle will be decided during the season. One of them should be a great late season addition.

-Chad Ochocinco appears to be back in form. He and Chris Henry are ones to watch.

-Glenn Coffee seems to be emerging as a handcuff to Frank Gore.

-Kyle Orton looked extremely bad.

-Michael Turner finished his day with 12.3 fantasy points, Not bad for one quarter.

-Kevin Smith was being used a lot in the run game and the pass game for the Lions. He will be involved a lot in this run based offense. Smith is a sleeper to have a breakout season.

UPDATE: 8/15/09 9:32 PM

-Detroit RB Aaron Brown could emerge as a handcuff to Kevin Smith, guy looks electric.

-Jay Cutler looked okay in his Bears debut, a bit rusty. He definitely needs some more weapons.

-Aaron Rodgers came out firing for the Packers, scoring on the first drive and accumulating 9.4 fantasy points to start the game.

-Ryan Grant looked stellar as well, putting up 26 rushing yards on 6 carries and a touchdown. (8.6 fantasy points)

-Steve Slaton started out very slow, and was outperformed by Chris Brown. Brown finished with 25 yards on 5 carries and a TD. This should be watched carefully.

-LT did not look particularity effective.

-Vince Young had a strong night, might be pushing Collins now.

-Chris Johnson had only 7 yards on 7 carries. The Bucs defense isn't a juggernaut by anyone's standards. Hopefully Johnson gets out of this funk.

-Really can't tell if the Bucs are going to give even carries or not. Graham looked bad, and Ward wasn't all that much better,

-Didn't get to see anything from James Davis.

-Looks like the Seahawks will try to establish a run game. Julius Jones looked okay, if he can get a good amount of carries, he could be a good RB/WR slot option.

-Matt Schaub looked like a pro-bowler out there today.

More later folks, I will update as the games go on.
