TD-Rex
Like most fantasy owners, I thought it was a typo when I saw on television that Bears quarterback Rex Grossman threw for four touchdown passes (four!) and 289 yards last week. Grossman, who went undrafted in most fantasy leagues, is turning heads quicker than a Reggie Bush spin move, but can he keep it up? No.
Grossman is not the kind of guy you can depend on to be a No. 1 quarterback, but as I wrote in Saturday’s Norwich Bulletin before the big game, he can be counted on as your top backup and 20 touchdown passes is realistic.
One thing going for Grossman is the beats horrendous schedule which I’ve brought up several times in the past. Some things are worth repeating. The Bears 2006 schedule is as follows: Green Bay (2), Detroit (2), Minnesota (2), Arizona, Buffalo, Seattle, San Francisco, Miami, N.Y. Giants, N.Y. Jets, New England, St. Louis and Tampa Bay.
Another thing on Grossman’s side is the emergence of wide receiver Bernard Berrian, who has quietly put together a nice start to 2006 with two touchdowns on 138 yards and six catches in two games. With Berrian keeping defenses honest, it opens up opportunities for Muhsin Muhammad, who I feel is one of the top-8 most talented wide receivers (this doesn’t mean he is a top-8 fantasy WR) in the NFL. Muhammad has racked up 10 catches and 161 yards this season and those numbers will only get better if Berrian continues to make circus catches and score every week.
