His name just came up on the local sports talk station. If Brock Lobster is even functional then Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins are going to make other teams miserable for the next few years.

If Lamar Miller can live up to expectations and be a solid RB then Houston could have one of the most dangerous offenses in the league for years to come. Only thing their really missing is a decent TE.

He is a perfect complement to Hopkins. He's showing the potential for being a constant deep threat.

I got clowned in my fantasy league for taking him as early as I did. Guess who everyone is contacting me about trades this week? :lol:

Yea I took him and Sterling Shepard (Giants) pretty early in multiple leagues and they've been killing it for me. Both have an elite #1 that draws much of the attention for them.

Also heard good things about Carl Nassib before he got hurt. Sucks too, he's got one of the best stories for an NFL player as far as development goes, hope he's alright soon.

I wanted the versatile Cody Whitehair in the second round. I read good things about him for the first two weeks. Has anyone watched Jeremy Cash? A lot of Browns fans liked him.

A couple receivers have caught my eye the past 2 weeks, Tajai Sharpe of the Titans and this Tyrell Williams of the Chargers.

I'm pleasantly surprised with will fuller even after that slaughter against the pats

I'm probably more surprised because I HATED the pick and thought he would be full on bust and I wanted doctson SOOO BAD (still think doctson will be great one day, possibly this year)

Ernie has been under achieving and underwhelming so far this year in his rookie year :crazy: with his predictions.

I'm ready for a Bosa breakout game this week.

It will be a good test. As bad as the Saints are on defense, they are a royal pain in the ass to play on the other side of the ball.

Cody Kessler has to learn to throw downfield more, but otherwise no complaints through two games. Dak is looking like a steal at this point. Plenty of Tebow comparisons but clearly looking much better right now.

Bosa has been looking good so far.

No love for Prescott. Damn, even I didn't expect this out of him. Its not easy at all living up to all the expectations of being the QB of America's Team !

CJ Anderson is out for the season with Denver so Booker has his chance to shine. He's been averaging about 4.8 yards per carry so far.

Also Janovich at FB with Denver has been fun to watch. Guys a bruiser.

I think Booker is about to emerge as a star in the league. The dude can flat out run, and he fits Denver's style very well. Now that he will likely get the bulk of the carries, I think he's going to do some damage.

Hopefully he and Janovich (rookie FB) click and perform well together.
