Monday Night Football = Heaven. Double-Dip for Football Craving Fans!
Hello, Monday! Finally, we are back to that time of year when we actually anticipate Mondays (well, at least Monday night - for Monday Night Football!).
Tonight we’ll get a special treat from the NFL - 2 divisional rivalries, renewed first in the Hallowed Ground at Lambeau Field - and then we’ll watch along with all the crazed Raider fans in the Black Hole at McAfee Coliseum. Happy Times are Here Again!
For fantasy enthusiasts, there are several important story lines to follow in each matchup. In the 7 PM ET game, Minnesota at Green Bay, we’ll get to see:
- How well Aaron Rodgers plays in a full-speed, 60-minute NFL contest
- Whether Ryan Grants’ hamstring is a worrisome issue or not
- If Tarvaris Jackson has actually improved over last year
- If Bernard Berrian can bring respectability to the WR corps in Minnesota
- How scary Adrian Peterson looks in his sophomore season in the NFL
During the nightcap game in Oakland, we’ll start to find out:
- If JaMarcus Russell can make a silk purse out of the sow’s ear lineup of WRs in Oakland
- Whether Darren McFadden is a fantasy stud or a fantasy bust
- How the Raiders will parse out carries between Justin Fargas, McFadden and Michael Bush
- If Zach Miller is the “next” Antonio Gates
- If Jay Cutler can win a game without Brandon Marshall
- Who is the legitimate #2 WR on Denver’s roster behind Marshall
- If Selvin Young can flourish as a featured back
- If Andre Hall will grind out TDs for his owners from goal line situations this season (or not)
- If Tony Scheffler is the “next” Antonio Gates
All the drafts are over, all the trash talk from draft day is in the books - after tonight, some of us will be 1-0 and on our way to a trophy, some will be 0-1 and on the way to a crying towel - and a few will limp across the finish line in week 1 with a tie.
Get ready to lay out the smack talk on Tuesday - will your team get what it needs Monday night, or will you watch your rival blow past your guys at the last minute? It’s must see T.V., fantasy fanatics! Enjoy!
