Fantasy Football: Can This Man Save Your Season?

READ MORE: ESPN Insider, Fantasy Football, Reggie Brown, Terrell Owens

This is Eagle’s wide receiver Reggie Brown, the player most Terrell Owens owners have added in the hopes that he will in some way make up for the loss of the number one wide receiver spot this year. We’re confused as to why so many people are giving this guy looks over Greg Lewis at this point. Could Brown become McNabb’s favorite target by the end of the season? Of course. But we still like Greg Lewis to get the majority of the looks. He’s proved himself in the offense and Reggie Brown has had a whopping three catches so far this year. Yet, it also seems like everybody in fantasy football is hopping on the Reggie Brown bandwagon at this point. Dude’s getting so much hype that he’ll probably get double coverage against the Cowboys on Monday night. The reality is that this Eagle’s offense will probably revert back to the old West Coast-style offense that spread the ball around and depends upon those little dink passes. Owens was big enough and fast enough to take those passes and make touchdowns out of them. ESPN’s Tristan Cockroft sums up Brown’s potential best:

Is Reggie Brown worth a pickup? Yes, but don’t make the mistake of assuming he’ll catch five-plus passes and approach 100 yards receiving every week. Brown’s stock gets a noticeable boost, making him a worthy No. 3 or 4 option when the matchup is right, but overall, don’t expect more than 30-35 catches and 450 yards in his final eight games.

So, relax. Stick to your Bobby Engram’s and Antonio Chatman’s and try to make up the points loss some place else this season. Like that Nigerian dude from the Packers.

Fantasy Sports: Scott Engel Chews Through His Cage

We’re absolutely terrified of Scott Engel. Sometimes we won’t even open our Insider account during football season just because his spooky-ass visage may pop up and scare us:

See? Scary! Imagine you’re just reading a nice letter from a fantasy football league owner discussing whether or not he should start the Pittsburgh Steeler’s Willie Parker or the Carolina Panther’s Stephen Davis and then….

YAGGGH! He’s terrifying. ESPN needs to do something about this. And for the love of god, please don’t let Engel have one of those creepy animatronic heads like some of the Page 2 columnists. We’ll have nightmares for that will last a lifetime.
