Fantasy Analysis
With Gerald McCoy (biceps) out for the season, the Buccaneers were in need of a big man in the middle of their defensive line and they appear to have found one in Haynesworth. He has proven to be a solid defender, when properly motivated, so hopefully he will be able to get back on track in Tampa Bay. But since he has been disappointing since his breakout 2008 campaign, continue to ignore Haynesworth in all but the deepest of IDP formats. (Updated 11/09/2011).
02/06/2012 01:25 Judgements: Manningham's catch review surprised him a little
Mario Manningham's sideline catch evokes David Tyree memories, a big grab keeps the winning drive alive for eventual champion Giants. But Clark Judge says the refs' review left Manningham wondering if he'd be a hero.
01/26/2012 07:03 After Further Review: Moving Grant around helped Giants rattle Brady
Deon Grant here. Deon Grant there. Pete Prisco says the Giants placed the veteran safety almost everywhere against New England in Week 9 and his pass rushing and superior coverage helped to confound Tom Brady.
Albert Haynesworth was traded to the Patriots in late July in exchange for a 2013 fifth-round pick, giving New England a nice addition to their defensive line rotation. That is, assuming Haynesworth buys into the Patriots' way of playing football. Since he's not expected to put up much in the way of stats, Fantasy owners should punt on owning him in any format.
