Week 2 FantasiesNow that we chicks have had a taste of football, our fantasies have gone into over-drive! Though there wasn’t as much scoring as we expected in Week 1, there were a lot of new youngsters making mighty fine debuts (Tomlinson, Weinke). But as Week 2 approaches, it’s some of the seasoned hotties that are revving our engines. Fantasy Studs: Eddie George: The flimsy Bengals may have put a halt to the Patsie’s running game but let’s be honest: that was not a reflection of Cleveland’s defense. After getting rejected by the hot defensive studs of Miami, Eddie is chomping at the bit to get a taste of the action. And we chicks can’t wait to watch! Run, Eddie, run!!! Rich Gannon: Last week the Jets put absolutely no pressure on Peyton Manning as he and his Colts galloped all over New York. Unless they change their sloppy ways, Gannon’s cannon will be erupting at will. After all, what Rich lacks in youth, he more than makes up for in experience and agility. Wayne Chrebet: Just so you loyal New Yorkers don’t think we’re picking on your boys, we do believe that Vinny and his troops will get their heads out of their butts this week. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. And “Tough” is little Chrebet’s middle name. Vinny will look to his main man Wayne to come through in a clutch and Wayne rarely disappoints. Rod Smith: Now that bulging Eddie has gone down, Rod will have less competition for Brian’s affections. Smith will be the go-to dude as the Broncos do their best to keep pace with Peyton and his fired-up ponies. Fantasy Duds: J.J. Stokes: This San Fran lad may be getting a bit cocky now that Jerry isn’t hogging all his balls. But we have news for J.J. – he’s no Jerry Rice. He may have looked smoldering against the mediocre Falcons, but Stokes will find it’s a whole new ball game against the Saintly boys of the Big Easy. Randy Moss: Ordinarily we girls would never bet that Randy would have 2 bad weeks in a row. But this time we think the virile receiver is doomed. Moss will have to wait one more week to redeem himself as he takes on Ray Lewis and his killer pals. But in Week 3 the poor Bears won’t know what hit them, as Randy makes up for 2 weeks of abstinence.
