Patriot Games

Thank you, Bill Belichick. Or is it Belicheat?

The "genius" coach of the New England Patriots, seen at right, has given all us fantasy footballers the inside information we need with his team's alleged sign-stealing in a win against the Jets last Sunday.

So, apparently, we should all go out and sign up some Patriots!

Pick up running back Kevin Faulk, tight end Kyle Brady, heck - maybe even left tackle Matt Light will get into the fantasy action!

If you know the defense's every move, why not?

Then again, maybe you're of the opinion that either: a) the Patriots are innocent and the guy on the sideline with a camera was just putting together a youtube compilation or, b) just about every team in the NFL does this sort of thing, so what's the big deal?

If that is the case, here are the non-Patriots players you should consider starting this Sunday:

Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh QB - Big Ben threw four touchdowns in Week 1, and this week he goes against a Buffalo defense that allowed over 300 passing yards to Denver last week.

Seattle defense - The Seahawks surprised with 18 points in my league last week. Sunday they face the Cardinals, who managed only 261 total yards and turned the ball over three times in Week 1.

Brandon Marshall, Denver WR - Marshall continues to look more and more like a playmaker, and is a solid fantasy option this week against a Raiders defense that allowed 285 yards and 3 TD's against the Lions's pass offense.

Also, are Yahoo's Week 2 targets, and FFToday's QB/RB rankings.

Good luck this week and, remember, if you ain't cheatin', you ain't on the Patriots payroll.

Clever writing. Thanks.

So do you think the whole thing with the Patriots has made their Defense successful, or do you link that to this? I mean football is two games, offense and defense, and if the offense was great, but the defense sucked, that doesn't necessarily mean they will win right?

Beli-cheat??? What kind of hack writer are you? Just kidding, this is the best blog I've ever read. Why don't you throw something in there about your awesome older brother who wins your fantasy league every year? I would like to hear more about him!
