Week Three in fantasy football is almost over and there were two main surprises that deserve recognition for their performance and should be picked up if they are available in your league.
Austin Collie, WR Indianapolis Colts-He had 12 reception for 171 yards and two touchdowns. With Pierre Garcon inactive, Collie stepped up big time and provided Peyton Manning with a target in the Colt’s win over the Broncos. Collie, in his second year out of Brigham Young University, seems to becoming more and more comfortable in the Colt’s offense and should crush his rookie stats of 676 yards and 7 touchdowns (he already has 359 yards and 4 TD’s).
Peyton Hillis, RB Cleveland Browns- Hillis, drafted by Denver three years ago out of Arkansas as a fullback, is capitalizing on the Browns lack of a legitimate starting RB. He has scored a touchdown in every game this season, and this week finally broke out for 144 yards rushing. He now has 220 yards rushing and is almost certain to surpass his rookie year total of 343 yards. Hillis was thought to be too slow to play running back in the NFL, but for now he is proving his critics wrong.
Michael Vick and Pittsburg Defense impressed for the second straight week and should be started no matter the matchup at this point.
Sleeper Update:
Jason Snelling, RB Atlanta (62 yards) and Mike Tolbert, RB San Diego (73 yards) both had average weeks after receiving lots of hype the previous week. They both received a decent amount of carries (12 and 17 respectively) and are worth picking up in all leagues.
