Week Three Answers: Dallas Cowboys 27 Green Bay Packers 16

by faketeams on Sep 24, 2008 4:00 PM EDT in Football

Q: Can the Dallas offense be stopped?

A: Apparently not. If Tony Romo is hitting Terrell Owens and Patrick Crayton, he finds Miles Austin for two deep strikes. RB Marion Barber III has been the best RB so far this season and is playing himself into a Top 3 RB in next year's fantasy football drafts.

Q: After two solid weeks, does QB Aaron Rodgers come back to Earth?

A: Sort of. He did not throw a TD pass, but he did throw for 290 yards, no INTs, and ran in a score. If this ranks as a letdown, sign me up. Rodgers is a Top 10 QB right now.

Buy Low Fantasy Player: RB Ryan Grant. Obtaining starting RBs is difficult via trade once the season begins. However, Grant's early struggles have likely made him available. Titans' RB Chris Johnson could get him.

MB3

I’ve gotta see MB3 do it for an entire season before I’d bump him into the top 5. My bet is that he’ll eventually miss a handful of games b/c of his running style.

Style

MBIII is defintely a bruiser. Non-fantasy football related, I like watching the power running game executed by a good RB. Seeing a between-the-20s fast back replaced by a power one in the red zone is really broing in comparison.

Of course, I assume MBIII makes it through the season. he is deifntely Top 5 right now if not #1 – the dings of LT and AP concern me a wee bit.
