There have been some big surprises in NFL fantasy football so far, as well as some patterns that should make your fantasy football decisions a bit easier.
As for the surprises, the pathetic starts by the top running backs definitely top the list. LaDainian Tomlinson, Larry Johnson, and Stephen Jackson have not merited their top selections.
Another surprise is Randy Moss, who has officially returned to freak status. A season after he quit on his Raiders teammates, Moss has showed no sign of quitting, not even on a single play.
Moss has been targeted thirty four times this season by Tom Brady; he's caught 31 passes for 505 yards and 7 touchdowns. Those are unbelievable numbers and remind you of the Randy "The Freak" Moss of the past.
Moss is no doubt proving to be one of the biggest steals in most every fantasy draft this year.
As for the patterns that should make your weekly choices easier, here are what we now so far.
First and foremost, Denver and Miami cannot stop the run. You should start everybody and anybody you have at running back going forward against these two teams, especially the Dolphins, who are dead last in rushing defense.
The Raiders absolutely destroyed Miami's run defense last weekend rushing for 299 yards. You know a run defense is horrible when Justin Fargas can find as much daylight as he did on route to his career best 178 yard performance.
Also, pick up the defense that's playing the 49ers each week. The 49ers were bad even with Alex Smith at quarterback; don't expect them to get any better with Trent Dilfer at the helm.
