If you’ve been following football this year, you’ve likely been impressed with the many pleasant surprises we’ve seen in the fantasy football world so far. While it’s true that some of the players we expected a lot out of have done next to nothing so far, there are those players who had no expectations, yet they’re tearing things up in 2009.
It’s interesting how it all works, but that’s what we get when it comes to the wild world of fantasy football. Without further ado, here are a few players who’ve been very pleasant surprises so far through the first part of the season. These are just a few of the many great overachievers we’ve witnessed thus far.
First of all, how about Pierre Garcon in Indy? Did anyone see this coming? I know that I didn’t, and while much of it has to do with the injury to Anthony Gonzalez, this guy is suddenly one of the best WRs in football.
Much of this has to do with the injury of Anthony Gonzalez, out for the season. Nonetheless, Garcon has been great. The absence of Gonzalez in Indianapolis has barely been felt, as the team is undefeated through its first five games of the season. Garcon has done an incredible job filling the shoes of the injured wide receiver. So has his teammate, rookie wide receiver Austin Collie.
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?
Few people could say that they did. As he’s the second best QB in football so far, no one saw that coming.
