Reversal of fortunes
After a 0-2 start of the season, Joby Knapp's Big South fantasy football team received another big performance from Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown on the way to 108 points and a Week No. 4 victory.
"Ronnie is a good back (we have a great coach-player relationship, thus the first name), but I'm not certain he can keep it up," says Knapp, 36, of Rochester. "He is the Dolphins only offensive weapon, so teams will start to pay more attention to him and the schedule does not get easier with two games against the Pats still ahead."
Brown has more than 425 total yards and four touchdowns during the last two weeks. Knapp also has Cleveland wide receiver Braylon Edwards, Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Indianapolis running back Joseph Addai, who left Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos with an injury.
"Other than these guys, there is not much else to talk about," says Knapp. "I've got zero depth, Philip Rivers isn't very good, Deuce McAllister was useless before he got injured, and Chester Taylor isn't getting me any points handing Adrian Peterson a water bottle."
