Fantasy Football: Can This Man Save Your Season?

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.

Well, everybody that looked like a genius drafting Terrell Owens in the third round has finally got what they deserved. Well, not really. They didnt’ deserve it. Nobody did. But for all the good the man brings to a football team, it’s amazing that his awful personality can completely ruin his own career. As an Eagle fan, it’s a shame that the worst case scenario actually happened, but we all knew it was a possibility as soon as he signed the contract(by dicking over the Ravens, no less).

So, it goes back to that whole theory about how there should be no surprises when you start dating a girl who cheated on her old boyfriend to be with you. You knew she had it in her to stray, so once she does, well, you knew what you were getting into. We hope for the Eagles’ sake and every fantasy owner that had him for seven weeks that the sex was at least good.

Anyway, do take a look at Greg Lewis as a possible replacement. We know Reggie Brown caught the pass last night, but it’s Lewis who will see the majority of the balls thrown his way. Dude’s probably in available in most leagues at this point. He stepped up huge in the playoff games last season. He may not have big play potential, but he’ll be the guy that has the best opportunity to gain 100 receiving yards for the Eagles on a consistent basis in this offense.
