Steelers/Dolphins Roundup
O.K., so maybe it was a bit much on my part to go against the defending Super Bowl champs in their home opener, but for a little bit, it looked like it could fall my way. I did get the over though, so I'm not completely disappointed.
Fantasy notables:
Charlie Batch (no really, I'm serious), QB -- 209 passing yds, 3 TD's, 1 fumble lost
Heath Miller, TE -- 101 receiving yds, 1 TD
Hines Ward, WR -- 53 receiving yds, 1 TD
Nate Washington, WR -- 32 receiving yds, 1 TD
Willie Parker, RB -- 115 rushing yds, 13 receiving yds.
Ronnie Brown -- 30 rushing yds., 32 receiving yds, 2 TD's
Major disappointments:
Daunte Culpepper, QB -- 262 passing yds, 8 rushing yds, 2 INT's
Chris Chambers, WR -- 59 receiving yds
Randy McMichael, TE -- 10 receiving yds
Some fantasy items to note:
It made you want to reach into the TV and smack Bill Cowher in the head when he took out Parker at the 1 yard line and was going to give the carry to Verron Hayes. Yeah, that's right; as a Parker owner, myself, I was glad to see Batch fumble the handoff. Serves you right Bill. Maybe next time you'll stick with the guy who got you there. Fast Willie looked good tonight.
Culpepper looked a little hesitant out there and his accuracy wasn't looking too good either. I still think he'll need a couple of more games to really get the offense in sync, but if he does, look out! He could have a real nice year if the knee holds.
I'm still waiting for someone to wake up my sleeper of the game. Where'd you go Cedrick Wilson? Were you wearing Nate Washington's jersey tonight?
Ronnie Brown will need to get better yardage, but that will come against the weaker defenses. He's primed for a great year. 2 TD's and counting...
Sunday's right around the corner...

You understate your case. I found it hilarious that all of the experts on the Dolphins bandwagon seemed to have completely forgotten just how bad Culpepper was before his injury in his first post Moss year. As a former Culpepper owner I just had to giggle. Ronnie Brown owners have to be pretty concerned too. They got lucky that Culpepper so badly missed a wide open end for a TD leading to Ronnie's 2nd, but if Daunte continues to be this bad... so will Brown.
