Who cost you a week one win? Naming one supposed super star athlete may not be the best solution. There were way too many athletes that didn’t bring their fantasy value to the field. After all the trash talking you did during the off-season, you started off the year with a loss. Let’s point the blame.

Quarterbacks

Daunte Culpepper
Culpepper should take the pepper out of his name, because he wasn’t hot. He was as cold as Lambeau field is in January, and he didn’t even balance out his miscues with some touchdowns. Hopefully he isn’t going to flashback completely to his old days, and is rid of this week in his mind. We all know that Culpepper has been a trend type of quarterback, so this isn’t a good sign.

David Carr
Carr isn’t worthy of starting in fantasy leagues, but if you got desperate boy did you pay. He lost you points. Like a coach that cuts a special teams player out of frustration for losing, as a fantasy owner I would cut Carr like it was nothing.

Chad Pennington
Should we even start with Pennington? The Chiefs defense was expected to be better, but Pennington made them look like the best defense in the league. We all know that can’t be the case. If it ends up being than that is what you call a 360. Pennington’s strength is obviously not there. Permanent damage may have been done to his shoulder, like a pitcher in baseball. You don’t want that to happen to anyone, but he has had the entire off-season and preseason to show improvement, and it hasn’t happened.

Running Backs

JJ Arrington
Pack it up and move on from Arrington. This detour was a site seeing disaster, not even worth developing film. The Cardinals running game has no chance, and Arrington is going to dread his rookie season.

Ahman Green
Fifty eight yards isn’t going to get it done as a starting fantasy football back. For the people that drafted a Moss or quarterback with their round one pick, Green was their choice as a starting fantasy back. Oh boy, fantasy teams with that mold are going to have a lot of fun this season.

Steven Jackson
Add one yard to Green’s stats and that’s what you call a close call. Sixty yards for Jackson, and this was against the 49ers defense. The Rams disappointed more than any team on Sunday. Hope was high and still can be for Jackson. But if the Rams are going to plan to abandon the run and let Bulger throw fifty times, than there is no chance for team success.

Wide Receivers

Lavernues Coles
Coles looked like he was a Seattle Seahawks receiver, dropping balls constantly. He dropped a for sure touchdown, and just had his mind elsewhere Sunday. With Pennington’s zip being a high concern, who knows how long that will affect Coles deep game.

Hines Ward
A new contract followed by a three catch twenty five yard performance. Willie Parker stole the show, but Ward wasn’t able to sneak out unnoticed. Roethlisberger did only throw the football eleven times, and Ward did catch three of those. So if Roethlisberger ups his attempts, than there will be no problem with Ward’s stats.

Jerry Porter
The Raiders opened up the offense, and you’d expect Porter to see some of that. He did get a portion but not enough, with only forty eight yards. He is a big key for the Raiders offensive success. If he can play at a Pro Bowl level, it’ll be history. Defenses are already geared at Moss, and once Porter takes some of that attention, Moss’s stock will boost to its highest point ever.
