College Football Rivalry

The 2009 fantasy football season has been a very interesting one through the first six weeks of the year. We’ve seen many breakout players that no one really expected, and we’ve definitely seen our share of busts as well. Today we’re going to focus on the overachievers of the fantasy football world.

Let’s give some respect to the guys who have gone above and beyond the call of duty so far. Having impressed just about everyone out there, here are three players we all wish we drafted when we had the opportunity to get them.

Pierre Garcon has done some great things with the Colts in 2009. Had you asked me who Pierre Garcon was before the season started, I would’ve told you I had no idea. Now, he’s a household name in the fantasy football world.

Garcon has been magnificent in filling the void left by Anthony Gonzalez, and Peyton Manning seems to be building the chemistry between the two by the week. You wonder why the Colts are so good this year, and you have to acknowledge the fact that Garcon partly responsible.

Next on the list is Cedric Benson, amazingly one of the top running backs in football through the first six weeks of the season. Benson had never done anything meaningful before 2009, but now he looks great.

With a reinvigorated offense in Cincinnati, Benson has been the perfect complement to Carson Palmer’s passing game and the Bengals have a winning record as a result.

Matt Schaub. Who would have thought that Matt Schaub would be the second highest fantasy points scorer through the first 5 games of the season, only behind Peyton Manning?

Not I, said the fantasy football GM. Schaub has been brilliant and was a steal in all drafts.
