NFL Week 2: When the Bengals Become The Fantasy

On September 17, 2008, in Bengals, Commentary, Fantasy Sports, by sav2880

Look into your crystal ball for the Bengals and tell me what you see. 0-6 is starting to look very realistic from here. Maybe one of you can show me the signs for optimism, but considering they were not competitive against a average to below average division foe, and then lost at home and wasn’t even in the game to a decent club, the next four games look like:

Week 3 – NY Giants (Road) – That defense against us? I’m glad they are on my fantasy team.
Week 4 – Cleveland (Home) – They’ve been less than impressive, but they are still the better team.
Week 5 – Dallas (Road) – Words do not need to be said.
Week 6 – NY Jets (Road) – Brett Favre, enough said.
So the next three road games are daunting at best, and the rivalry game stuck inbetween. I wish I had the faith to say it would be getting any better, but I just can’t. I also wish I had the faith to think that if Marvin Lewis has lost this team, which he has, they would let him know and rebuild the right away. This is the Bengals, that won’t happen either.
So, to all my fellow Bengals fans, warm up your fantasy football teams and begin to dream of your 2009 NFL Draft Pick! Unfortunately, the top running back in this year’s class appears to be (in mock drafts) … Beanie Wells. My excitement just waned again.
As for my fantasy teams? A pair of 2-0 starts, near the top of the standings in both leagues! Plus, my “backup” quarterbacks seem to be the ones I should be starting (Donovan McNabb, Jay Cutler), so my prospects are strong for success coming down the line. Our CBS Sportsline league does a really cool job of breaking down the stats too, as far as how you stack up in a lot of categories. Just like last year, it looks like I’ll be super strong in certain areas (QB’s), and weak in others (RB’s), but at least Darren McFadden is finally coming into his own.
How’s your fantasy team doing? Comment here!
