Hail Mary! (Mother of all passes)
by: Josh
"Da Bomb is in." Football Sunday's have gotten more exciting during the 06-07 NFL season. Highlight reel, breath-taking plays have lined the short halftime shows, giving fans a reason to stick around the T.V. during halftime instead of heading off to the kitchen. With defenses getting smarter and faster, screens and option plays have no longer become viable options, that have made playoff teams successful in recent years.
The jury on possession receivers is out and the era for speed receivers has begun. Plays over the sixty yard mark have been numerous as I look over the stats every Tuesday morning. There have even been an increase in plays over 80 yards (including two eighty-three yard bombs to the Bills Lee Evans, which ironically matches his number)that have fantasy players going goo-goo. New hands off rules have given receivers an advantage at making bigger plays and have made them more consistant in the fantasy world. Having speed receivers on your fantasy team can almost assure you atleast one 50+ yard play, tied in with some pay dirt, once a week. Players such as; Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson, Steve Smith, and surprise rookie Marques Colston have cashed in handsomely with the new laws and will probably be rewarded off the field in the near future.
So ladies and gentlemen, get your speedsters started because they'll be in for awhile. And for all you fantasy basement dwellers that picked LaMont Jordan in the first round, you've learned your lesson. Pick the speedy guys with a quarterback who has a live arm and you'll be golden next season. So all-in-all remember that "Da Bomb" is in.
