Week 8 Fantasy Round-Up

Slate Schwertner — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:35:43 +0000

Another Sunday, another round of Fantasy Football.

Last week took me by surprise: Steven Jackson was the leading scorer, and Miles Austin and Dez Bryant amassed a whopping 6 cumulative points. There are a couple of favorable games, and there should be some huge points put up. Tebow can keep Tebowing, but he will never be successful in the NFL, as a QB. Tebow’s throwing motion will be his downfall, so I guess that means I don’t like him. Tebow won’t look pretty in the process but he will put up decent numbers. Check back after the break for the usual round-up of players. (more…)

With less than a week to go before the trade deadline in the NFL, rumors have been flying around all over the place about possible trades between teams. Almost 95% of the trades are just speculation and are based simply on someone’s opinion. One of these rumors that involves the Panthers seems to be just that.

In the past few days the Denver Broncos have made it known that they are willing to part with star wide receiver Brandon Lloyd and the Carolina Panthers have been mentioned as a possible landing place for the 30-year old receiver.

With the trade deadline less than a week around there have been some rumors flying around about players being traded to this team and that. One trade that has seemed to catch some legs around NFL circles is the Carolina Panthers trading for Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd. However, GM Marty Hurney and Panthers coach Ron Rivera have said they at this point are not exploring any trade options.

At first glimpse this may seem like an easy deal that Marty Hurney should pull the trigger on for a draft pick or two. Brandon Lloyd is coming off of a career season last year, in which he led the league in touchdowns and yardage, and is a proven player in the league. As far as the Panthers are concerned outside of Steve Smith, no other receiver has really stepped up. Legedu Naanee can’t catch a cold much less really get open and Brandon LaFell hasn’t really gotten a chance to prove himself.

So the deal seems to fit but in my opinion the Panthers shouldn’t waste their time and draft picks on Lloyd and here is why. (more…)
