Last week was a dud all around for my sleepers for week 2 of the NFL season. Despite a rough week I am still feeling confident with my selections. Well — here they are….
Mohamed Sanu, Cincinnati Bengals, WR- With A.J. Green fighting the injury bug, and after having a stellar week 2 I feel that Mohamed Sanu is on par for another stellar performance. Sanu will have ample opportunities to make plays, and it should be expected that he cashes in on the opportunities. The Bengals are looking like the best team in the AFC, and Dalton has done a pretty good job getting the ball to his arsenal of playmakers. Keep your eye on Sanu.
Santonio Homes, Chicago Bears, WR– All eyes will be on Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery in a Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets, but I feel that Santonio Holmes can sneak in and have a good game. Holmes is building up a rapport with QB Jay Cutler, and with Holmes playing against his former team I expect him to be featured a lot. It also doesn’t help that the Jets gave up 346 yards passing last week, so Jay Cutler should be licking his chops. It hasn’t been “Tone time” in a while, but Monday could be the day.
Knile Davis, Kansas City Chiefs, RB– With Jamaal Charles out due to injury Knile Davis will be expected to carry the load. Davis has proven that he can hold the backfield down by himself, and with the Chiefs in a must win situation I see him having a big game against the Miami Dolphins.
New Orleans Saints Defense/ST– The Saints are sitting at 0-2, but they have a favorable match up against the Minnesota Vikings. Last week the Adrian Peterson-less Vikings looked bad, and QB Matt Cassell was in a giving mood by throwing 4 INTS. I think Rob Ryan and his troops have a big day, and keep an eye on the Saints return play as well.
