Week 2 Whiparound

So as I’m watching the Sunday night game, I’m thinking Seattle gave up a first round pick and a pretty solid starting center to acquire Jimmy Graham during the offseason – and Jimmy Graham is really nowhere to be found in Seattle’s offense.

Graham did catch a TD in week one, but in the small portion of the game I saw, was on the field certainly no more than Luke Willson and seemingly less. The same seems to be holding true tonight against the Packers. If you’re going to give up that much to acquire a guy, you might be well served to have a plan on how to use him.

Lots of interesting tidbits today. We’ll start in Dallas, where the entire fantasy football roster there took a hit when Tony Romo broke his collarbone this afternoon. The running game already was a committee and, with Romo hurt, Brandon Weeden is going to be called on to more than likely just manage games. I’m not feeling too good about Terrance Williams or Cole Beasley, though Weeden did throw one nice slant to Williams that ended up a TD. I guess Jason Witten has looked good and probably remains a safe target. (more…)

Buy or Sell: Carlos Hyde

Carlos Hyde
ADP: 37.1
RB: 15buying-selling

For the first time in nine seasons, San Francisco will have a new feature back. Second-year RB Carlos Hyde replaces long-time vet Frank Gore, who left for Indianapolis in the offseason.

Last year’s second-round pick groomed for the job last year, scoring four times on 83 carries and producing a 4.0 yards per carry clip.

Can Hyde provide a younger, fresher version of Gore? Or will taking on the main role for the 49ers prove to be too much of a gig for this youngster to handle?
