Trent Dilfer, Joey Harrington Head Free Agent Pickups And Drops In Fantasy Football

September 22, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Sports News
Trent Dilfer, who led his Cleveland Browns to a shocking upset over the Green Bay Packers, is the most sought after free agent after the first week of the NFL Season. Cleveland, an early season favorite to have the first pick in next year's NFL draft, picked apart a shaky Packer defense en route to its first win of the season. Dilfer, the Browns quarterback, passed for 336 yards and 3 touchdowns, besting counterpart Brett Favre of the Packers. Dilfer, undrafted in most leagues, is now riding his week 2 stats onto many fantasy rosters, says Todd Lokken, President of Strategic Fantasy Football.

Opposite of Trent Dilfer lies Joey Harrington, who had an atrocious performance against the Chicago Bears. Harrington tossed 5 interceptions, which led to a lopsided Chicago victory. In fact, most trends from NFL.com, ESPN.com, and SI.com show Dilfer directly replacing Harrington.

Other top free agent signings include Drew Bledsoe from the Dallas Cowboys and Ron Dayne from the Denver Broncos. Other most-dropped players include Chris Baker from the New Yok Jets and Tatum Bell from the Denver Broncos.
