With wide receiver Danny Amendola (concussion/knee) out of the equation, White could being seeing more looks from quarterback Tom Brady in addition to his rushing responsibilities. With talk of the possibility of White lining up as a slot receiver at times in week 2, the potential for an efficient fantasy outing could be in store for the PPR stud.

Big Bodies- Rise of the Tight End fantasysharks.com Thu 9/15/11 9:06 AM1 Comment

Trying to bring original ideas to a game where sports news replays itself out over and again is very challenging. I read info from many sites but few shape my ideas and opinions like watching a game and breaking down the players. I won't bore you with trivial info or news that other sites are reporting. I have my own ideas about how things are going to shake out this year. This week I am focusing on the big men at the Tight End position. Tight Ends Observations: Carolina Panthers Greg Olsen is the next breakout player for Carolina. Although last week Cam Newton was locked on to Steve Smith, do not expect that to be a major theme this season. Most believe that Jeremy Shockey is the main tight end in the offense. However, Olsen is a much more agile target. He has the ability to get deeper and poses more mismatches due to his size and speed combination. This week you will see Steve Smith blanketed by Green Bay defenders. I have a feeling that Olsen and Shockey will be the biggest factors receiving this week. Newton will have problems with pressure and it will be difficult to move the ball on the ground versus an aggressive linebacking corp. The edge goes to Olsen since he has the ability to stretch the field and can sit down in the seam. A quarterback's best friend under duress is the tight end. At some point the running game has to get moving, It's not this week in case you were wondering. Outside of Cam Newton taking off once the receivers are down field, you aren't going to see much in the way of a ground attack. I suspect that Carolina will use the screen and short passing game to move the chains. That being said, DeAngelo Williams and Steve Smith have the best opportunity to take it to the house in the quick hit, short passing game. The Green Bay defense is more likely to give up the dink and dunk yardage rather than the big play. I see either Newton finding the end zone with his legs or finding one of his two big targets inside that can post up their big bodies like NBA front men. Cleveland Browns Evan Moore is not a tight end. You probably wonder what I am talking about? Evan Moore is a converted wide receiver from Stanford. He is again the second tight end in the Browns' offense. Do you see a recurring theme here? Moore has the hands that most tight ends would give their eye teeth for. At 6'6", 250 lbs, Moore runs in the mid 4.6 seconds in the 40. He plays a heck of a lot faster than that. Last week he found the end zone and before you ...
